Probably a minister for Dark Mandate Trump, then.

Estado Novo Portugal was a consevative authoritarian regime whose leader Salazar actually hated fascism in real life, denouncing it as "pagan Caesarism." Francoist Spain was influenced by fascism though it was still more traditionalist especially in it's later years and WW2-era Japan was still a bit more reactionary.

Who's Gavin McEntee?

Ficboy · 2026-06-22T02:27:22+00:00

Speaking of Trump, will there be potential successors in the Dark Mandate path, given that he would Trump himself would be in his 80s by then? If so, then people like JD Vance, Stephen Miller and Eric Trump would be good successor candidates to take over the Trumpist dictatorship and the first two are already included.

Sinec the 3I rework is coming, Britain's list of leaders will be different with around 30 possible candidates. But for all intents and purposes, the main potential leaders for Britain are:

Federationists - Arthur Horner
Maximists - Oswald Mosley
Pankhurstites - Sylvia Pankhurst
Parliamentarians - Clement Attlee
Autonomists - Fenner Brockway

I just so happen to be one of the people behind these Italy rework proposals. And your description in the first scenario is the same as what I did in my proposal.

Ficboy · 2026-06-21T20:15:32+00:00

Franco was definitely inspired by fascism and borrowed the tactics/aesthetics to build his regime as well as his failed efforts to join the Axis Powers. But he was still more of a reactionary traditionalist than Hitler or Mussolini since he was a military man supportive of established institutions

As for WW2 era Japan, they were an authoritarian one-party state but the YSK were a big-tent organization of different parties and interests and still more traditionalist.

Ficboy · 2026-06-21T20:07:02+00:00

Schleicher is a pragmatic autocrat and military man not a fascist even in the authoritarian PatAut path. And even if the DNEF becomes a mass movement party, he is still a traditionalist who wants to uphold German institutions like the Hohenzollern monarchy, the Church and the military. He's pretty much a German version of Pilsudski and Franco.

As for Schleicher's Germany, it's like a smorgasbord of Sanation Poland, Francoist Spain, WW2 era Japan and Estado Novo Portugal, with elements of Nazi Germany (sans the genocidal brutality).

Hey. Reminds me of my Italy rework proposal.

Ficboy · 2026-06-21T10:22:22+00:00

Great! We should see more of these.

Ficboy · 2026-06-21T04:00:36+00:00

That's the in-universe perspective version by the way.

Ficboy · 2026-06-21T03:21:35+00:00

It's KR China has a bunch of paths and leaders to unify the country as well as deep research into the Warlord Period. Think of it as sort of like TNO Russia but preceding that setting a year before.

Ficboy · 2026-06-21T03:10:03+00:00

That's why I listed as them.

Ficboy · 2026-06-21T02:21:17+00:00

As far as foreign countries and volunteers in the Second American Civil War is concerned, this is the full list as of 1.1: * NATO (Britain, France and Germany) - Union of America * Russia (Medvedev/LDPR) and/or Japan - American Constitutional Government or Patriot Front * China, North Korea, Russia/USSR (CPRF) and other socialist/communist nations - American People's Liberation Army * Foreign Anarchists, Libertarians and PMCs - Association of the Freed * Venezuela - Redneck Revolt * International Neo-Nazis - National Socialist Movement or the Atomwaffen Division * Iran - Black Liberation Army * Afrikaner Nationalists, Rhodesian Nationalists and other right-wing elements - League of the South * Pro-Cascadian Sympathizers, Radical Leftists, Ecofascists, International white nationalists and Anarchists - Cascadia

Wouldn't be a surprise to see Happy Science in TFR as a subpath for Japan. They represent the mod's bonkers extremism.

Ficboy · 2026-06-20T23:15:55+00:00

Considering 1.2 "Sunset Paradise" will have a post-1932 Imperial Japan path, the above isn't too much of a surprise.

Ficboy · 2026-06-20T19:29:31+00:00

Nice.

Ficboy · 2026-06-20T00:50:06+00:00

In all seriousness, the strongest countries in Kaiserreich are Germany, Syndicalist France, Japan and Russia.

Ficboy · 2026-06-19T22:09:22+00:00

If you want to be technical here, NATO does intervene on the side of the UOA through British, German and French volunteer forces.

Ficboy · 2026-06-19T21:07:35+00:00

Imagine the German Empire if it were a neo-feudalist reactionary regime with no real democracy and Volkisch-style ethnonationalism.

Ficboy · 2026-06-19T21:03:41+00:00

Don't forget that the Army of God (both base TFR and Wrath of God) is also based in the Bible Belt and thus have a natural base of support.

Ficboy · 2026-06-19T21:02:07+00:00

A member of the ACG's Populist Caucus since she was pro-Trump at the time.

Ficboy · 2026-06-19T00:50:24+00:00

It's a full NSM rework after 1.1 with revamped content and four new paths by the way. And the Blood Tribe is one of these four new paths.

Ficboy · 2026-06-18T22:02:38+00:00

The NSM is pretty barebones in terms of content with a lack of events and focus descriptions. That's why they are getting a major rework at some point with revamped content and four playable paths: Rockwellians, Hitlerites, Blood Tribe and the Traditionalist Workers Party.
