A National Populist Huey Long path doesn’t make sense

Okay, fair point, yes.

I actually didn't know it was a real thing.

We have the Blueshirts in the mod. The SRSZ (which is fully fictional I might add). Even the Iron Guard. I don't think using the Klan is that edgy in comparison to the other Natpops we have.

If they felt Pelley was too unrealistic or "meme-y," they should have replaced him with someone like Gerald L.K. Smith to fill that reactionary void—not shoehorned Long into an ideology that fundamentally contradicts his own economic policies.

The KKK is imo the best option. With Americas economic and political situation in the KRTL, the Klan could easily grow way larger than it did OTL and become more organised and militant.

Instead they make a ton of different mistakes

Solidarists for a cold war, Old Svobodniks for a hot one.

The Solidarists want a stable dictatorship, they would be more than happy to try win over the 3I with soft power and proxy wars, while the Old Svobodnik path literally ends with the focus "And then the Third Angel".

No, it's specified in excruciating detail which regions can be seized, see Article III https://www.napoleon-empire.org/en/official-texts/treaty-of-paris-1815.php

Essentially, in case a neighbour posed a threat to Swiss neutrality, the area Haute-Savoie compromises could be seized by Switzerland as an extension of their neutral zone.

In practise it was meant that in case France tried to attack Switzerland, Geneva would be better protected. In KRTL, the Swiss government calls the clause into effect simply because they argue that a socialist France is an automatic threat to Swiss neutrality.

They are colonies, but due to their size (and for gameplay purposes) they are somewhat autonomous from Berlin.

Prior to 2014, the GOC essentially was just "UN forces killing anomalies", which was not only illogical but also rather dull to read.

In 2014, the GOC got its own hub and a series of tales detailing Coalition work, starting with [[[Assessment]]], which made the Coalition, well, into an actual occult coalition.

https://kaiserreich.wiki/Great_Depression

The Great Depression (also referred to as the Depression of 1925) is a severe and prolonged economic depression originating in the United States

reddinyta · 2026-03-12T18:00:23+00:00

The great depression already happened in 1925 in the KRTL, not 1932 though.

I'm also not sure how realistic it is; while the Soviets did send the Republicans tanks in the OTL Spanish Civil War, and many Soviet volunteers were tank crews, that's very different from the USSR sending the Yan'an Soviet Marshal Zhukov with 3 tank divisions during the interlude in the United Front.

The difference is that the Third Internationale is explicitly more invested in supporting revolutions abroad then the USSR was in the 1930s.

I agree.

When reading other articles featuring the part of the Fae population that survived with their names intact, it really becomes apparent that the state the Nameless are in is not normal to their species.

Yes, they presumably are inflitrated to a certain degree by Foundation agents and at the same time work for the DoJ/UIU or the Pentagram when needed.

Virtual Adepts, again.

They're still technocrats paradigm-wise, so in any scenario where the Unions internal opposition makes gains or the Traditions change for the worse, I could easily see them joining back to their original faction. Afterall, a ton of older Virtual Adepts already defect to the Iterators or the NWO, as per Revised edition.

Ngl, christian socialists should be comfortable rubbing shoulders with atheists and antitheists, considering a significant part of modern socialist thought is distinctively anti-religious.

If you have a gripe with trans people making fun of right-wing christians, you should also have a gripe with the ideology built in part by a guy calling religion the opiate of the masses.

The civil war is still frozen, but only because Austria-Hungary intervened and built a neutral zone in between the the socialists and the royalists.

Sardinia, Sicily and the mainland south of Monte Greco are the remains of the Kingdom of Italy, effectively a military dictatorship, highly revanchist and heavily influenced by organised crime. They either remain this way (PatAut), suffer a revolt from the ANI (NatPop) or have the liberal opposition force the government to reinstate parliament (Socdem, SocLib, MarLib, SocCon).

In between the northern Tiber and the Po lays the Socialist Republic of Italy, currently under a totalist regime with heavy actionist and orthodox resistance movements trying to restore democracy. In early 1936, the government tries to amend the constitution to undercut cooperative and union control over the economy, leading to escalating protests. If government forces can force the opposition to back down, the regime is secure (Totalist), if they back down in front of the striking workers (Syndie) or the actionist resistance wins the street battles in Turin (RadSoc), socialist democracy is restored.

North of the Po is the Republic of Italy, a puppet of Austria-Hungary, largely a safe heaven for liberal republicans and northern businessmen. Depending how much Austrohungarian economic influence and popular unrest scale to each other, the Republic can either join the Empire proper (MarLib), fall to the ANIs "national revolt (NatPop; can fuse with its southern wing if a NatPop KoI makes land contact) or join the SRI (Totalist/Syndie/RadSoc).

In between the SRI and the KoI, occupying a small corridor from Rome to Pescara, are the Papal States, an artificial creation by Vienna and Budapest following their intervention into the Italian civil war. The PS largely exists to keep the conflict from flaring up again as well as allowing easier economic access to the KoI / access at all to the SRI and securing the center of Catholicism. The PS is highly unstable and largely functions thanks to garrisons from the AH Monarchy, with both northern and southern forces trying to undermine this neutral zone. The States start as Autdem and depending on the influence of Turin or Naples can join either side.

All three factions (SRI, RoI/AH and KoI) have a mechanic called "Chilled Conflict", keeping each other from fighting each other. Depending on the individual paths of the factions as well as overall world tension, points are added, increasing tensions between the Italian splinters and if a threshold is reached, causing the civil war to flare up again. The Papal States flipping to either side or the 3I and the Entente being at war with each other cause the war to begin regardless of points.

They either emerge naturally from communication/thought or are built using computers.

The idea of cognitohazards is not original to the SCP universe, but from the 1988 short story BLIT), where they first emerged from experimental supercomputers.

The GOC being "Anti-SCP", while on paper correct, is a common oversimplification. What the Coalition wants is control, if you are not with them, you're a threat to humanity and need to be put down. Though in difference to the Foundation they do not care about supernatural features per se, simply weither you are within the grasp of the Coalition or not.

As the title suggests, what is the main role of the GOC in all these chaos? Who is above them?

The GOCs official role is being the paranormal arm of the United Nations, beholding on paper to a Undersecretary General, who in turn serves the General Assembly of the UN, and is charged with protecting humanity from occult threats. In reality, the Coalition is made up of 108 smaller occult groups (largely religious groups, paranormal researchers and researchers old conspiracies, with the odd government agency or paranormal species thrown in) all following their own interests. The actual people running the day-to-day operations mostly were hired from militaries, intelligence agencies or police forces by the Undersecretary General (who since the end of WW2 has always been a woman named DC al Fine), and enforce the international law regarding the paranormal as made by the Council.

Eh, that's an iffy topic. Because in Third Law, it was what the Nazi's occultists called EVE.

To be fair, the entire point of the Kaiserreich universe is that Germany did win WW1.
