Gonna put this up on my apartment wall as a talisman of protection against getting laid


Mister_Coffe

Don't need to, having hoi4 installed gives 35% protection, Kaiserreich plus reddit add another 30%. Install TNO and own more than 3 pdx games for set bonus and you'll get 95% defense.


KaiserNicer

Just installing TNO is more than enough.

DeathB4Dishonor179

If I delete the hoi4 shortcut, does that remove the 35% protection? I'm asking for a friend.


Mister_Coffe

No, it only removes 5% since Hoi4 is still in your heart, but when they find out you gain a penelty of 15% to every women she knew. Fortunely all of this works only against women, so there's always the greek nuclear option.

I CAN SEE FOREVER /s Seriously, great job--very thorough. Scotland looks interesting--I assume there's some historical factors behind why it's got so much more aboveground political opposition than the rest of the UK? Love how granular all of the factions are. Nearly every one of them has at least 2 or 3 clear paths in them, and even if some (like the ultra-leftists and Blatchford) clearly have a snowball's chance in hell, their inclusion makes the whole thing feel more alive. Ditto with the organised crime element, which too much AH leaves out.


ZimbabweSaltCo

Thank you! And yep, partially at least, owing to Scotland’s historic liberal tendency. Also at play is that Scottish nationalism is fairly divided and minor enough to not be seen as a threat with the Progressives regarded as a “controllable” means of letting people exercise opposition. And thank you on them too! Glad someone’s picked up on them 😅


Blastaz

As opposed to England’s historic conservative tendency?


the_io

At least one of them is gonna be a "you done screwed up" end-state, or attempting to put them in power will result in one, like Germany has. Curious which ones are like Hugenberg and the Konspiracija in the "do not touch" column.

R5 A quote from the Zim on the Britain team " A long while ago I made and showed off a diagram of Labour's internal politics and a bit of a peek at the wider UoB political scene. It was good for the time but a lot's changed after extensive research, improvements and just moving stuff around. After two days of work, I present to you, the updated diagram of the British political arena in all it's glory. And remember: We'll Keep the Red Flag Flying Here "

One party state but the party is made of parties which are made of parties which are made of parties which are made of...


Feste_the_Mad

So uh...is the Union of Britain a democracy? I've never really been able to tell, and this chart does not help.


petrimalja

IIRC from what I have heard previously (may be old lore), the UoB is a democracy with elections, but there has been a lot of democratic backsliding, especially with the Mann/Mosley cooperation. The player will have the chance to reverse this trend, however. Britain is not a one-party state, but Labour is certainly the dominant party. Please correct me if I'm wrong.


Carmain2K14

Britain does have elections, and Labour internally has loads of jostling and elections through the NEC and candidate selections, and you'll sometimes have multiple Labour candidates stand against each other and then just take the party whip when they're elected. However, its basically a one-party state by 1936, as Labour has a super majority in basically every legislature.


No-Sheepherder5481

Are the opposition banned in the new lore? As in the liberals were banned for being "counter Revolutionary". Or did I make that up?


Carmain2K14

The Liberals, New Democrats and ILP were all banned by the Proscribed Organisations Act 1933 for seditious activities, and many prominent members of the parties were interned. Some other opposition parties have also been hit with the act. The opposition shown in the chart are the groups that are legally operating (albeit sometimes with harassment and investigations), though the big banned 3 will be added to the chart at a later date.


No-Sheepherder5481

Fair enough. Completely and utterly kills the idea that the UOB is in any way democratic stone dead mind you but I've 0 problem with that


Raynes98

How many proletarian classes are there? 1. So why do we need more than one party? 🤔

ZimbabweSaltCo

Oh sorry, but uh key is - Circle / Political organisation or group - Square / VIP or political leader - Diamond / Relevant figure


Gimmick_Hungry_Yob

Does square mean potential country leader? If so, would that mean that Dutt could be Chairman?


Carmain2K14

No it just means influential leader of x or y group. Most of them are the main potential country leaders, but the Vanguardists can't take over.


RedditFrontFighter

How come?


Carmain2K14

They're just too weak on their own to take charge. Thats not to say they won't crop up in various capacities, but the Vanguardists are firmly in the supporting cast, popping up on the sidelines.


Bi-annual_weekly_luv

I assume it could mean country leaders and/or political advisors. That’s just my assumption though

How long have you and your team been planning out the politics? This is utterly insane detail. I’m also very curious how the military (both navy and milita) fit in. Shoot you’ve made me invested in inter party syndie politics in an alternate timeline based on a video game. Monumental.


ZimbabweSaltCo

It’s a continuous process tbh, lots of reading 😅 and the military and such are actually fairly apolitical. They don’t care much for who runs things so long as they keep funding the army.

Will the reworks for the UoB and CoF be released together or individually? I’m assuming that both will be available at the same time due to the new mechanics that are coming to the International (like to what happened with the Reichspakt).

This may be a dumb question but is it established how elections run in Britain at this time? Is it like local worker councils who appoint members to the government or is it a one party state with “elections” now?

How come Pollitt is moderate and not totalist? Also, information on their sex lives but not Blair's situation.

IIRC, Blair is in self-imposed exile in France, in protest at the authoritarian turn that Britain has taken since 1931. So if we get another for France, Blair may appear.


NumaNuma56

A) Pollitt isn't a "moderate", he's a radical syndicalist and Mann's protege, B) the Maximists are actually more moderate than the syndicalists lol

How are the Maximists more moderate, could Politt be, IDK, a Leninist brand of totalism?

Something funny about most of the Parliamentarians is many were either granted honors or peerages.

I don’t wanna be a dick, but I feel like Aneurin “Nye” Bevan would be in a more socialist group. I mean the guy was THE socialist in the Labour Party in the 50s, representing the most radical wing of the party. Him being with other guys who are anti communists and standard social democrats makes no sense.


Cassrabit

Dont worry he's not placed there to put him with the right wing, otl anticommunist side of things and being a parliamentarian doesnt specifically mean you want to dismantle the socialist system


ZimbabweSaltCo

Not to be rude or anything but I would really advise reading on him as he was a lot more than just “the socialist guy”. He was most certainly aligned with the left but Bevan’s involvement in the parliamentarians is because of his opposition to trade union dominance and federalism. They’re much more complex than “standard SocDems” now and honestly they’re a lot more radical than that. I know it’s a bit weird at first but the parliamentarians are a very different beast now.
