Regading the American Resistance
I am still rather confused about the American Resistance forces. Has the Second American War ended? What pieces of land do each Resistance faction own? I found the timeline only provided information on the fascists. Perhaps this will be explained in mod events and the map. If not, please answer the questions listed. Thanks.

I can handle the official fix later. At the moment, I am giving Person and Kawaii temporary control over the timeline. Through Stars We Rise. (Welcome to the Universe). 22:26, May 27, 2016 (UTC)

Timeline Clarification
Okay, so I have a few questions regarding the timeline: BTW, GREAT GAME! How long until it starts do you think? Yours, His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Romanus (talk) 14:21, May 28, 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) How powerful is the British Empire? The initial section does not clarify more than saying that they are forced to negotiate with the Germans, which considering Churchhill's determination could only be due to a very significant and overwhelming threat. Churchill remained strong through the Battle of Britain despite very bad odds, so I am guessing that the Germans had an even larger and better trained Luftwaffe in this scenario, or the RAF were weaker etc.
 * 2) What is the state of the USA in terms of military and industrial strength and what territory is in conflict with rebels?
 * 3) How well recuperated is the USA? Due to the civil war they must be weaker than OTL, but to what extent? After all, according to the tl they managed to push back the Japanese.
 * 4) Which nations have Germany conquered in Central Europe, or anywhere else for that matter, that they didn't conquer OTL?

1. The British are banned from all continetal affairs and has to accept Germany can do whatever it wants in Europe, they have to trade with Germany for things like oil and they are meant to trade with Germany as opposed to the US they have to help Germany fight in wars but once the war actually started against the USSR they didn't bother joining in. They ended the war because they knew there was no way America would help them and America said if you don't do a negoaited peace we will cut trade crippling you.

2. The US has improved in New England with a lot of industry built there but the Southern States are still damaged from the civil war and their economy is in a slump the rebels have bases in both the deep conservative south and on the western coast where the US army left a lot of sleeper cells.

3. The Americans recuperated quite well at least militarily because Butler in an attempt to stimulate the economy gave all of his Wall Street buddies big military contracts to build a new fleet, airforce and army so the military got a lot of new gear although a lot of the infrastructure and the rual agriculture down south and in the eastern parts of the country isn't doing great.

4. Germany didn't go for the Balkans but it does hold all of central europe (Romania, Slovakia, Hungary) and the 1941 polsih border it holds Norway and Denmark.

Map Issues
I think Japan had Taiwan since the Sino-Japanese War. Vatonica (talk) 02:02, May 29, 2016 (UTC)

I know, Vatonica. Andreas and I are off to fix the map. :/

The Alliances
Mr.Orwell and his dammed imagination

Ace this is what I think the nations will be allied with, the rest, who know where they'll go

Britain:
 * British Colonies
 * Canada
 * Australia
 * Newfoundland
 * New Zealand
 * South Africa
 * Chile (work against Argentina)
 * Egypt (scared of Italian expansion)
 * Free France and Belgium
 * Republic of China
 * American Resistance
 * Ireland (would want it falling into jerry hands)

Der Reich: I mostly agree with this for now, but I feel like these will change even short-term and who knows, maybe an entirely new group will pop up. And no, I am not saying this from a Thailand POV, just mine. Yellowcat5 (talk) 03:23, May 30, 2016 (UTC)
 * German "Client" States
 * Italy
 * Spain
 * Turkey
 * Japan and its puppets
 * Finland
 * Bulgaria
 * Romainia
 * Hungary
 * USA (Is a maybe, not sure where Bel wants to be with Germany in the Final Solution)
 * Argentina

Yugoslavia
Currently, Yugoslavia is under Italian rule according to the Nations sections, but OTL it was German? Is this a mistake? Also, it was not called Croatia until many years later. - His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Romanus (talk) 14:58, May 30, 2016 (UTC)

Italian Social Republic
Is Italy unified or divided as it was from 1943? From 1943 Mussolini was driven out and was left in command of a very small portion of the nation. Is it the same ATL? He formed the ISR, which was basically a German puppet state. - His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Romanus (talk) 07:20, May 31, 2016 (UTC)

I realise now that it obviously was not the same ATL.

War Debt
I also think people need to remember that every single nation who participated will be massively in debt. At least a few years must be spent recovering: Britain is still paying off war debt from the 1940s to this day. As a result of the debt, most (perhaps even all) participants were forced into recession and as a result, there was a huge decrease in military spending with national poverty and debts soaring. Germany overspent hugely in the latter half of the war, as did Italy, Japan and the US. - His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Romanus (talk) 07:26, May 31, 2016 (UTC)

Not that it is relevant but the UK did pay the war debt off 10 years ago we are still paying off debts but that is the labour government's fault as opposed to European and colonial nations who refused to share the burden of our debt after the war when we liberated them rather than leaving them under Nazi rule. Person67 (talk) 07:30, May 31, 2016 (UTC)

I am aware of that yes, but although we paid off the bulk debt a decade ago we still have carry-on debts. Just mentioning it to remind players that even though they may have massive empires, they are now hampered by massive debts. -His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Romanus (talk) 07:55, May 31, 2016 (UTC)
