I can’t tell if this game is a lazy software development project by insane developers or an accurate representation of America’s future history.

Putin apologist- assume all uncited claims are from Russia Today or directly from FSB.

key phrases: Poor plucky little Russia, Spheres of influence, The West is Worse, they was asking for it.
I wish to point your attention towards the fact that Belarus was apparently at war with Latvia, Russia, and the United States.
It then proceeded to, apparanently, succesfully perform an amphibious invasion against the USA.

I wish to remind you all of the fact that Belarus is a landlocked country and does not possess a navy.

It is here: http://simsulla.org

But apparently someone else has been expanding it and adding more cold war events and stuff (as seen here http://www.moddb.com/mods/victoria-2-cold-war-enhancement-mod ), so I'm gonna check that out. Maybe if it's good (or funny) I can do a thread on it.

This is, in fact, what happens when you appoint your wife to a ministerial post.

Yes, you can do that. Yes, you just get a randomized new wife. Who you can then appoint to a different cabinet post.

You can fill your cabinet up with wives.

That Victoria II Cold War mod is kinda disappointing, most glaringly because nothing you do actually matters - the USSR is scripted to fall apart no matter what in 1991, even if you're the undisputed #1 power with 70% of the planet sphered, low militancy, and 5/8 Great Powers also communist.

There's one path you can take that stops it, I think the vaguely reformist path? I forget exactly.

This except taking power completely illegally as a violent group.

There'll probably be some ridiculous bug where you can just control a radio station and instantly get everyone in the entire country to rise up or something.

I know it was a month ago but I'd just like to point out that this is actually impossible because the developers took every country's reported data literally so dictators all have 100% popularity. I once caused a democratic revolution in Cuba and Castro fairly won reelection by like 90% of the vote

You can go to war with whoever you want, more or less, so that is indeed an option. However, the military is a pain in the rear end to actually control so it's best not to
