While I'm glad they localized country names based on government type, there are a lot that look pretty ridiculous.

"Empire of the Platypus" = Fascist Australia
"Union of Red Dragons" = Communist Bhutan

Really want to know if Canada is like the People's Republic of the Beaver or some dumbass poo poo.

This is actually amazing and better than any normal-rear end localization.

I was disappointed to see that the American fascists are the Silver Shirts instead of Father Coughlin. Until I noticed that he was the advisor you took to encourage a fascist coup. Well done Paradox. Silver Legion were still nobodies who never got even a whiff of widespread popularity even among the "burn the Jews, gently caress democracy" crowd, but you got Coughlin at least.

e: Shoulda been the Black Legion or KKK.

The Democratic Republic of Tibet had a peaceful transition from feudal theocratic weirdness to democratic theocratic weirdness. To celebrate, we decided to lend-lease Chiang Kai-Shek all the fuckin' Infantry Equipment he'd ever need. Then we said why not and joined the war against the Japanese Devils and the Lama Mountaineers single-handedly liberated Shandong and Nanjing. Bonus, we're making Kai-Shek's heart grow a few sizes by covertly increasing support for Democracy.

Meanwhile, those hippies in the Spanish Republic kicked Franco's rear end, but then got their poo poo kicked in by Vichy France once the real war broke out. Hitler now owns all of western Africa.

Also, Amelia Earhart survived.
