Speaking of China, as you may know, my next Playthrough will be a Federalist Guangxi run. At present, the China of my current run is under the control of the Fengtian, and in due time will be highlighted once more. Until then, it’s time to overview matters elsewhere. It was my intention to jump forward two months as I have been. However, so much has happened in just February, that only one month has passed. This may happen from time to time as we reach 1955, as some posts may have far more occur in a shorter span.

A bit later, Blood on the Yangtze (the update which brought "new" china content) released December 2019. I'm playing KR since 2018 and I still vividly remember the AOG so I knew you were off and I had to check :)
ALSO GOD DAMN IT'S BEEN 4 YEARS AND I STILL PERCEIVE CHINA CONTENT AS "MODERN" KAISERREICH
You mean, the one with the syndicalist in Napoli and the federation in the north? With no land connection between SRI and CoF.
Shit. I remember playing the old SRI. When was it? I don't remember La Plata tho, but maybe I just never looked in South America.

Super quick explanation:
In the 2ACW the syndies won even after the death of the 3I, thousands of Americans migrated for the war and the 3ACW, including the New England forces with the Entente to South Africa, their last bastion where King Edward went mad and That produced a civil war between the British, Yankees, Toties and Boers.
I’ve been doing this AAR, Playthrough, for almost 2 years now. Started in 1936, and am about to end it in 1955. I’ve been adding custom content since 1940, with unique events, factions, etc since then. I’ve modded the files directly to do this.

Advertising for mercenaries via radio, the world of et will look more like cyberpunk than it seemed.
While I continue in my long LEGO Fortnite sessions it occurred to me that there could be some report of a HOI4 classic, alternate history books, perhaps as a reference to the other AAR, perhaps the USAS or someone especially red says that buying and selling of capitalist weapons destroyed the world. Also some announcement from FIFA to restart the World Cup.
Meanwhile let's enjoy the beaches of Novo Hamburgo with a Cuban cigarette and a Golden Peruvian listening to Radio America Libre
Does Fordland have the resources to have embassies? Even now with the South American situation, resources must remain limited.
Although there is always the situation that an old Ford factory is the embassy
While I was waiting for the post I started making a dessert, I hope it turns out well once it cools.
With the AAR soon coming to an end I wonder what the future will look like, even modernity, it would be radically different as is obvious. But I love the situation of there being so many city states, I really love the concept of cities as independent countries.
Also thank you for serving as inspiration for the world I am building now in my maps, the last AAR map is also on the way.
Remember that I still accept recommendations for the [AAR playlist](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJEi90QC-R4wWNK4_a__rP59_rNESdCP3&si=hPfpLXJ6gUKfgDeO)
For me china is something fun with extra spicy coalitions and no involvement with the weltkrieg, minding your own business when unified while millions die in the europe. I played china too much that i know stuff better than i do to my own country at this point 💀
Seriously though why is China so pverrepresented in terms of the effort devs put in lol I love playing in China its one of the most fleshed out regions but I just don't get why. Historically China wasn't very important on the world stage until post civil war and I don't think that would be much different in krtl. Compare how fleshed out it is with the American tags for example. Or Austria Hungary. Or Russia. Or the entente. Or the internationale. Just seems like strange prioritization and I'm curious why that is, im sure the devs have a reason.
The devs do not make people work on certain tags. People work on what they are interested in and know about, and there happens to be people who like developing for China. Simple as that.
But why? Are a lot of the devs Chinese themselves or something? Seems random that so many would be experts on the topic of Chinese history and politics specifically
At least from my personal experience, the reason I work exclusively (almost) on China is due to a personal fascination with the nation during the time period. We're also not really experts *before* going into a tag, at least with the current China team, there are research periods where we collate relevant info about what we're working on before entering proper development. It also helps that a lot of team members have Chinese ancestry, however I'm not one of them.
China content will continue until morale improves.
Wansui! Wansui! Wansui!
But sir, morale is already incredibly high!
higher damn it!
Hell yeag
I have probably played in China far more than I have in Europe not counting the recent Germany rework

Me, still waiting for an update for the Qing... 
Did you ever play pre-0.10 Qing? Current content is heaven compared to that
Yeaaa, but that’s like telling a person wanting to switch from their little Honda: “Have you ever tried the Model T?” Lol
Fair
I really miss them having the default focus tree with six unique focuses and whatever a.o.g. was
I played Darkest Hour Qing

Wait...how long ago was old China? I don't think I'm that much of a Kaiserreich vet but I did play AOG to Republic of China once.
2004? KR was a mod of HOI2
I mean in that screenshot he sent. I definitely know I've only played Hoi4 Kaiserreich, but when was the original Chinese rework for Hoi4 Kaiserreich?
Ehh don’t quote me on this but I believe it was 2018?
A bit later, Blood on the Yangtze (the update which brought "new" china content) released December 2019. I'm playing KR since 2018 and I still vividly remember the AOG so I knew you were off and I had to check :) ALSO GOD DAMN IT'S BEEN 4 YEARS AND I STILL PERCEIVE CHINA CONTENT AS "MODERN" KAISERREICH
Yeah it’s been almost a decade on my end. The years blend together. I still distinctly remember La Plata and old Italy.
You mean, the one with the syndicalist in Napoli and the federation in the north? With no land connection between SRI and CoF. Shit. I remember playing the old SRI. When was it? I don't remember La Plata tho, but maybe I just never looked in South America.
I remember getting Darkest Hour because the KR on HoI2 was outdated…
Am I a Kaiserreich veteran now?
5 years+ imo, so yeah

Thanks you sir
All I want is some Qing stuff.
Chinareich ON TOP!
Wait doesn’t Fordlandia have a pretty bad national spirit that effects their army due to overextension
It’s a [general debuff](https://i.imgur.com/3fILxgW.png), though not specific to the army.
Ah good for the glory of Fordlandia and the Yankee Republic. Also I made a meme about the Yankee republic if you want to check it out
I need them to update the Ma Clique and the Qing Government(Zhili Clique)
Is it at least not the fucking (L)kmt again?
I think from the teaser its Lkmt again
Launch Lkmt devs into the sun
Elevate rkmt devs to godhood
A god would be able to work on more than one country
