      Yeah, I hate those decisions / focuses that just make you a puppet for no gain. For instance, at the end of the Czechoslovakia submissive route, you can make yourself a German puppet. Aside from a roleplay reason, I have no clue why you would want to choose that. It doesn’t unlock anything, you don’t benefit in anyway, and you have all the negatives of now being a puppet. Same goes for Warlords choosing to submit to Japan and become a puppet.

    "Is an anarchist nation a thing?"
    Barcelona in Spain was heavily anarchist and it functioned . If that could be functional in that region then it can be upscaled to work for an entire nation.
    It would presumably be rather weak militarily and would more than likely only be able to defend and not project its power though.
    There's also the chance that it could get taken over because of its constant weak military state as well. Power does not allow for vacuums for long periods of time typically

      But I'll restate my position: of the ragtag populist forces fighting against Franco's trained troops, the Anarchist detachments had, on average, excellent morale, but severe equipment shortages, and acquitted themselves honourably despite that.
      And it's not like I'm unaware that the mainstream reading of the war is that the CNT-FAI were little better than bandits most of the time

    I'm really happy to see this, I have always thought playing as a puppet should be more interesting. Hopefully they update the old submitting as a puppet focuses for the Czechs and such. Also I think it's cool that that the collaboration focus uses Ethiopian claims, to legitimize Italian claims on parts of Africa.

    16:53 If you use them in the strictest senses of both words you could potentially be a member of an anarchist nation. You just would be effectively an ethnic group without representation by choice.

    When I'm bored, if I choose to play Hoi4, I always go for an anarchist spain run. Something about Anarchism and coring the world speaks to me.
    (That and now that I think about it, I've probably only joined the Comintern less than 10 times since 2016, which considering my hours, that's very very little)
    The African Union LARP, oh my, I literally played Communist SAF early last month doing this, puppeting all of Africa after defeating the Allies and Axis. Afterwards I did a cheat game where I painstakingly added Ethiopian cores for all of Africa using commands (didn't cheat the Italian war though), was quite fun.
    This is going to be awesome.
