HOI4 Timelapse - What If Every Color Had Its Own Faction?

In this hoi4 timelapse I made factions based on the color of the country in hoi4. The Soviet Union has the largest army at the start of hoi4 vanilla so I expected the red color faction to do well, but not to just completely steamroll Eurasia.
FAQ:
Q: Some countries aren't color X whenever I start HOI4! Why did you put them in that faction?!
A: I released every country that was a puppet. This sometimes changes their color when they are released. For example, whenever the Dutch East Indies is released and becomes Indonesia, it turns from orange to blue, so I put it in the blue faction.
Q: Why are there random factions that appear towards the end
A: I don't really know. Whenever I caught this happening I made all of the factions declare war on them.
Q: Why do the factions change colors?
A: That happens whenever a country takes leadership of a faction. It will change the faction to the color of the leader.
What timelapse should I do next? Should I do games aside from hearts of iron 4? Maybe Eu4 or Vic2 timelapse?
Thank you for watching! Please tell me what did I well and what did I did poorly.

Thank you for watching! What video should I do next? This video was a viewer suggestion so please comment, I listen!

[@ZaiTime]

I have one/two more hoi4 videos in the works but I will try to set up Eu4 timelapses in the next couple days, and that will be my first timelapse!

Can there ever be a hoi4 game where I actually ai take the entire world and not just ending it when both left and right side have taken over their side. It would be satisfying to see a game finally end.

Impressive that the purple faction was able to stick around till the end despite not having any remotely powerful countries (except maybe Yugoslavia and South Africa), as opposed to the orange and yellow teams which had countries like India and China.

[@exaid0556]

Both China and India have nasty debuffs which prevent them from being majors - China has -50% division attack and defence and India have -69% population factor. So they don't make that much of a difference.
