The Québec one looks like its mixed with the Métis flag. The Métis are mixed people (French and Indigenous) who live across eastern Canada. That's fucking weird bud lol
I think Paradox has 1 employee that just sits at their desk coming up with the most outlandish names and flags and that's it. That's their whole job! Money well spent
10:42 I don't know much about that flag but I can say that the infinity symbol is a symbol of the Métis people. The Métis are an Indigenous group in Canada that are descended from First Nations and European (typically French) traders in colonial times
The flag is a mix of the Métis symbol and the ‘drapeau de Carillon’, which was basically the first version of the Québec flag. I’ve never seen those two combined before though.
And the inward-pointing fleur-de-lis are from the original design for a Quebecois flag. The extra gold fringing doesn't mean anything to me. I think most Canadians would be able to look at that flag and be able to figure out what it's supposed to be.
Mentally deranged enough to pre-order the DLC. Cause y'know pre-ordering a dlc before knowing if it's actually going to be good is kind of stupid these days.

14:25 Catherine the Great invited Germans to immigrate and cultivate the steppe areas on the Volga (Wolga in German), the Volga German Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was abolished 1941.
You would be surprized. Nazis actually considered collaborating with Zionists as an alternative to, you know, local host. So, if the opportunity presented itself, who knows what would actually happen
@@desran4447pretty sure they still would backstab them the moment they secured the region but yes, some zionists did collaborate with the germans to “free israel”
@viewer.123 I know it's a decently common charge, but the fact they put it on the Congo's flag is definitely some dark humor. Just in case anyone doesn't know, one atrocity in the Congo that drew a lot of international attention was that the Belgian colonizers would cut off the hands of workers who underperformed or tried to show any resistance. Reportedly, King Leopold II said that this was a mistake, not because it's an atrocity, but because "We need more hands in the Congo, not fewer."
I am aware of this, hands do hold alot of symbolism in multiple contexts and in other cultures certain things have been done with hands as punishment or as a sign of ownership, domination etc To me this is reminiscent of the story behind the British two finger salute. Although the context is different it's the same sort of humour
Legitimately a CPU benchmark I’d love to see. Wonder if more Hz or more cache wins on this one. I’m betting cache, but it probably depends on how Paradox’s engine works under the hood.

8:22 Funny story about this. So we say “Island” instead of Iceland in Germany, and whenever I saw the word Island somewhere I got really angry. “If there’s Yoshis Island… Where’s Yoshis Germany?”
Now I'm much better, but the correlation is strange, the more depressed you are, the more isorrow you look, it's not a bad thing, it was almost the only thing that made me feel something resembling happiness in the form of laughter, thank you eternally
TBH i think its good paradox waited so long to rework germany as now they can integrate this update with all the new mechanics like balance of power, spy agencies, etc. so we wont end up with limbo nations like idk romania which was released not that long ago to get a rework, but so long ago its tree shows age
Everyone should know that Ukki Väinämöinen in the 15:00 video was blind for about 20 years before his death in 1942, so they did put a blind man in charge of the country
the first youtuber being honest with his spending of his affiliate key i was iffy about spending more money on the game but your honesty is respectable and i shall spend 36 euro on your chocolate addiciton
I think it's cool having unique subject names in Hoi4, I think the British when they puppet Mexico it gets renamed to the Dominion of Mexico. I hope with the new Germany overhaul they have new names for German and Austrian subjects like the Habsburg Kingdoms and more Reichskommissariats/Imperial Colonies
I did this as the german empire a week ago, if France declines the return of Kaiser and you don't back down they'll go to civil war and in the end you can split France between more Frances
After seeing this, I want to be able to form the Holy Roman Empire as Austria in the DLC and release all provinces of the HRE as puppets for the full immersive experience.
with some nations u gotta be careful to release as many puppets as possible, for example with ethiopia the small nations often overlay ontop one another and if you release one thats multiple states big you wont be able to release something different giving you less puppets. :)
Breaking up every country into tiny puppets... Meanwhile in Czechoslovakia whose name is made of the two nations to be separated... "Well not gonna do that..."
The flag at 10:47 does look pretty silly, but the infinity symbol on blue is actually a symbol for Metis, and obviously the Fleur-de-lis is for the French.
Yeah, of those three Japan probably needs it the most. Maybe a Pacific War DLC coming at some point. EDIT: and maybe overhaul the navy game. So much of the tech is pointless.
One of the nations released from Spain's African possessions has the tag WES When fascist, it's called the Empire of the Desert Sad that you didn't show it off, but at least you saw it when releasing
Ya know, if you want to min max this, Napoleonic France probably has the most puppets since you break up Germany and can soft decolonise and release all your colonies as puppets.
I wont lie, a playthrough like this probability needs that one old formable puppets mod, if not for esthetics then at least to deal with lag. Also, only the real paradox players remember when the far eastern russo-Japanese republic used to be called "the republic of green ukraine"
