      Would you play Dutch East Indies/Indonesia again? Someone recently created a mod for it.
      Well, you can play either the historical realism one or the full-on memetic one.

    Did you ever hear the tragedy of ISP the guy? I thought not. It’s not a story Bokoen would tell you. ISP was a Hearts of Iron gamer who was so versatile that he could even play other paradox titles.
    He had such a knowledge of Paradox games, he could even complete an Artillery Only playthrough.
    Unfortunately, he showed his Community the memes that he knew, and then his community sentenced him to A-Z

    Actually the decision to annex the Soviets doesn't require you to be at war to press it. It just forces you INTO the war when you press it. Very minor difference but I believe it's the only decision/focus/whatever in the game that does that.

    There's a Japan focus which increases the price in points on the peace conference to annex their territory. Combine that with relatively fewer victory points than most major countries and the stupidity of the AI fighting you for control of IWO JIMA and you get half of Japan alive with all their navy as well
