Balthazar Johannes Vorster

**Balthazar Johannes Vorster** (born 13th December 1915) is a South African politician, who served as a senator.

## Biography

Balthazar Johannes "B. J." Vorster was born to a sheep farmer in Jamestown, South Africa in 1915. Becoming involved in politics during his years studying law, he had been a member of the pro-Nazi organization Ossewabrandwag during the war, an affiliation which earned him a detention at Koffiefontein. Claiming to have a newfound belief in the parliamentary system, he was elected as a National Party candidate for the National Assembly, before becoming a senator. Known for being able to be approachable, eccentric, and occasionally reasonable, he was nonetheless committed to Boer nationalism and the implementation of racial segregation.

## In-game

If South Africa decides to talk with the ANC and choose to turn the new native soldiers into a South African National Guard instead of establishing several Rifle Divisions in the subsequent choice, Vorster will then be found dead on a remote highway near Cullinan, Pretoria, actually be shot by the National Guard.
Golda Meir

**Golda Meir** is the leader of Mapai's "old guard" faction, who believes that true peace will only come from respect that will be given to Israel in a position of power rather than collaboration with Arab nations as the young faction in Mapai believes. Meir's youngest memory is of her father who locked the door of the house for fear of an immediate pogrom against Jews in the Russian Empire.
Ivan Yumashev

**Ivan Stepanovich Yumashev** is the leader of Kamchatka and a former Soviet admiral.

## History

Admiral Ivan Stepanovich Yumashev has spent several decades in the Red Navy, even though the country he once sailed for no longer exists. The seas he has sailed span from the Baltic to the Okhotsk, but these days he mostly finds himself staring at the Bering. He spent the entirety of the Great Patriotic War commanding the Pacific Fleet, patrolling the waters and occasionally getting into skirmishes with Japanese vessels. He heard of the news of the Union's defeat when he was stationed in Vladivostok, and quickly sprang into action and removed the fleet from the harbor before the Japanese jackals could arrive.

When the dust settled, Admiral Yumashev and his officers pledged their loyalty to the regime of Yagoda, who helped them find them a temporary job. As the reactionaries pushed forward, the navy forces of Yumashev had to find another home, far away from the besieged forts of Priamurye. The city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky had been abandoned by the Soviet government and most of its residents, and little infrastructure remained here aside from a few villages. The shores of Kamchatka became the Red Navy's landed headquarters, and the small fishing town was converted into a makeshift naval base.

Far away from the civilization, the Far Eastern Red Navy has done nothing but chip ice off the sides of their ships, impotently watching as the region fell into chaos and infighting. Without any reasonable way to obtain supplies and fuel, the sailors started to earn their living through piracy and smuggling across the Pacific, becoming an additional obstacle for Japan and the US in their competition in the ocean. It can be said that Admiral Yumashev isn't fond of what his men were turned into - but it also can be assured that he will not deprive his men from their only viable way of living on the edge of the Earth.
George Cadle Price

Leader of British Honduras,

## Trivia

In real life, Price served as the the leader of Belize under British rule from 1961 to 1981 (when the country was known as British Honduras from 1961 to 1973, and later as Belize from 1973 to 1981), and as the first prime minister of Belize after it became independent (from 1981 to 1984 and later from 1989 to 1993). Because of his role in the country's history, as well as how beloved of a figure he was, he is considered the "Father of the Nation" for the country.

Price is a devout Christian that fights for Belize to throw off the chains of a decaying monarchy.

## In-Game Description

As one head falls, two more take its place. That lesson agonisingly carves itself into the raw face of George Cadie Price's nation. Many in Belize hoped that the fall of the British Empire to the unflinching iron storm of Hitler's Blitzkrieg would herald the final emancipation of its inhabitants from the master's whip of Imperialism - an illusion ended by the animalistic jerking of a putrefying corpse. Canada, fat with refugees fleeing the chaos of Europe, has decided to force itself upon Belize where it claims to administer in the name of the Queen.

Perhaps the greatest insult is their strict adherence to God - claiming that their Monarch is divinely ordained, as opposed to the false prophets in blasphemous courts. They demand Belize look them in the eye and swear that this century-long torture is sacrosanct. They enslave Belize and call it justified. They believe that Belize is better off in chains. Would He allow Ramses to crush the Jews if they were "better off"?

No. Belize must, can and should carve its destiny, not burdened by its past but hopeful for its future. Under Price, Independence will not be easy, fulfilling or peaceful. But it will be honest. To a nation lied to for its entire life, what is more precious than truth?
Felix Steiner

## In-game

Steiner will only show up if Reinhard Heydrich is victorious in the German Civil War, ruling a small nation (Attack Group Steiner.)

## Trivia

The name of the region of Germany that will break away and Steiner will eventually take control of after Reinhard Heydrich wins the German Civil War, Angriffsgruppe Steiner (Attack Group Steiner), is a reference to the bunker scene from the 2004 movie *Downfall*, which had been subjected to countless parodies online (like this one) - in particular, Hitler's line "*Der Angriff Steiners war ein Befehl!*" (Steiner's attack was an order!).
Francis Parker Yockey

**Francis Parker Yockey** is an American politician, attorney and political philosopher. He is the leader of the American National Vanguard, a National Socialist party in the National Progressive Pact.

## Achieving the Yockey presidency

Like getting Gus Hall as president, the player must fail in pretty much every decision or conflict, which may include:

* Prolonging and failing US wars (i.e. South Africa, Indonesia and Iran) to get massive domestic unrest and trigger wide-scale radicalization.
* Pass the Civil Rights Act to get George Wallace elected and then impeach him.
* As Wallace's vice president Curtis LeMay, provoking the Dixiecrat southern base by passing a new Civil Rights Act, angering and further radicalizing the NPP-FR base to the point where they defect to Yockey's faction.
* Have Barry Goldwater win the 1968 election, then fail as him by not being able to get legislation passed and get caught targeting the unions.
* Destroy the unity of the Republican-Democratic Party and ensure that NPP unity is fairly high by 1972.
* Getting 20% party popularity for the Yockeys will allow Yockey to be the 1972 NPP presidential candidate.
* If the above methods fail, you can use console commands to give Yockey 100%+ party popularity to win the election.

## Trivia

The developers chose Yockey over the far more well known George Lincoln Rockwell due to them feeling Rockwell was overused. Rockwell is still referenced in the game as the namesake of Fall Rockwell, Hermann Göring's invasion of the United States.
Indian National Congress

Factions:

* Liberal Democracy

The flag of the INC

The **Indian National Congress** (**INC**, often called the **Congress Party** or simply **Congress**) was founded in 1885, making it the first modern nationalist movement to emerge in the British Empire in Asia and Africa. It was the primary party that founded the Republic of India.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

**Franklin D. Roosevelt** (born January 30, 1882) was the 32th president of the United States from March 4, 1933 to January 20, 1941. He took office following the presidency of Herbert Hoover and was succeeded by Thomas E. Dewey.

## Trivia

The original lore did not have Roosevelt serve at all, as originally, his New Deal policies were seen as too similar to the New Economic Plan that was enacted in the Soviet Union. This was later changed so that he did run, but instead of running for a third term (which is what happened in real life - he also ran for a fourth term, which he won, but died midway through), he followed the example set by George Washington, the first president (who in turn, was following the example set by Cincinnatus), where he did not run after serving out 2 full terms.

He left the army in 1977 with the rank of General and died in 1993.
Ivan Melkikh

### Role

Potential security minister of Komi and potential leader of the Imperial Airborne Brigades

### Political alignment

Warlord

**Ivan Melkikh** is a potential security minister of Komi under Sergey Taboritsky, leader of the Holy Russian Empire's air force, and leader of the post-Midnight Imperial Airborne Brigades.

## Biography

### Political career

The airborne troops of the Holy Russian Empire were largely considered to be the least politicized branch of the military, and so when the Imperial Airborne Brigades secedes from the empire, Ivan Melkikh is aligned towards despotism rather than the Imperial Cult.

No longer loyal to Taboritsky's ideals, Melikikh's state is created in former Yugra and uses the local oil reserves to its advantage. His clique has access to massive fleets of helicopters, and they use these to pillage and raid local towns for profit.

In this sense, Melikikh and his clique are a perverted twist on the Free Aviators, a warlord era statelet of pilots who dedicated themselves to fighting off the Luftwaffe's terror bombings out of pure goodwill, situated in virtually the same area that Melikikh will occupy. By contrast, Melikikh and the Airborne Corps become the very raiders the Free Aviators once protected West Russia against, for no baser motive than plunder and bloodthirst.
Free City of Nizhny Novgorod

The **Free City of Nizhny Novogorod** is an independent city-state formed by Onega after it defeats the West Russian unifier. Nizhny Novgorod repurposes the Gorky Automobile Plant to produce and sell vehicles to its neighboring warlord states. Compared to what the plant was used for during Chernyakhovsky's raids, this use is far more productive.
Ian Paisley

**Ian Paisley** (born 6th April 1926) is the leader of the Ulster Volunteer Force, a paramilitary that seeks the re-integration of Northern Ireland into England.

## Trivia

If one opts to pursue the path that will result in both Paisley and Seamus Twomey being arrested and forced to come to a compromise as a solution to the Ulster Arms Crisis, an event will have Twomey wake from unconsciousness, only to find himself in a police truck with Paisley - the latter greeting Twomey with "Hey you, you're finally awake". This is a reference to the somewhat infamous opening of *The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim* (viewable here), where the player character (the Dragonborn) is scheduled to be executed, and is awoken by Ralof, who says the aforementioned line.
Ivan Dziuba

The portrait of Ivan Dziuba

### Role

Head of the Department of Finance and Cooperation and potential leader of the Republic of Ukraine

### Born

26th July 1931 (age 30)
Nikolayevka, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union

### Political party

Ukrainian Revolutionary Workers' and Peasants' Party

### Political alignment

Left-Wing Nationalist

**Ivan Dziuba** (born 26th July 1931) is a Ukrainian Republican politician affiliated with the populist movement.

## In-Game Biography

### President of Ukraine

To those in the nascent Republic of Ukraine, Ivan Dziuba appears to be the ultimate countryman, a writer and thinker who has done all he can for his country. His writings have spread far and wide, following the Republican army in each town they liberate. Rather than speaking to the hardened insiders, Dziuba spoke to everyone, to all those who sought a better future for Ukraine. Rather than following the road of hatred like many nationalists, he has struck out on a socialist and anti-chauvinist nationalist program. His words have captured a nation - and seemingly, they have also created a president.

The incoming president may be inexperienced - he is young, just barely thirty years of age, and has until now been more defined by his thoughts than his administration. Yet President Dziuba knows his words, his nation, have the power to create something greater. The Ukrainian people are free - now, they must learn to be themselves.

Now, they must learn to survive.

### Head of the Department of Finance and Cooperation

Ivan Dziuba is a man of letters, a dedicated nationalist who believes in the sovereignty of the Ukrainian people. He is a staunch anti-chauvinist whose concerns for ethnic minorities has brought him into conflict with more conservative elements within the UNRA. He is a committed leftist who sees a bright future for all Ukrainians if she has the will to fight for that future.

What he is not is an economist or a manager. Nevertheless, a man of letters is needed to look after the logistics needed to support this insurrection. Though lacking in economic expertise, Dziuba is committed to the cause and has a vision for the future. Perhaps that is all Ukraine needs for now.
John Diefenbaker

**John Diefenbaker** is the current leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada and a potential Prime Minister of the Dominion of Canada.

## In-game biography

Born in Ontario in 1895, John Diefenbaker is one of the more senior men in Canadian politics. Serving with distinction in the First World War, he developed a disdain for the way in which politicians seemed so eager to throw away the lives of Canadian boys. Upon returning to Canada after the war, he went to law school, and from there, his political career truly began. Joining politics officially in 1924, he was drawn to the Conservative Party, mainly for its opposition to free trade, which he believed would make Canada dependent on the United States.

Four decades later, however, to say that John Diefenbaker is a tired man would be a gross understatement. Run after run, election after election, the Tories have found themselves at the short end of the stick. The Progressive Conservatives are a dying party, failing to win an election and establish a majority since the 1930's. The popular reign of the Liberal Party for the past 30 years has worn down on Diefenbaker, and this weariness is visible in his disposition and policy. A landslide loss to Pearson and his Liberals in '58 has done little to endear Diefenbaker to the current government.

In addition, the main reason that Diefenbaker ever threw in his lot with the Tories in the first place, fear of Canadian dependence on the US, is now more realized than ever before. The OFN has effectively shackled Canada to her southern "ally", dictating both her foreign and domestic policies. Luckily for him, however, the rise of the British Exiles in Canadian politics has presented the Tories with a unique opportunity to steal back the House from Pearson. With political polarization becoming an ever present issue, one thing is certain: if Diefenbaker and the Tories win the House of Commons, Canada will be flipped on its head.

## Trivia

* John Diefenbaker was the Prime Minister from 1957 to 1963. In particular, he opposed racial discrimination in his country. Diefenbaker remained the leader of the Progressive Conservative Party until 1967. He also stayed as a member of parliament until his death in 1979.
Josias zu Waldeck und Pyrmont

**Josias, Prince of Waldeck and Pyrmont** (German: *Josias Prinz zu Waldeck und Pyrmont*) is a German SS officer and the Reichskommissar of Reichskommissariat Kaukasien. Josias is a proponent of Esoteric Nazism.

## Biography

Josias was born into a royal family. He fought in WWI before joining the NSDAP in 1929 and joining the SS a year later. Josias rose through the ranks as a camp administrator. He was later appointed as High Commissioner of Occupied France, before being sent after the war to govern the newly created Reichskommissariat Kaukasien.

Josias was seen as a moderate and his first years of ruling over Kaukasus were mostly peaceful until his kidnapping and torture by partisans. Although he was rescued, he was scarred both mentally and physically.

Due to this ordeal, he cracked down hard on sedition and became interested in Esoteric Nazism. As time went on, Josias began to rule Reichskommissariat Kaukasien less as an occupied territory, and more like his personal fiefdom. The land soon became known as "the Black State," due both to its massive industrialization and the complete lack of information leaving the country. As of 1962, Josias has become more interested in the occult and has become less interested in following Germany's orders.

Iranian Revolutionary Liberation Front

The **Iranian Revolutionary Liberation Front** is a coalition formed with the purpose of overthrowing the German-backed Pahlavi dynasty, Should they succeed, the alliance will be blown apart and its members turn against each other.

## Possible Members

* Democratic Republic of Iran
* Baluchi Liberation Front
* Socialist Federation of Iran
* Shahdom of Iran
* Islamic Republic of Iran
Imperial State of Iran

The flag of the Imperial State of Iran

The **Imperial State of Iran** is a country in Western Asia. They border the Socialist Republic of Turkmenistan to the north-east, Reichskommissariat Kaukasien to the north-west, the Kingdom of Afghanistan and the Republic of India to the east; and the Iraqi Republic and the Republic of Turkey to the west. Iran has observer status in the Einheitspakt.

## History

During the division of the British Empire at the end of World War II, ownership of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company was transferred to the Greater Germanic Reich, being rebranded as the Deutsch-Persiche Ölgesellschaft (German-Iranian Oil Company).

In 1953, Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh was deposed in a German-backed coup, as a result of him nationalizing the DPÖ. In the aftermath of this, the Shah was greatly empowered and a pro-German regime was installed.

## In-game

At the start of the game, Iran will be independent, ruled by the Shah. However, during the Oil Crisis, the Shah will be assassinated, which will eventually result in a civil war between the existing Imperial State (led by Farah Pahlavi and supported by Germany), and the Revolutionary Iranian Liberation Front, an alliance of the communists (the Socialist Federation of Iran, led by Iraj Eskandari), the constitutional monarchists (the Shahdom of Iran, led by Shapour Bakhtiar), the Democrats (the Democratic Republic of Iran, led by Karim Sanjabi and supported by the United States), the Islamists (the Islamic Republic of Iran, led by Ruhollah Khomeini and supported by the Empire of Japan), and the Baluchi Liberation Front (led by Sher Mohammad Marri). After the Imperial State is defeated, however, differences between the parties will result in them collapsing into another civil war, save for the Baluchi Liberation Front, who will declare neutrality (as they merely wished to win independence, due to them being majority Sunni while the rest of Iran is Shia). Should the Democratic Republic win, this will lead to Iran joining the Organization of Free Nations.

With some of the most modern equipment, harshest training and strictest recruitment tests in the world they are the true heirs to the Persian Immortals of old.
Ibrahim Abboud

**Ibrahim Abboud** is a general and the potential leader of the Sudan Defense Force following the collapse of the Kingdom of Egypt. A Sudanese nationalist, he believes the Sudanese democrats to be too weak to maintain Sudan's independence, while also opposed to the Pan-Arab radicals of the Sudanese Ba'athists.
Kampfgruppe Heilige Pflicht

**Kampfgruppe Heilige Pflicht** is a breakaway state from Germany during the SS Civil War. It consists of the German territories of Tyrol & Slovenia. The Kampfgruppe finds itself north of the Italian Empire, east of the Swiss Confederation, west of the Kingdom of Hungary and the Independent State of Croatia, and south of Austria, the Black Band and Reinhard Gehlen's Deutsches Reich. The position of the Kampfgruppe is a favorable one, as most of the lands controlled by it is mountainous and Peiper's defensive skills as a commander makes it a lot more difficult to push through than other breakaway states. As such, an offensive war against them is ill-advised.

It's led by Joachim Peiper, an SS-Obersturmbannführer both historically in the likeness of Heinrich Himmler and an ally of Reinhard Heydrich. The Kampfgruppe Heilige Pflicht finds itself leaning more to Germania than Ost-Paris as Peiper's former ally is more in his interests than Himmler. Upon breaking away from the Greater Germanic Reich, the nation has control over the German missile stockpile along with several other minor breakaway states.

Even within the SS, Peiper's command is infamous for its refusal to show any quarters. Regular massacres of both civilians and POW make Peiper unpopular to the Wehrmacht as well as civilians. Peiper is therefore walking a tightrope which may be his downfall should the situation ever turn sour.
Islamic State of Mauritania

A country in West Africa, bordered to the Iberian Union in the North. It can become involved in the Iberian Wars and invade Iberian North Africa to liberate Mauritania. While most want to reform a new Mauritanian nation, there is heavy factionalism between Saleck's clique, socialists, and other generals disloyal to the current government.

## Traits

* Resource Gain Efficiency: **+10.00%**

## Biography

If one was to take a look at all the Reichskommissariats of Germany, they would not find an impressive sight. Most of the Reichskommissariats are falling apart at the seams, disloyal to the Reich, or simply unprofitable hellholes. However, one among these squabbling puppets stands out as a true jewel of Germany. Reichskommissariat Ostland is a mostly calm, profitable, and somewhat Germanized state, and it was all because of one man: Hinrich Lohse. A veteran of the Great War, an early devotee to the Party who joined the NSDAP in 1923, and High President of Schleswig-Holstein, it was no surprise when Lohse was appointed to the job as Reichskommissar in July 1941, considering his close ties with high ranking Nazis such as Alfred Rosenberg. From there, he managed Ostland loosely, delegating much of the necessary work to his most loyal and competent subordinates. This strategy has borne much fruit, as Ostland is one of the most Germanized, most profitable, and most stable Reichskommissariats. As long as these men had Lohse to control them and act as figurehead, this system worked.

However, bad health gets the best of everyone, and over the last few years Lohse has slipped away from the spotlight more and more. With him goes his uniting presence, and those under him have understood this. With Lohse's already loose hand growing more and more limp, those subordinates who once served loyally now begin to eye Lohse's seat with a growing hunger.

As Otto-Heinrich Drechsler, Franz Walter Stahlecker, and Andreas Meyer-Landrut bicker with one another, Abba Kovner's attacks grow more and more bold, and Michał Vituška and Friedrich Jeckeln watch and plot behind closed doors, one can see the clear cracks in the system. The people of Ostland can only hope that either Lohse recovers or a compromise candidate is selected as his replacement, lest chaos and blood flow through the streets of Riga.
Karim Sanjabi

## Trivia

In real-life, Karim Sanjabi was also a member of Mohammad Mosaddegh's cabinet, although unlike in *TNO*, he was a cultural minister in Mosaddegh's government. Although his career in *TNO* may be a reference to how he was later the minister of foreign affairs under Mehdi Bazargan, the last prime minister prior to Iran becoming the Islamic republic it is today.
John Glenn

**John Glenn** (born July 18th 1921) is an American politician from the Republican-Democratic Party, a former United States Marine Corps aviator, who became the first man in space, and is currently the Governor of Ohio.

## In-game

You could get him as a potential leader of United States of America, until his removal in TT3 **"Unfinished Business"**. And was replaced by Philip Hart.

Glenn could formerly start Project Ares. A program which develops a series of American Space technology, in order to launch manned expeditions to Mars in 1970s. Glenn could also assemble an openly apocalyptic nuclear arsenal, to intimidate Germany and Japan into a détente. Although if this fails, it results in Glenn becoming one of the most likely presidents to cause a nuclear war.

Rest in Peace Glenn

you will be missed.
Jânio Quadros

**Jânio Quadros** is a Brazilian politician currently serving as Vice President of Brazil under President Henrique Teixeira Lott.

## In-Game

Quadros pushes for a more independent or Co-Prosperity Sphere-aligned foreign policy, denouncing the OFN as "imperialist" multiple times.

There are 2 ways Quadros can get in power: he can either be the UDN's candidate for 1965 elections, or if Quadros has more Influence than Lott, and their relationship is hostile, Lott will resign; if the player successfully completes the event chain, the senate will recognize Quadros as President, if not, 100 days crisis will occur. In his tree, he withdraws Brazil from the South African War, And pushes Brazil away from the OFN.

## Trivia

* Quadros' visit to China as Vice-President gets criticized by left-wingers, mirroring when left-wing President João Goulart visited China in real life, which got him criticized by right-wingers.
* Currently, Quadros has over 10 unique and unused portraits in the mod's files.
Italian Socialist Party

The **Italian Socialist Party** (Italian: *Partito Socialista Italiano*) is an underground political organization in the Italian Empire led by Pietro Nenni. Despite being banned by Benito Mussolini in 1944, they have continued to operate in resistance to the fascist government. If King Umberto II restores liberal democracy, they come out of hiding to participate in politics, seeking to further expand democracy, communise the economy in various ways and further worker's rights without dismantling capitalism itself.
Johannes Steinhoff

One of the highest scoring Luftwaffe pilots of the Second World War, **Johannes Steinhof** served over Britain during Operation Sea Lion before being transferred to the Eastern Front until the end of the war. His decorated combat history led him to be picked as a test pilot for the newly developed Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighter shortly after the end of the war. Despite his formidable skill in the air, an accident on the ground led to the fuel tanks of his Me 262 bursting into flames, the munitions on board detonating as well. **Steinhoff** was barely able to drag himself out of the burning aircraft, clinging to life and severely disfigured. However, he managed to survive and, after spending several years in the hospital to undergo reconstructive surgery, rejoined the Luftwaffe as an officer and instructor in the late 40's.

By 1962, Steinhof had risen to the rank of Generalleutnant, becoming one of the most influential figures in the German Luftwaffe. During his tenure as an officer and instructor, he placed a strict focus on pilot training, which led to a notable decrease in the air force's accident rate. He aligned himself with Hermann Göring during the German Civil War, due to his longstanding position as Supreme Commander of the Luftwaffe. Unfortunately for him, Göring's bid for the Führership failed, leaving **Steinhof**f as one of the highest ranking Luftwaffe officers remaining at the war's end. As Germany's internal power struggle continues, he and his remaining consolidated Luftwaffe forces are stranded in and around Regensburg, surrounded by vicious and bloodthirsty SS warlords. With fuel and supplies limited, and the local air bases completely overfilled, air missions are only done out of necessity to protect the territory they have carved out for themselves. All they can hope for is survival.

Idel-Ural Free State

**The Idel-Ural Free State** is a pluralist ethnostate unifying the Tatars, Bashkirs and Udmurts, all of whom have suffered greatly under the nightmarish rule of the Mad Regent. Their main enemy is the Ural Purification Zone, led by Yuri Evtukovich. Ethnic Russians living in the Idel-Ural Free State are encouraged to reject their old identities and assimilate into a more "moral" ethnicity. Like the Christian Republic of Samara, the I.U.F.S is rather cynical, believing that Russians will join another oppressor against the other ethnic groups in Russia. While they consist of Uralic peoples with barely any representation given to the Russians, they are nothing compared to their counterpart in Kazakhstan, the Kazakh Purification Army. Despite their dreams of restoring old cultures before Taboritsky's rise to power, it's implied that the damage has already been done. Many of the ethnic minorities' scholars and literate men were executed by Taboritsky's men, the few educated men left struggle to teach the rest of their people, cultural works were destroyed, and everyone is too traumatized to build the motivation to study. Ultimately, Taboritsky has inflicted long-term damage on their cultures, and it will take decades before it can heal, if at all.
Imperial Mercantile Consortium

### Common name

Vologda (Вологда), Imperial Mercantile Consortium (Имперский Товарный Консорциум)

### Government/party

Imperial Mercantile Consortium (Имперский Торговый Консорциум)

### Head of state

Nikolay Talberg

The ensuing chaos in the aftermath of Taboritsky's death has allowed the slavery-based megacorps he created to gain de facto independence from the dying HRE.

The Consortium is ruled by a collection of corporations that enslave countless Russians. They are a cowardly state, cutting ties with the HRE at the first sign of trouble, despite it being Taboritsky who is responsible for the creation of the state, as it would give Alexei a financial boost once he eventually came back to Russia. They also backed away from the HRE, because they believed it was better and overall more efficient to just work the slaves to death rather than shoot them on the spot. The Consortium is both unwilling and unable to dismantle or reform the ridiculously inefficient and wasteful slavery-based nature of the post-HRE economy, thus dooming any long-term sustainability for their enterprise.
Jeane Kirkpatrick

Jeane Kirkpatrick is an American politician and a member of the Democratic Party. She is a potential 1972 presidential candidate.

Her political platform stresses opposition to the Greater Germanic Reich and the Empire of Japan, preaching pragmatism in foreign policy to best curtail the influence of rival powers. Her presidency will primarily be focused on aggressive foreign policy, willing to destabilize, coup and invade other countries to win the Cold War.

## Biography

*As President*: Many less liberal-minded politicians once presumed a woman to be too soft to hold the office of President— too weakened by feminine tenderness. Now, the fools and doubters line up out of respect and fear to Jeane Duane Kirkpatrick: a woman with a heart of steel and a mind for politics. One of the founding members of the modern Far Right Wing, Kirkpatrick was rocketed to the political spotlight as the Oil Crisis grew in intensity. With her mastery of geopolitics and unbreakable resolve, the Presidency was relatively easy to win. Now, as President, she advocates what is being called the "Kirkpatrick Doctrine": a geopolitical precept that America should support friendly dictatorships in order to prevent the spread of Nazi totalitarianism. While this concept has drawn ire from many, few doubt its effectiveness in achieving its goal.

Originally from Oklahoma, Kirkpatrick studied at Columbia University while a member of the "Young People's Socialist League", the youth wing of the Socialist Party of America. While continuing to study political science at Columbia, she became less and less enthralled with socialist maxims, eventually deciding that socialism required a fundamental change in human nature to succeed. Over many years, her conservative values grew while others withered, until all that remained was cold, hard, pragmatism. After completing her PhD in 1968, Kirkpatrick became an extremely outspoken member of the Far Right, with her focus on foreign policy playing a major role in the rebranding of the group since the end of the Civil Rights debate.

Now, the practical, calculating woman of iron sits in the Oval Office, slowly hammering a soft nation into a creature as unyielding as she is. If she has her way the Central Intelligence Agency budget will skyrocket, as will the number of pro-American third world dictatorships. The chaotic winds of the world, whether through words or through swords, shall be rent into an order that respects and fears the United States of America.

Free Kazakh Clans

### Government/party

People's Democratic Party of Kazakhstan (Қазақстанның халықтық-демократиялық партиясы/ҚХДП)

### Head of state

Sultanakhmet Kozhikov

The **Free Kazakh Clans** are a post-Midnight warlord state. When formed, it borders Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan to the south, Xinjiang and the Central Eurasian Republic to the east, the Brotherhood of Cain, the Redeemed Black League, the Chelyabinsk Institute, and the Trans-Ural Confederation to the north, and the Kazakh Purification Army and the Revolutionary Communes of Orenburg to the west. They're one of the most moral warlord states in the After Midnight scenario, though various events establish that they have a fully capable fighting force trained by Kazakh military veterans, preparing them for any external threats like the Kazakh Purification Army. Despite having endured beyond horrendous treatment, the unification event for the Free Republic of Kazakhstan details how they triumphed despite facing extinction. Furthermore, and unlike the Purified State, they were able to overcome the anger and dismiss any notion of revenge, instead genuinely wishing to reform under a unified and free Kazakh republic. Having endured Taboritsky's insane reign together, some bands of surviving Kazakhs and Russians have forged a deep bond with each other and driven them to work together in the new nomadic lifestyle they share. However, the game also notes that not all Kazakh clans are friendly to the Russians, whom are in an uncertain future of whether they will be accepted or not. Despite this, there is also hope that the two ethnic groups can reconcile their differences with each other until they become indistinguishable and can live in harmony. With both Kazakhstan and Russia itself destroyed, those Kazakhs outside of any other authorities have coalesced around their shared heritage and the desire to simply survive, building a loose confederation of towns and villages based on mutual aid and defense.

Jean-Louis Tixier-Vignancour

**Jean-Louis Tixier-Vignancour** (born 12th October 1907) is the current prime minister of the French State.

## Early Life and WWII

Jean-Louis quickly joined French politics by joining the monarchist French Action. As a member of parliament for the sub-Pyrenees, he advocated extreme right-wing views. After the Third Reich invaded France, he lent his support to Marshal Pétain and became a deputy minister. His job was to censor films that hit the Germans.

## Vichy France

After the Marshal's death and Charles Huntziger's seizure of power, Tixier-Vignancour was appointed prime minister because he knew how to unite the divided Rally for the National Revolution. As prime minister, he had to sign many disarmament treaties hitting France and recognize the Burgundian State.

## Private life

Jean-Louis Tixier-Vignancour is the godfather of Jean-Marie Le Pen's daughter Caroline.
Jure Francetić

**Jure Francetić** is the leader of the Croatian Clerical Fascist and National Socialist political and paramilitary movement Ustaše, which is currently active within the Kingdom of Croatia. The Ustaše can potentially rise up and take over the Croatian government and enter conflict with the Italian Empire, a war which they will lose. Should they not usurp the monarchy, Josip Broz Tito's Yugoslav partisans will do so instead.
John W. McCormack

**John W. McCormack** (born 21st December 1891) is an American politician who is currently serving as speaker of the House of Representatives.

## In game

McCormack becomes President after Richard Nixon resigns and John F. Kennedy is assassinated. As he has no interest in the presidency, he will not run for re-election. His focus tree largely focuses on maintaining the United States until the victor of the 1964 elections (either Robert F. Kennedy, George Wallace, Wallace F. Bennett or Lyndon B. Johnson) is sworn in. President McCormack can either distance from Nixon's legacy or attempt to rehabilitate it.

## In-Game Description (Speaker)

Melvin Laird is a respected congressman from Wisconsin, having served in Congress since 1953 as a member of the House Appropriations Committee specializing in defense budget and procurement issues. Though well-versed in defense affairs - advocating for a gradual reorientation of American force structure to support a defensive posture with OFN allies - Laird continually fights to defend his portfolio against Nixon's Secretary of the Treasury, Robert Mc Namara, who pushes for a more statistical and results-driven approach to a more assertive defense policy.

Finding his own position in question in the Nixon administration and with his talents increasingly used purely for Congressional affairs, Laird has expressed his desire to run again for the House of Representatives in 1964, potentially setting up a race to succeed him in the Nixon Administration.

## In-Game Description (President)

For most presidents, their inauguration is the culmination of years of political ambition and success, bringing them to the highest office in the land and a chance to ultimately shape the nation to their ideals.

Former Speaker of the House John McCormack is not one such President. Rushed out of Congress and into the White House on a day of panic and blood, he is faced with a nation in turmoil. Outrage over President Nixon's actions on civil rights has shattered any semblance of political decorum in Congress, with constant shouting matches taking more time than legislation. The people have made their voice heard as well, with riots and protests breaking out weekly and voters changing their registration to support the radicals of the National Progressive Pact.

McCormack has isolated himself in the White House, only speaking to trusted aides and friends on the matters affecting the nation and leaving his deputies to calm the turbulent waters America is headed for. Facing a party in crisis, the divisive issue of segregation, and the rapidly escalating war in South Africa, the reluctant president's next days in office will change the nation's direction for years to come.

## Trivia

Much like in the mod, McCormack was the speaker of the house, serving from 1962 to 1971, but never became president.
Harry Truman

**Harry S. Truman** is an American politician and member of the Democratic Party. He is a Senator from missouri who Went after the Democratic Nomination for President four times before retiring from the Senate in 1964. All Unsuccessful, he campaigned on a Hardliner Anti-Nazi Platform and for Universal Healthcare. Which inspires LBJ's attempts to introduce Universal Health Care. He can be appointed Secretary of State should Philip Hart win the 1968 Presidential election. If made Secretary of State he will attempt to make the OFN stronger and Stand up to Nazi Germany. Despite being secretary of state, most foreign policy power is given to Henry Kissinger and he is kept out of the loop on negotiations with japan, only learning about it when the Pacific transit Treaty is brought before the Senate. He can die early if he is overworked in Harts path and Henry Kissinger will become Foreign Secretary.

## Trivia

In real-life, Truman was the vice president of Franklin D. Roosevelt during the latter's fourth term, replacing Henry A. Wallace. After Roosevelt died on April 12, 1945, Truman was sworn in to office, and he served out the rest of Roosevelt's term, and won re-election in 1948, defeating Dewey (which, among other things, created the infamous "Dewey Defeats Truman" headline.
Ivan Zavoloko

**Ivan Zavoloko** is the leader of Oyrotia, a small warlord state in the central Siberian region. He is an Old Believer, this not only reflects in Oyrotia's flag, but also in some of his policies. His patient attention to detail and great empathy with citizens small and great has made him the one leader, both Bukharinists and Old Believers will follow.
Hồ Chí Minh

**Hồ Chí Minh** (born **Nguyễn Sinh Cung** on May 19, 1890), also known as **Nguyễn Tất Thành**, **Nguyễn Ái Quốc**, **Bác Hồ**, or simply **Bác** is a Vietnamese Communist revolutionary and is the leader of the Việt Minh fighting against Japanese rule in Vietnam.

## Biography

The man called Ho Chí Minh by the world has been known as Nguyen Sinh Cung and Bác Ho - "Uncle Ho" - in addition to something between fifty and two-hundred other pseudonyms. Virtually nothing is known about his life other than that he was born in Central Vietnam in 1890, and that he was trained in Marxist politics in France and Russia. He is, however, known and grudgingly respected by all Vietnamese - even his enemies - as a polyglot and a competent poet, whose poems in the Chu Hán and Chu Quoc Ngu scripts make for easy reading and listening for nearly the whole realm.

Now, on the other hand, they know something more about him than before. After more than two decades of struggle, first against the French, then against the Vichy French, and at last against the Japanese - all the same breed of imperialists, Ho knew quite well - Ho has at last succeeded. Having thrown Bao Dai and his assorted fellow Japanese sycophants out by the seat of their pants, he is one of the first communists to break the grip of the supposedly undefeatable Greater East-Asian Sphere.

Now, with Vietnam increasingly united behind him, the new President, sensing that he does not have too long left to live, gets to work to build the ideal country for the Vietnamese people: an agrarian state predicated upon the tenets of Communism. He knows that his nation is surrounded by enemies, reactionaries afraid of the enlightenment he has brought his people spreading and toppling them. But let them all beware - if they attack his nation, he and the Viet Cong that defeated the Japanese once are more than capable of making Vietnam's enemies pay terribly in blood and misery again.
Jane Birdwood

The portrait of Jane Birdwood

### Role

Minister of Education and Science and potential Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom of Great Britain

### Born

18 May 1913 (Age 48)
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

### Political alignment

British Fascist

**Jane Birdwood, 2nd Baroness Birdwood** (born May 18, 1913) is the current Minister of Education and Science of the United Kingdom of Great Britain.

## Biography

*As Foreign Secretary*:
If Jane Birdwood could be defined by a single thing, it would undeniably be hatred. Hatred of everything and anything foreign, specifically, non-white. An eccentric figure even by the BPP's standards, typified in her unorthodox choice in spectacles, she nonetheless rapidly rose through the Party hierarchy thanks to a talent for organisation and propaganda before being elected as an MP in 1953.

An aristocratic socialite, Birdwood found the Ideologues a gang of uncouth ruffians and the Pragmatists to be weak Jewish puppets, being one of the few to join the ranks of the Old Guard after The War. As such, she was a natural choice for Lord Portsmouth's Foreign Secretary, a zealous inner conviction in British Fascism mixing with a polite and cultured exterior. And with her being several decades younger than the Old Guard’s current leadership, many wonder if someday soon, this odd propagandist might be more than just the Foreign Secretary.

## In-game

Lady Birdwood can become Foreign Secretary if the Earl of Portsmouth (Gerard Wallop) becomes Prime Minister and takes up the mantle of leading the British People's Party's Old Guard faction.
