In this video titled EU4 A to Z - Can I MAKE EVERYONE COMMUNIST As Dithmarschen I do a playthrough as Dithmarschen in Europa Universalis 4 1.33 France. This is the series titled A to Z where I attempt to play every* nation in EU4 in alphabetical order. Of course I had to remove some nations so the challenge doesn't get too boring. In this video I play as the nation of Dithmarschen , and I attempt to enforce the Peasants Republic government form on 10 nations, basically making the communist while at the same time trying to form Italy. So let's see if I managed to do it! I hope you guys enjoy this series. If you enjoyed this video consider leaving a like and subscribing for more content in the future.

If too many Provences are owned by peasants republics the emperor won’t have the option to crush the rebellion. The peasant republic CB is against any monarchy in the hre. Some pit falls I had was Austria demanding unlawful territory constantly even if I’m at war. I didn’t expect this so my hre vassals had low opinion of me, taking parliament without revoking some estate privileges first so I was unable to revoke privileges.

To be honest a peasants republic isn't really communism as the farmers and populace still have private property. You can even see this in eu4 with Dithmarschen having the burgher estate. I would day that a peasants republic is more akin to an anarcho-capitalist or general market anarchist society.

Dithmarschen casually making a wall between western and eastern Germany and then realising in their true heart that they need to create an italian dream, an Italy that is truly free from religion and governance and finally embrace italian identity 👀
