Challenge: América demilitarizada -Play as Costa Rica -Annex all of North America and the Caribbean islands (British posessions are optional) -You must have good relations with Panama (must return them the canal from the US), Uruguay and Switzerland -You can proclaim United States of Central America if you want -At the end of the run you must be democratic and get rid of all the millitary, all of it. Also you must have all your people to be as educated as possible. Context: Costa Rica is a country that after a civil war in 1948 banned its millitary and it's proud of it (although in the game it has no millitary since 1936). It has pretty good relations with Panama (a country that doesn't have an army either) and Uruguay (alongside Costa Rica they're known as the Switzerlands of Latinamerica). The UK has been one of Costa Rica's best friends of all time, that's why you don't really have to annex Canada, Belize, Jamaica, etc.

[@AgaresOaks]

Outside of Africa, if you're at the 80% compliance needed for a collab government, there's no real point to using it. At that level of compliance you're getting 85%+ of the factories and 90%+ resources so for places that already have factories and resources the only point would be for the manpower. (also quick tip if you wanna reduce your garrison requirements: a single cav battalion division is a better template than any infantry template and because garrisons can have fractional divisions, one battalion is plenty unless you have MP support)

[@forlegalreasonsthatwasajok7608]

Honestly taureor play whatever you want I'll watch it anyways

[@TheArklyte]

It's just mean at this point to fight USSR and Italy, who still have their vanilla focus trees. So, does that mean that german Reichkomissariat focuses are useful now? Can you get compliance/collaboration government out of pieces of your puppet?(for example USSR is 15 puppets from get go). You forgot that generic focus also has 2 dockyards for anybody with a shoreline. They're less likely to do that one before army and airforce, but in the long run they will. And for someone it may allow to finally break the spine of US naval industry in the long game.
