So the union represenstion act is a meta used by the sweatiest of vanilla USA players to get off of great deprsssion in March of 1937, along with a -10%(along with a -5% if you have 100% stability) consumer goods buff so your on total mob by around late 1938 after getting on partial mob (assuming you have 30% war support or more), along with making sure you will always have majority support in congress ​ so the first three focuses are normal. Continue the new deal, WPA, then Agriculture adjustment act. remember its 230 days until you can do the fair labor standards act use the first 150 pp to get the silent workhorse. save the 150 pp for later Make sure that you support is above 60 senators and 261 representatives by the 5th focus. then do suspend the persecution, right after that use the 150 pp for the communist revolutionary then do worker representation act, you will need 60 senators and 261 representatives for this. You get the event which I forget its name, and you get two choices: One Which says "We must end this bloodshed, or something like that, and the other says we must not bow down to the mob Pick the *we must end this bloodshed* or the civil war will start being prepared Then do the accumulated wealth tax act, which requires the same support, but that's fine, because the worker representation act gives you a majority on congress which you can regain for the 50pp design called "reshuffle congress" The Accumulated wealth tax act will give you a -5% consumer goods spirit and reduce the Great Depression from "slow recovery" to "slow economic growth" ​ Then do the "Reach out to the Ware" Group, which you get 3 advisors, one for another -5% consumer goods for 0 pp. Make sure you ban communism after that so you have the 95% democratic support so you can neutrality act After that the path is yours!

[@edwardking9359]

Feels like the US doesn't really have too many alt-history paths that could be credible. Even with the ridiculousness of the German Kaiser tree, at least that's an ideology that Germany did actually have at one point. Communist America makes a little sense because it was something that was at least talked about as a possibility at one point, albeit as propaganda during the Red Scare. But there's no real chance of, say, a monarchist America, because its been a Republic since it formed

So I actually did try the Communist Chinese one from the first time you did one of these, and it actually went pretty damned well. I was able to reunify the country by 1939 WITH help from Japan (basically, I rebuked Japan over the Marco Pollo Bridge and they declared war on my allies but for some reason I wasn’t called into the war, so one by one I kicked the others out of my faction and took them out) and then...well, let’s just say that when people say “Chinese Treaty Ports” in this timeline, they’re not talking about Hong Kong and Tsingtao, they’re talking about Sicily, Sardinia, and Wilhelmshaven.

I have played democratic, neutral Switzerland. Its very uneventful, but ultimately you do go to war against Germany due their 'Operation Tannenbaum' focus. It took until 1947 for them to take that focus, but by that time I had acquired nukes and was able to drop one on Berlin. Now thats what I called deterrence! I was able to reach 1948 due to my border provinces having complete 10 level forts and me nuking all the advancing German divisions. I was able to get the 'Time is on our side' achievement by playing as neutral Switzerland. It isn't quite as boring as you might think, I was able to lend lease guns to Republican Spain which meant they'd win. And of course the final battle with Germany was very fun seeing Berlin in flames. Highly recommend!
