The World Wars were monumental events, and trying to predict the next one is a popular concept in historical and geopoltical spheres. Today though, we did something different, instead attempting to parallel WW2 into the modern day, as a work of fiction for the sake of fun, rather than as an attempt to actually predict something.

This is a very creative idea. The way the players connect between real history and this allegory is pretty clever. The most obvious ones are, of course: China - Third Reich Russia - Fascist Italy Iran - Imperial Japan Japan - Great Britain South Korea - France USA - USA India - USSR The less obvious, but still easy to connect are: Afghanistan - Korea North Korea - Vichy France Pakistan - Finland Arabia - China Israel - Philippines Stanistan - Yugoslavia Taiwan - Austria Iraq - Manchuria Bhutan - Czechoslovakia Nepal - Poland Ukraine - Ethiopia Belarus - Albania But these, the ones that require a bit of thought to connect, are very clever: Europe - Africa Finland and Scandinavia - Greece Myanmar - Romania Thailand - Hungary Southeastern Asian states- Norway and Denmark Uzbekistan - Croatia Kazakhstan - Serbia Uyghuria - Israel Mongolia - Switzerland Kaliningrad - Libya Russian unsuccessful attack of Moldova and Georgia - Italian unsuccessful advance in North Africa Caucasia - Bulgaria

A reenactment of WWI would actually go really well in the modern day actually since most countries would fit very well too For example: US: British empire (Both were the most powerful country, have great naval supremacy) China: German empire (New superpower, authoritarian, new leader is more aggressive than the previous leader to the point that the new leader fires the old leader) EU: US (isolationist but somewhat align to US/Britain) India: Russian Empire (most populous nation, somewhat of a rival with China/Germany that is seen as going to eclipse China/Germany) Japan: France (expansionist during WWII/Napoleonic war and hated by US/Britain in the past, but now is an ally of US/Britain, and is an arch enemy of China/Germany) Russia: Austria-Hungary (Known to be the "sick man of Europe", was a powerful nation in the past but now a junior partner of China/Germany)

An autocratic regime (Putin and olygarchists instead of the Tzar and the monarchists), an opressed and depressed population by the regime, having invading first in their front (Germany and Austria-Hungary in WWI, and Ukraine now) but then being defeated and forced to leave (Austro - German invasion of Russia in the eastern front in WWI, and Russian forces retreating from northern Ukraine now) and small loyal allies (Serbia and Romania in WWI, Belarus and Kazakstan now) and finally, something that it's still left, but that can be possible in a near future, a Revolution from the opressed population against the regime (February and October revolutions back in WWI, and possibly if russian population is brave enough, a rebelion against Putin regime in a near future.)

Paraguay - Imperial Federation?

[@Yusif1of1.]

One thing, Saudi Arabia’s capital would not become Medina Or Makkah, because in the Islamic religion, it is forbidden to make Medina or Makkah a capital of a nation, due to the fact that it would be bringing war to the holy cities, and the fact that only Muslims are allowed to enter the city, so diplomacy would be extremely difficult.

Extended Timeline (Feel free to bounce off of this in the replies y'all): Bhutan would eventually split into two countries: Bhu, and Tan. Russian Caucasus and Siberia would gain independence. Ukraine would get some of Russias Caucasian land, but it would eventually rebel and gain independence. Iran would cede Qeshm Island to India, which secures Indias access to the Persian Gulf.

We will fight them in the mountains we will fight them on the baseball fields. We will fight them in the massage parlors. We will NEVER surrender. I don't know much about the current Japanese prime minister although he seems more like a Neville Chamberlain type, but it's a Pity that the Japanese Akita, Shinzo Abe, got taken out in real life.. I would see him being more like Winston Churchill... Not sure if Kim dae-jung is still in power in South Korea but out of all of them sounds the most like DeGaulle.

I still cant get what Europe was supposed to be. My best guess is Greece. Edit: Europe was North Africa, it all makes sense now! Also, as a Croat i think its funny that Croatia got paralled to Uzbekistan.

[@chimichangas365]

Probably it was North Africa, which the arrival of America parallels Op. Torch, while the invasion of Russia parallels the invasion of Italy which was also mostly split into two during the fall of Italy.

[@francogiobbimontesanti3826]

Finland was Greece, Europe was North Africa.

[@matthewslentz5481]

I think this video was really neat, and very creative. I would have liked to see some more parallels for the Iranians/Japanese. The "Germans" and "Italians" got alot of semi-niche coverage, such as "Putin's" rescue from prison. But America's island hopping campaign barely got a mention except for the Kurdistan/Okinawa comparison, and there was no equivalence for the Ichi-Go offensive. Maybe as an alternative, have Iran conduct a surprise attack on Diego-Garcia to destroy American and British naval installations on the island, and conduct a massive naval invasion along the African coast, Madagascar, and the other island chains of the western Indian ocean. Then as America leads naval invasions of the Comoros islands, Madagascar, and Seychelles, Iran realizes it cannot either extract resources from its African holdings, or reinforce them by sea. So Iran launches a last ditch effort against the Arabian League to break across the Suez and down the Nile to link up mainland Iran with it's East African holdings. Just an idea

Funny thing is that among the 2. It's the Pakistanis who have a open to interpretation nuclear policy and a nuclear arsenal of a more tactical nature. Whereas India has said multiple times that its only maintaining a credible minimum yet affective deterrence as a second strike capability and having its arsenal be mostly of strategic nature. Also India is the only one who has shown any anti ballistic capabilities. Also unlike the Soviet troops before the ww2.. The Indian troops have actually performed well (being the largest volunteer force and not a conscripted army) and when it came to important wars actually outperformed the Pak army. *also Modi is a Prime Minister.
