Dreams of a White Russian Victory

Welcome to Dreams of a White Russian Victory! I hope you all have as much fun playing my mod as I had making it!

If you're like me, you've become very bored with the stagnant Soviet Union focus tree in the base game. All of this time and you still can only go communist? Although there have already been some mods that have addressed this issue, I felt that some lacked the depth I desired. Russia, the largest country on Earth, should have the largest focus tree in HoI4! So, I created one with a focus tree larger than any in vanilla, including the gigantic Spanish one. Additionally, I will be releasing focus trees for Finland, Belarus, Ukraine, Mongolia, and Poland.

I'm personally a big fan of roleplaying games, and I decided to add in an experiment to the mod as well. One of the paths for Russia features some lite rpg mechanics, such as attributes and skills for the country leader, which you can upgrade in the decisions tabs. Don't like the sound of that? That's okay! These mechanics are only found in Anastasia's path, the other 9 are your standard HoI4 affair. If people really like it, I will expand further upon this experiment.

In this alternative history scenario, General Pyotr Wrangel took charge of the White Russian Army during the Russian Civil War far sooner than he did historically, leading them to victory over the Bolshevik Red Army. Since then, he has ruled as the Supreme Leader of Russia at the head of a military junta. To preserve the hard fought peace, he did not attempt to conquer Ukraine, Finland, or any of the other breakaway states. Instead, he formed the faction known as The Pact of Petrograd, whose members include Ukraine, Belarus, Finland, Mongolia, and Tannu Tuva. This eastern bloc is similar to the modern day EU or NATO, where each member state pledges to defend one another and allow close economic cooperation.

However, even with the communists defeated, things are not well in this new Russia. A Bolshevik insurgency has hampered the junta the entire time, leading to economic stagnation, and nobles and generals rule over their own petty fiefdoms at the expense of the common man. It is becoming clearer every day that significant change must come to Russia, lest it collapse into another civil war.

Additionally, in this alternate universe, Anastasia Romanova, the daughter of Tsar Nicholas II, manages to survive the execution of her family. She has been living in hiding ever since, fearful of being caught by the Bolsheviks who want her dead. The path to find her is only somewhat hidden, but if you do find her, you are able to seat her as a constitutional monarch on the throne of the Russian Empire!

In the 1920's, the Finnish Republic was overthrown in a coup by a nationalist organization, the Lapua Movement, helmed by Field Marshal Carl Gustav Mannerheim. Since then, Finland has drawn closer to the Russian Sphere due to the similarities between Mannerheim's and Supreme Leader Wrangel's political and world views. However, Republican movements have been gaining steam, demanding that Mannerheim and his Lapua Movement step down and hold elections. Even in the conservative camp there have been rumblings for the creation of a Finnish Monarchy. Mannerheim's hold on power grows more tenuous with every passing day...

Some of the options available to Finland are: 1) become a Kingdom with a Finnish, German, or Swedish King, 2) bring back the Republic under a conservative or liberal government, 3) become a Soviet Republic and bring communism to the rest of Scandinavia and Europe, or 4) unite with Sweden to recreate the Swedish Empire or form a new nation, the United Kingdoms of Sweden-Finland.

**Please note that this lore is not all of it in its entirety. As I develop Ukraine, Belarus, Finland, and Mongolia, more lore will be added and fleshed out.

Did you enjoy my mod? Want to see what I have planned next? I'd love to have some more playtesters while I continue expanding this mod!

-Doesn't need any DLC to function.
-Not compatible with MOST country mods. Although only a few countries are getting massive overhauls in the mod, there have been many minor changes to other countries. You might be able to get it to work, but I make no promises.
-I strongly advise against using any mod that changes states.
-No, this is NOT Road to 56 compatible. Sorry :(

-The country tag for Russia is RUS.
-Make sure to carefully read all blue text found under national focuses, decisions, etc. Keep an eye out for unlocked decisions that will help you out!
-If you find the scenario too easy or too hard, remember that Paradox was kind enough to give us difficulty settings. You can't get achievements with this mod on anyways, so you might as well turn up or turn down the difficulty to suit your preference.
