<Snipped quote by Zoldyck>

Eisenkreis-Kzechverin is a highly nationalist state, unified by cultures shared between the two regions. Granted, they may not be as extreme as fascism, but they still look to their own traditions and cultures before any others.

Well, if you were highly natinalist then you would be in a perpetual civil war, you having 20+ cultures and all :P Just kidding, I know what you mean and that's good, now we have a pariah for the world's evil... I mean a very friendly nation... *cough*

Wouldn't the conditions for Communism have been brought forwards in this NRP? I mean, given the discovery of blue coal and the radical industrialisation that's gone on? Just trying to remember, but Communism in Russia was largely supported by industrial workers wasn't it? And not so much by the rural peoples. 

That's just my thought on it in any case. Don't bundle me.

Communism in Russia was only possible due to the great poverty and loss of lives WW1 caused in Russia, not due to rapid industialisation because else it would have happened in the 1870's when industrialisation was really kicking it up a notch.

And lets not forget that communism in China got caused by farmers instead of factory workers. And back in Russia the reason why the revolution succeeded was because the army supported the Bolshevieks... The army and Germany.
