Technically, Slovenia and Croatia didn't gain their independence until the late '70s, when Prussia annexed Austria. It was one of those things that was decided hastily in the timeskip though, and it's not really important. I am not sure why we went with Austria still having Slovenia and Croatia into the '70s, but I think it had something to do with the maps showing that they were still Austrian for whatever reason, so when I had Prussia annex Austria in the timeskip, I mentioned that Slovenia and Croatia were granted their independence. That said, I am willing to accept this change if Aaron doesn't have any problems with it. All I ask is that Prussian relations with Slovene-Croatia are good.

@Pepperm1nts

I guess it makes more sense if they left earlier. And if Duck's good and that's your only issue Stale is clear for rejoining.

<Snipped quote by Dinh AaronMk> Alright, all of this is fair and good. On the matter of the Great Depression, I assumed it never happened not because I didn't see any mention of it, but because I didn't see any major effects surrounding it. I did not see any major wars, revolutions, or extreme changes that one would expect to result from economic hardship, such as the rise of fascism in Europe after the Great Depression irl. There was quite a lot of mention of these changes in post-war economies like Britain and France, but that was a result of the huge war that had struck the nations, not the depressed trough out of recurring booms and recessions.

@Space Communist

Well the thing is you could argue that there was a lot of change across the world as an effect of the Depression. In the lore summaries the US suffered economic insecurity and political swings well into the fifties. Likewise the UK collapsed politically with people over throwing the monarchy, this lending in to a lot of far-right folks moving into Canada and turning them into a sort of quasi-fascist regime. And Serbia is fascist as well and Germany flipped from a Republic post-war and is again a monarchy because the Republic was too weak. The reason why fascism hasn't become a thing is that there wasn't any big concentrated failure on anyone like Germany in the RL inter-war years that gave the Nazi party any reason to come around. And Italy was swept over by the Ottomans before Fascists could really come to anything.

At the same time thought there is nationalism and refugees immigrating from Europe would have emigrated back when things got better. After all, there are people who lived posh, well educated lives here returning to Somalia because they feel they should be there.

Alright Revan, Byrd got back from his second shift and we were able to go through it. Firstly: The depression of the twenties would have still been a thing from America. American over-mass production coupled with the end of the Great War would have caused the world economy to pop like a bubble, more so than it did. And if the US in its current lore had wide-spread economic troubles than Mexico for sure could not have weathered the economic storm with only a few recessions along the way. They would have suffered in the post-war years with everyone, trying to stay afloat in a market flooded with resources and materials intended for use in Europe and the battle front. But with no more war all those raw materials and other supplies joined an over abundance of everything to further crash the world's banks. So no, you can't have weathered economic depressions. Mexico can still be a decent economy, but not the regional best when dealing with America. This carries to second point sort of, where Mexico then shouldn't be strong enough to deal with Florida. But it wasn't really Florida, it was the deep south in general. Byrd made the point to say as well that Mexico involving itself in US affairs would be an invitation for the US to later involve itself in Mexican affairs more seriously. It's not really a thing nations do. Not to mention they wouldn't really be a big enough power to make anything out of it. So none of that. Of minor note too was the Catholic uprising. Byrd's fine with the American involvement as it is. Though he also added that they probably would have carried out minor expeditions into Mexico like they did when chasing down Pancho Villa. But it wouldn't have been serious. And as a reminder: Mexico joined the Third International alongside the US. Although the US got kicked out for annexing the Cascades territory Mexico remains. Just a something. This was also carried out in witness by Mihn. The post-war depression bit is about old enough now to not matter in the current time-frame. But if it's going to factor in the application then it needs to come up.
