Ethiopia makes jets, too, but it's a playing card stuck in their one biplane's propeller.

Instead of breaking the sound barrier, we just have the pilot shout "Boom" over a megaphone.

Hungary's airforce is so poor that they can't even afford to use real flies.

What he means is we do not have jet technology beyond a few experimental craft in superpower nations.

When it comes to expansion, make sure your reasons make sense. The Serbia to Yugoslav plan has potential - It fits with western Slavic nationalism and how it has played out in the past. Hungary could theoretically claim Transylvania due to the large Hungarian population there... but it would be difficult.

I would be fine with there being crazy wars all over the Balkans, but none of us want to see simple cut-and-dry expansion. No "Sir, we have invaded their borders and they have retreated and surrendered and we are awesome and perfect and winning." A Balkans war should be bloody - it should tear you up more than it helps you. Prolonged sieges, ethnic violence, terrorism - that is what we should be seeing. Make your wars stalemates without signs of ending. If you do that, it can work.

Ethiopia/Pan-Africa isn't quite a superpower. That is one of those situations where I am active enough that it makes Pan-Africa/Ethiopia one of the more important places in the story, but that doesn't necessarily translate to political power. The defining feature of a superpower - the ability to project power - is completely absent in Ethiopia, which at this point doesn't even have a formidable navy anymore.

China and Spain are the superpowers - both have shown as much by projecting power across the globe. China has interfered in the Americas, Russia, and as far away as the North Sea. Spain has interfered in the Americas and has fought for influence in the middle east. At this point, those two nations represent the ying and yang of the RP - capitalism versus communism, colonialism vs self-determination, western culture vs native culture, etc.

...and there is no USSA. We nixed that. It is just the USA again.

The Gods are Crazy

So it would sound kind of like "All hail King Wiz!"

Seems to be the best reference I can find for placing those ethnicities...

That being said, I think Turkestan is a good choice for name. A little broader in scope, and we've used it interchangeably with Kazakhstan anyway.

The Chinese aren't know for respecting the sovereignty of their sphere in this RP, so communist aligned comes with as much baggage as being communist, at least from the perspective of . I think the results are the same. Unless the current government is faces with a noticeable change in their relationship, it will retain its stance unless pressured enough by the military or civilian population.

If you can make it make sense, then it is OK. Historically, the possibility of war hasn't discouraged every rebellion ever possibly, after all. Kazak nationalists probably aren't too fond of the Chinese infringing on their sovereignty.

But it isn't going to be too simple. If the Kazaks are democratic, I would suspect their elections are rigged heavily in favor of the Chinese parties, so it would take a military coup or a large scale civilian revolt to change the government. You won't have the current government meeting up and saying "You know what? Let us be anti-communist now." That just doesn't happen.
