    Default Which Country should i play?

    Im playing August Storm, and i cant decide which country to start with. I tried me country, Portugal, but i get incredibly bored, since im far too neutral, and very low leadership+IC. New Zealand the same. Ireland the same.
    I enjoyed the US, but now i want a country that i can have a decent navy/army, and be able to participate in the war.

    Suggestions?
    What makes a real American? A cowboy hat? Enjoying a fine T-bone
    steak? Going to a baseball game? Shooting a gun? Maybe it’s the freedom to go
    into a poor country and tell them how to do things?! Heh! Those are all great
    qualities! But one thing that makes a true patriot is the ability to choose
    an American car! When you buy an import you take a hot meal off a hard
    working American’s table. There, there! This poor girl is going
    to starve to death, just because you bought a cheaper, more efficient
    Maibazu. Without gross symbols of excess, what will Americans have to look up
    to? Our great industries is a threaten! Cars, pornography, armaments! And
    they need your help! So the next time you buy a car, a piece of adult
    literature or a missile defense system! Make sure you do the American thing!

    Either Spanish nation or the Republic of China. If you're interested in navy stuff and don't care about optimal navies, then take a look at my historical navies thread in the main PI forum: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/...s-Naval-Powers. I have every nation listed capable of building its own ships, and what they built during the war and planned to build before the war started.

    For Spain, Franco had three different naval buildup plans. The first two were designed to either counter Italy with the help of France or fight France with the help of Italy, and the last one was mainly for modernization and prestige purposes since Spain wasn't going to enter the war at all. Here are the three historical Plan Imperial versions, taken from the link above:

    Spain, '38 Plan
    •4 battleships
    •4 heavy cruisers
    •2 aircraft carriers
    •12 light cruisers
    •48 destroyers
    •48 "torpederos" (small destroyers)
    •50 submarines

    Spain, '39 Plan (revision of '38 plan)
    •4 battleships
    •2 heavy cruisers
    •12 light cruisers
    •54 destroyers
    •36 "torpederos" (small destroyers)
    •50 submarines
    •100 torpedo boats

    Spain, '43 Plan (revision of the '39 plan)
    •4 battleships
    •4 aircraft carriers
    •8 light cruisers
    •12 "exploradores" (kind of fast cruisers)
    •72 destroyers
    •36 small destroyers
    •50 submarines
    •100 torpedo and anti-submarine boats

    I can't play Spain nor any Axis. I hate them. I'm thinking Sweden, maybe...

    I tried playing Finland and then Czechoslovakia but it seems my presence itself changed the course of history.

    Portugal was not Axis

    In fact, in none of my games has portugal ever joined the axis.

    Portugal was still Fascist, no matter how you look at it, and by your logic Fascist = Axis, since you're lumping Spain in the Axis camp even though it never joined the Axis. With that logic, every Arabian state, Iran, South Africa, Turkey, Peru, Argentina, and the Republic of China would be Axis too, even though all of those nations joined the Allies

    Anyway, which country did you decide to pick?

    Australia. But im going to give a try at republican spain soon.
    Also have a USA game going, and its fun: The SU declared war on the allies, and started to invade Iran. So me and the brits, after mopping up North Africa are attacking southern russia soon. Moved most of my air force there to assert air control.
