Hearts of Iron IV "Fictionalization."

[Marco Incognito]

I've brought this idea up a few times but never made it is own discussion. Now I myself am not a modder, so unless someone decides to help make this a reality, I can only speculate. Basically the idea is to create a mod that both includes Fictional Characters into a Hearts of Iron game(other Paradox games could also have this done but World War II would be the most interesting to start in). Fictional Characters can also replace existing figures

Here's a rough list of the Major Powers. Other entries would likely discuss events, individuals and other countries.

Major Powers

Germany

Fascist/Nazi line of succession
Adenoid Hynkel(The Great Dictator)
Heinrich Kemmler(The Dresden Files)
Goring Herring(The Great Dictator)
Vandal Savage(DC Comics)
Johann Schmidt(Marvel Comics)
Wilhelm Strasse(Wolfenstein)

Democratic
Colonel Wilhelm Klink(Hogan's Heroes)

Communist
Jon Frederson(Metropolis).

Monarchy
The Inca of Perusalem

Otto Von Bludiron(Meccania the Super State)

Notes
Hynkel and Herring are the stand in/parodies of Hitler and Goring. Hynkel thus replaces Hitler in all contexts. Adolf Hitler in this Universe moved to America after World War I and became a science Fiction Writer(The Iron Dream), since his disappearance creates a world where the Soviet Union dominates without Nazi Germany to counter it, Hynkel was instead raised by time travellers to fill Hitler's place in history. One event will have a coup replaced Hynkel with a Jewish lookalike which, if not averted or discovered, will naturally lead to a complete political 180 and possibly Nazi Civil War among the members of the party.

Heinrich Kemmler is not just a Himmler stand in, but also a powerful wizard and leader of the Thule Soicety, responsible for many Supernatural Nazi based events like opening a portal to another universe(Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shambhalla), and hunting for ancient artifacts(Indiana Jones series). Given how powerful he is implied to be in the Dresden Files(mentioned as being one of the most powerful sorcerers of all time). As such event surrounding his assassination should have flavoring like being killed by powerful sorcerers like Dumbledore(Harry Potter) or Yen Sid(Fantasia) if Britain or America has him assassinated, or using enchanted weapons. I also see this Kemmler as a composite with the one from Warhammer 40k.

Vandal Savage taking over is based on the Justice League episode "The Savage Time". Since he's immortal, his assassination attempts would also likely get flavoring, such as being presumed dead in an explosion with no body, being sent to another dimension or so on. Though the comic DC One Million revealed that an Atomic Bomb blast will evidently do the trick. Legends of Tomorrow gave another way to possibly kill him.

Johann Schmidt in the comics is implied to have been planning to betray Hitler and in the Movie does so. As such you can't expect Schmidt to remain loyal for long and create a civil war where he leads Hydra.

Strasse is the opposite, based on Heydrich's role in The Man with the Iron Heart, Strasse is prepared to continue fighting even if the War is over.

Colonel Wilhelm Klink leading a democratic Germany, likely in the event of Germany's defeat would do a lot to help explain how characters in crossovers tend to respond warmly to him despite him having been a Nazi. For example an episode in Batman 66' where Batman is friendly towards him and him being Homer Simpson's conscience in an episode of the Simpson's(which indirectly implies he's real when Homer asks if he got his letters and the Conscience says he's not really him, he's just assuming his form, making him make more sense if he's a real person). He could also just have claimed he was in on Hogan's plans and secretly helped them, at the very least him men claimed to "No nothing" of Hogan's actions.

Jon Frederson is a main character from Fritz Lang's Metropolis, which I place in the 1920's rather than the future. So Berlin is much more advanced, though the creator's death meant they couldn't exactly replicate it. Frederson is sympathetic towards a worker's revolution. in this context he helped the Workers overthrow their masters but Hynkel replaced him as the Worker's Party leader(allusion to the Nazi party starting as the Worker's party). So Frederson now hopes to overthrow Hynkel, he just so happens to have Communist views.

The Inca of Perusalem is a George Bernard Shaw novel obviously parodying Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany with the possiblity that the titular "Inca" is not a real Inca.

Given the popular "King under the Mountain" trope, it could be possible to summon Otto Von Bludiron(expy of Otto Von Bismarck from Meccania the Super State, which itself is a stand in for Germany). However i doubt he'd be that powerful and be armed with just Middle ages technology. He'd also likely be tricked into helping the Nazis, and the truth could be revealed, leading to a situation where he returns to power.

Soviet Union

Communism/Leaderism
Fearless Leader(Rocky and Bullwinkle)

Communism/Benderism
Ostap Bender(The Silver Chair

Communism/Antipovism
Pasha Antipov(Dr.Zhivago)

Democracy/Socialism
Grigori Melehkov(And Quiet flows the Don)

Tsarism
Anastasia(Anastasia)
Tsarevich Alexei(Mirror, Mirror)
Natasha Romanova(Marvel Comics)

Fascism
Gregory Arkaddin(Mr.Arkaddin)
Peter Rastov Rasputin(Hellboy/Anastasia)
Koschei the Deathless(Ivan Tsarevich)

Notes
Fearless Leader replaces Stalin, the real Stalin appears as Politician Joe Steele, having been born in America when his father immigrated. His name is either Josef Besstrashnyy or Besstrashny Leaderev when translated. he usurped control of the Soviet Union after the apparent death of Pasha Antipov and forced Bender into exile.

Ostap Bender was Antipov's intended successor and fled to Mexico when Besstrashny took over. He replaces Trotsky.

Antipov in this timeline, formed an alliance with the sorcerer Rasputin and was cursed by him into a Snow White, Sleeping Beauty esque sleep, hence why he is displayed in the way Lenin is OTL. Since he's cursed, it's possible to wake him up and for him to take back control, possibly kicking out the Fearless Leader and unbanishing Bender.

Melehkov is based off two Cossacks who fought against the Bolsheviks, so him falling into opposing Communism just makes sense.

Anastasia's survival is of course taken from both the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical and the Animated Don Bluth film. Should Rasputin be defeated or not be in Russia, and the Communists be overthrown, her return could be arranged(likely due to Rasputin having clouded the minds of the people into turning against the royal family).

Alexei was smuggled to New Zealand in Mirror, Mirror and was also turned into a vampire. However this detail could be hidden and possibly revealed should another Vampire leader like Dracula emerged.

Natasha Romanova, the Black Widow herself in the Comics was a relative of the Romanov's, she would be very young by this time, having just entered Red Room training, but if things improve and Fearless Leader isn't running things, she may become a royal.

Gregory Arkaddin, a weapons dealer based on Stalin, played by Orson Welles.

Rasputin himself, evil undead sorcerer, likely to be killed by Anastasia or the BPRD, will probably be helping out the Germans as in Hellboy.

Koschei the Deathless, a mysthical figure who created the world's first Horcrux, placing his soul in an egg. If someone finds the egg and manages to destroy it, then this will successfully defeat Koschei. Koschei has two enemies, Ivan the Fool, or Ivan Tsarevich, a figure in Russian Fairy tales who here became Ivan the Terrible, and Baba Yaga, who will actually help someone kill Koschei. To add one more reference, Baba Yaga could slaughter a town that displeased her and leave one survivor, a boy named Jardani Jovonich.

United Kingdom

Democracy/Conservatism
Sir George Brown(Vile Bodies)
Davenport Spry(Scarlet Traces)
Severus L.Heppenstall(Death of a Train)
Rupert Catskill(Men Like Gods)
William Bunter(Billy Bunter)
Edmund Blackadder V(Blackadder)

Fascism/Ingsoc
Rudolf Whitlow(The Holy Terror)
Harold Wharton(Billy Bunter)
Gerald O'Brien(1984)
"Big Brother(1984)
Roderick Spode(Jeeves and Wooster)
Everard Webley(Point Counter Point)

King's Party
Edward VIII
George VI
Gloriana II
Anne II(The Avengers)

Communism/Antipovism
Bill Hayden(Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy)
Sir Phillip Kimberly(The Jigsaw Man)
Timothy Hobson(The Guardians/Agent Lavender)

Notes

Not much to say about Brown and Heppenstall.

Spry is a bit more interesting. Scarlet Traces concerns the aftermath of the War of the Worlds and so he's obsessed with invading Mars rather than on Earthly matters. He's meant to be a Neville Chamberlain stand in, except that he ignores the European threat in favor of an offworld threat.

Rupert Catskill is a Churchill stand in from Men Like Gods, which was written before Churchill became Prime Minister.

William Bunter, a character which could also serve as a Churchill analogue.

Edmund Blackadder, because why not? The V is a nod to if we considered all the Blackadders in the series to be related than he would be the 5th.

Whitlow is a Dictator who takes over before he is killed in a coup. Making him the perfect Candidate for Big Brother.

Wharton is canonically Big Brother in the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and could possibly take the role if Whitlow dies.

Emmanuel Goldstein is an unseen(possibly having no photo) figure who apparently helped establish the Ingsoc government before turning traitor and fleeing. However, the Big Brother Government was canonically established in the late 1940's, sometime around 1945 or 1948. So he'd start off working with Ingsoc only to be declared a traitor and flee. He then would either lead a communist revolution(as a parallel to Trotsky and Stalin) or would flee to Israel, since his name is Jewish. He is also tied to wizards here since his name implies a connection to Tina and Queenie Goldstein from Fantastic Beasts.

Gerald O'Brien would possibly brainwash Winston Smith into assassinating Big Brother. Though Big Brother can always simply "live" on his own as a figurehead.

Spode and Webley are both Oswald Moseley analogues, so they'd have to be included.

The Royal family is mostly the same but with different depictions. Edward VIII plays up his Nazi Sympathy views in pop culture. George VI is Colon Firth's King's Speech version. Gloriana and Anne are alternate names for Queen Elizabeth II. This is due to Queen Elizabeth being replaced by Queen Gloriana from The Fairie Queen and Queen Anne being from the Avengers.

King Arthur is another "King in the Mountain" example and is prophecized to return when England needs him. It's possible for Merlin or someone to revive him to charge into battle with Excalibur.

Hayden and Kimberley are both based of Communist spy Kim Philby.

Timothy Hobson is a Prime Minister who in the Guardians, takes over and rules as a fascist. However, him being a Communist spy is a nod to Agent Lavender, in which Prime Minister Harold Wilson(who's tenure Hobson takes), is a communist spy.

I also considered making Snowball and Napoleon from Animal Farm Communist Leaders, but I doubt they'd rise to Prime Minister positions. More likely whoever's in charge of England would have to deal with the Manor Farm crisis.

France
Could use more for this one.

Democracy/Conservatism
Phillip Gerbier(Army of Shadows)
Paul Renault(Casablanca)
Jacque Clouseau(the Pink Panther)
Arsene Lupin

Democracy/Socialism
Eric Claudin(Phantom of the Opera)

Fascism
Fantomas

Notes
Gerbier is based on Jean Cavailles

Paul Renault is currently is now in a Charles De Gaulle type role after resisting the Nazis in Casablanca.

Jacque Clouseau is shown to be an incompetent member of the French resistance in one of the Pink Panther sequels.

Couldn't resist having the Phantom of the Opera himself. I imagine a stylized portrait of Lon Chaney's monster mug.

Fantomas would certainly be an interesting character to feature.

Another idea is reintroducing the Monarchies, either of them, Bonaparte or Orleaniste, though I'm uncertain on how to give it a fictional twist.

USA

Democrat
Peter J.Varney(The Phantom President)
Berzelius Windrip(It Can't Happen Here)
Lee Sarason(It Can't Happen Here)
Joe Steele
Phillip Dru(Phillip Dru-Administrator)
Jefferson Smith(Mr.Smith Goes to Washington)
Craig Stanley(The President Vanishes).
Stephen Wayne(First Lady)
Arthur Hockstader(Best Man)
Mike Thingmaker(Mess Mend)

Republican
Walt Trowbridge(It Can't Happen Here)
Dewey Haik(It Can't Happen Here)
Henry Howell(Kiss Me Kate)
Ted Scott(Ted Scott's Flying Adventures/The Plot Against America)
Walter Winchell(The Plot Against America)
John Lindsay(I am the Law)

CSA
Jake Featherston(Timeline 191)
Doland Partridge(Timeline 191)

Notes
Varney is the starting President, having won in 1932 in this timeline. He is mentioned as having defeated Betty Boop and Rufus Jones, both of which had short films depicting their candidacies. As a reference to an episode of Voyagers! Franklin Delano Roosevelt became a director instead of a Politican, directing Dealer's Choice, this timeline's stand in for the Jazz Singer.

The 1936 election is between Windrip and Trowbridge. Given Windrip's landslide victory in the original story. It is ensured his victory would cause civil war and a split of the country like in Kaiserreich. This causes Jake Featherston to restore the confederacy. Joe Steele and Lee Sarason may also betray. Phillip Dru(who ends a civil war in his own work) can take over to restore order. it could also leader to Steele taking over. Like in It can't Happen Here and Kaiserreich, a Douglas MacArthur stand in steps in to take over, in this case two possible ones. Haik is more willing to take over, while Howell is loyal to the US and will go onto fight Japan rather than attempt to takeover. Craig Stanley is likely a placeholder President. If Windrip is exiled as in the book, he could takeover France if it becomes Fascist or being handed control of it by the Nazis.

The 1940 election is between Stephen Wayne and Ted Scott. Scott is based off Charles Lindbergh, who turns the US Fascist in the Plot against America, though he could end up succeeding Windrip. Scott like Lindbergh in the book could be killed in a plot by the Nazis. Wayne would receive much advice from his advisor and cousin, Bruce Wayne.

The 1944 Election had Walter Winchell in the Plot against America, but also has John Lindsay a stand in for Thomas Dewey.

Hockstader is a Truman analogue. Thingmaker is a communist President and may be overthrown.

If the election comes down to Hockstader vs Lindsay, a nod to the infamous "Dewey beats Truman" will be made, possibly reversed.

Italy

Facist
Benzino Napaloni(The Great Dictator)

Notes
yeah all I got so far. Our Mussolini stand in from the Great Dictator. Although a Footprints of Mussolini reference could be made if an assassination attempt on his life is prevented by a Jewish man, causing him to distance himself from Hitler.

Japan

Fascism
Yoshiro(Command and Conquer)

Notes
Yoshiro is played by George Takei and is based on Emperor Hirohito. He would logically have been alive when Hirohito was as well.

China

Communist
Peng Tse Tung(Shoes of the Fisherman)
Wu Qinghua(Red Detachment of Women)

Nationalist
Chen Zhen(Fists of Fury)

Notes
Peng Tse Tung is our Mao Zedong analogue.

Wu Qinghua's source material is famous for being played in front of Richard Nixon during his visit to China. Something possibly alluded to if a player commands China and ends the game, resulting in a "Distant finale" where Wu Qinghua meets a Nixon Analogue(with the name either being one of three: Ferris F.Fremont(Radio Free Abermouth), Richard Monkton(The Company), or Lex Luthor(Just Because). If Nixon is actually featured Fremont is his birth name but he uses Monkton since the Fs in his name translate to 666 is numbers(fitting since in this timeline he is also the adopted father of Damien Thorn, the Antichrist).

Chen Zhen is difficult to put in given his multiple appearances. He first appeared played by Bruce Lee in Fists of Fury, but has since appeared in other films such as Legend of the Fist, which gave him a Kato costume as a nod to Bruce Lee's role in The Green Hornet tv show. Here if the Chinese Civil War is interrupted, Chen Zhen, a general leading the armies, is captured by the Japanese but saved by Britt Reid and brought over to America. After the war he has two options, he either returns and possibly helps the Nationalists fight the Chinese Civil War, or becomes a Vinewood(Hollywood stand in from Grand Theft Auto) Actor, with a pretty successful career starring in movies like A Fistful of Yen in the epilogue(well aside from that one time he picked a fight with Stunt Double Cliff Booth)

And that is what I have so far for the Major Powers. Let me know what you think. Will put in my ideas for Lesser countries next.

 

[Marco Incognito]

Since this may take awhile. I will do this using the Hearts of Iron IV wiki and address each country and my plans for them.​

Countries and Stand ins(A to B)​

Afghanistan/Helmajistan(Fulmetal Panic).
Albania/Freedonia(Duck Soup)-Headed by Groucho Marx, himself, Rufus T.Firefly, the charismatic leader who seems to talk only in puns, quips and insults, sometimes all at once. He's recently gained the ire of Benzino Napaloni, who wants to assassinate him only for Firefly to convince his own assassins to switch sides. one event has Firefly and his allies flee to America under multiple false identities. Firefly has also recently annexed the nation of Sylvannia Firefly practices his own brand of "Marxism".
Angola/Sangola(Oh Schucks...Here Comes UNTAG)- does not exist as a nation at 1936 start
Argentina/Mandoras(They Saved Hitler's Brain)-No replacement yet, though the "Argentina is Nazi Land" trope is likely to be at play here with all the Fictional Nazi leaders.
Armenia/Dacan(Ministry of Defense Game)-Armenia does not exist as a nation at 1936 start
Australia-Not too many direct references to World War II works planned. Though a few others if we go forward in time. Notable potential future leaders include Prime Minister Sir Les Patterson and Saxton Hale(Team Fortress 2). Australia also naturally becomes Mad Max Land in the Post Apocalyptic setting.
Austria/Osterlich(The Great Dictator).
Azerbaijan/Atropia(Military Exercises) - does not exist as a nation at 1936 start
Belgium/Austrania(The Last Volunteer)- Starting Leader is Hercule Poirot from his own series of books. Another possible leader(likely resistance if Belgium is invaded, otherwise he's a reporter) is Tintin Hild from The Adventures of Tintin.
Bhutan/Kurain(Ace Attorney)
Belarus/Graustark(George Barr McCutcheon Novels)-does not exist as a nation at 1936 start
Bolivia/Miranda(The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie)-Miranda when seen in the source material( in 1972), has strict military, oppressive Leadership and a high murder rate, making it likely either Fascist or Communist. The naming suggests Simon Bolivar was named Simon Miranda in this universe.
Botswana/Botswanga(Le Crocodile du Botswanga)- does not exist as a nation at 1936 start
Brazil-No Replacement yet, though I actually have a plans for Brazil. In addition to being the center for a plot to clone Hynkel(The Boys from Brazil), Brazil is the target for an invasion led by Hugo Danner and his superpowered children(Hercules is a super strong man from the novel Gladiator, but the idea of him leading a Superhuman army of his own children is a plot point in DC Comics, due to the novel being Public Domain). Hugo Danner's army invades Brazil, however the timing is somewhat fortunate as the Race(alien lizards from WorldWar), invade South America and other areas in 1942. Hugo Danner's army picks a fight and basically the two cancel each other out. Whoever wins goes onto become a threat to the rest of the Continent but could also likely be weakened in the aftermath, allowing them to possibly be killed off.
British Raj/India- India in this universe gained its independence following the 1898 Martian invasion. It is now a constitutional monarchy. The long lost Nemo family has returned to it, the original Nemo's daughter, Janni Dakkar, is technically Queen but the Nemo's still prefer to command the seas in their mighty Nautilus submarines, the fleet led be Armand Robur, who is the splitting image of the Classic Captain Nemo appearance. Meanwhile the Prime Minister role is taken by two men, Mowgli Sethi(The Jungle Book), and Sohan Bhai(Our Ghandi Analogue from the novel Happy). Bhai specifically is likely to nuke you, should he gain WMDs. It may also be home to the Midnight Children from the series of the same name, children who were born and gained superpowers when India was declared independence, basically being mutants. You may also have to be weary of a young and seemingly immortal but superhuman being named Khan Noonien Singh.
Bulgaria/Vulgaria(Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) -Ruled by the Bombhurst Dynasty(our analogue to the Habsburgs), The Bombhursts are tyrannical, even sending the much feared Child Catcher to abduct children in the village. This also means the city named Habsburg is renamed to Bombhurst. There should be an award for nuking.

 

[Marco Incognito]

Countriesand Stand ins( C and D)​

Cambodia/Vitemahl(Destroy All Humans)
Home to the Komeer Beige Army, a parody and replacement for the Khmer Rouge Army. Led by Trahn, a stand in for Pol Pt. Vietmahl does not exist as a nation at 1936 start
Canada-Likely no Replacement. The British Royal family will retreat here if Britain is not safe. Canada has odd effects. Defeated individuals burst into coins(A reference to Scott Pilgrim vs the Worlds). It is led by Johnny Canuck, though other fictional Canadians can take command. The immediate succesoor is Lord Penrose from the Sherlock Holmes Story, the Scarlet Claw(It's a Basil Rathbone era Holmes story, which moves the action to a World War II setting, making Penrose a Mackenzie King stand in). Canada also houses the experimental Weapon X program.
Chile-No replacement yet. Though Augusto Pinochet has one in Antofagasto Panocho from The Tyrant.
Colombia/Val Verde(Commando, Die Hard 2, The Predator) Val Verde(or rather the name) has been used in multiple Action Movies. I imagine it is a military dictatorship as it is often depicted as but there could be an event that generates an alien Yautja or Predator coming down to wreck havoc.
Costa Rica/Costa Gravas(Chuck) Possibly under the leadership of Alejandro Costa from the same show.
Croatia/No replacement Yet. Croatia does not exist as a nation at 1936 start
Cuba/Tropico(Tropico). Headed by the Mysterious El Presidente. the game Tropico allows you to change you country's government into whatever you'd like. As such Tropico when AI controlled will likely switch constantly but El Presidente will always be in charge. In the 60's the Bay of Pigs, becomes the Bay of Llamas due to them being everywhere in Tropico. The Cuban Missile Crisis is also renamed.
Czechoslovakia/Ixania(The Dark Frontier). The Dark Frontier is a novel about Ixanian scientists inventing the Atomic Bomb but being prevented from getting the formula to the Nazis. While most of the research was destroyed. They have resumed their work. Possibly giving the Nazis an advantage that would allow them to create the Atomic Bomb first(well maybe by 1944 at least).
Denmark/The Southern Isles(Frozen). Just a name change as the Southern Isles are evidently in or around Denmark according to tie in material.
Dominican Republic/San Theodoros(The Adventures of Tintin). Switches constantly between two fighting Generals, General Tapioca and General Alcazar. Tapioca is a straight Dictator while Alcazar works most closely with Democratic countries. The capital is renamed every time one takes over. Most of the time the country reverts in between Tintin stories, so its likely leadership will change when you aren't looking.

 

[Marco Incognito]

Countries Stand ins from E to G​

East Germany-East Germany does not exist as a nation at 1936 start. May be replaced by Arztozka from Paper's Please instead of Poland.
Ecuador-No Replacement yet.
Egypt- No planned Replacement except maybe for Khandaq. Is filled with Mummies, including a certain one named Imhotep and Black Adam in 1945. Egypt does not exist as a nation at 1936 start
El Salvador-No Replacement Yet.
Estonia/Sokovia(MCU).
Ethiopia/Ishmaelia(Scoop) I am open to other countries though I have a list Ethiopia could be replaced with.
Finland/Cimmeria(Conan the Barbarian/If On a Winter's Night a Traveller...) Two countries named Cimmeria have been combined from two different stories. The first is the home of Conan the Barbarian, which takes place during the Hyborian Age(in this setting about 10,000 B.C. and also includes Westeros(due to England not being explored in the Conan stories, which has a world with the same geography but different country names and Lord of the Rings. Conan is a revered figure that mysteriously vanished while ruling as King and in this context is summoned to the Present(which has happened a few times in marvel Comics). The second Cimmeria is a country mentioned to have ceased to exist between the first and second World Wars, here it would canonically have seized to exist somewhere between 1936 and 1939 to make this true, possibly being invaded by the Soviet Union.
Georgia/Pottsylvania(Rocky and Bullwinkle)Pottsylvania does not exist as a nation at 1936 start
Greece-No Replacement Yet. Will likely be granted access to Greek Gods, Monsters and Heroes. The Greek Gods in particular can counter the Nazis gaining control of the Norse Pantheon(as they do in Thor vs Captain America, no relation to Marvel). The only direct replacement is Theo Tomasis from the Greek Tycoon replacing Aristotle Onassis.
Guatemala- No replacement Yet.
Guangxi Clique-No replacement Yet.

 

[Marco Incognito]

Country Stand in( H to J)​

Haiti-No Replacement Yet. Has access for more intelligent zombies as a nod to the Haitian myth. It is commanded by "Murder" Legendre. Bela Lugosi's character from the horror film White Zombie.
Honduras-No Replacement Yet.
Hungary/Zubrowka(The Grand Buddhapest Hotel).. Buddhapest is the capitol of Hungary, one would think the Grand Buddhapest Hotel is in Hungary but in the film it is actually in Zubrowka. So there you go.
Iceland-No Replacement Yet. Iceland does not exist as a nation at 1936 start
Iran/Asran(Area 88)-Is a Monarchy. Will undergo the equivalent of the Asran Civil War in the 70's in an an effort to overthrow the King. Is more advanced than Iran, having access to stealth Jets. Will also in the future be involved in the Asran Hostage Crisis(alt-Iran Hostage Crisis, which will be partly resolved by the events of Argo, though the movie they were pretending to make was actually made here.
Iraq-Qurac(DC Comics)-Contains the City of Agrabah as a replacement for Baghdad(which is destroyed in the evens of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. There is a possibility of finding Genies here.
Ireland-No replacement Yet. May be home to Banshees, Wilo-Wisps, Lephrechauns and the like.
Israel-No replacement Yet. Would have access to Stone Golems. Is historically much older as the Bible including Kings David and Solomon among others is treated as Historic fact, as such there is likely more support for Israel. Jacob Barnhardt and Anne Frank could also be mentioned(Barnhardt being a possible leader as a nod to Einstein being offered the role). They are also likely to get a young man named Erik Lensherr on their side with magnetic powers. Israel may or may not exist at game start.
Jordan-No Replacement Yet. Jordan does not exist as a nation at 1936 start

 

[Dumanios]

So I got a bit inspired by the thread's OP and decided to put some stuff together, mostly derived from existing assets in Hoi4 (which I'll mention at each point).

Germany's starting leader is Mr. Hynkel, who has a couple traits (balance of which to be determined, although they shouldn't be too crazy, I did slightly alter them from UMC Germany). Mr. Hynkel's portrait, as well as Germany's flag, are taken from a Great Dictator mod for Hoi4. As for the other potential Fascist leaders, at the moment I've only included a few additional leaders, currently just handled through the Oster Crisis and any other way that Hitler in the base game can die.

Forgive the ugly format of the image, but this demonstrates well enough the current system of Fascist leaders. Kemmler and Herring are the resident Himmler and Goering counterparts and act fairly similarly, while Strasse is entirely new. Strasse's portrait and a couple of his traits are taken from a Hoi4 Wolfenstein mod, though I'm pretty sure all the portraits are just the actual Wolfenstein appearances. Herring's portrait is self-made, for better or worse, while Kemmler still uses the base-game Himmler portrait, for lack of a picture in Dresden Files.

Wilhelm Klink is the Democratic leader for Germany, for the same reasons as outlined in the OP. Hypothetically, there could be other Democratic leaders, but that would come with changes done to the Democratic path itself, which... hmm, is a possibility. Klink currently doesn't have any traits, mostly because I'm just a bit lazy. In this case tho, any additional traits would be done if multiple democratic leaders get included.

Freder Frederson is the Communist leader, essentially much like the original OP, though I went with Jon Frederson's son rather than Jon himself. The Exiled trait is a holdover from base game's Wilhelm Pieck. Perhaps Frederson's place of exile is somewhere further overseas like the UK or USA, as I'd imagine Stalin (or, well, his counterpart) would probably not approve of Mr. Frederson's Bourgeois roots.

I should mention that Frederson's portrait is actually just a picture of the actor who played him, rather than specifically being from the movie.

Also ignore the bad spelling.

Okay I just put Wilhelm III here for lack of anything else with non-aligned. If Germany goes down the Oppse Hynkel -> Restore Kaiserreich path (assuming the focus tree doesn't change too heavily) then Wilhelm II might include some elements from George Shaw's Inca of Perusalem.

Also the portrait probably won't work without Waking the Tiger, so maybe I should add a new portrait?

Speaking of Oppose Hynkel, this brings up Senor Hilter and its varients. A Senor Hyknel path could open up for Argentina if Germany does Oppose Hynkel, with Hynkel, Strasse, and other escaped Nazis maybe building their new Fourth Reich in South America, making something happen there. Adam Hilt, the US version of Senor Hilter... could just be an alternate version of Hitler who's parents immigrated to the USA, much like how Joe Steele is mentioned in the OP. This could lead to the hilarious possibility of Adam Hilt vs. Joe Steele running for president of the USA.

I haven't messed with East or West Germany, or touched the German sub-kingdoms that Napoleon can make exist. They're probably gonna be a lower priority than at least the other six majors + China.

 

[Marco Incognito]

Since Dumanios started making Portraits, I thought I'd address examples of how each fictional element would probably come into play. Starting with the German Reich.

People
Adenoid Hynkel, Gorring Herring, Garbitsch- stands in from the Great Dictator of Adolf Hitler Herman Gorring, and Joseph Goebbels respectively.
Heinrich Kemmler-From the Dresden Files. Replaces Heinrich Himmler. A powerful dark wizard.
Dieter Vogel- the “Surgeon of Birkenau” from the 2010 film, The Debt. Based on and replaces Josef Mengele.
Wilhelm Strasse-From the Wolfenstein Games. Also a gifted scientist capable of creating giant robots, takes a Reinhard Heydrich like role.
Dr. Werner Von Merkwurdgliebe-German translation of the word “Strangelove.” The titular character from Doctor Strangelove before the events of the film. replaces Werner Von Braun.
Totenkopf-Scientist from the film The Rocketeer, combined with another Totenkopf from Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Is shown to be skilled in both Jetpacks and Robotics as a result. He is shown in Sky Captain to be dead for some time and is using robots to carry out his work.
Johann Schmidt-From Marvel Comics. Would visually be the MCU version.
Martin Heussman-From The Man in the High castle, replaces Albert Speer
Ernst Joachim Eugen Rommel-Our stand in for Ernst Rommel(Strike Witches)
Ersnt Janning-Nazi war criminal and defendant in Judgement at Nuremberg, a fictionalized version of the Nuremberg trials

Factor Tree
Allow Women to join the SS-A reference to Ilsa;She wolf of the SS, an Erotic about a Nazi camp run by a cruel dominatrix esque leader. This did not happen as the SS didn't allow women but doing so will get Ilsa Schlimm as a sadistic camp leader.

Form the SS Paranormal Division-From Wolfenstein, headed by Kemmler.

Missions
Reach the Moon-Nazi Science allows establishment of Nazis on the Moon(shown in both Iron Sky and Robert A. Heinlein’s 1946 novel Rocket Ship Galileo. The Rocket Ship Galileo one is destroyed quickly after it is discovered while the Iron Sky one hides on the Dark Side, canonically it would be destroyed by brief President Selena Catherine Eton Meyer in the future using the USS John Blutarsky(in the original film the battleship was named after George W.Bush). A Doctor Richter is likely to be among the group working on Reaching the Moon as a character of that name appears in Iron Sky.

The Coming Race-The Nazi's hunt down and kill the vril from The Coming Race in the Earth’s core(something which happened in real life though what they are looking for actually exists. They also obtain a mineral called Vril. This expedition is led by a Scientist named Dr.Baron Von Helsingard, who is even able to keep his severed head alive with technology. The expedition and Helsingard are enemies of Dr.Robo.

Steal Jetpack technology-From the Rocketeer, the technology in question was created by Doc Savage originally but also studied by Howard Stark.

Advanced Robotics-Courtesy of Strasse, Totenkopf and/or Helsingard.

Create Superhumans-Various but one example is the superhumans from the comic series Uber. Nazi Superhumans tend to be a case of Quality over Quantity as they are fewer but stronger. Albrecht Krieger(Captain Nazi) from DC Comics is about on par with Superman and Captain Marvel, Mastersman from Marvel is about equal to the Invaders in power, and Stormfront from the Boys in both Comics and Movies was shown to be beaten down by three Superhumans. So Nazi Supermen are stronger than individual heroes but cold be defeated by teams.

Reverse Extinction-Based on Dino D-Day, creates Nazi Dinosaurs with machine guns on them.

Obtain the Ark of the Covenant-Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Obtain the Holy Grail-Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. though in DC Comics, the Holy Grail was obtained by Japan and prevented Superheroes from invading it outright.

Obtain the Tesseract-Based on Captain America: The First Avenger. Involves Invasion of Arendelle.

Order 666-Aka create an army of Nazi Vampires from Hellsing. Headed by Vampire Alexander Vlado from Deutsche Soldaten.

Werewolf Women of the SS-From the song not the Fake film from Grindhouse(that's a real movie in this Universe). Would have to have gone up the Factor Tree allowing women into the SS.

Tsalal expedition-The Tsalal are a group of violent people who live in Antarctica, here in the Elder Things city from At the Mountains of Madness.

R'yleh expedition-Based on the Nazis finding R'yleh in a Colder War.

Haiti Expedition-From Nazis vs Zombies, an attempt to obtain Voodoo Zombies. In the film this ends in failure. These Zombies are the Romero type rather than the Voodoo Zombie type.

Trioxin study-refers to the Nazi Zombie trope as the Nazis are studying a Zombie virus, which they lose control of in Call of Duty:Zombies and Overlord.

Yucatan Pyramid Expedition- From Pathways to Darkness

Find a Stargate-From the Stargate franchise, contact with aliens possible though may be hostile or friendly.

Find Jewish technology-supertechnology hidden by a secret order of Jews in Wolfenstein: The New Order.

Find Atlantis-exactly that.

The Man in the High Castle- Chief Engineer Martin Heussman is looking into other universes, like the Stargate this is a high risk high reward scenario, whoever or whatever comes out from the other side may not be friendly.

Aesir Sacrifice-From the Novel Thor vs Captain America(no relation to Marvel despite the name) the Nazis discover sacrificing large amounts of people to the Norse Pantheon will summon a version of them that are on the Nazi side. The Norse Pantheon are brainwashed and so finding a way to break them out is possible(Thor here was originally a Red haired bearded man bu the Nazis magically transformed him into an aryan, now resembling his Marvel Appearance). The norse Pantheon can also be repealed either by the still around greek Gods as God pantheons tend to hate each other, or by the appearance of Kratos from God of War or Wonder Woman.

Plot against America-Kidnap famed Aviator Ted Scott's baby and force him to run for President and become a Fascist, if he rebels, kill him(The plot against America).

Kidnap Catskill-Attempt to kidnap Winston Churchill from The Eagle has landed.

The Kassen Secret- Ixanian scientists have invented the atom bomb and are trying to deliver it to the Nazis, the Allies are naturally trying to stop this(The Dark Frontier).

Finding Shambhalla- Based on Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shambhalla, which involves entering the world of Anime.

The Man with the Iron Heart- Strasse continuing to resist in a Heydritch role from the Man with the Iron Heart.

Events

Doppleganger-A plot goes underway to replace Hynkel with a Jewish lookalike(The Great Dictator).

Trap the Von Trapps-Prevent or Allow the Von Trapp family singers from fleeing the country( The Sound of Music).

Convert the Kit Kat Club-Turn the Kit Kat Club into a propaganda tool(Cabaret)

Inglorious Basterds-An attempt on the life of the Fuhrer is made during the premiere of the Film Nation's Pride.

Downfall-Hynkel has locked himself in a bunker with technology that allows him to see the future, he is going insane as he frequently complains about everything.

Operation:Valykrie-An attempt to kill Hynkel headed by a German general with an uncanny resemblance to Tom Cruise.

Alliances
Alliance with Draka

Alliance with Gellert Grindelwald-From Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts. Grindelwald is swedish and has a reign of terror that parallels Nazi Germany's(1933-1945). Allying with him could be justified by him being an Aryan wizard while betraying or attacking him could be justified as he is a threat to Kemmler's power.

 

[Miguel Lanius]

Wow, I'm surprised nobody tried to make a "Weird World War" kind of mod for HOI4 before.

I wonder if the John Wyndham tales could fit here, such as the Day of the Triffids and The Kraken Awakens.

For Brazil and Portugal, the return of King Sebastião could be a focus tree, leading to the creation of the Fifth Empire.

Some ideas for Brazil:

- Lampião. Perhaps as a part of events that deal with Lampião causing trouble through his banditry, and perhaps eventually going "Full Pancho Villa" on the Northeast, leading a revolt of the poor and desperate in a bid to gain power and riches. Another possibility is that his skills in irregular warfare get recognized by the government of Brazil (or Hugh. or the Lizards) and he gets recruited by them. There were also other cangaço leaders at the time, such as Corisco and Ângelo Roque.

- Capoeiristas like Besouro. Capable of achieving epic feats and even acquiring "Closed Bodies". However, the society of the time frowns upon the Capoeiristas due to them being black and often considered rebellious vagabounds. Besouro is dead but is a legend.

- The Black President is a possibly useful work to incorporate. It deals with the US, but the start involves a device that can see into the future in Brazil.

- Brazil has plenty of UFO Sightings.

- Buchescraft Paulista, a para-masonic secret society emerged from the Law School University of São Paulo. They pretty much controlled Republican Brazil until 1930, and even then, when Vargas took over, they went fully clandestine and disappeared. It is said Getulio Vargas sent people to raid their archives, and when he read it all, he said, if I remember right, that there so many influential people there, that he would't be able to rule the country without these people. Perfect recipe for sinister conspiracy things.

- Brazil has loads of mythological creatures and godly pantheons. Plentiful material.

- Manuscript 512. Which ties Brazil and aparently, greco-roman ruins. May lead to the discovery of the Silver Mines, ties to Z and The Lost World.

- The Lost World. There were also reports of Nazis doing expeditions in the Amazon. Perhaps they too are looking for the Lost World?

- Lost City of Z. Perhaps Col. Percy Harrison Fawcett may be found there? Links to the Lost World?

 

[Dumanios]

Lot of fun stuff here. I imagine Grindelwald and Aesir content could be shifted if one of the Scandinavian countries goes Fascist.

I actually think the plot of Inglourious Basterds could be a decision or espionage mission the Allies could do against Germany, though Espionage content is DLC locked (goddamnit Paradox).

A lot of these could probably be transplanted to Argentina in the event of a Senor Hilter situation.

Anyway, some things I've done with the Soviets/Russia. For the time being just the base game leader slots (including not-Trotsky).

Josef Besstrashniy, known by many as simply Besstrashniy or the Fearless Leader, is this world's Stalin counterpart, and maintains just as much total control over the Soviets. His portrait I took from one of the Rocky Bullwinkle movies, I aimed to get a portrait that looked roughly fitting with the Hoi4 artstyle (at least, live-action working better than the cartoon) and I also tried to an image that looked not too German.

Ostap Bender is just adapted from base-game's Trotsky, maintaining currently all his traits and other stuff. If (big if) I start messing with focus trees, his traits and methods of getting him power might change.

Melekhov... just uses a generic Soviet portrait, which coincidentally is also what Kerensky does in the base game. Since Melekhov is only a book character, I couldn't find any pictures of him with my weak google-fu.

Russia's greatest love machine shows up as the default Fascist leader, presumably explaining his reported death as a case of mistaken identity. Given that Rasputin would be an amalgamation of many different fictional iterations of him, I just went with a real world portrait. Helps that somebody made a Rasputin mod at some point, which only replaces Russia's Fascist leader + hasn't been updated in literal years.

As for Russia, their non-aligned leader is none other than Anastasia, who's death is also been an exaggeration. Though Anastasia would also be an amalgamation of several sources, I went with a Fate/Grand Order portrait for the sole reason of personal preference (well, that and any other Anastasia portrait would require permissions from other Hoi4 mods - it's a bit different when its a portrait made specifically for a mod).

Next up will be British leaders - I might mess with focus trees once I do leaders for the base seven leaders + China.

Wow, I'm surprised nobody tried to make a "Weird World War" kind of mod for HOI4 before.

Oh nice. You posted this while I was typing up the Russian stuff but that looks pretty cool for Brazil.

Ostap Bender-From The Little Golden Calf and other stories. Replaces Leon Trotsky.
Nikolai Rubashov-From Darkness at Noon. Represents several of the old Bolsheviks kills in Stalin's 1938 purges. Who knows he might end up surviving if he is either not killed in Purges or Bender or Antipov return.
Pavel Korchagin-From How the Steel was tempered. Fights on the side of the Bolsheviks in the Russian Civil War, making him likely to be loyal to Bender and Antipov but a target for Fearless Leader's purges.
Filipp Preobrazhensky-From Heart of a Dog. Scientist that turns a dog into a human, here he is carrying out the work of Dr.Moreau.
Timur Gaidar-From Timur and His Squad, a young boy who leads the Timurite movement or children(a movement based on the source book). Timur in this context I imagine him leading his small gang to become a type or proto Kids Next Door.
Professor Woland-From the Master and the Margerita. Enigmatic Professor who may or may not be the devil himself. He has witches,Vampires and a giant cat at his command. As such any attempt to capture or execute him is likely to end in him bursting into flames and disappearing.

Find the Baba Yaga
Find Koschei the Deathless
Seventeen Moments of Spring-From the series of the same name, involves undercover agent Maxim Isaev attempt to and very nearly succeed in negotiating an end to World War II(Himmler is all for ending the war on the western front so they could focus on the Soviet Union but Hitler finds out about it and puts a stop to the talks).

artifact hunt-Send Irina Spalko to retrieve magical artifacts.
Russian Sleep Experiment-Enough said.
Create the Winter Soldier-Also from Marvel Comics.

Events
The Last wish-Vinewood Director Leo Andeyev, a russian, is willing to make films for the Soviet Union in exchange for the Tsar's cousin Sergius Alexander being recognized with full honors post mortem. He is a great director but getting him would mean honoring a traitor(The Last Command, 1928 film).
Antipov returns-The mad scientist Zantafio had revived Antipov's corpse, except its actually a double and the KGB doesn't want people to find out.(Spirou & Fantasio). However a revived Antipov could either vow to crush capitalism(The Simpsons) or choose to become a Pundit(The Great Red Adventure).
The Blocks-Strange multicolored blocks have begun falling from the sky. They can be used for construction, saving time and resources or simply destroyed(Tetris and also to an extent A Complete History of the Soviet Union Arranged to the Melody of Tetris).

Mozambique/Gorotoland(Capable of Honor)A Communist country in the source material. Gorotoland does not exist as a nation at 1936 start

 

[Marco Incognito]

Countries N-P​

Nepal-No Replacement Yet. Though the plan is is is replaced by someplace like Shambhalla(i.e. Shangri-La)
Netherlands-No Replacement Yet.
Nicaragua-No Replacement Yet.
Norway/Arendelle(Frozen). Will have the ability to summon the Norse Gods. Should probably have a member of the royal family with Ice Powers who is a descendant of Anna and Elsa.
New Zealand-No Replacement yet. New Zealand is a dominion of United Kingdom at 1936 start
Oman-No Replacement Yet.
Pakistan/Qumran(Yes Minister)Qumran does not exist as a nation at 1936 start

Puerto Rico- No Replacement Yet. Puerto Rico is a U.S colony at 1936 start

 

[Marco Incognito]

Countries R-S​

Romania/Ruritania(Rupert of Henztau and Prisoner of Zenda). Transylvania is independent and is likely an "Unofficial" Vampire homeland.
Saudi Arabia/Quma(The West Wing, or alternatively Wasabia from Florence of Arabia).
Serbia/Lutha(The Mad King)(Was going to go with Servia from A Princess of Servia but Lutha is a bit more well known, also Wold Newton Universe, while I disagree with most of it, gives Lex Luthor a connection to Lutha, and the idea of Lex Luthor declaring himself the rightful heir of a European nation on the same continent as Doctor Doom was too good to pass up). Lutha does not exist as a nation at 1936 start
Shanxi-No Replacement Yet.
Siam-No replacement Yet.
Sinkiang-No replacement Yet.
Slovakia/Latveria(Marvel Comics, alternatively Slovakia is instead Sokovia and Latveria takes the role of Latvia).
South Africa/Draka(The Domination of the Draka) The Draka here are independent. Most of their history is roughly the same, it is a land of exiles. When slavery was outlawed instead of changing the name to "Serfs" they instead fought for independence and won due to being already quite powerful by then. In 1942, the Race from Worldwar invade South Africa, meaning the Draka have to fight them off. Draka also has a potential rival in Wakanda if they get involved.
Spain-No Replacement Yet. Honestly I feel like I need a Franscisco Franco replacement at least since he has a chance of joining the Axis and it would be weird if he was not replaced. No idea who though. I'm open to suggestions, same goes for any potential leaders for countries.
Sweden-No Replacement Yet. Frozen tie in material does have one but I don't think its a big name enough to replace. the only character I think should be added is Pippi Longstocking, who may turn up somewhere. I see her as the kid version of Mary Poppins or the Cat in the Hat, a quasi magical being who shows up with a pet monkey and a horse to make an individual's life better, though for this to work the person she visits is a world leader. Think something along the lines of an event in which the three ghosts of Christmas show up to Adenoid Hynkel and try to convince him to change his ways.
Switzerland-No Replacement Yet.
Syria/Bialya(DC Comics) Should have Queen Bee or an analogue running it, Queen Bee usually runs Bialya with mind control and is either psychic or an alien with an army of bee like drones. Bialya does not exist as a nation at 1936 start

 

[Marco Incognito]

Countries T-Z​

Tannu Tuva-No replacement Yet.
Tibet-No Replacement Yet, could be replaced with Shambhalla. Will at least have access to Tibetan Monks.

Ukraine Ukraine does not exist as a nation at 1936 start
Uruguay-No Replacement yet.
Venezuela- No Replacement yet.
Vietnam/Sarkhan(The Ugly American)-The Vietnam war becomes the Sarkhan War. For a Ho Chin Minh analogue I was thinking Wong-Chu, who in the Comics was responsible for kidnapping Tony Stark in the 60's. Sarkhan does not exist as a nation at 1936 start
West Germany-No Replacement yet. West Germany does not exist as a nation at 1936 start
Xibei San Ma-No replacement Yet.
Yemen-No replacement Yet.
Yugoslavia/Yudonia(Drake & Josh)
Yunnan-No Replacement Yet.
Zaire-No Replacement yet. Zaire does not exist as a nation at 1936 start
Zimbabwe-No Replacement Yet. Zimbabwe does not exist as a nation at 1936 start

 

[Marco Incognito]

I condensed the list of African countries to something more manageable, this means that other Fictional countries are changed to be in one of the mentioned. The idea was to prioritize the most famous fictional Countries rather than the stand ins. This is more about getting all the big Fictional African countries represented in as few countries as possible.

Angola/Babar's Kingdom(Babar the Elephant)
Egypt
Ethiopia/Wakanda(Marvel Comics)
Kenya/Bangalla(The Phantom)
Libya/Carbombya(Transformers)
Liberia/Equatorial Kundu(West Wing/Newsroom/Izombie)
Mozambique/Zamunda(Coming to America)
South Africa/Draka(The Domination of the Draka)
Zaire/Azania(Roman Literature/Black Mischief/Marvel Comics)
Zimbabwe/Matobo(The interpreter)

Azania
Chose to have Azania instead of Sangola despite the obvious inspiration. Azania has more history, going back to the Romans and as a name was used in Marvel and in the book Black Mischief, though the only problem is all three imply an East Africa location and Sangola in the wrong place. Azania broke away from Colonial Powers including the British. Around 1932, there were several Civil Wars, leaving no living members of the Royal Family. The League of Nations seized the country, who has it now is up in the air. Has been combined with Niganda to give access to Man Ape from Marvel Comics. Birani from The Gods Must Be Crazy is also folded in, in which a tribe untouched by civilization find a Coke Bottle and must return it to the gods(It's a Buzz Cola Bottle here). It could be rules by Fascist President for Life P'hat Daddee B'wonah(created by miniature wargaming enthusiast Michael T. Murphy). It is also connected to Gorilla City due to a meteorite that grants intelligence falling near Wakanda's Vibranium Meteor. So Azania can have four leaders, M'Baku as somewhat Democratic and King Solovar as Monarchist and P'hat Daddee B'wonah as Communist and Gorrilla Grodd as Fascist


Babar's Kingdom
Babar is an elephant who was found in the Jungle by an old Lady who took him back to her native France. Babar became educated and when he returned to the Jungle, vowed to socialize the animals in the ways of the Human and so has set up a society of animals and humans supporters. Babar's Kingdom can only be a Monarchy as it takes the role of Angola, which only has a monarch and then unidentified leaders however there are several different possible Monarchs should something happen to Babar, intelligent animals that supported him. They include Mufasa or Simba(The Lion King), Kimba(Kimba the White Lion), or King Leonardo(King Leonardo and his Short Subjects). Should Babar be overthrown he will either be killed(as happens in some parodies such as Robot Chicken) or flee to Zamunda(an Elephant named Babar is seen in Coming to America). the Capitol of Babar's Kingdom is Celestville, named after his Queen Celeste.

Carbombya
Libya expy headed by dictator Abdul Fakkadi, and also General Haffaz Aladeen from The Dictator.

Bangalla
From The Phantom comic strip. The Phantom's base lies in the deep woods of this central African nation. This country has unclear geography across the years. The African Portion is located in East Africa. It was an English colony in the 1930's before transitioning to self rule in the 60's canonically. Kenya in the base game only has one ruler. Here that ruler is Kit Walker, The Phantom.

Draka
Has a technology boost. Also houses lost cities of Kor and Opar, so as a way to bring in Ayesha from She or Tarzan as leaders(Fascist and Democratic respectively). The South African satirist Pieter-Dirk Uys, has a drag character named Evita Bezuidenhout who was from a fictional country. Here she is from Draka and is a possible leader. This provides some city names such as Laagerfontein(Capitol), Bapetikosweti, Lunaville and Blanche-Noir. Draka also may have a city called Harambe(Fictional City name at Disney's Animal Kingdom). The Draka outpost Outer Heaven is located nearby, founded by potential Draka leader Big Boss(Metal Gear).


Egypt
The only not nation in Africa not renamed. Egypt also doesn't exist at the start date, leaving it open for someone to find it and takeover.

King Abdullah Yoyo- A composite character based of Farouk Muhammad Ali and replaces him here. The King Yoyo part comes from A Young Girl's Touch, a book written by Farouk's former mistress and parodying him, and the film Abdullah the Great, in which Abdullah is played by Gregory Ratoff. He's the only character based off a real person. The rest are ideas for ancient beings, suddenly awakening and taking over. Our Royalist.

Teth Adam-Black Adam himself, who appears in 1945, having returned to Earth from exile and retaking his homeland, as he did later in DC Comics.


En Sabah Nur: X-Men foe Apocalypse himself, revived earlier than he should have. Straight Fascist Here.

Imhotep: Ancient Egyptian Priest mummified for an affair with Pharoah Seti's mistress. Here is a cross between his Boris Karloff version and the "Brendan Frasier" Mummy. His appearance is meant to change after every kill of whoever disturbed his tomb. While it may be difficult to implement, how about a changing portrait? Start off with the Karloff fully wrapped mummy, then Karloff's "more human" form and then we start to het the Frasier almost complete version. He's communist here largely because well...He'd hate Pharoahs given what one did to him.

Equatorial Kundu
Has appeared in multiple media. Also folded in Ligeria. Also decided to make it a replacement of Abuddin from Tyrant, making the Al-Fayeed Family the rules.

Matobo
Replacing Zimbabwe, which has only one fascist leader and one Democratic. Matobo also appeared in 24, where its founder was Ule Matobo since Zimbabwe doesn't exist. Another leader is Edmund Zuwanie, from The Interpreter, based on Robert Mugabe, as a leader who was seen as a hero but revealed to be evil.

Wakanda
Gets a technology boost. Wakanda is headed by the mysterious Black Panther, it is a Monarchy though if someone defeats the Panther they also claim the title. While replacing Ethiopia, it lacks the same history obviously, though I like to think in the future it becomes Numbani from Overwatch, giving the nation a new hero in Doomfist.
Zamunda
headed by Jaffe Joffer, James Earl Jones himself. Considering making Jaffe Joffer somewhat analogous to Idi Amin.


Extras
Rule of cool dictates the placing of Genosha, who can take the place of Madagascar(though the island is still called that by the resident Animals so the Madagascar films don't have to be renamed.It's likely a territorial location of the Draka given they enslave mutants until they are defeated and Magneto gains the country.

The Race from WorldWar will begin an invasion in 1942, starting at the Southern most tip of South Africa, i.e. Draka land.

 

[Dumanios]

Did some stuff for the British Empire now. Keeping mainly within the base game's leader slots.

George Brown from Vile Bodies, aside from winning an award for most generic name, comes with Stanley Baldwin's portrait due to lack of a TV show or anything for Vile Bodies. Not much else to say - he gets replaced later by Spry.

Now Spry's a little more interesting. Davenport Spry, from Scarlet Traces, is someone who saw the War of the Worlds for when it happened (sidenote, Mars is gonna be VERY INTERESTING in this world). Aside from having Chamberlain's usual traits, he comes with a unique one of his own - though since Spry takes Chamberlain's spot normally, it's very unlikely he'll get to make use of that trait (something that'll probably be solved with either a revision of Focus trees + events or a tech mod).

His portrait specifically is Harold Harmsworth's portrait from Kaiserreich, which I chose becaose Harold looks like someone who eats a bit. Marco Rodriguez pointed me toward's a portrait someone made specifically of Spry, though I have no idea if its official or not, along with it depicting Spry as he appeared in the 1910s.

Rupert Catskill, from Men like Gods. He was based off of Churchill, and since there's no movie or anything based off Men Like Gods (AFAIK anyway), I just went with Churchill's vanilla portrait.

Okay, this leader actually required a new event. Arthur Lytton (from Seven Days to Noon) is this timeline's Clement Attlee counterpart, and I'm really surprised Clement Attlee's not even in the base game as a leader. Tally that up as another weird thing about Hoi4. Arthur Lytton's portrait is actually a picture of his actor, Ronald Adam.

Bill Haydon, from Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, is one of the Communist leaders, though he currently only takes power when the focus British Ccmmunist Alternative is taken. Otherwise, Henry Pollitt maintains his usual position. I also replaced the Communist flag with the Union of Britain's flag from Kaiserreich, just because of personal preference.

With Roderick Spode being specifically based off of Mosley, he inherits his traits as well. This is actually accompanied by a change to the Fascist flag and party name to match the show he's from too.

There's not any big fictional stuff with non-aligned, I just added George V as their default non-aligned leader. The events that transition the monarchy from George V -> Edward VIII -> George VI also change the non-aligned leader as well. George V uses his Kaiserreich portrait.

 

[Marco Incognito]

Sir George Brown(Vile Bodies)-Replaces Stanley Baldwin.
Davenport Spry(Scarlet Traces)-Replaces Davenport Spry
Rupert Catskill(Men Like Gods)-Replaces Winston Churchill
Severus L. Heppenstall(Death of a Train)
Rudolf Whitlow(The Holy Terror)
Sir Harold Wharton(Greyfriars School, 1984)
Garald O'Brien(1984)
Arthur Lytton(Seven Days to Noon)-Replaces Clement Atlee.
Bill Harden(Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy)
Roderick Spode(Jeeves and Wooster)-Replaces Oswald Moseley.
James Bond-Already implemented.
Marvelman-the Comic character of the same name, later renamed to Miracleman. Threw him in here because then Britain has a Superhero on par with Superman, the Nazi Superheroes, and Starfire(red Star on the Soviet Side).

Factor Tree
Hoare-Lavel Pact-Proposal to give Mussolinii part of Ethiopia to ensure peace. Here giving Napaloni part of Africa in a potential peace deal.

Munich Agreement-attempt to appease Hynkel should he invade Ixania, based on Munich Agreement.

Space technology-Largely out of a desire to counter those damn Martians through using their own technology and the use of the mineral Cavorite from The First Men in the Moon.

Chemical Warfare-Used to kill the Martians in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, courtesy of a bioweapon created by Dr.Moreau. It worked so well the first time. Though the technology has been banned by the Geneva Connection...against humans at least, largely due to similar Bioweapons known to have created Zombies. Not even Hynkel will use Bioweapons normally due to being blinded by it in the first World War.

Airships-Airship technology here has existed since the War in the Air(1907 to 1911). Recently though several disasters involving airships have occurred that have made the British reconsider the technology(which is a big problem because of the Blitz). the two incidents in question are the crashing of the Goliath while searching for the lost city of Laputa(a floating city encountered by Lemuel Gulliver on his travels, evidently the meeting with Gulliver convinced the Laputans to abandon their city and settle down on Earth, leading to the events of Castle in the Sky). The second event is the airship being destroyed from Kiki's Delivery Service(moved in placement slightly). Also the Hindenburg of course.

Maturinist-based on the novel Leviathan in which Charles Darwin created super animals now used in warfare. Here they were created by Stephen Maturin, Charles Darwin analogue from the Aubrey-Maturin series, most famously Master and Commander.

Iron Sides- Technology from the alien Daleks from Doctor Who has been taken and can possibly be reverse engineered. We could see Daleks in combat.

The King's Speech-Help King George VI overcome his speech impediment and inspire his people.

Break the Enigma Code-Courtesy of Alan Turing, based on his The Imitation Game version.

Form the Albion Broadcasting Company-Analogue of the BBC.

Form QDivision of the SOE-Created to counter the Cults of the Old Ones from The Laundry Files.

Torchwood-Boost the power of Torchwood(with Jack Harkness as a member but not leader) in order to counter alien invasion.

Magical Assistance-the Ministry of Magic and the Wizarding world has its own problems with Grindelwald right now, but maybe you can convince them you have the same enemies and contribute to the war effort.

Return of the King-Search for and find Excalibur and Merlin, bringing forth the return of King Arthur.

Events
The War of the Worlds-Britain's long hated enemy, the Martians, has seemingly returned and are invading.

Abdication Crisis-Real Life Event based on Edward VIII abdication crisis.

Dunkirk evacuation-Exactly that though following the Christopher Nolan movies.

Wellington Wells Invasion-Germany invades and takes Wellington Wells, possibly leading it to break away due to a strange reality altering event and declare its own independence as a cross of the Wellington Wells from Mystery Quest and the Video Game We Happy Few.

Animal Farm-intelligent Animals have taken over Manor Farm. They could prove interesting allies. Shall we work to overthrow Napoleon, or shall we work to help the exiled leader Snowball reclaim his position, or place someone more loyal instead such as a young pig named Wilbur(Charlotte's Web).

Hundred Acre Woods-A young boy named Christopher Robin has shown the astonishing power to bring life to creatures from his imagination and stuffed animals.

Kassen Secret-A last ditch effort by Nazi Scientists to launch a bomb on the UK(Refers to the bombing of Colchester, part of the backstory of 1984 that led to Ingsoc taking over).

Day of the Triffids-Strange plantlike creatures have appeared over Britain and there is a passing comet.

 

[Marco Incognito]

I made a list of British Prime Ministers and placed them in chronological order based on when they are shown to be in power or if they can take certain terms. While only one part is relevant I thought everyone would like to see it. Also it ended up matching with Anarcho-Occultist's list a bit.

Sackville Somerset (Tory)(1907-1908)(The Adventure of the Lost Holiday)

Brian Marvin Geraldine(Lib)(1911-1916)(The Massacre of Mankind/A Prince of the Captivity)-Massacre of Mankind is also an unofficial War of the Worlds Sequel like Scarlet Traces.
Sir Walter Carey Marivale (Lib)(1916-1922)(The Man who knew too much)Another composite character though in this case the titular work is a collection of stories in which the two names appear in different stories, Sir Walter Carey and Marivale.

Sir George Brown, Baronet(Liberal Majority)1935-1937(Vile Bodies)
Davenport Spry (Tory)(1937-1940)(Scarlet Traces) As mentioned takes the Neville Chamberlain role, mostly because he sees the Martians as the true threat and ignores Earthly matters.
Rupert Catskill (Tory)(1940-1945)(Men Like Gods) Winston Churchill analogue. Loses the election due to the city of Colchester. being nuked, as per the events of 1984.
Severus L. Heppenstall(Tory)(1945)(Death of a Train)basically just a placeholder while Ingsoc takes over.
Rudolf Whitlow (Lab/Ingsoc)(1945-1948)(The Holy Terror) Started the Big Brother Government, including brainwashing everyone(in the book no one knows what year it is despite the title, which was an editor's change from 1948, the original title). Is murdered and overthrown. Is one of the few people to call himself Big Brother.
Sir Harold Wharton (Ingsoc)(1948-1951)(1984) Also went by Big Brother. Assassinated by a brainwashed Winston Smith
Garald O'Brien(Ingsoc)1951-1952(1984) Last Ingsoc leader, betrayed Wharton but couldn't cut it as a leader and also dealt with the Chimera Invasion.
Hugo Drummond(Labour Party)(1952-1956)(Hugo Drummond)
Arthur Lytton (Labour majority)(1956-1962)(Seven Days to Noon) Notably was in this timeline the Superhero "Supermac" before taking office, a reference to the Supermac cartoon character parody of Harold Macmillian. Takes a Clement Atlee role now as Ingsoc's takeover meant that role couldn't have been taken.
Leonard Braithwaite FRSJ(Labour Party)(1962-1964)(When the Kissing Had to Stop)
Charles Lenton(Labour Party)1964-1966(Corridors of Power)

Sir Mortimer Chris(Christian Democratic)(1984-1986)(Whoops Apocalypse)
Peter St. John (Tory) 1986-1988(Zenith)Imprisons the Superhero population of Britain, which is somewhat understandable since Miracleman had recently taken over and been defeated.
Margaret Brunner(Conservative minority)1988-1991(Jerry Cornelius) The second Margaret Thatcher analogue. First name is unknown as she went with Mrs. Brunner. Making it possible to composite both into Joan Brunner(nee Carpenter).
Raymond Gould(First Among Equals)1991-1992
Alan B"Stard(Tory)(The New Statesman)1992
Henry Collingridge (Tory) 1992(House of Cards Trilogy)
Francis Urquhart (Conservative minority supported by "Continuity" Christian Democratic, then majority) 1992-1994(House of Cards Trilogy) The British version, likely invites comparisons to American president Frank Underwood. Here he is assassinated by Norsefire(he is assassinated in his show)
Tom Makepiece (Tory) 1994(House of Cards Trilogy) Urquhart's canonical placeholder successor.
Adam Susan(Norsefire)1994-1997(V for Vendetta) Date based on the Comics, the events of which last the mentioned dates. This means that Norsefire is in power during the Eugenics Wars in this timeline, meaning a possible alliance with Khan Noonien Singh. I imagine he also betrayed the Minister of Magic, leading to Voldemort's takeover of the Ministry in Harry Potter.
Adam Lang (Lab) 1998-2000(The Ghost Writer)Based on Tony Blair.
Baldrick(Adder)2000(Blackadder: Back and Forth) The Blackadder special has time travel being used to put Baldrick as Prime Minister.

Joseph Green(Labour majority)2005-2006(Doctor Who) Killed and impersonated by the Slitheen.

Adam Suttler(Norsefire)2030-2032(V for Vendetta, Film) The Film version of V for Vendetta. Makes us or Rook's camps. Killed here by possibly a V impostor(V is implied to have survived in the book but the Movie not).

Michael Canaris(LDP)2035(Doomsday)

[Marco Incognito]

Similar list of Russian leaders to the British version.

Premiers of the USSR

Pasha Antipov(Communist Party of the Soviet Union) 1917-1924(Dr.Zhivago)
Josef Besstrashny (CPSU) 1924-1953(Rocky and Bullwinkle)
Yuri Gletkin (CPSU)1953(Darkness at Noon)
Dmitri Kissoff (CPSU)1953-1964(Doctor Strangelove)
Piotr Kamenev (CPSU) 1964-1971(Shoes of the Fisherman)
Alexander Romanov(CPSU)1971-1974(Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2)-In the altered setting of command and Conquer: Red Alert. He feigns loyalty to the allies who put him in power only to betray them. Mentions a connection to the Romanovs. I imagine he is Natasha Romanov's father who sold her to the state and she plays a part in bringing him down.
Vasily Yermakov(CPSU) 1974-1982(The Yermakov Transfer)-Is mentioned as being friendly to the US and the book is about him being transfered into power, makes sense after Romanov.
Anatoly Cherdenko(CPSU)1982-1986(Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3)-Good Old Tim Curry hamming it up and leading a Russia with advanced technology including hover tanks from Battlezone and launching operation:Red Dawn. World War III here ends with Adrian Veidt launching his fake alien invasion from Watchmen, resulting in a ceasfire.
Andrei Narmonov (CPSU)1986-1987(Jack Ryan Series)-One of two Gorbachev stand ins. Though he falls more on the evil side due to the video game Mother Russia Bleeds about him being evil, defeated and seemingly killed by 4 player characters named Sergei, Boris, Ivan, and Natasha(in this case Sergei Kravinoff and Natasha Romanov from marvel Comics, Ivan Denisovich from One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, and Boris being a commando from Command and Conquer: Red Alert. Since he resembles Gorbachev he appears in Zangief's Street Fighter ending and in Rocky IV.
Gorny(CPSU)1987(World War III) Briefly restarts World War III after the seizefire.
Georgy Antonov(CPSU)1987-1989(Dirk Pitt)
Vladimir Soshkin (CPSU) 1989-1990(World War III the Movie)-Another World War III made General.
Illya Nickovitch Kuryakin(CPSU)1990-1991(The Man From U.N.C.L.E.)-The second Gorbachev analogue, much nicer and brings down the Soviet Union.
Vladmir Kruschkin(Independent)1991-1996(Canadian Bacon)
Sergei Karpov (Independent) 1996-1999(The Saint)
Pyotr Chigorin(United Russia)1999-2002(The West Wing)

Presidents of the Russian Federation (2002-)

Ivan Krutin (United Russia)2002-2005(Monica in the Kremlin). One of many Putin analogues. This one has his career ruined by Monica Lewinsky(rather her stand in) also in the source material.
Sergei Platov(United Russia)2005-2009(Trinity Six)
Irina Vladimirovna Putina(United Russia)2009-2010(My Girlfriend is the President). First Female leader. Why she is in charge is unknown(the titular Girlfriend President has an in universe reason that involves aliens hypnotizing people). I will say she is the adopted daughter of a Putin analogue. She is shown getting sick in cold weather, so she is likely put in an ambassador position so she is sent elsewhere, like Japan as in My Girlfriend is the President.
Boris Matveyev(United Russia) 2010-2012(Salt)
Viktor Petrov (United Russia) 2012-2014(House of Cards)-Putin analogue.
Pavel Ostrov (United Russia) 2014-2015(Madam Secretary)-Murdered by his own wife Maria, who takes power briefly befor ebeing exposed.
Maria Ostrov(United Russia) 2015(Madame Secretary)
Boris Vorshevsky(Ushi/Independent) 2015-2016(Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3)-Leads Russia during another War caused by Vladimir Makarov.
Salnikov(United Russia) 2016(Madame Secretary)-Moved up a bit to accommodate Boris from from Modern Warfare.
Valeri Volodin(United Russia)2016-2019(Jack Ryan Series)
Victor Zaitsev(Russian Star Front) 2019(Vanquish)
Vselovod Kapalkin(Russian Star Front) 2019-2020(EndWar)-Another War Era Leader.
Nikolai Vladekov(RSF) 2020-2026(Shattered Union)-Carries over.
Nikolai Platonovich (House Romanov) 2026-2034(Day of the Oprichnik)Yes Nikolai of House Romanov returns. Tsar is reinstated.
Maxim Moskvin (Communist Party of State Security) 2034-2037(Metro 2033)
Dominika Egorova (Democratic Reconstructionist) 2037-2042(Red Sparrow) Not in the Source Material but why not?
Sim Karnavalov (House Karnavalov) 2042-2077(Moscow 2042)Self Declared Tsar.
No Leaders 2077-2088-Due to the nukes flying
Nikolai Dvorak (I) 2088-2098(Judge Dredd)-Leads the Futuristic Megacity in what used to Russia. Likely resigns after the nations left join the Federation from Star Trek.

 

[Dumanios]

Gonna blast through what work I've done with France, Italy, and Japan in one post since all three of them are pretty barren.

Couple new generals for Free France specifically, coming with the Continue the Fight focus.

Also now there's a non-aligned leader by default.

Italy's one thing it got was Benzino Napaloni replacing Benito Mussolini. However, Japan got to have a few more changes, most notably some new flags.

I also added several generals from Code Geass, along with a democratic leader. I figured since Code Geass's alternate timeline uses a time system that adds about 50 years compared to the usual BC/AD system, so while the year in Code Geass is 2017, that translates to about the 1960s. Still a bit early, but close enough for me.
