Playing with non-historical focus turned on feels like cheating. (When you're Germany.)

I usually play historical focused games.

Decided to try non-historical, playing as Germany.

Russia became a Tsarist monarchy, and England also became a monarchy. Both of them seem pretty friendly with my fascist Germany. I was able to take out France and the only countries that cared enough to declare war on me were Australia, Canada, and South Aftrica.

Makes me realize that the historical focus scenario is probably the most difficult scenario for Germany. Without Churchill and Stalin facing off against him, Hitler has a pretty easy life.
