So far, I have completed the following:
4 cartels added to Mexico
The Mexican Remnants
All nations should now have trainable divisions, but not all have forces deployed at the start

What I hope to have completed by the next update:
FLAGS!!!!! Photoshop has finally downloaded, so I'm going to spend most of my modding time on this until it is mostly/fully done
Starting forces for all/most nations
Leader names and portraits
New states
At least two more countries, plus the ones in Mexico. Likely more

The next update will contain the following:
All modded nations will have starting units
Fixed a state population (55 million is way different than 5 million!)
Add new states, shuffle around some borders
All nations will have flags (two currently don't)

Yes! I have someone helping me with the mod. He's focusing on Europe, I'm going to focus on North/South America. I believe that soon I will start working on spirites/focuses

Do you plan to add anything unique for the Hoosier Alliance? Seeing as well, they're the ''Inheritor of the American military''?

for europe can you have it be very divide like it was in the middle ages russia is like the HRE though?

For Europe, I'd like to see it divided more along modern province and state lines than medieval ones. Like, the different autonomous regions of Spain or the different States in Germany, and different republics, oblasts, regions, etc. of the Russian Federation independant, with maybe even the bigger ones split and smaller ones consolidated, with similar things happening with the rest of europe.

Also, do you have any plans for Asia, Oceania, Africa, the Middle East, etc?

Have you possibly ever thought of maybe a european intervention side event where say a random european country tries to send in forces and you have a choice to..Idk maybe deny there forces decreasing trade rlations but upping stability or...Maybe Accepting them giving you 2 of their troops..and possibly joining their alliance if they are in one but your stability lowers or something.Or you could outright kill the forces in something similar to a border conflict where they declare war on you but you get big bonuses?..I dunno maybe.

What exactly do you have planned for Alaska? Will they be working to defend the North American continent from the communists in the east? Will they be going to war with canada? I'm very interested in them.

Also, since this is supposed to be based in 2040 and a stagnation of technology was mentioned, will you be using the millenium dawn tech tree, or will you be making your own tech tree?

Their focuses will likely be about manpower, industry, and defeating their rival, Cascadia. Personally, the Alaskan Military State is one of my favs.

The tech will likely be the Mil. Dawn or similar due to the stagnation and with more "future" options later in the game.

Alrighty folks, this is what I have planned for the next update:

New states. I've already started working on 'em, but it may take awhile. I'm stilling learning the ins and outs of state modding. I can do it, just some trial and error.

Borders will be shuffled around after the creation of new states. Some nations may gain or lose bits of territory. The map will not be as "uniform" and "clean" as it is now.

Populations in states will change. I'll be using popluation estimates for the time, but also tweak them, due to the fact this is alt history.

S. America will likely be decolonized, with all S. American nations being free of European rule.

Bring U.S Remnants holdings down to just Virgina and Maryland, get rid of Pacific holdings and such.

I might start messing with the ideologies. I'm going to be adding new ones at some point, just don't know when.

Some of you may want to know what was included in the last update. Well,
Three nations were added, Greater Cuba, the Dominican Republic (okay, those two were just changed a bit, not added), and Puerto Rico.

All nations now have staring units.

can you add custom looks when you zoom into the map that the units look different on the map by different nations
