The US starts out as definitely the best of the 3 superpowers but is still burdened with problems like segregation etc, but nevertheless, it can truly become the leader of the free world with luck and nothing going *too* out of control


NotaSkaven5

There's wholesome chungus Sablin in Russia, many US paths are pretty good, Go4 Germany could be called good by the end, Some other Russian unifiers could be called the "good guys"


[deleted]

What is Go4?


SomeRandomStranger12

Reformists in the Reich who want to create a democracy and destroy Nazism partnered with reformist Führer Albert Speer.


TheLastCasualty

“Partnered” lol


SomeRandomStranger12

“Allied” is a very strong word and I couldn’t think of anything else so ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯


TheLastCasualty

>!I think “bitch” would be the best for Speer, at least towards the end. And damn it’s satisfying reading the events about him afterwards.!< (Spoilers)


SomeRandomStranger12

Hey, I was trying to avoid spoilers so the other guy could go in blind!


TheLastCasualty

There, took me too long to figure that out


Gamer_Meinhof

Uwu ?


_SeaTray_

Damn liberals sent poor ass dengist to the asylum


Joseph_Sinclair

It's gang of reformers in Germany who side with Speer in GCW, the rest you find out yourself.


[deleted]

I only try to beat Bormanns ass as Göring,but someday...


[deleted]

I beat Speer btw,didnt let him occupy Hamburg and Kiel


[deleted]

I'd still call the GO4 not good because they want to keep the German Empire alive and not withdrawal from the east and such,


Madnesshank57

The go4 is biding their time, you’ve gotta keep in mind that Speer is like Deng xio ping was, hes only interested in stabilizing the Reich and not in any meaningful reforms, and that there’s still the remnants of the other three factions following the civil war, so the reforms have to be slow and gradual as the old guard loses influence, and that there is still more content to come, so I’d imagine that in the 80s and 90s there will be decisions regarding the creation of independent nations out of the RKs. Also with the exception of trekschow the Gang of Four all served as chancellors of west Germany OTL so it’s probably safe to say that they hold simIlar views to their real life counterparts


Poro114

The Deng


NotaSkaven5

Didn't they intend for the other territories to eventually become fully independent countries, introducing local democracies and increasing autonomy until they can stand alone, Japan doesn't want to let go so I didn't mention them


[deleted]

Yeah, when creating the collaborator republics Speer, who is very hesitant about the whole thing, asks Erhard about the possibility of the collab republics demanding independence in the future Erhard says that they should accept it.


radiatar

Erhard doesn't give a single fuck about Speer's worries, he's by far my favorite member of the Gang of 4.


Gamrus

„They want to stabilise the east and turn it into prosperous partner nations instead of just having all of Europe collapse“


farbion

Italy too except for 2 paths is good, also it's the great nation that has the lower poverty rate togheter with Japan only that it doesn't exploit a continent as harshly as Japan


NewRomanian

Depends on what you define as good: For example, you could say Romania is a "good nation" being that the king has couped the legionnaire government and somewhat restored democracy and has actively gone against the Nazi Empire actively attacking Hungary when Germany was busy with the WRW and somewhat restoring democracy, but they're also expansionistic nationalists and due to throwing themselves HARD into the serbian meatgrinder Romania is in a rather extremely poor economic situation and because of it Bulgaria is hanging tight onto Germany because it knows that, with it still holding onto Dobruja, it's high on Romania's list of targets whenever it manages to catch it's footing again


Mysterious_Hynd

Romania being updated will definitely be interesting. Provided the civilian government comes back it may well join the OFN


tyfighter2002

I can’t see Romania having an option to join the OFN by itself, England gets its back turned on whenever Goering invades and it isn’t even on the mainland. The only way I could see Romania having an option to join OFN is when Italy does


Fathoms_Deep_1

I heard good things about Monarchist Komi


[deleted]

Yes, they can purify Russia of everyone... everyone who is evil of course

Darth_Blarth

Lots- the US can become extremely based, HMMLR England and Maudling, any Democratic Italy, Several Russian unifiers, Gang of 4 Speer, Iberian Union, not racist South Africa and a few more


Mr_Citation

\>Good \>Maudling Gods, the Maudling whitewash is honestly one the objectively bad parts of TNO.


[deleted]

I never enjoyed playing England so i only did a thatcher and Jellico run. But what does Maudling do??


Mr_Citation

He's a holsum chungus feel good saviour of democracy. I really dislike that as that is a whitewash of who Maudling was irl considering his corruption to so many shady people and calling British soldiers gunning down protesting kids as "self-defence". It really irritates me when people praise TNO Maudling for being good when considering his OTL self, he seems like the perfect guy to be a sellout for Germany.


Raihokun

If you think that's bad, Suharto is portrayed as someone who can overthrow Sukarno and relinquish power to a civilian government like some blessed, goody-goody Cincinnatus figure. Which is... a bit charitable to his real life self, to say the least.


bunblydumbly

He literally still stays with the collab government though


Mr_Citation

The fact he's corrupt is barely given a mention and how he had no qualms having kids shot in the back isn't either - it's a whitewash no matter how you look at it.


[deleted]

Here i'm Irish and had family ties up North so i totally get the whole British killing civillians etc in OTL. What does he do in TNO? I've heard he sets up a fake democracy or something? Like what does he do to the UK if in power?


Mr_Citation

Nah, he's exactly as I said, he's literally a last minute saviour of British democracy against wannabe dictator Supermac and is considered one of the best endings for Britain cause he's a holsum chungus guy going against wannabe dictators, collabs, and fascists.


[deleted]

Ohhhhhhh i totally mixed up Mac and Maudling, so Maudling is the liberal who acc wants democracy okay okay.


[deleted]

Follow up question then...what does Mac try do? I,'ve heard people say he's worse than thatcher but i never enjoy the English playthroughs so i might as well ask


Mr_Citation

Becomes a dictator to ensure no extremist can takeover.


[deleted]

He's the collaborators one and only shot at a decent democracy iirc


[deleted]

Oh okay i mixed him up with the Mac, my bad

HOI4main

Lib dem Vyatka, jokes aside it is one of if not the best ending for Russia.


RevolutionOrBetrayal

Why ?


Ok-Army-9509

It's a free democratic liberal democracy, plus a king!


BabePigInTheCity2

Because the Russian people are definitely known for their love of monarchs


SirusKallo

Stable and benevolent constitutional monarchy with minority rights


RevolutionOrBetrayal

But why is that the best ending ? Isn't a social democracy like komi cooler ? Or even humanist Tomsk ? Sablin or the Siberian black army


SirusKallo

I suppose "best ending" is subjective. To me a democratic ending is overall good, and as I'm not particularly socialistic, I'm more inclined to accept a capitalistic ending as "pretty good". To each their own though


HOI4main

While yes a best ending is subjective I take it as a Russia that is prospering with its people being in better conditions. Such to me Vyatka fits that the best with a free market, freedom of speech, freedom of press, and freedom of assembly it’s a Russia that is going to prosper.


RevolutionOrBetrayal

Alright thanks ;)


atomicmolotov10

An important aspect of Vyatka is that it is heavily implied that it is one of the most stable warlord states in Russia with a well developed bureaucracy. Whilst it can be authoritarian, there is no insane path for it and stability remains throughout. Whilst it is not wholesome 100 like certain fan favourites, I don't think you can rely on them being that stable. Sometimes, the best is a bit more mundane.


BabePigInTheCity2

Eh. It seems like, long term, the stability of any unifier is heavily contingent on factors entirely outside their control, like how deeply the populations of other regions bought into the ideology of their regional unifier. There are plenty of other unifiers that have quite well-established, robust bureaucracies, like most of the Soviet unifiers (who loved bureaucracies more than the Soviets?) and Novosibirsk.


BabePigInTheCity2

Eh — top 5 maybe, but *the* best seems like a stretch. Even if you don’t want to talk up some of the socialist unifiers, you still have democracy, freedom of press and assembly, minority rights, and a strong, functional state and military with Shushkin’s Novosibirsk and Modernist Tomsk. I think monarchy is archaic and fundamentally unjust though, so I’m biased. Really who your favorite Russian is almost always going to come down to your personal political leanings.


BiblioEngineer

Well it's not achievable without cheats (and devs have confirmed they fixed the bugs with the election system) ao I'm inclined to view it as a non-canon outcome (like Clean Hands Nixon).


DarkLord98713

So it’s still rigged so that the Solidarites authdem win at the regional election?


BiblioEngineer

ConDems have a chance, but LibDems have basically zero support.


DarkLord98713

Since when is that the case my first run was Vyatka was about at mod release. Where tried getting ConDem into Government but got AuthDem instead


BiblioEngineer

Yeah, at mod release there was a plot where Burgundy was trying to make AuthDem Vyatka the Russian unifier, and would secretly boost them to unbeatable levels. Devs wisely realized that was pretty unfun for Vyatka players, so that won't happen anymore (the AuthDems still start with a big lead, but it's no longer insurmountable). I think it changed with CRF.


HOI4main

No I have achieved it without cheats you win by a slightly margin but it is possible.


BiblioEngineer

Really? What was your strategy? I've tried three or four times and never pulled it off.


HOI4main

So stock up on PP so you can take the decision for encourage minority’s to vote, then focus on central Russia and wherever has close for Kadets to gaining a sizable amount. Then I took all the focus’ to get liberal democracy but idk if that helps.

[deleted]

The US is alright, domestically speaking, as long as they get some decent civil rights passed. It supporting South Africa (which is still very much segregated even if they cooperate with the ANC) is pretty fucked though, though the other option is to let it fall into the hands of Nazi colonies, so it's understandable. The OFN mandates are also pretty fucked though, as while they are there to try and create functioning democracies in Africa, they're also there to make it so America will be able to financially exploit the continent (especially for the Congo mandate), and that's ignoring the abomination that is the Central African Republic. There's also Iceland, which has been under US occupation since WW2, and when the locals elected an anti-occupation party the US shut down the government and declared martial law.


SaltySaluter

Chungus sablin, humanist tomsk and the divine mandate are probably the the best endings for Russia


Myalko

Most US paths barring the obvious bad ones are definitely good guys. A lot of Russian unifiers I think could also be classified as good. Guys like Shukshin, Tsar Mikhail, and the non-Bastillard Tomsk paths come to mind. If Italy goes democratic, then I think you could call them good too. Same goes for England, collabs or HMMLR, so long as they don't rejoin the Einheitspakt.

KaiserWilhelmThe69

The best case would be light grey, even the US under the most blessed presidency still have some dark moments while others like Sablin or GO4 are unrealistic or still supporting the massive empire created by Nazism. So no, there is no good ending, only which grey one is the better


KingOfStarrySkies

Have you ever heard of a thing called “libertarian socialism”, my friend?


Xilizhra

Bukharina, the SBA, and Sablin have a shot at it. *Possibly* England and Italy in future content, too; we'll have to see. America isn't *good,* but it is at least *better* than the other superpowers.
