Some things that are off screen: I. Japan is like the Holy Roman Empire, with warlords being promised autonomy, but having to serve under Hirohito. The north are the communist ones with the most southern province being Mao Zedong's. II. Italian colonies in Abyssinia, they are all free, but are close allies with each other without a faction, almost all puppeting each other at the same time. III. The British Empire is still whole, it just has domains just like the USSR and Japan. IIII. Kurdistan, Hungary, Southern Slovakia, Poland, and Eastern Germany are all Soviet puppets, Mongolia has been annexed, and so has Tannu Tuva. V. The borders stay the same up until 1950, so it is 1950.
