    Victoria is a fundamentally materialist franchise, which you can't say for most other paradox games.

    Although Vic 2 is definitely kinda lib, with "socialism" being social democracy and "communism" being authoritarian tankie no free speech or democracy.

      I remember there being some sort of interview where a paradox developer mentions that if they did that for Hearts of Iron, Germany would be literally unplayable. :stalin-pipe:

        Doesn't surprise me lol. Germany in hoi4 literally gets massive buffs to industry not because of any material state of their country, but because they are Germany

      While V3 definitely looks like a massive improvement in that regard, the fact that “Vanguardism” is going to be a possible government type worries me.
