A little story about a normal game on Deity that I am playing...
As German forces marched into Ngome, a Zulu colony located in Indo-China, the history of the world changed from one of non-stop struggle between those that were aligned against the German Socialist Republic to one where international disputes became more prevalent and focus on dismantling the German Juggernaut were replaced with a more stratified world.
To be certain, global realities put into place by a German Communist Party bent on global revolution had their extreme effects on the global political system. Many would argue that the current state of affairs is due directly to the overt attempts of the German Communist party to drive all forces other than Socialism from any area of the world they wished. The Communist forces in Germany themselves were a direct result of two attempted Republics within a German-controlled Europe at the time as well as the strong Monarchy that had represented "Germany," not as a nation but as a State comprising many nations of many ethnicities.
The problem the powerful German Monarchy realized was one of two issues; (1) The Monarch was becoming too powerful, but only because the military was far too strong, the Monarch himself realized that a strong military was only making him weaker in the long run despite gains in territory and wealth due to conquest, and (2) That the overwhelming size of the military would be impossible to manage with a changing economy and a larger, more unweildy, state forming around a Teutonic Monarch who's seat was thousands of miles away from most of the nations located within that state, and equally as far away in terms of culture from his subjects.
Thus the first attempts at a Republic happened along European lines, to be sure Germany held an impressive swath of territory outside of Europe however this territory was either too small to have a voice or simply not yet connected to what the "German" monarchy had become. Thus the first form of Republic was formed and problems began immedeately; the first of which was management of a military who's only role to this point was conquest and wealth for their beloved Monarch. The price to maintain a military under the Republic was problematic due to the administrations that were created to manage the economy and the military and their reluctance to work together. It is important to understand that many of these people were brought in from different provinces of the state (Russia, Britain, and Turkey for example) to continue to manage what were in all respects German policies.
Thus huge cuts were made in the military, many forces out in the field were brought back home, most in the midst of war or of engaging enemy soldiers. The Republic had failed to gain peace from the Persians, who were in charge of Africa and much of the Middle East, and had equally failed to turn the fledgling Spanish state in Indo-China into a powerful ideological ally against the Persian Republic. Public works became an important part of the Republican platform; they felt that better conditions for the citizens of Germany would be necessary to bring about social change, which was probably accurate however created a new system of servitude; Capitalism. [It should be noted that this document is of the German Labour Party (GLP) during the Communist uprising of the late 1700s, and does not demonstrate total reality. In this instance the GLP claims that the Republic created Capitalism as a means of producing public works thus taking advantage of their workers. When in reality it was the common people, the workers, that demanded a change in the quality of life.]
The system, however, did not take. The German military saw defeats in the Middle-East, Africa, and central Asia to the Persian forces that they once dominated. The attempted colonization of the Orient on the part of Republican leadership (which was substantially wealthier than the common worker), in order to put to work more people, people who they were not ethnically related to, for their own personal gain. Thankfully, yet unfortunantly, these attempts were put to rest by maurading Persian forces attempting to stop the Republic from becoming the Monarch it had deposed. The bourgeosie, the new middle class formed from the merchants and administrators of both the old Kingdom and the new Republic, decided that the problem was not in the leaders of the Republic, but was however in the weakness and formation of the Republic called again for a new constitution that would grant more lattitude to the owning class.
The military was again cut, social institutions were cut, and more (yet advertised and lenient) taxes were created to peck at the proletariat (or working class') pockets. [Here the GLP accuses the Republican government of changing the Constitution as a response to their dwindling abilities as leaders, when in actuality it occured as a direct result to the lower classes of society demanding a more prominent role in voting for their leaders.]
When the Federal Government was formed in the 1760s, there was at first a gullible belief by many workers, soldiers and peasants that maybe their lot in life would change due to the fresh constitution. However, former social aides were no longer offered by the new government, which was necessary after the demise of a tyrannical Monarch. The Military was again cut, and Germany was at its weakest point, losing Israel to Persian forces and being decimated in an attack on Babylon south of Tblisi. Workers were being put towards entertaining the masses in order to boost tax dollars and many of the former construction suggested by the old Republic was being changed into money and luxuries. These attempts to subdue the people into a new government while Germany fell behind in technology and power (and in some minor cases territory) forced the German Labour Party to form in the city of Bonn 1765, by a German named Karl Marx. His doctrine on the inevitabilities of history formed the belief structure for two young Russian Socialists named Trotsky and Lenin, who formed the Russian Worker's Party, later changed to the Socialist Party of Workers, Soldiers and Peasants.
In 1780 a conference was held between the GLP, and the SPWSP, along with the German Socialist Party, the British Worker's Party, and the Nationalist Party of Labour who signed an agreement towards mutual respect and a coalition that would become a force in Parliament. Meanwhile the Federal Government's plans at appeasing agitators had worked, Germans were generally richer than they had been, despite their government's loss of its Royal Wealth, and the loss of their overwhelming military might. However, the eastern territories, along with a war torn Middle-East and a disdainful Britain pushed to gain an advantage in Parliament which would allow Leon Trotsky to become Prime Minister dissolving Parliament and declaring a state of emergency. Here is the final part of his speech which touts the causes of Marxism-Leninism on the part of Leon Trotsky:
"It is with terrible fear for the future that I accept my burden as the last Prime Minister of this nation, within my rights and powers, and with consent of [President Metternich] that I dissolve this Parliament indefinitely and call a state of emergency in response to the demise of German forces along the border with Persia, and in response to the subsequent alliance that has formed between the states of Persia and of the Spanish Republic. These new threats must be challanged, nay decimated at the fields of battle, and to ensure victory over those who would destroy our Union I allow the military to take its rightful place as the defenders of our state."
[In this speech, the Prime Minister Leon Trotsky (who served for only one day following an election that was considered corrupted), dissolves Parliament thus leaving the Federation's institutions in dissaray. The call towards the military came only after the soldier's Union (chaired by Lenin) became legal and affirmed by Parliament]
Thus with Lenin as the chair of the German Soldier's Union, and Metternich (a leading Socialist, however a non-Marxist) in control of the state a new situation had arisen; should the leftist Socialists (Marxists) rule the State or should the middle ground Socialists rule the state. Unfortunatly for Metternich, the Prime Minister wasn't done yet...
To be continued, with an actual story, and maybe pictures.

Ming, we don't need any help here. We inflict enough confusion on ourselves, thank you very much.
