1. Why aren't there any conservative/libdem parties on the piechart?
1. Because all those ideologies are quite unpopular considering the completely collapse of party democracy through the whole region - even the democrats aren't convinced about party democracy.
2.In what ways will Italy interact with fatherland front bulgaria?
2. it supports fatherland front bulgaria, and then various italys support various factions within it - Fash to Zveno, Dem to BANU, and Reds to Reds.
3.What will be the possible outcomes of a FF election?
3. Technically, the only products of an election are the fatherland front - it's a united front, it fields candidates as a group (kind of). That being said, power can fall towards Communists, BANU, or Zveno depending on what happens.
4.Will a Fatherland Front coup automatically keep monarchy?
4. A fatherland front coup will lead to a republic in time, unless counterrevolution sets in.
5.Will there be a path for the Fatherland Front where elections aren't held and either the Zveno/Hardline communists ursurp power?
5. More or less
6. Will the CIA be able to do anything in Bulgaria?
6. maybe a little, tbd
7.After the great game gets removed, how will Italy be able to influence Bulgaria?
8.After the great game gets removed, how will Germany be able to influence Bulgaria?
7 + 8. will come in PW
9.I know this is a longshot but will Japan be able to do anything in Bulgaria?
9. maaaybe, but only if a closer power goes Sphere
10. How will the different superpowers approach Macedonia, if at all?
10. Macedonia is basically hated by everyone nearby except Turkey, so a superpower would only commit to it as a sore loser play
11. Will a communist Bulgaria be able to join the comintern?
11. yes
12. Will Japan support Macedonia over a message of le epic anti imperialism?
13. Will Bulgaria be a able to become a proper Sphere or OFN member like it can now?
12 + 13. international alignment questions are hard, bulgarian politics mostly is a game between italy germany and turkey not the traditional big 3. If Italy can go sphere and OFN then so can Bulgaria
14. Will a status quo/BANU/Zveno be able to interact with Likhachyiv, as the main focus of his career was bulgarian history and culture and how a lot of Russian culture comes from Bulgaria?
14. based, didn't consider that
15. Will there be a countercoup to a FF coup?
15. yes :thatcheryes:
16.Will Bulgaria have Bulgarianisation campaigns or will it let ethnic Turks mostly chill like OTL?
16. If fascists take over, they will not let the Turks chill. the irl leader of the UNBL was intensely turkophobic, as were the Ratniks
17.Will there be any other potential monarchs other than Simeon ll?
17. yes, Kiril is one, others TBD (as in I didn't pull them up lol)
18.Who will Turkey support in Bulgaria itself, if anyone?
18. No one at start (relations were always pretty frosty) but they can cozy up with fatherland front or Simeon II
19. Will anyone in the FF support a detente with Greece or some of the other balkan rivals?
19. All FF paths support this.
20. Is it really this impossible for Bulgaria to gain Thrace in the ITW?
20. Yes, they try, tentative plans are that Ciano ends up freaking out and thinking that the Reich is condoning an entrance into the war and the resulting war scare forces the Reich to tell Boris to back off or face punishment
21.Will Varna get a city description?
22.Will Plovdiv get a city description?
23.Will Burgas get a city description?
21, 22, 23: probably not to be honest, maybe Varna
24.Will the fascists/ratniks be able to get in power only through a countercoup?
24: this isn't made super clear in the leak unfortunately (and maybe I should have a stoyanov bio in to cement it) but the fascists are in power after Boris III leaves.
25.Will Italy try to influence shit like elections once FF get in power or will they be satisfied with a FF coup and leave them alone mostly?
25. Yes, intensely. Most italian leaders only really support one of the three groups in the Fatherland Front
26.What would Giani do in Bulgaria differently from the other fascists?
27.What would Balbo do in Bulgaria differently from the other fascists?
28.What would Mutti do in Bulgaria differently from the other fascists?
29.What would Pavolini in Bulgaria differently from the other fascists?
26 - 29: Muti is probably the most interesting, since he'd accept the radical left-wing branch of Zveno more than the rest. Others, especially Pavolini, are much less accepting of the civil left-wing branch of Zveno and will push it towards conservative militarists (and also Dimo Kazasov, in case you're interested). I need to discuss with Pikeman but I'm not even certain Giani would accept any Zveno faction period.
30.Will there be a difference between Speer's and Bormann's approach to Bulgaria?
30. A little, Speer wants the safer UNBL while Bormann doesn't have as much of a preference between the fascist parties
31. Will the USA have any events relating to Bulgaria other than world news?
31. Yes, it should have 1 at least (unless tortle bullies me)
32.Will Japan have any events relating to Bulgaria other than world news?
32. Yes, it should have 1 at least
33. How will the other monarchs be able to get in power?
33. I'm not sure if I want to reveal it just yet, but let's just say that the Bulgarian monarchy can suffer a series of both frustrations and tragedies
34.You said something about a conservative BANU - can you elaborate more on that?
34. BANU was a complicated organization, and irl it split into a leftist wing and a conservative wing, with the leftists organizing under the Fatherland Front and the conservatives attempting a separate resistance under Gemeto. Gemeto's wing still lives in TNO, and if the Agrarians take power it is the greatest force towards actually restoring democracy (at the cost of being less reformist)
35.Will Bulgaria ever get content?
35. :itisamystery:
36. Is there a big migrant worker diaspora in Italy/Germany?
36. not really
37.Are Bulgarian Jews really screwed or somewhat screwed as of the start date? How will that change depending on the outcome?
37. largely they're in Israel, but some remain (and some were, unfortunately, killed). Pomaks, Turks, and Roma are under more immediate threat in Bulgaria, with Roma especially repressed for decades.
38. What is the tourism industry in Bulgaria like? I assume its the most accessible and cheapest place gernan tourists can actually go to the beach/sea holiday properly.
38. Pretty nice place for a german to visit - Varna is definitely a tourism hotspot, given its basically the most southern RP observer that remains (and isn't an unsafe colony)
39. Will econ stuff for Bulgaria be reworked in any way?
39. not planning to, but testing might change their economy some
40. Will Greece support anyone in particular themselves or just whoever Italy supports?
40. Democratic Greece wants a democratic outcome and Red Greece supports the FF, but it's not a great enough power to exert strong influence on its own. In 1962, I'm pretty sure its economy is weaker than Bulgaria, actually
41. Will there be funny debug options like the milk tap guy in Uruguay?
41. I hope!
42. What will be the name of the libdem, ultranat and esonat parties in Bulgaria if console is used?
42. more a question for a contrib, hopefully something silly for esonaz
43. What are Bulgaria's main exports in TNO?
43. Economic development is something I need to read more into.
44. Will Bulgaria military be made bigger so it reflects reality better?
44. Probably, yeah. I still need to make the OOB but it should be weak but fairly large.
45. Which outcome would strengthen the military the most?
45. Best outcome for the military by far is the monarchy remaining. In any other outcome the reforms are never completed and much of the army is fired or resigns.
46. Will there be any world news events about something cultural/musical/film/whatever from Bulgaria becoming world famous?
46. No, really trying to cut down on world events. (though there might be some events about the bulgarian women's choir, which I'm a personal fan of and is roughly in the same time period)
47. Is the already pretty large bulgarian diaspora in Chicago and california be larger or smaller? Same for South America.
47. maybe a little smaller, but more important is that its leaders (except Gemeto) are in Bulgaria, so it's a bit different as a community
48. Will Macedonia be able to pull a paraguay and declare on everyone it has cores on?
48. Probably not in TNO1... but it's not off the table
49. Will there be a larp path of any kind for bulgaria or something close to it? Maybe ratnik shenanigans?
49. Larp will occur, Stoyanov for example believed bulgarians were all huns and that their slavic ancestry a myth
50. What bulgarian outcome would you describe as most wholesome?
50. I'd say conservative Agrarians winning in the Fatherland Front is the most wholesome to me personally, but the best is Simeon creating a constituional monarchy.
51. Will the socdem party be able to get into power?
yes! electable in 72, but they're a fun group
52.Wait, how many elections will be there and what will be their outcomes?
okay, this is all basically the last thing to plan for obvious reasons, and I'm not even sure it'll be in the skeleton proper because it's a bunch of extra work to set up for paths you'll see for a few months at most (excepting 68 american presidents I guess). But tentatively, I'm hoping that in 1972 you can have elections in the FF path (which come between Agrarians, a liberal youth party, and SocDems) and elections in the Simeon path (between the existing government and anti-government democrats and agrarians)
53 What would you like to include in proper Bulgaria content?
53. I hope proper content will include a lot of inner-court drama. I haven't mentioned much of that but there are many figures in the court who are interesting and their connections and story will be fun, I think.
54. What would you like for Bulgaria to be able to do in TNO2?
54. I'd like it to be able to do a lot of things. One thing I really hope to see (if it's at all possible) is the left-wing agrarians be able to influence agrarian movements all over the world, like Stamboliyski always wanted. That would be really interesting, I think.
