4. Can the Ukrainian economy become self-sufficient or profitable under a Collab gov
4 Yes, though Heerema is the one who makes Ukraine really profitable
5. Will there be a German Democrat like in Ostland?

6 Speer - Leibbrandt or Ohlendorf; Bormann - Ohlendorf or Heerema; Goring - TBD for the rework; Heydrich - TBD for the rework

8 Yes, 3 parties/coalitions
9. What are the most pressing issues for a successor in Ukraine?

11 No
Can we get more info on klyachkivsky?

other peoples' questions
would Red Ukraine after invasion be instable hell for germans through entire tno2 and tno3?
TBD but it would definitely be so for TNO1
Since Ukraine won't be viably able to stop Germany, do the paths even have any foreign policy decisions/trees?
yes some paths will try to negotiate and some paths will interact with their neighbors
all partisan factions will invade Gotenland and the Republic and UPA will both seek to gain Galicia (U-SSR is TBD atm)
What about Romanian Ukraine?
Klyachkivsky will invade to try to take Odessa
Weren't Ukrainians made native police force in GG?
in Galicia yes, there are some Ukrainian police there
Will they side UPA or Reich?
he UPA has lost most of their collab allies by 1962
so they'd mostly stand by the Reich
the Republic and UPA overpower most of them in their revolts in Galicia when the UCW starts
Will the OFN in any way try to interact with and help Ukraine?
no inviting Ukraine to the OFN but sending covert aid through the CIA might be possible, would need to talk to the US lead for details
What happens to the other parties in collab republic ukraine? do they get purged/criminalise/integrated into the colabs?
if they are openly anti-German they would be face a mix of the first two
What, from the perspective of the Reich, is the absolute worst that can happen in Ukraine?
they put up some of the most effective resistance to the Reich
What, from the perspective of the Reich, is the absolute worst that can happen in Ukraine?
Communists
they put up some of the most effective resistance to the Reich
Military resistance or will there be a something like a national spirit post ukranian reintegration showing the partisan activity?
lore-wise a massive insurgency, in-game probably a natspirit and debuffs to the economy and such
Just wondering.
Let's say, hypothetically, all of former Eastern European quasi-colonial states get back under German control without severe bloodshed (I.E diplomatic talks and so forth). Would resistance be low but growing, or would it be high? Let's say the most democratic/idealistic elements manage to prevail in each three of the regions and Speer is following a Reformist/Middle ground stance. Would they all bend the knee conditionally or would they still be crushed?
Republic paths besides the AuthDems can't negotiate any deal that is remotely decent. For resistance there'd be less since the governments wouldn't be genocidal towards the majority of the population but it'd still exist
Can any of the Reichskommissars successfully pacify Ukraine in tno1?
Brautigam can't make resistance disappear but in the best case scenario for him he can reduce is significantly
Does the Ukrainian Diaspora have any preference between the different factions of Ukraine?
What level of education do most Ukrainians receive? Is it still Secondary School like during the Soviet Union.
1 Most prefer the Republic
2 Very little if any
will Heerema bring people from the netherlands to form the administration or will he use the germans or collabs already in ukraine ?
Heerema's administration is made up of NOC members, some collabs from the Netherlands and Flanders, and Germans and collabs already in Ukraine who are willing to work with him
What's Hereema's endgame?

3 Yes
Does Ukraine always accept Schorner integrating them?
Do any of the Fuhrer’s have any unique opinion on Ukraine?

Are the majority of Ukrainians literate at least?
Is Ukraine’s economy mostly agricultural, consumer or industrial?
What is the border between Gotenland and Ukraine like? Can any German cross it easily? What about the Slavs?
1 I don't know enough about Nazi education policy in Ukraine to say
2 Agricultural
3 All RKs are part of Germany, so any German could cross the border pretty easily. Slavs however, would mostly be going out of Gotenland against their will to further Gotenland's Germanization

Sid McMath's questions
1Does Heerema have any allies in the Reich?
1 Not really, he's a nobody in the Reich's politics for the most part
2Is any Netherlands leader ally of Heerema?
2 No
3Does his company operate in other RKs?
3 The NOC is primarily focused on Ukraine by 1962, it's Ostland, Moskowien, and Kaukasia branches are basically nonexistent after the WRW
4Will Heerem integrate crimea into his RK?
4 No, Heerema is desperate to try to get the Reich to not think of him as a traitor for his attempted coup against the RK and annexing Gotenland would make him look like a traitor even more
5Would he try to establish informal practice of selling people to other RKs or Reich?
5 No, Heerema tries to keep his "employees" in Ukraine as much as he can so they can work for him to maximize profits
6What is Heerema’s attitude towards collabs?
6 If they are loyal to him and help keep their fellow Ukrainians in chains he's willing to have collabs
7Would Heerem want to add Galicia to his RK ?
7 No, again like Gotenland Heerema wants to appear as "clean" and "legal" as possible
8Will Heerema build concentration camps?
8 No, Heerema wants to change slavery to be a little more sustainable + concentration camps don't really work for agricultural slavery which is a big business for the NOC
9Is he the Ukraine leader most like by the Megacorps?
9 Not really, he makes megacorp activity in Ukraine (except for his megacorp) much harder
10Does Heerema like Vladimir Gil?
10 Doesn't care
11Will Heerema employ Ohlendorf ?
11 No, still need to figure out what I want to do with him

12 No, not profitable
13Does Heerema’s RK have more population than OUN’s Ukraine?
13 TBD
14What would Heerema think about furer Schorner?
14 Wouldn't be a fan since he gets annexed
15Is he the one that promotes german settlers to come to the Ukraine the most?

16 Would Heerema order to surround villages with barbed wire or sth like that?
16 No
17Would he try to deurbanize Ukraine?

17 No, he wants to begin industrializing
18 ^
19 Is slave revolt in his Ukraine the biggest possible one?
19 TBD
20 Would he divided Ukraine into fiefs for his guys?
20 TBD atm but if I find enough guys (it's surprisingly hard to find NOC members especially when it takes almost an hour to find out their full names since the biography I've been reading only lists their initials and their last names) I might consider it
21 Would he just make Ukraine some sort of state run entirely by NOC?
yes the Volksdirektorat he establishes is merely a front to make his rule more legitimate
22 will he employ most of bureaucrauts working previosuly for Rk?
he'll integrate most of the RK's bureaucracy and repurpose it to further his interests
23 Would he make special zones for tourists?
23 TBD
24Which branches of industry would he promote the most?
24 I'm planning for him to focus on producing agricultural equipment and other equipment to allow the NOC to function as self-sufficiently as possible
25Would he sell products to Pakt countries(like england or france) and outside the Pakt?
25 Yes, he wants access to as many customers as possible
26 Would he abolish schools?
26 No, the settlers still need education. Ukrainians, however, will not receive any education beyond what's necessary for them to do their jobs
27 Does Heerema think about all other natsos subids(esonaz, reformed,indiosyncratic) that they are just unprofitable and stupid?
27 He doesn't think they are necessarily stupid but he believes his approach to colonialism is the best
28 So he would be more than happy to sell his goods to Pavolini’s Italy?
28 Yes, if he can
29Woul his Ukraine become the leading producer of sole fertilizers, tractors etc.?
29 It could
30Would his policies led to deterioration of ukrainian soil and then hunger?
30 Possibly
Heerema got off with a 2 year prison sentence for his Waffen SS membership and collaboration and walked free since he already served those years by the time he was sentenced
