* [[Adolf Hitler]]: Died as a soldier in [[World War I]] in this timeline. His memoirs during the war have been collected among others, and released as a book called [[Historical In-Joke|Mein Kampf]]. It even gets made into an epic war movie.

* [[American Civil War]]: A new one is a big event in the game. Between the Federal Government (Which may or may not be lead by a military coup headed by General MacArthur), the [[Deep South|American Union State]] lead by Huey Long, Jack Reed's [[Punny Name|Combined Syndicates of America]] trying to wrest control of all America, there's the Pacific States of America that want to secede, [[And Zoidberg|and Hawaii]].

* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]: The Synicalist International view on royals. Can be averted depending on in-game choices.

* [[Balkanize Me]]: As is in the Vanilla Game, China is divided into several factions, though there are two less. This is also the case with Russia (1 major, 2 minors and 11 peripheral states), India (3 states), Italy (2) and Austria-Hungary (6 states, all but Austria proper semi-autonomous territories).

** Balkanization is a major goal in most of the major war events in the game. A Brazilian victory in the Platinean War can divide La Plata into Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The U.S.A depending on the results of the Second American Civil War can have New England and the Pacific States secede. Also possible with whoever wins in the inevitable Germany/France war; Germany possibly dividing into Bavaria, the Rhenish Republic, the North German Federation, and Prussia if the Synditern wins. And France divided into Normandy, Brittany, Occitania, and central France itself if Germany is victorious.

* [[Luck-Based Mission]]: Some of the nations can count as this. All the nations that can profit off of the Austria-Hungary war for example, if the war chooses to fire or not.

* [[Magikarp Power]]: Out of all three main alliances the Entente starts off the weakest. All of its starting members face the possibility of being overthrown or leaving the alliance, and most of its potential members (like the US or Russians) are more likely to end up joining one of the other factions. However with the right events it's possible to end up with a democratic US, Russia, Republican China, unified India, and have all the former British Dominions rejoin/stay and end up with truly unstoppable force.

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Baron Roman von Ungern-Sternberg, the appropriately named [[Evil Overlord|Mad]] [[Evil Is Cool|Baron]] [[The Horde|of Mongolia.]]

** It's safe to say all National Populist nations are basically this.

** Totalists are this for Communists.

* [[One Nation Under Copyright]]: Allgemeine Ostasiatische Gesellschaft, Germany's colony in southern China. The Syndicalist point of view is that all capitalist countries are this.

** Legally speaking, the AOG isn't a German colony. That doesn't really weaken the point though, since what it ''is'' is a German corporation that effectively governs half of the de jure Qing Empire.

* [[Pet the Dog]]: It's possible to be ''extremely'' lenient to defeated enemies if the player so chooses - playing as the victorious White Russians, for example, one of the choices given fairly early on provides the option to formally recognize the local Soviet councils and essentially integrate the defeated Reds peacefully into the government.

* [[Putting on the Reich]]: The Integralists in Brazil, as in [[Real Life]]. Wrangel's Russian Ultranationalists can also count.

* [[Red Scare]]: The Syndicalist Internationale is this, and should the Combined Syndicates win the Second American Civil War, it could become this in particular.

* [[Rightful King Returns]]: ''Numerous'' examples. Serbia and Russia for example, can both have their monarchs return by event.

* [[Shown Their Work]]: The mod has a ton of nods to real history, along with being based on an incredibly plausible [[Alternate History]].

* [[Shout-Out]]: Many. Just for example, Poland's text for the end of the Olympics is 'Poland cannot into Olympics,' a play on a popular Paradox forum meme.
