• Updated the mod to the HOI4 patch 1.9.1 Beta.
  
• Updated the "Divided Germany" startup rule.
  
• Updated the "Commit to Defending Spain" focus for the mod's Soviet Focus tree so that SPR gets a free basic tank brigade and a lot of surplus out of the deal rather than a shitty auto-lend-lease.

• Changed China's starting scenario again to fix the 2nd Sino-Japanese war's balance.

• A big chunk of Nationalist China's divisions now have to be called up by decisions that cost command power. Warlords that control the states they are based in can also gain control of these forces, if they were not already mustered.
  
• Japan has 90 days after starting a war with China where they can go hog-wild without the starting debuffs.
  
• Japan's "Intervene in China" focus gives them control of Shanghai once completed, forcing the war's fronts into more than just northern China at the start as historically happened.
  
• China can break the yellow river dikes if they have taken the Scorched Earth Tactics focus, creating a new line of defensive terrain. For a price.
  
• The Sichuan Clique does not exist at game start: its territories are controlled by Nationalist China, and most of its armies are off-map until CHI gets in a war.

• Added a new optional rule that removes the starting military factory for the most minor of minor nations. This should help to reduce division spam as they will need to go down the generic focus tree to build more military factories.
  
• Altered the "divided Germany" optional rule to instead use the new puppet nations in the La Resistance French focus tree.
  
• Added a new alternate-history game rule that unifies Australia and New Zealand at game start into the single nation of Australasia. (The nation uses the Australia focus tree.)

• Added Kurdistan as a releasable nation.
  
• Added Danzig Free State as a releasable nation.
  
• Added a hispanic real-world Andalusia as a releasable nation (as opposed to the EU4 Scenario's Andalusia).

• Hungarian division names now have consistent capitalization.
  
• The AI for the Chinese tags now acts a little more as intended now.
  
• The Soviets are less likely to invade Poland before Germany does, especially on Historical.
  
• Xikang can re-brand itself as the Sichuan Clique if Liu Wenhui reconquers Sichuan.
  
• Hebei-Chahar can re-brand itself as the Dongbei Clique if it survives and expands south or north.
  
• Democratic Australia and New Zealand have alternate republican flags on independence.
  
• Gave Australia and New Zealand a decision to form Australasia if either tag controls both.

• China's (and the Guangxi Clique's) German-trained divisions now have one extra infantry battalion as originally intended.
  
• CH1 is now the Hebei-Chahar council at game start instead of the entire Dongbei Clique. They can become the Dongbei Clique if Nationalist China beefs it enough.
  
• Removed the factories from Hunan and Changde states.
  
• Pruned down Nationalist China's list of vassals: Shanxi, Guangxi, and Yunnan are all independent at the 1936 start.
  
• The Spanish field marshal José Asensio Torrado now still exists as a general for the Republicans if La Resistance is enabled.
  
• Gave Spain Great War Tanks at game start.
  
• Took away Great War Tanks from Nationalist China, Communist China, and the Guangxi Clique.
  
• USA starts with 1933 Light Tanks.
  
• Poland now starts with 1933 Light Tanks.
  
• France starts with a heavy tank brigade template in 1936.
  
• France's Maginot and Alpine line infantry start with their own unit template.
  
• Italy's CC.NN. (Blackshirt) militia divisions start with their own unit template.

• Fixed the constant spamming for the "buy time for Anti-Stalin Coup" mission even after the civil war starts.
  
• Fixed Trotsky continuously trying to return to the USSR.

• Updated the Soviet Union Focus Tree, with an emphasis on giving players more decisions and options than the base game tree.
  
• There are now two main political paths for the Soviets to take: Stalin's Great Purge, or taking on the role of the communist opposition and organizing a civil war similar to the one Germany can have. Both paths require you to work against the clock to increase the strength of your position, but only Stalin is able to avert civil war entirely.
  
• After the civil war you have the option to either choose to have the Left Opposition with Trotsky or the Right Opposition with Martemyan Ryutin take control of the USSR.
  
• The Soviet Political Trees have been significantly expanded, allowing for multiple paths of either aggressive or defensive play.
  
• Updated the Custom Game Rules so that the Soviet AI can go down either the Stalinist, Trotskyist, or Right-Bolshevik paths.

• Fixed the error where South Africa does not correctly spawn the right civil war on the Democratic path.
  
• Dongbei Clique should now correctly prefer to side with Nationalist China when historical mode is turned on.

• Added a new rule / start-up option that shatters Germany into 4 regional countries (not counting Austria).
  
• Added a new rule / start-up option that annexes Shandong and the Sichuan Clique into Nationalist China in the 1936 start.

• Added German Prussia / Danzig Free State (tag GPR), Bavaria (tag BAV), and Siberia (tag SIB) as nation tags.
  
• Changed the color of Fascism to be slightly brown-er and less red.
  
• Falangism is renamed to Integralism, as Falangism before its Francoist merger with the Carlists was much closer to Italian-style fascists than to what falangism later was defined as, and we needed a generalized name for clerical/theocratic fascism.
  
• Added Military Socialism, Supremacism, and Colonialism as sub-ideologies for Communism, Fascism, and Non-Aligned, respectively.
  
• Altered the in-game descriptions of Oligarchism, Centrism, Fascism, Rexism, Nazism, and Fal-er, Integralism to be more consistent when comparing and contrasting against each other.

• Tobolsk (580), Surgut (577), Yeniseisk (576), and Kirensk (575) are all impassible states, causing a more narrow Siberian front in play.
  
• Added VP to Tomsk (578) and oil from Surgut.
  
• Lima now correctly has city terrain rather than to its north.

• Siberia has several White Russian emigres who were putzing around in Manchuria and Japan as starting generals.

• Bern is now the capital of Switzerland.
  
• Egypt is no longer a puppet of the United Kingdom, but has a lot of military access and other treaties with them. They still hate each other's guts but can't really go to war over it.
  
• Iran and Iraq now have most of their oil "voluntarily leased" to the United Kingdom, giving the Axis actual historical shortage issues.
  
• Added historical generals and field marshals to Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia, and Paraguay. Some of them are also the rulers of their respective countries and are ID'd as #100-112.
  
• Changed Paraguay's starting ideology to Non-Aligned.
  
• Rafael Franco is now also the Non-Aligned leader for Paraguay in the 1936 start, as the Febrerista revolution started off as a very eclectic mix of anti-parliamentary groups.
  
• José Sorzano is now also the Democratic leader for Bolivia.
  
• Added Germán Busch as the Fascist leader of Bolivia.
  
• Adjusted Bolivia's starting politics.
  
• Changed Liberia's ruling ideology to Non-Aligned.
