Mexico – 3 Annual Spending Points
All the other nations of North America, save aggressive Canada (which is in the process of being dismembered) are part of the Treaty of United Americas, so Mexico has considerable autonomy of action. There are alliances on other continents that would desperately like Mexico’s help.
Inca Republic – 4 Annual Spending Points
Currently in a war with half of Europe after seizing the Guianas (and doing quite well for itself), the fascist Inca Republic is probably the most characterful NPC in the game right now, is quite rich to boot, and, if it can manage to make peace with the colonialists, has an opportunity to plow through South America.
Brazil – 3 Annual Spending Points
Brazil currently has a Marxist rebellion in its Northeast, and the area around Manaus is sympathetic to the Incan ideology, so Brazil is more of a challenge option.
Union of Patagonia – 3 Annual Spending Points
Patagonia is Brazil’s opposite number. Currently in talks to join United Americas, though a PC could pull out of that. A boring nation, really, but it might be good for a newbie or a builder.
Union of South Africa – 2 Annual Spending Points
A super challenge option, South Africa is shadowed by the huge communist USACS to the north, and its Afrikaaner government is experiencing significant unrest. But the current NPC regime is trying to ensure some measure of safety by joining up with the European alliance, with lukewarm positive responses so far. (And that last point wasn’t public on my NES yet, so if you’re in the game and you’re reading, you just learned something)
Ethiopia – 3 Annual Spending Points
A monarchy. Not in any alliances. No real threats. No notable national ideology yet. A blank slate.
United Arab Republic of Egypt – 5 Annual Spending Points
The big dog of the NPCs. Currently needs to make some sort of peace deal with the mostly-defeated Meccan Order (crusaders who managed to last a looong time), and probably should firm up its alliance with Iran, but then again, maybe not.
Romania – 1 Annual Spending Point
A buffer. The NPC regime already invested one ASP into growing economy (3 are needed for a surefire boost) but honestly, this one’s worse off than South Africa.
Balt Confederacy – 3 Annual Spending Points
Holds Moscow right now, and probably will gain considerable territory in the Russian peace once that country’s AWOL player is confirmed gone next update. Also a republic in the communist alliance, so there’s that.
Indian Union – 3 Annual Spending Points
This was Karalysia’s creation, but he left. It’s allied with China. It hasn’t really done anything yet, but it’s probably going to get in a war with Iran soon.
The Free States of Siam – 4 Annual Spending Points
Only nation in the game with a fresh start backstory, but the player who came up with it also left. Currently ambiguous about its position in the Chinese-Japanese war to the north, and quite possibly positioned to be the decider in that fight.
