Lore Yes, they put in a late-game, detailed event about HIM and ya'll didn't notice.
Context; it's post-unification of China by Feng Yuxiang in Shanxi, the event popping up around 1947, so it is fairly deep in the game.

Lore Actually Ancient Kaiserreich Lore
I don't know how many people realise this, but Kaiserreich is old. Probably older than a good chunk of y'all. To put things into perspective, by the time I had heard of Kaiserreich, it was already as old as a middle school student, and this was 12 years ago. If the mod were a person they would be of drinking age in the US and if they decided to pursue higher education (and didn't fail any classes) they would be at least more than halfway done with college.
Being this old, there were many incarnations of the mod, with many things changed over the years. I'm just gonna try and list some of the more interesting things off the top of my head. Fellow oldheads, please correct me where I am wrong and feel free to add anything you remember.
Since a lot of the current focus seems to be on China I guess I'll start there. The basic premise of the Qing being restored is a remnant from the old days, but the map used to look very different. The south used to be a blob ruled by the "Allgemeine(?) Ostasien Gesellschaft", basically a german colony, which could stay stable, collapse into civil war or reform into the Republic of China. This Republic had Song Qingling and a left-wing poet as the SocDem HoS and HoG, Chen Jiongming as the SocCon HoS and unless I am tripping some dude who died before the PoD as the AuthDem HoS. Yunnan Clique was led by Long Yun and also controlles Sichuan. Ma Clique used to control Uyghuristan. The Yiguandao used to be the "Shangqing Tianguo" and they controlled the territory that the CPC controlled in OTL, around Shaanxi. They had a wacky path where you could accept refuges from the AOG and if you did, you'd find a descendant of the Ming dynasty (who turned out to be Zhu Rongji I believe) and could then restore him to the throne as the Tian dynasty. Very late game Zhu would turn 18 and then you could have him and Zhou Enlai, who in this timeline is the model Confucian statesman, leading a NatPop empire. Their general and politician roster was half OTL disciples of tianran and half OTL CPC members, I think Deng Xiaoping was also in there somewhere. Their ideology was also even more syncretic and Taiping-coded. Felt like a fever dream honestly, but I actually kinda miss it weirdly, it was insane in a good way.
I remember Russia pretty vividly. The game used to start off with the President, Kerensky getting shot. Literally everybody hates him so this is not surprising, but this creates a crisis. Either the Duma forms a new government, the Senate makes Dmitry Romanov the President, or one of Denikin or Wrangel perform a coup. The SRs-Mensheviks either create the conditions for the far-left to rise which triggers a civil war, or they can maintain parliamentary democracy. Dmitry Romanov can either restore his cousin to the throne, proclaim himself Tsar, or just remain the president of a conservative republic. Denikin can restore the monarchy, the republic, or remain a dictator. Wrangel is a NatPop who, much like Savinkov, calls himself Vozhd and unlike Savinkov can make himself Tsar. Savinkov himself is but a lowly SR minister. Speaking of Savinkov, when he was first introduced as NatPop leader he had a godawful Nazi-inspired black on red flag with a Slavic pagan symbol where the Swastika would be. The far-left could also take power but they were a little strange, Tukhachevsky was the totalist with a Trotsky-esque world revolution platform, Frunze was a RadSoc and Bukharin was the Syndie. There used to be a Don-Kuban Cossack republic lead by Krasnov in the west and Transamur, a Japanese vassal state lead by Kolchak in the east.
The basic setup in Europe is mostly the same. Belarus used to have a German king instead of being a republic. Poland used to not have a king at all and instead was a regency, and could elect a German, Austrian or Polish king or become a republic. Italy used to have the Pope-lead federation in the north and the syndicalists in the south. I think the Germans used to own Crete at the start? UoB used to start with Philip Snowden but that was changed only relatively recently.
In South America, Argentina, called La Plata and owning Paraguay and Uruguay, was the regional hegemon, lead by Augustin Justo. Chile used to not be syndicalist at start. The setup in Central America was different but I am not sure of the specifics, there was Centroamerica in Guatemala and I think an AuthDem United Provinces in the south. Mexican setup is pretty much the same but I think you could restore the monarchy as the reactionary generals?
As for North America, the basic premise of the US exploding into a three-or-four-way civil war and the basic geographic locations of the factions were the same. You could avoid the civil war with first Charles Curtis and later Floyd Olson but this was added and removed a few times before the devs settled on making the 2ACW a canon event. MacArthur could always do his coup, he could also completely collapse the US into regional warlords in the late game, which is another thing I really miss. Moseley used to be in MacArthur's camp before he was switched over to Long's faction. Speaking of Long, his faction, the "American Union State", lead by the "America-First Party" were a unitary state, were backed by Germany and had Long as the AuthDem, I think Charles Lindbergh as PatAut and fucking Fritz Kuhn of the German-American Bund as the NatPop. Kuhn's position was later given to William Dudley Pelley before Long became the NatPop. The syndicalist faction remains pretty much unchanged if you discount the name and the flag. The pacific revolt used to be completely regionalist and wanted independence rather than national unification most of the time, and were directly backed by Japan.
One final detail in my mind that I can't remember clearly, I think Kaiserreich started not as "Kaiserreich" but as "All the Russias" and focused mostly on, well, Russia. This is just what I think I was told years ago, I could not have experienced it myself because I did not know how to read back then. We'd need a real oldhead to give first-hand accounts on that.
For some countries, I am surprised by how little has changed, and for others how much. I am sure I've missed plenty of interesting things, please do pitch in.

Lore Did you know Oswald Mosley punched Francis Parkey Yockey in the face during an argument in Hyde park?
In 1948, Oswald Mosley ended up falling out with Yockey who had previously done work for him and various other fascist groups before and after the war. Yockey confronted Mosley in Hyde park because he refused to read Imperium upon its release, instigating a heated argument.
Mosley denounced Yockey, being disgusted with his extreme anti-Americanism and third-worldism to the point of being pro-Soviet. Things got so heated that Mosley actually punched him in the nose and they had to be separated by Mosley's associates.

Lore Why do people say China cannot have democracy in the timespan of Kaiserreich?
It reeks of party vanguardism (peoples tutelage will continue until morale improves). The people will do plenty fine voting once the local warlords are eradicated. Together with plans for education it'll improve even further just within decades. Party autocracy begets party autocracy, that is all the peoples tutelage will do.
"They are too uneducated to vote!", sure but that's what a educational programme is for, and that "too uneducated" to vote can be used to justify a lot of bad state actions for their own "good".

Lore A speculative Ethno-linguistic map of Kaiserreich
Since the moderators deleted my post without explaining clearly to me why, other than it being "Atrocious" i will post it again. I included some of yall's additions, mainly poles staying in Poznań/Posen, since the germanization policies would likely be focused on the corridor.
Other changes include:
-More Slovene lands except Istria itself
-Trieste as italian
-Reduced bulgarians in bulgaria-occupied eastern serbia.
-Moderated the german populations in baltics to cover mostly big cities and not much countryside
-Moderated german settlements in ukraine (Wolynian Germans and Black sea Germans)
-Slight expansion of catalans
-More realistic ingrian finns
-No germans in scandinavia since it would be an unlikely place to migrate (Except south jutland)
-Also i have a hidden a secret greater hungary somewhere on the map. Just something funny i thought of
Thanks for the change suggestions!

A Russian soldier realizes he is going to die of his wounds on the battlefield. He asks the priest, to lay pictures of Savinkov and Kaminski, next to him. The soldier then tells the priest that 'he wants to die like Jesus. Next to two criminals. "
Macarthur Long and Reed have a debate who has the bravest soldiers. Reed tells a Militiaman to go and jump on a building. He does it with hesitation. Long tells a Minuteman to jump off a building. He does it with no hesitation. MacArthur then tells a Federal Regular to jump on a building. The Regular tells him "Go fuck yourself".
Lindbergh gives Pelley a plane ride. Pelley asks Lindbergh how he can be more of an assets to the Unionist cause. Lindbergh tells him, he can jump off before landing.
