Kaiserreich Microstates

𝙳𝚎𝚜𝚌𝚛𝚒𝚙𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗

This Kaiserreich submod implements the various microstates of the Kaiserreich universe that exist in lore, yet, for mechanical reasons, do not exist on the in-game map. In total, this submod adds five new countries to the game:

• Andorra

• Liechtenstein

• Monaco

• San Marino

• Vatican City

I have gone to great lengths to ensure that all existing Kaiserreich lore has been taken into account during the creation of this submod. I have utilized all available sources of information, and have also corresponded with several KR devs in order to ensure my submod is as consistent with established Kaiserreich lore as possible. As such, only three of the five microstates exist on the map at game start: Andorra, Liechtenstein, and San Marino. Vatican City exists at game start as the Papal States, but can possibly be released in its microstate form after the Italian Civil War ends. Monaco has the potential to be released down the line if certain criteria are met.

As the KR devs have not released much lore regarding these nations, some liberties have been taken in order to flesh out aesthetics, political parties, national leaders, events, etc. In the case of the KR devs adding or altering lore in a future update, my submod will be updated to accommodate such changes. All original lore/flavor for this submod has been added in such a way to fit as seamlessly as possible.

While these new countries can technically be played if you so wish, I do not recommend doing so. They have not been implemented with the intention of being piloted by a player, and neither do they even have unique focus trees (they have the default focus tree). This submod has been made with the intention of adding them to the map to be interacted with, rather than played on their own. All five of the microstates have realistic, grounded diplomatic interactions with their neighbors that respond to the changing circumstances of the continent.

A quick explanation of what to expect from each microstate:

𝙰𝚗𝚍𝚘𝚛𝚛𝚊

Exists at game start. Will be annexed by the Commune of France upon the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. Can be reestablished by a non-Socialist Spain or Nationalist France if the Commune is defeated.

𝙻𝚒𝚎𝚌𝚑𝚝𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚒𝚗

Exists at game start. Will join Austria's faction and remain in their sphere until Austria nears capitulation. If criteria are met, Liechtenstein will jump ship and align with Switzerland. If Austria is annexed by Germany, Liechtenstein will willingly join the German Empire. Under certain conditions, their assets can also be seized.

𝙼𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚌𝚘

Does not exist at game start. Can be reestablished by Nationalist France if the Commune of France is defeated.

𝚂𝚊𝚗 𝙼𝚊𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚘

Exists at game start. Can be "peacefully" made into a puppet or annexed by the Socialist Republic of Italy or any Italian Civil War victor.

𝚅𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝙲𝚒𝚝𝚢

Exists at game start as the Papal States. Can be released as "Vatican City" by the victor of the Italian Civil War if certain criteria are met.

I fully release everything in this submod to be utilized by the KR devs in Kaiserreich if they so desire, please just notify me if this is the case.
