Why are US republicans so irrelevant in this mod?
I get that Republicans are not as powerful as in our timeline, due to NPP but that doesn't explain why they are so underwhelming. Democrats are shown as freedom lovin but still stable party under LBJ or Hart, Nationalists have great events related to wallace and later radicalisation into Yockey, progressives have RFK and his fight for justice, and Republicans? I mean who even play as Bennett, Goldwater or Romney, all of them feels like placeholder. Republican presidents in this mod have no content, no interesting events, nothing. Was it so hard to write some funny event about Goldwater wanting to nuke Afrika Volkstaat that gives him massive popularity boost? I will give my left kidney to anyone who can show me one unforgetable event about Republican politics. Don't even get me started on Nixon, devs managed to turn most interesting US president into "foreign policy tutorial" for players before starting real game in 1964. Heck even Romney "moral crusade" could be great theme for writers to hit on, but no, instead we get some boring pro union laws and that's it, meanwhile Kirkpatrick is great written female bush, pumping CIA to another level, couping everyone and fighting for liberty with napalm.

Had this for a while but didn't post it, my take on the "tno in 2000s" concept.

Why does Germany care about bombing West Africa?
No. Seriously. Literally why would they invest millions (potentially billions) of dollars over decades into bombing West Africa. What do they gain from that. The mod says (in very obvious sarcasm) that it's "pilot training", but it's clearly intended to serve some sort of material purpose.
West Africa in TNO is a backwater even without the terror bombings. West Russia I can completely understand, because Germany would want to ensure constantly that Russia can't rebuild any substantial or lasting infrastructure. West Africa poses literally no threat to Germany. Even if you WERE to say that it posed a threat, the only nation which borders the German colonies is Cameroon. Why not just like, you know. Only bomb Cameroon.
