The challenge is to play as France and restore Napoleon's power. We will have to take all the land he ruled, puppet everyone he puppeted, and defeat his enemies. That means we need to take the Benelux, parts of Italy, parts of Yugoslavia, a bit of Spain and a chunk of Germany. We will also need to puppet a few countries and defeat the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union. Unfortunately the game does not allow you to bring in a descendant or relative of Napoleon to rule France, but hopefully we can bring back his spirit.
Rules:
- Play as France
- Restore all the posessions of the French Empire under Napoleon
- Do NOT annex anything else
- Puppet everyone France had as a client state then
- More puppets are allowed
- Defeat UK and USSR
- Ironman
What did I do wrong, what did I do right? What should my next challenge be, if any. Let me know in the comments.

As Liberia you must puppet the US as a democracy. You can puppet someone under a different ideology, change said ideology to democracy, then puppet the us. Liberia is under the radar unlike Afghanistan so you won't get demonotized.

You should revisit this challenge. Napoleon's return from Elba: Starting in 1939, capitulate as France but maintain your holdings in Corsica (or Africa, if Corsica isn't possible). Invade Vichy France to signify your return from Elba, rebuild the Grand Armee, and defeat the Axis (specifically Germany who would represent Prussia and Austria), the Comintern (specifically the Soviet Union who would represent Tsarist Russia), and the Allies (specifically the United Kingdom who represents themselves). Mainland forces (units starting in or created in continental Europe) must remain in the mainland.

It feels really good to fulfill a request about the man who liberates your country eh, Taureor? I shall request again my challenge for the next month. 1. Play as Dutch East Indies 2. Break the chains by undergoing a communist civil war 3. Reform the Thalassocracy 4. Liberate the whole South East Asia including East Timor, Burma, and Mandalay 5. Form the "SEA Commune" faction with the whole SEA Rules: - Ironman Mod, Regular difficulty, and Historical AI Focuses - You can first join the Comintern if you feel didn't strong enough - You also may help Thai People's Repulic to Strenghten the Rattanakosin Heritage by giving them Indochina. Just make Myanmar by giving Burma and Mandalay to any stateless Indochinese country tags such as Laos or Vietnam. Give East Timor to Indonesia or make it a separate country by giving it to statelss Indochinese country tags too - Release the video on November 12th 2018 Have fun. November 12th is less than a month from now. I believe you can do this since you can make Tannu Tuva annex the Soviet Union.

Man, it should be specific because there are currently 10 countries in South East Asia, while there's only 7 nation tags there: Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Philippines, and Thailand. There's no Burma tag. So, Burma and Mandalay should be managed by another tag. Laos and Cambodia have tags, both states are needed by Thailand to Strenghten the Rattanakosin Heritage, so Cambodia can manage Mandalay and Burma as 'Myanmar'. Vietnam aren't needed by Thailand, we can make them their own country with 2 states: Tonkin and Southern Indochina. About East Timor, either it gets annexed to Soviet Islands of Indonesia, or Laos should manage it as 'Timor Leste'. There's no Brunei and Singapore state, only Malay Peninsula (which is named Singapore) and North Borneo. Well, both are certainly annexed though as a part of my challenge for Taureor.... So the states at the end results are: Democratic Majapahit Socialist Republic, Rattanakosin Socialist State, East Timor (managed by Lao People's Democratic Republic), Myanmar (managed by People's Republic of Cambodia), Huk Community of Philippines, and Democratic Republic of Vietnam.

November 12th is celebrated as Indonesian Anti-Colonialism Day in my country. The origin of the day is from the first nation-wide rebellion against Dutch Colonial Government by Communist Party of Indonesia in November 12th 1926. That's why i want Taureor to make DEI independent first by undergoing a communist civil war before liberate the whole SEA from those imperialists. And that's why i narrow down the upload day. But if Taureor didn't want to, well, it's okay. It's his right to fully accept my challenge.

1. Puppet Laos and Cambodia when the peace conference come 2. Pray the Soviets didn't take Mandalay, Burma, and East Timor in the next turn 3. If the Soviets didn't, give Mandalay and Burma to Cambodia, then East Timor to Laos Note: I hope it's easy for him. Because i just want him to drive off any colonizer from South East Asia. Indonesia did not have to directly annex more land beyond British Malaya. The war score should be more than enough.
I like how you're going with the historical borders with this one keep going.
I like that the ENTIRE video he was running low on manpower but absolutely destroy every country he fought
The British actually agreeing to joining you in the early war against Germany for the militarization of the Rhineland is actually a super rare event and most of the time they reject to rally behind you.

A much better idea would be the Scramble for Asia - play as any European country with a unique focus tree, go monarchist, create your own faction/keep your existing one (so no joining the Chinese United Front or GEACPS and Order 66ing China/Japan) puppet/ally with all other European countries that had colonial empires (i.e., UK, France, Spain - if he wanted to use a mod that gave a country that currently doesn't have one a focus tree for this challenge, he is more than welcome to), and conquer all of Asia (excluding Mongolia) that isn't already taken by the European colonial powers (the Chinese warlords, Japan, Siam, Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, and Japan's two Chinese puppets), dividing the land up between your allies/puppets (everyone has to take land directly - you can keep existing puppets as is, but no puppeting new countries; i.e., he could keep the Raj whole, but he cannot puppet China). Considering he hasn't touched the King's Party path for the UK, I could see that being a good idea (he'd only need to puppet Spain and France; he could join the Axis), or he could go for Macau My Day on a large scale
Sir, it appears the rest of our forces have capitulated everyone we were fighting against. Taureor: Time to beat up someone else
30:18 Yes, The area is now called Bangladesh and it has a majority muslim population, reason why they wanted to be away from India after the Raj was dissolved. I believe it was released as a part of Pakistan but soon broke away as an independent nation due to it's distance from the rest of Pakistan.

With Greece having them as an ally is great as they always seem to invade half way round the world. In one of my games I was playing as Germany and the Soviets were very powerful so it was a stalemate. Then Greece who was Italy’s puppet launched a naval invasion in the Caucasus and Siberia allowing the Axis to pump divisions into those landing spots and only 5 months later the Soviets capitulated.

30:21 Yes Pakistan (here called the Mughal Empire due to the fact that they were sorta the de facto proto Pakistani nation) did originally have Bangladesh because it was another Muslim part of India. Pakistan was meant to be for the Muslim Indians after India separated from Britain, and India was meant for the Hindus mostly, but also other related groups such as the Sikhs. It is for this reason that there used to be a 'west Pakistan' (modern Pakistan), and 'east Pakistan' (Bangladesh). Bangladesh later got Independence however due to largely logistical errors caused by the odd separation, among other issues.
I laughed my ass off when I saw the giant Finland and you realized you forgot they were still al war with USSR. 😂😂😂
