For those who don't play paradox games or Hearts of Iron 4, I did a difficult achievement, which is starting as communist china and proclaiming the People's republic of china. You have to fight an uphill battle starting from a single province. I managed to consolidate, drive out the japanese, and turn on the Kuomintang in a few years. This last year has been researching and preparing a naval invasion to fully defeat Japan. Of course, I had to keep Mao as the head, otherwise how could I really claim to have created the PRC?

Also, my manpower is hella low (18k) because I have 2.5% conscription and total mobilization, which gives a -3% recruitable population. I'll bump it to 5% conscription and have several million to spare, no problem.

I wish I had the determination to figure out this game

Eventually it clicks. It def took me a while but it’s really a curve, once a few things fall into place all the systems fall into place too. It does take a little while for sure though, but then it’s fun cause you can do shit like this. I plan on destroying America in this run.

Hell yeah, HOI4 + Stellaris is a great combo. You can start with HOI then take your communist revolution to spaaaaccceee!

There are a lot of expansions there for HOI4. Do you need them all? Can it be pirated, or are there regular updates?

Get the ones that apply to the countries you like. I bought “Waking the tiger” for a few bucks for this run, took me a couple tries and maybe 10 odd hours in total, worth the cost. There’s expansions for the Spanish civil war, yugoslavia, etc which are all fun communist play throughs.
