It is being ran as a council republic, with social democrats in charge (ew I know)

But everyone lives well, not exploiting any countries for it and am fairly peaceful. Only one war with norway really.

    How were you able to get enough resources to industrialize without colonizing? I can’t imagine Sweden has that many natural resources (and presumably zero oil and rubber in particular).

      I have zero colonies. I import oil from germany as it has a lot of it. And rubber I am pretty much always on short supply of but there is a communist country in Africa I get some from.

      I don’t really know why I am doing so well this time around. I am usually terrible at the game. lol

        It’s possible they’ve finally gotten the AI to extract resources. That was always the old issue; you couldn’t import oil or rubber because nobody had any.

          They allow you to invest in foreign countries now, and so you can develop the resources yourself if you want. You do need diplomatic treaties for it IIRC

            Ah right, I don’t have the DLC so I could still only do it through protectorates, which wasn’t great. I assume those foreign countries also have to have the goods to support railways to export, which is probably a problem.
