Günthersreich has been added to Kiwi Universalis, I'm still waiting for a bit more information on Thatcherreich before fully implementing it.

For the flag I'd have the BUF flag (Union Jack with the bolt, not the red one) but with the lightning bolt replaced with Maggie's Face, and as for the leadership I'd get as close to an authoritarian dictatorship as you can get in the time frame. For the ideas I'd have them be focused on economic development and trading, maybe some slight military ones down the line to reference that thing in the Falklands.

@Lurking no more I was thinking about what other good nations KiwiUniversalis might need, and I came to the idea of giving God's Smartest Programmer his own nation. However for it to really work it will likely need at least one custom decision, preferably a small mission tree to allow for the gameplay I envision.
I placed TempleOS in darkest Africa, more specifically at the edge of the Niger area. This is a tactical choice and plays into what I am planning. Flag is currently white as it should be instead made into the actual TempleOS flag.
Terry is, of course, a Pious Scholar. He is 25 to allow him to live until the prophecy can be fulfilled. Might be useful to hardcode him not to die until he is like 75 or something like that.
Now the ideas.
They look kind of overpowered right? That is by design. The nation IS overpowered. But in life nothing is freely given. You are God's Smartest Programmer, you are on a Holy Mission from The Lord and he has given you the tools to make it so. These ideas will be necessary for you to complete your mission, because Terry is quite literally surrounded by niggers (many of whom glow in the dark) and as such he will need to make full use of these extreme buffs. For you see...
TempleOS is a Fifth Monarchist Regime.
This is a special, almost Easter Egg form of government from the Domination DLC. It's a theocratic government that is basically meant to represent a "THE END IS NIGH" flavor of protestant that showed up in England during the early 1600s. The Tl;Dr is that they get massive buffs to conquering shit of different religions, but they are also on a timer. Every month fanaticism goes up by one, and for every point they get more manpower recovery and CCR and missionary strenght, but they also get more and more unrest and stab cost skyrockets. They can lower it by 5 for every war they win. If they get to 100? Pretty much game over, the nation explodes and bankrupts.
I also went with giving it the Synthetics sprites due to Terry's technological prowess, and for religion I gave it Coptic and the Culture is Aramaic. Coptic because I doubt Terry respects the Whore of Rome and while mostly associated with Ethiopia the Copts are one of the oldest sects of Christianity and as such closest in the game to the source. And Aramaic is the language that Christ spoke in everyday life so might as well make that the culture here.
The idea is that for the player to actually be able to enjoy these OP ideas they will need to race against the clock. Time is ticking, it's only a matter of time until the Fanatic Zeal reaches 100. To fix it, they will need to do something. If you grow to one thousand provinces you can actually get the game to freeze your zeal at 100 and avoid implosion and bankruptcy, but that is both too hard and too boring.
Terry needs to get TempleOS, the 3rd Temple, to it's rightful home.
Jerusalem beckons!
That is where the event comes in. The idea is that the player must grow, juggle the wars, expand and grow enough to take the plunge into declaring a crusade for the Holy Land. They need to own and control Jerusalem as a core province and at least 9 other provinces in the states of Palestine, Red Sea Hills, Syria and Aleppo before they hit 100 zeal. Doing so would either fire a event or enable a decision which would give the player the chance to fix their problems. The result would be similar to actually reaching 100 Zeal, but instead of going bankrupt and losing everything you would get money based on all the dev from the provinces which would break free. Instead of being sent back to the OPM of your original core you would have your capital moved to Jerusalem and none of the provinces in red would be lost. Just as with the money, you would get some of the dev from the rest of the collapse of the crusading empire which would likely put all the provinces you now own on the 10 to 14 dev range. And finally they all get the culture changed to Aramaic because that is a nice touch I think.
You would also have the Tier 1 change to something more stable. I think the Japanese reform Divine Empire actually suits it well, though it would need to be modded to accept the fact that it doesn't have the capital in the Japan region. Maybe Terry becomes Immortal? Though that might be too OP, a fixed Davis dynasty would work better.
What do you think? Too much?

I would put it in America and make it Lutheran and American (I am not sure what religion he was but it seems more accurate)

Putting it in America would make the objective of reaching the Holy Land impossible while Terry still lives, and likely impossible without exploding. As for the religion Lutherans has been responsible for some of the most cringe shit around recently, and EU4 is a bit weird about having protestants before they are meant to spawn.

Hussite then, it's actually more fun than Lutheran imo

I always thought Terry grew up catholic?

I wanted to avoid Catholic because then TempleOS would have access to the Papal Mechanics and it would make it not as challenging to beat. I considered all the choices and went with Coptic due to it also using the Aramaic language and the esoteric aspects of it all, but Hussite would also work very well.

The mission tree and decisions aren't a problem, but it does require a more definite set up than I was thinking (edit, in the sense of this particular tree and the necessity for surrounding glowing niggers.) My intentions were to have one country per forum user, each with a single province so any forum user that wants a country could just hop in and add one without having to worry about altering the whole setup and planning on how various countries would need to interact with each other. However, would people prefer a less sandbox-y defined starting scenario?

I have been playing it and it is quite good, really plays to the strengths of CK3. With Admin gov't you never feel safe, and basically always need to be on the defensive within your realm. I have said elsewhere that the best part of CK3 is that it is very flexible and Admin is just that taken to 11, it grabs the parts of imperator I really liked without the perpetual loyalty checks that made the game really annoying at times.

Oh, I see. That is different from what I thought it would be, which is adding KiwiFarms based nations to make the world funnier and wackier.

I'm not opposed to that, and it's early enough that I can easily make it like that it if people would prefer it.

Double posting, but I've decided to start adding the countries to the setup rather than the blank world. How would you like old Gunther to interact with

Having him as the Austria replacement Emperor would make sense but I worry about how balanced it might be. I think he should be just a prince, but one with a easy shot at becoming the Emperor and on the edge of the Empire so he can expand NATO The HRE himself.

Honestly, I never minded their removal. Hyperlanes are boring but because Paradox is allergic to any sort of decent tactical combat I view them as necessary for decent strategic warfare. Of course, when they were made Stellaris was an exploration game with combat as a secondary consideration so it's another case of retrofitting mechanics that were fundamentally at odds with basic design assumptions.
Reformed would make more sense for the Millenarianism.

Serious question. Are there any less autistic alternatives to those games?
I really like the idea of Hearts Of Iron and Crusader Kings, but each time I install one of them I quickly get put off by how needlessly complicated they are.
There used to be a game that was simpler, it was called Rulers Of Nations or something like that, but it was an unplayable buggy mess.

None that are worthwhile and Paradox games are actually fairly straightforward compared to something like AGEOD games. If HOI4 and CK2/3 are too complicated for you the genre might just not be for you.
