I support this, this is my politics

I could win a 7 front war in Total War easy 💅

A lot of grand strategy games, the power in play is to do a lot of things that irk your target until they declare war, and thus you avoid any of the diplomatic penalties of being the aggressor. They don't simulate real world politics well at all

The North Island and South Island have negotiated a tense ceasefire and formed a united front after agreeing that the inter-Kiwi conflict is a less pressing matter than the end of Australian oppression

I'm trying to imagine a scenario where Norway would be in a seven-ish-front war, but the only scenarios I can imagine are:

Scenario 1: Norway becomes a socialist state, and so we basically just get Operation Urgent Fury 2, and there's not much more to say about it.

Scenario 2: There is an absolutely bizarre situation involving a three-way dispute of Orkney going hot, a fascist Sweden going irredentist, and a fascist Finland trying to establish a Turanist Co-Prosperity Sphere, and then other countries join in a "Scramble for Norway" in a "first as tragedy, then as farce" sort of way, using justifications like "peacekeeping" or "protecting their citizens abroad" or whatever else — the imperial core essentially cannibalizing itself as the periphery successfully resists the core's parasitism.

Scenario 3: The Second World War ended with the Nazis somehow negotiating with the Western powers to remain in power in Germany, Denmark, and Norway as a bulwark against the spread of communism. Nazi rule would inevitably collapse in Germany and Denmark at most a few decades later, leaving Norway as basically the German Nazis' Taiwan. When the "Greater German Reich" then inevitably goes rogue again, we basically just see a tragedy-then-farce sorta-repeat of WWII as it actually happened, except this time Berlin is substituted for Nordstern City.

Edit: Well, really, nothing says Norway couldn't become a bizarrely expansionist rogue state without being a rump of Nazi Germany. I feel like this wouldn't be any more farfetched than imagining this happening to Sweden and Finland.

No one is invading israel, don't fall for that.

This feels like a pretty literal recreation of this old wwii poster, itll tug on the faint memories of the the target audience (fb boomers)
