      @@thebrutusmars if you want to be proper, Caesar should be at the end, proceded by name and succeded only by honorifics (Augustus, Germanicus etc.). Caesar was a part of the name, not title per se.
      Other notations were present in łate antiquity and early Byzantine times (when form "kaisaros" appered sometimes along "basileos"), but never really widespread as far as I know.
      I can agree to: Alexios Ramblerus Caesar Baldus ;)

    - I formed full czech entente with Yugoslavia and Romania. So Germany does not have Czech industrial capacity and fascist allies in Hungary and Romania
    - USA successfully invade France.
    - Soviet union hold east part of Poland.
    - Japan lost the war against China

(even though it was fuhrerreich and the continental entente was at war with ajapan, and I somehow by taking only a few land provinces capitulated Ukraine, Czechoslovakia and Poland... and later on I got the soviets on my side, but they didn't help much... so it might have only been a lucky game XD)
