Basically I like to play as minor countries and see how much of a wrench I can throw in the greater chaos of WWII. Achievements have no in-game effects; the achievement just pops up in-game, and is then added to the player's Steam or Xbox profile depending on the version of the game. Declare war on the US, which will either result in France inviting the US and Philippines into the Little Entente (if France has formed that faction) or the US will form the North American Entente with the Philippines, and France (as well as Czechoslovakia) will join, resulting in you being at war with France, and Germany inviting you to the Axis (which you should accept). Then start Decolonisation while you wait for the justification to finish, and install a communist government in Canada to make sure they will be friendly to you. Faction leaders are also considered major countries. Tannu Tuva can easily reach this achievement due to their abysmally low core population of just 85k. Relinquish Scotland from occupied territories & choose play as then turn fascist, join the Axis after Germany declares war on the UK and join the war, This may be a bug as you aren't actually playing the uk but one of its constituents, the achievement still unlocks. Save up Political Power. Build guns and artillery. As Poland in the 1939 Blitzkrieg scenario start, inflict over 1,800,000 casualties to Germany to beat the 2018 PDXCON HOI4 challenge. I'd say capitulation needs a rework, not "the whole game". A third option is to play as the UK - go down a Change in Course (any path is fine), get military access from Nationalist China (on historical, they are very obligated to help you), and launch naval invasions into the home islands (if you go communist, you can join the Comintern and attack from Vladivostok).

Once that is done start pushing upwards from Ethiopia to surround the allied divisions left in Egypt and to take the remaining states. As the Soviet union, capitulate Germany after the fall of France before the allies control one German core state. Justify to retake core state on Sinkiang. Start as Japan. Justify on Portugal, and naval invade them from the Cape by splitting off subs for naval superiority. Wait for Germany to declare war on Poland. They will be easy to capitulate with all their forces in the west. Console commands - Hearts of Iron 4 Wiki - Paradox Wikis
