@Etranger since reconstruction is gonna be a pressing demand on us for the next 12 years with much fighting on the exact specifics of how it goes could we perhaps have the three nations we are reconstructing danbue, poland and ruthenia have there goverments come with us there top three pressing need with reconsuction? Just to make it easier on us so we can know what the pressing needs are each session and on you so u don't have to deal with all our pings about what each area needs?

Since we're now the Central European Republic, does this mean that we'll have to change our flag?

I would guess that we don't need to, because the current flag is a red-gold-green tricolor, with the colors representing workers, soldiers, and farmers, respectively, while having no specifically German ethnic associations.
To throw my two cents in, the USSR had the Black Sea Fleet because they needed to contest the NATO presence nearby (for example, a very common nuclear strike mission for carrier bombers would have been a high-speed sprint from carriers in the Med to strike at targets in Ukraine and the Caucasus). Ukraine was not concerned with this, and therefore didn't find the development of a large navy.
It's unlikely our Balkan ally will be particularly concerned with naval matters regardless; while we did do a bad job of bringing Albania on-side and therefore can't completely deny the Adriatic, it's unlikely that the Entente will try to enter it. The Danubian Republic might operate some smaller vessels, as well as some things like subs for attacking Entente vessels in the Med, but it isn't cost effective for us to rely on them instead of Italy, who doesn't need to focus on rebuilding.

The fact you find the flag ugly is proof you lack sufficient revolutionary zeal.
Thus the third civil war starts, not over differences of ideology or by outside powers not even by accident but because no one can find a compromise on what is a good flag design and its colors. - narrated by a war weary old man that has lived through all 3 civil wars.

I guess that's answered
...well that's not great. Oof. Anyone got ideas?
Hmm, seems Czechia & Austria could finish their integration progress earlier - but Slovenia might need the full 12 years? Then again it's a small regions so maybe still less than that.
Danubia most definitely gonna need the full 12 years considering it's size & aforementioned need to stabilize, while Poland and Denmark's reconstructions could (hopefully) end 4 years earlier.

Well we've stopped shooting their sons and fathers, so that's a good start. Probably helping them rebuild all the damage and doing some popular reforms like subsidizing their education and land reform will help.

I wish. Sadly the train and the trolley are avoidable. Happily, we won't be trying to do that.

Should we immediately propose an international railway expansion plan that has as objective the complete connection of almost all people in Central Europe, Denmark, Danubia, Italy, Poland, and Ruthenia with trains ?

We can call it Eurobahn.
Yeah, and probably standardizing on two gauges (since we'll need narrow gauge outside the key routes in the Alps). We want to minimize break-of-gauge so that we can easily transfer supplies in wartime.
Unrelated to that, I'd like to see two planks be added to the upcoming plans, although I'm not sure which party to push to include them:
- Create a training and coordination organization as part of the German military that can assist foreign militaries with training troops, instructors, and doctrinal analysts, coordinating the supply of Alliance materiel, helping to create structures that support the military (such as logistics & procurement), liasing with foreign militaries on a go-forwards basis, and providing limited field support. This organization is to immediately be sent to China along with all the surplus equipment from the cancelled summer offensive to assist in the constitutionalist revolution.
During wartime, this org can act as a quick-deployment force to help set up the local militaries to be effective fighting forces. The Spanish International Corps is great in that it can get some Andean republican outfitted in gear and dropped off on a dock in Shanghai to fight for the cause, but they're not going to have the specific training in "give some Chinese peasants an 8 cm mortar and teach them how to use it" that we want (since said Andean republican may also be relatively new to using an Alliance mortar). During peacetime, this org can keep being useful in helping to set up local production (so that our allies aren't reliant on German arms shipments during wartime, when they'll likely be cut off), as well as helping pool ideas so that we don't have to repeat others' mistakes.
- Rebuild the destroyed cities that we've recently taken in a way that maximizes quality of life of all (current) social strata, provides efficient living, encourage the use of public transit, and disincentivizes class divisions on the basis of where you live in a city. We have the opportunity to one-up the garden city and city beautiful movements and provide shining examples of the kind of worker's city that we intend to bring forth.
Fuck Robert Moses, all my homies hate Robert Moses.

"Well, I've got nothing."
So, we've got some new items here that aren't necessarily the clearest in what they mean -- that is to say, everyone will likely "know" what they mean, and walk away with interpretations that could vary quite a bit. To save on some likely future arguments...
@Etranger
Could you describe what the "Rebuilding", "Political", "Infrastructure", "Military", and "Economic" stats mean for the Integration and Reconstruction efforts?
