It's a later game issue but dealing with international issues like Pan Africanism or the rise of Arabic nationalism would be exciting. You could surpress them or liberate them yourselves. If you're not a coloniser you could fight to force your powerful rivals release the colonised nations, but not by modern borders, by in game ethnicity boundaries.
Other late game international things I'd like to see would be a League of Nations. Although I mainly want that mechanic in the base game so we have something to build a United Nations on in mods.
You could have a level of support for it, starts at 0% but large scale wars increase the desire for it, then a policy can be enacted by someone who wants to lead the charge to its creation.
Socialists and Communists are first and foremost fighters for the working class, for public or collective ownership of means of production and equal distribution of resources. Period. If you can achieve it through internationalism then fine. If not then you achieve it through nationalism if you have to.

Hello friends and comrades,
after the last effortpost was about Victor Adler, I noticed that there was another famous person that I mentioned in this piece. Victors son, Friedrich Adler. A curious rebel, always in the shadow of his famous father with a lot of energy for the movement. So today I'd like to talk about Friedrich Adler.
Birth and upbringing
Friedrich Wolfgang Adler was born on July 9th 1879 in Vienna. As mentioned before, Victor Adler (then only a physician) was his father. His mother Emma (born Braun) was the sister of the German Social Democrats Heinrich and Adolf Braun as well as an ardent socialist at heart. Raised in Vienna in good schools, he learned a lot about the probems of working class people and his fathers occupation as physician helped with that.
Victor always thought that Friedrichs unstable health alongside his leaning for fanaticism would not be fruitful for a political career. Instead, his father persuaded Friedrich to go to Switzerland after his Matura (final high school exam/A-level exam) to study. Friedrich went to ZΓΌrich and started his studies in Physics with his diploma as teacher in Physics and Mathematics in 1897. His Ph.D. came in 1902, again in Physics. While in ZΓΌrich he befriended famous scientist Albert Einstein, with whih he would share a life-long friendship.
First steps into the workers movement
In 1909 both Adler and Einstein applied for the new post as professor for Theoretical Physics in ZΓΌrich, but Adler rescinded his application in favor of Einstein. Why he rescinded his application isn't sure, most say it was to better engage in the local workers movement.
Already in 1897 Adler joined the Verband der ΓΆsterreichischen Sozialdemokratie in der Schweiz (Organisation of the Austrian Social Democracy in Switzerland) and from 1898 onwards as writer for the Swiss newspaper Volksrecht (whose Chief Editor Adler would be from 1910 to 1911). Alongside this, in 1901 Adler took up a leading position in the Verband der Internationalen Arbeitervereine in der Schweiz (Organisation of International Workers Unions in Switzerland). This would prove as a first omen for his future as an internationally minded Social Democrat.
Interestingly enough is one small thing in Adlers life story. As Einstein went to the University of Prague in 1911, he recommended Friedrich Adler to take up his former posting in ZΓΌrich as his sucessor. But Adler refused this offer. Instead, in the same year he returned to
