-Revisit German party names, add full name for the German communist party and democratic party
-Revisit UK party names, add an abbreviated name for the British fascist party and full name for the British communist and democratic parties
-Total improvement for Polish Party names;
Fascists: 'ONR-Falanga' to 'RNR-Falanga (Ruch Narodowo Radykalny-Falanga)'
Communists: full name changes from 'Communist Party of Poland' to 'Komunistyczna Partia Polski'
Non-aligned: from BBWR to Sanation
-Revisit Italian party names, now most of them will be shown in abbreviated form. Replace Italian democratic party 'Partito Popolare Italiano' with 'Giustizia e Libertà'. Replace Italian neutral party 'Partito Nazionale Monarchico' with simply 'Monarchists'
-Give American communists their abbreviated name.
-Revisit French party names. Give French communitsts their abbreviated name and democratic party a full name.

Regarding Polish parties, I was much inspired by the post here https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/poland-historical-inaccuracies.976350/#post-21989907 . The origional fascist name 'ONR-Falanga' was used only in informal situation. Polish communist party name in vanilla was an English translation, which was not consistent with PDX's preference of keeping native name in other cases. The most problematic is the name for the polish non-aligned faction in vanilla is BBWR, which was an organisation disbanded in 1935 just before the 1936 game start. Sanation would be a much better choice here, as it represents the ruling military government in Poland at the time.

Regarding Italian democratic party and non-aligned party in game. Italian democratic party in game is Italian People's Party, which should had been dissolved in 1926. I replaced it with Giustizia e Libertà (Justice and Freedom), an active social democratic and anti-fascist movement at the game period. The vanilla Italian democratic leader Ferruccio Parri was also one of the leaders in this movement, a perfect match. Then we come to the Italian neutral party in game, which is Partito Nazionale Monarchico, a party only materilised after WWII. I know Italian neutral faction does have a chance to resume power through German focus tree, and I know they are nothing else but monarchists in this case. But instead of introduing a postwar party into an WWII game, I would rather prefer just give it a vague name--'Monarchists'.

-Replace Sinkiang's communist party CPSU with Anti-Imperialist Union. Yes, the CPSU represents nothing else but the Communist Party of the Soviet Union here. Even though Sinkiang's warlord Sheng Shicai joined Bolsheviks personally and Sinkiang at the time was almost like a puppet to Soviets, there was no Bolshevik local branch set up in Sinkiang. Instead, Sheng Shicai had his own ruling party--the Anti-Imperialist Union of the People of Sinkiang. There was another silly problem for this origional name. The communist party in the Soviet Union only began to be called CPSU after 1952, it was called the All-Union Communist Party during the game's time period.

-Replacing Tannu Tuva's communist party CPSU with Tuvan People's Revolutionary Party. Same for the Tannu Tuva, being a puppet does not mean it should have the same ruling party as of its master's.

-Now the name of Soviet ruling party will be shown in its abbreviation 'AUCP(b)'. I see no reason why the communist party of Russia should be an exception if Paradox has tried to adopt abbreviated name for parties in game as possible as they can. The good news is the origional full name can still be seen if you move cursor to the party name in the political interface. Also 'Bolsheviks' will be added to its full name, therefore the end result is 'All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks)'. These Soviets were quite serious about their alternative name and even made it an inseparable part of their full name.

-Replace Japanse fascist party Taisei Yokusankai (Imperial Rule Assistance Association) with Toseiha (Control Faction). Taisei Yokusankai was not founded at both 1936 and 1939 start date, neither it had any real control over Japanese politics during WWII. On the contrary, Toseiha was the dominant faction in the Japanese Army at the time, which definitely had a de facto control over Japanese politics at the time.

-Remove the term 'faction' from the name of the Japanese non-aligned party Kodoha (Imperial Way Faction). In the vanilla, it is called Kodoha Faction instead of simply Kodoha. However, the name Kodoha itself has contained the meaning of faction represented by the pronunciation of 'ha' at the end of this name.

-Rename the communist party in South Africa from SACP (South African Communist Party) to CPSA (Communist Party of South Africa). Thanks to the information provided in https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/historical-accuracy-for-communist-south-africa.1166610/ , I know the CPSA was the predecessor to the SACP, which was not even born before the early postwar period.
