Hello! Recently the archives of the Yugoslav central intelligence agency opened up and I have done some reading and I thought you would find some things I read interesting, maybe you would like to include it in your mod?
In the Yugoslav communist party there were three currents, there were the centralists which wanted a unitary federal Yugoslavia with the possibility of it even becoming a republic of Yugoslavia instead of federation, the decentralists which wanted to confederalize Yugoslavia (and historically they won)and the liberals which wanted to fully transition into a market economy and join the western bloc. Tito was sort of balancing between all of these fractions but generally purged liberals. From '68 to '72 the centralist fraction of the party was purged based on spying allegations (that as the documents go by might have been staged) as well as accusations of nationalism and stalinism. This purge is extremely important, because it eliminates the other big fraction from the party in '68, and the only centralist which was left after that was Tito, who just gave increasingly more concessions to the Croatian and Slovene decentralists in the following years. The Slovenian and Croatian communists pushed very harshly against the centralists, both the ones from other republics and local ones and there were even threats of secession at times. It makes sense to me to get an event in '68 related to this spying scandal, with an option to purge centralists & specifically Rankovic, and that later if you choose to stay centralized slovenia and croatia could maybe split off, causing a civil war? Tell me how this sounds to you, I understand if it is a lot to put in game but I just thought it would be interesting since it is like one of the three big crisises Yugoslavia faced (cominform, centralists vs decentralists, the 90's civil war)
