I find it difficult to believe the sides aren't balanced.  After all, we got a research credit from America not too long ago, and they did develop a Nuclear Bomb first.  They have plenty of research tech, and the fact that they're offering a "less powerful" bonus up front could mean they are better in the long run.

We really don't need cheap right now, we need better research. The choices the Axis made IRL don't make a huge difference to me. This is just another game of Hearts of Iron.

Geez I should hope that one side isn't better than the other in the long run, otherwise that'd be kind of unfair.

Add three points to your first choice, two points to your second choice, and one point to your third. Highest points win I've taken everyone's 3-point choice in already, so if you voted in the old votebox just add your second and third choices, and remove your name from the list at bottom.

Cleaned up the votebox by adding a 1-point from helmacon and NUKE9.13 to Allies. You need to put 1-point for your third choice as well to make it fair. For others checking the votebox total, each person in the 3-points list should appear 2 other times, or 1 time in the bottom list. Eventually once everyone has added their second and third choices the bracketed numbers should add up to the same totals, if everyone has put in their three choices.

If we do go with the axis I suggest we go no further right than fascism as Nationalism or national socialism will cause a divide in our nation that we cannot afford (and other issues too).

Considering we don't need an expense credit at the moment, AND we'll have to pay the brits back for taking Myark, the choice is very clearly biased towards the Axis.  That being said...

Side with the holocaust? at this stage, it hasn't even started. And forenia would know nothing of it anyway.
Who knows, it could still be avoided!

That said, I am not throwing my nation under Cannala rule just for OOC meta. I will pick what gets us bigger chances to survive. Failing that, I'll pick who can still provide good help. Allies, however? they offer nothing. And we don't have that much good history with them anyway.
