@Khan nationalism is the first step on that road, but I'll agree that we stop at fascism. Going down the road of eugenics and offing minorities isn't that productive (And no-one wants to bring up the old governments eugenics programs either.)

There were axis allies who retained their democracy. I don't see why we can't. Some parties will become stronger, communists may suffer a bit of repression, but nothing too bad.

It is not the most morally sound choice, no. But this is a game. We can be evil if we want to.

Or better yet, we can just be allies of convenience, and not be evil at all. I for one intend to fight to maintain democracy in Forenia... after joining with the Axis, of course.

We can be evil if we want to.
But I don't want to side with the evil guys.  This happens every Arms Race game, they always end up committing war crimes and siding with the most evil people they can for the most trivial of advantages.  At this point I know I can't stop us from siding with them, but I want the record to show I fought this as best I could.

What are we going to do when Japan asks for assistance bombing pearl harbor?  What are we going to do when Germany asks us to send bombers to help hit civilian targets?  What are we going to do when the end of the war rolls around and the Allies start hitting us with war reparations?  And before you say "this is alternate history" think; do we really want the Axis to win?

Franco signed the anti-comintern pact (which I'm guessing is what joining the Axis entails) and gave Germany material and technical assistance, yet nobody cared about them after the war. They even made Japan pay Spain reparations over the Spanish missionaries killed in the invasion of the Philippines. We would likely find ourselves in a similar situation if the Axis lose.

We could side with the axis and double cross them or use clandestine means to free those in need, or if the major powers ask us to aid them we can make demands of greater value or something.
We could use our embassies as part of the underground railroad and liberate the Jews(and others) (or as many as possible) and sabotage the axis if we wanted to be good guys while reaping the best benefits we can.

I personally see nothing wrong with stabbing villains in the back.
