Two Paths to Independence
The Dutch East Indies (also known as the Netherlands East Indies or NEI) is one of the most resource-rich minor nations in the world. With massive room for industrial growth, the country faces one major problem: it is a Puppet (or, if playing with the Death or Dishonor DLCs enabled, an Integrated Puppet) of the Netherlands.
If you do not have Death or Dishonor, only one path to independence exists: that of Civil War. Note, however, that you will not have the problem of the Netherlands taking your industry and deployed divisions as you will with the Death or Dishonor DLC enabled.
If you have Death or Dishonor enabled, you have a second option, that of the slow and painful increase of Autonomy from Integrated Puppet to Freedom. If you choose this path, you will need to build at least 3 Military Factories in order to have 1 to use to produce Infantry Equipment using your civilian industry. It is not recommended to use the focuses to obtain Military Factories, as this will delay your use of the constant focus Raise Autonomy. It is also best to place the three Military Factories in Java, Sumatra, and the Lesser Sunda Islands, as these will be the easiest islands to defend against any foe and will ensure your control over at least two of them in a Civil War.
Strategy for Obtaining Independence Peacefully (Note: this strategy is designed without Man the Guns in mind.)
The player should begin the game by blitzing the Civilian Industry branch of the Minor Power Focus Tree, obtaining the Extra Research Slot as soon as possible and maximizing construction resources. Then, he should perform the Naval Effort focus and all Army/Doctrine Effort focuses (he should have researched the first stage of Mass Assault Doctrine first). By now, the player should have completed all the necessary focuses to unlock the Increase Autonomy focus. This should be started ASAP.
Meanwhile, the player should focus his political power getting a Communist Revolutionary, an Military Industrialist, switching his Trade Law to Free Trade, and obtaining a Military Theorist and Industrial/Infantry Equipment companies. Once Communist support has built up enough, switch ideology to Communist and change your Economy Law to War Economy.
As far as research is concerned, the player should focus on researching the latest Infantry Equipment and Industry technologies in order to attend to his massive deficit of equipment and keep ahead of the Netherlands. Once the Netherlands joins the war, lend-lease all produced Infantry Equipment and Convoys and send an Attache as soon as possible. However, do not send any troops to support the Dutch until they (hopefully) capitulate, giving you a nice boost to your autonomy when they fall. The huge increase in Autonomy you will receive from these efforts should push you out of Integrated Puppet like a rocket, allowing you full use of your industry. Once this occurs, you may choose to continue your current policy or build up your own military and fight in the war.
