there will be a future modding dev diary with details on the new scripting syntax.

It will be available to modders. And for now at least, the mechanic itself is not DLC locked, but this focus tree requires Arms Against Tyranny

In this case it will be that you are not a puppet of another country, and having the right ideologies for each one. The AI will be able to join if they so wish, as always depending on conditions.

Under the hood, there's nothing stopping you from doing that, the focuses simply have a trigger that gets evaluated to check which countries are valid as part of the joint tree. In theory you could make a Joint Focus Tree accessible to all the countries in the world for example. Of course how we use it in the future will depend on the content we make, but modders can do all kinds of new things with it

Right now, I have it so the AI will never start the Joint Focus tree. They can accept if you invite them, but they won't start it. This is because this is primarily for multiplayer, and otherwise, it should start only by player initiative.
Regarding the communist faction name, it's called the Northern People's Union, just as a reference of their geographical location and being a united people based on that.
Nordic March will have similar decisions, but helping the invader instead of the Nordic

The "Institution" focuses in the middle will give different effects since they upgrade the faction's Dynamic Modifiers based on what the faction specializes in, the rest will do the same effects, at least for now.
If you change ideology or become puppeted you will lose access to the tree and whatever NS you gained from it but you keep any factories, techs or manpower, etc you've gained
Yes, they need to be the same ideology, except for the Kalmar League, you can JOIN it as fascist but you can't start it

1. Yes, you can only do one at a time so you will need to choose what's best for the moment. I expect this to be specially useful late game.
2. You can see the flag of a country doing a Joint Focus, and you cannot select it, or any focus that requires it until it's completed, but you can start any other Joint Focus as long as nobody is working on that one either.
3. AI will not touch mutually exclusive focuses
- 11
It's a trigger, whatever countries meet that trigger will have access to it. Of course you'll still need to have a shared focus at the start, but other than that, you could just make every single country part of the JFT if you want.

Oh and the picture was just me trying to show all trees kinda overlapping each other, it doesn't look as good or obvious as I hoped lol

It will arrive in not to long, but still more features to show <3
This is a new tool in our arsenal, and if the content makes sense, we might use it in the future

Every time someone mentions scripted loc for advisor descriptions we lower the prio in the Jira ticket

In its current implementation, no. There can only be one instance of each Joint Focus Tree, otherwise the code and scripting under the hood would get too complicated. You can however have as many different joint focus trees actives as far as I'm aware (If there was more than one JFT).

No generic union tree unfortunately, it was just a hypothetical

Unfortunately no, we're only making this one for now. We'll see what else we can do with this format in the future though!

They are the same focuses with dynamic text, and dynamic icons, which is a new feature we didn't have at the time

It is the latter. In HoI you kinda sorta play as "the spirit of the nation", and as such, it decides to seek closer ties
