Graf von Bismarck, a German player posted this method on the German board. It was already confirmed to work by other players.
1.) Load savegame in wordpad.
2.) At the beginning You´ll find entries for all selectable countries. Delete every entry except the one for Your own country.
3.) Using the search function, find the entries, where all the info for the various countries are listed. Those entries always begin with
country = {
tag = [TAG]
You´ll have to find the entries for the countries You want to be annexable now.
4.) In every such entry change the line 'major = yes' to 'major = no'
5.) Now, at the end of the file You´ll find entries beginning with 'eyr= {' for all the selectable countries. Delete those blocks for all countries save Your own.
6.) Lastly, at the end of the file You´ll also see the entries 'landtech', 'navaltech', 'army', 'navy' and 'size'. You´ll have to delete the entries for the soon to be annexable countries there.
7.) Save
8.) Start a game and load the edited savegame. The countries in question should be annexable now.
