Q: What do I need to edit to make a new Country?
A: Making a new country from scratch is alot of work. First you would need to Hearts of Iron 2\config\world_names.csv and make change the entry for one of the userdefined countries (U00 - U19) to what you want your new country to be called. Now you take the tag for the country you just named and place it in the list of selectable nations in the Scenario File you wish to use it in. Now you must make a .inc File for that nation. You must also place an entry for that nation Hearts of Iron 2\db\revolt.txt that lists core provinces and the nations Capital. Finally you must place a sheild in Hearts of Iron 2\GFX\map\shields and a flag in Hearts of Iron 2\GFX\map\flags
Q: What about Ministers and Leaders?
A: You must make a Minister File and Leader File for that country. Your tag is the User-Defined tag that you changed into your country in world_names.csv
Q: Where do the pictures for events go?
A: Hearts of Iron 2\GFX\events_pics
Q: How do I change the amount of provinces required to liberate a nation
A: Go to Hearts of Iron 2\db\revolt.txt, Search for the tag of the country which you wish to change. The date and expiry date are the years that the country becomes available to liberate and stops being liberatable. The minimum field is the minimum amount of provinces required the liberate that nation, the nation wil always get these provinces upon being liberated and you will need all of them to liberate it. The extra field is extra provinces that the nation can receive if you control them. If you do not control them, then the liberated nation will instead get national claims on them. The Capital is the liberated nation's capital. intrinsic_gov_type means that only nations of that type may liberate this nation. It also means that if a nation which this liberatable nation has cores in/on is couped by that a governemnt of that type, it will become this liberatable nation. You may comment things out in revolt.txt
