Description​

Using the every_allied_country scope can cause a crash to desktop if you have no allies, when mousing over a focus that contains it. I have made a very small mod to demonstrate this because I don't think it's actually used in any vanilla content; it is available here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3461644207 but you can easily make your own script if you prefer. The mod gives Liberia a focus tree with a single focus that grants every_allied_country 1 pp. Opening the focus tree and mousing over the focus causes a crash to desktop. Oddly, when I used the console to create a faction, then had its only member leave, mousing over the focus did not cause a crash and it just showed as having no effect (i.e. correctly), so this isn't a universal problem. I'm not sure what change caused it to work after that but not before.

I also attach the mod as a zip file, and a copy of one of the crash logs created using it.
