Location of active ministers in save game?

[Serenissima]

Just curious about whether it's possible to edit a save game to change the ministers who are in government in a nation - in particular, the head of government and head of state. I've been poring over files, and while I can find the list of available ministers, I can't work out what puts them in position in a country.

Yes. Savegame seems to copy all the ministers/leaders on save.

It's separated by country in a savegame.

Indeed it is - so while I can get a full minister list for any given country, including all possible options, there doesn't seem to be anywhere that says which ministers are in government - but there must be, surely!

Well, of course there is:

Just had a look at the save of the France game I'm playing. It looks like this for each country:

HeadOfState = { type = 9 id = 10157 } 
HeadOfGovernment = { type = 9 id = 10019 } 
ForeignMinister = { type = 9 id = 10024 } 
ArmamentMinister = { type = 9 id = 10037 } 
MinisterOfSecurity = { type = 9 id = 10060 } 
MinisterOfIntelligence = { type = 9 id = 10081 } 
ChiefOfStaff = { type = 9 id = 10094 } 
ChiefOfArmy = { type = 9 id = 10101 } 
ChiefOfNavy = { type = 9 id = 10009 } 
ChiefOfAir = { type = 9 id = 10124 }

Aha, -there- we are. Sandwiched between naval leaders and tech teams. Thanks!
