Supply comes from everywhere. Each region has an amount of supply it can generate, and then paths into that region can carry supply based on infrastructure. This is not super-detailed but it's a fair summary:

If you were playing as USA, there is at least a fairly decent chance you may not have had the highest war participation. If another country has a higher participation than you, they get to pick first in the conference, and may have taken something that negated your ability to puppet. As far as I know, the puppet wargoals only serve to make those options "cheaper" in the conference for you, allowing you to take the actions for fewer war "points".
This happened to me in a game where the allies lost to the axis, were wiped out, I was playing USA and declared war on Japan after the fact. The USSR went to war with the axis, and when Germany/Italy capitulated, I had invaded mainland Japan and it went to conference. Because the USSR had taken more territory than me, against different enemies than me, even though I single-handedly wiped out Japan and wasn't involved in the Comintern in any way, USSR picked first, and they puppeted Japan... very frustrating.

How do I name my own faction? I have conquered the Soviet Union as Romania and when I go into the factions map mode I have this big label saying" Your faction name here" which looks really daft.
I tried going to my government tab but it will not let me change the name.

This happened to me to with UK puppeting Japan before I could in turn 1, but there didn't seem to be any option to puppet the German Reich which they did in turn 2. So I ended up back with what I had before the war even started! Isolationism for the win!

How would it run? Is there a point for me to buy it?

Ouch! Yes, that's actually quite awful. I feel like in addition to a warscore, they should have some kind of individual tracking system to who earns what score against whom... and if one country has the vast majority (or in my case the entirety) of the warscore earned against a particular country, there should be large bonuses/penalties to the *cost* of picking different options in the conference. Like in your scenario, GB shouldn't have had enough points to puppet Japan in the first round, should have cost them much more warscore but cheaper for them to puppet Germany etc.
BUMP

As of right now, probably not that well. I have a 4.0 GHz processor, and a GTX 980 and past 1945ish, it starts getting really laggy. They have a bit of optimizing to do in order to get everything running smooth, it's a known issue and they're working on it.
Overall, the requirements aren't that big a deal, it's mostly just the way the game itself runs. In my opinion, your processor is a bit of a bottleneck here, and you'll likely run slow, but overall shouldn't be *that* bad. If you choose to get the game, you might need to run at a slower speed in later years to keep it from "skipping". I.E. lag for a couple seconds, then jump forward to catch up. Otherwise should be fine. Up to you.
Took a lot of self control to keep from just googling and pasting system requirements...
Also, his bumping is effectively spam and he should never do it again. And I'd say his GPU is also pretty weak compared to the requirements.
Thank you for your answers. I wanted to know opinion of a person that played HOI4, because:
1) in different places I have seen different requirements mentioned (maybe outdated),
2) I did read opinions about how the game was able to run well on weaker machines.
I'm poor so I wanted confirmation before taking action.

That's fine, still not helpful to bump.
For what it's worth, late game conflicts with large armies (e.g. Germany vs. Soviet Union) causes massive slow downs even on more capable machines, so even if you can technically play it, you may see pretty sluggish performance as things develop.
Steam does have a proper return policy now, though, so you could always try it for a couple hours and see.
Question on troop exercises:
1. How long can/should you exercise troops for? I notice they suffer from attrition while being exercised.
2. Is it worth exercising troops?
Thanks

Anyone knows what the blue crystal thing in this picture is supposed to represent? Some ships have them, some don't.
1. You can exercise them forever if you want to but that's really not a good idea. It all depends on what you are exercising them for, if you only want to have them ready for battle you should only exercise them to their max level (regular) but if you need some army experience to upgrade your divisions you can have more troops doing exercises even though they themselves don't get better.
2. Yes most definitely as you both get better troops and army experience and if they are green you really want to exercise them if you can. It is of course a trade-off equipment-wise and having your whole army exercising at all times is a bit of a waste of resources.
So, i was playing as germany and conquered the uk (uk capitulated) and no sea lion achviement. any idea?

I just added a few towed pieces to my construction queue after researching them. I got a pop up notification that I lack the template (No Template) to utilize these items. I currently have my forces separated into two armies (North and South). Clicking on each army doesn't show me any template to modify. Where do I find this and how do I address it correctly?
Do you have any mods installed? I wondered why I wasn't unlocking achievements in Stellaris, since the only mods I had running were fluff things like extra flag symbols and species pictures. They didn't alter gameplay in any way, but still locked achievements. If not, could be a bug.
Templates are in your recruitment window. Each available template has two buttons, one to begin training a unit of that template, and an edit button. Using edit brings up the window you need.
I had the same thing and didn't get a couple minor achievements as USSR. I'm pretty sure it's because I didn't increase the difficulty above recruit. There ought to be a message, but in other PDox games no achievements on easy so I assume that's it, for me anyway.
