I have thought about this national unity (wich we don't know a lot) and some cool feature wich will certainly increase the intelligence system and the non-war part

When i read national unity, i read national cohesion.
For exemple : Germany have a strong national unity as long as it achieved his objectives (anchluss, sudeten etc) and thus is not in danger for falling apart (as long as its "expanding") while France, facing a resurgent germany will gradually loose its unity (and with event like front populaire decision).

I think (if not i hope it will be took as account as suggestion) that its link to idelogoy , as your national unity begun to desintegrate the other ideology grow in power (exemple , as a democratic spain , fascist and comunist grow in power) . It might erupt in a civil war.
While a civil war can be the outcome, if you manage to hold but have a war against an another major , things can get ugly if you have to surrender. The more your national unity was low and other ideaological bloc were strong , the more a vichy type country can emerge if you happen to loose (the less national unity you got, the more likely your nation will surrender).

There intel can act. As a major (sov, germany , uk) you can try to took control of there other bloc forming into a disrupt country. Either through spy ring, or by gaining the sympathy (through money etc)
It would be awesome if you have two "diplomatic" screen , one for the country , one for idealogical faction within each country. As soviet union you could try to control the comunist faction in spain , first infiltrate with spy ring, taking control of the faction , telling them to trigger a civil war, funding them, if you fail they could view you as distrust and they become anarchist, if you won , welcome into the comintern comrades. Making a proxy war through puppet against germany and italia
You could also tell the faction to be quiet (like to the comunist in france with a vichy regime until ger attack)
Like in eu3 there can be two type of "relation" confiance (and how they trust you to hold your bargain) and relation , soviet union because of the proxy war could see ger with awfull relation but trust them to hold their bargain (because of the m-r pact)

About governement in exil : depending on how strong is an ideology in a country , different gov in exil can apear. For france , sov told the comunist to not act , so once vichy fire only the democrat go in exil. But soviet union once in war with ger can invite the comunist in france to set up a gov in exil in muscowy.
Imagine , the game don't stop once you push back the german near the oder. The hidden and cold war begun as the allies make their dday. Each "bloc" funding intel war to setup in liberated area a governement friendly to them....

What do you think? and sorry for my bad english

But with this i think we will see vlasov army, spain civil war and other thing going through a dynamical form instead of an event driven one
 
Moreover it could replace dissent which I found overvalued. Dissent have some sense as modifier in battles, but dissent hits and their impact on IC is nonsense. When some random event get +-5% dissent, it means that GDP change was this year by this event changed by this value. And that's a lot. For example Anschluss not only give Germany additional IC, but also relative boost 10% which I found ahistorical and quite unexplainable. Dissent should not affect industrial capacity, since problems on homefront are modeled through loss of IC (strategic bombing) and I havent seen any proof that any action had so serious impact on morale of civilians that could move GDP by percents.
 
Thanks

And thats what i thought, national unity could replace realisticly dissent
In term of dedication of the ic to national war effort (cohesion , this way country like france wich where underpowered in term of industrial capacity could be better modeled, same for us) and in term of combat effectivness (su against succesfull national propaganda could unite their soldier more effectivly and be more efficient after the first defeat)
 
This could be a big part in successfully modeling China. There was sort of a low key civil war going on during the last 3 years of the war.
