    Late to the party, but there's sometimes a trick with those focuses. I don't know about the generic tree, but the South African tree for sure changes the location of the added factories if you don't control the provinces it normally lists. But that isn't the case in the United States if you are in a civil war where California secedes. The focus still lists California for dockyards.

And it flowed from the part of Central Asia except Kazakhstan to the middle of India and Greece to Egypt, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia. And Iran means the land of Aryans.

    If you don't wanna deal with the funky exploit with borders in vichy france, you can simply declare on france while they are fighting germany, so you get the levant before vichy france gets formed, then push through the suez and wait for italy to lose its territory in libya. The only potential problem you might run into is taking cyprus, but if you've been building aircraft, you'll be able to acheive air superiority, and thus paradrop onto the island. Alternatively, if you take the rest of north africa, and greece gets capitulated, the allies no longer have any ports in range of cyprus, so naval superiority becomes much easier to achieve. If their fleet gets stuck in the mediterranean, you can just damage them, and then port strike them as they try to repair in cyprus (they will also be out of supply if they put fleets in port, because their convoys can't reach cyprus). Still, I'm glad i watched this guide, as i learned some new things that make this campaign easier and less tedious for me in two ways: I now know of a way to capitulate romania without involving the axis, and i also don't have to fight italy to be able to form persia (because i didn't know about the mechanic with military access, involving occupation). Italy, in particular, was a massive thorn in my side, since i would have to go to war with them prematurely, so as to prevent them from joining the axis, as i would eventually need to go to war with them for the dodecanese, and the "libya" region.

    Goes from ~200k manpower to 4.1 mil manpower.... Imagine the possibilities. Imagine. Also goes from 158 factories to 191. I love how coring something in HOI4 is insanely OP.

    Of course I get that ONE game, where Italy actually wins in North Africa and much of Africa in general, because the Brits just after having them on the brink of collapse (one more tile to cut off their troops and finish them), decide to pull 90% of their North Africa troops away to station them at my border...
