Formable nations are special nations that do not exist in the 1936 or 1939 starting dates but can be formed through a decision enacted by certain nations provided they fulfill the needed requirements.
They act as cosmetic tags and change the name, flag and map color of the nation, but not other aspects like national focuses or advisors. Many formable nations do, however, grant cores on territory, which are otherwise unavailable, and thus allow a nation to increase its manpower and industrial capacity, in some cases decisively, though more practically, many of these merely represent ultimate end goals for ambitious players.

Andalusia[edit | edit source]
If 
Morocco or any other North African country is able to conquer southern Iberia, they gain access to a category of decisions called The Moorish Restoration, allowing them to revive the long-dead state of Al-Andalus and the caliphate of Cordoba, restoring Moorish rule to Iberia after a hiatus of roughly 440 years (since the collapse of the Emirate of Granada in 1492).
Once Al-Andalus is restored, the newly-formed nation will be able to sweep across the Islamic world, integrating all of North Africa, the Middle East, Arabia, Eastern Anatolia, Persia, and the Caucasus through decisions, eventually allowing them to proclaim the restoration of the Umayyad Caliphate (extant in 661-750 AD), uniting the Islamic world under one caliphate once again, after the collapse of the Ottoman Caliphate in 1922.

Arabia[edit | edit source]
Representing a single united Arab country for all Arabs, Arabia can be formed by any Arabic nation in the Middle East and the Arabian Peninsula and requires control over the historic Arab world, including the Middle East (the Levant), the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa.
The idea of a united Arabia has existed for almost as long as the Arabs themselves but the version depicted is based on a promise made through the McMachon-Hussein Correspondence between the United Kingdom and Arabian separatists in the Ottoman Empire during World War I.
According to the promise, the United Kingdom agreed to recognize Arabian independence and grant the Arabs a united independent state in exchange for having the Arabs collaborate with the British and launching a revolt against the Ottomans.
The promise never came to realization, however, as is was negated by the Sykes-Picot agreement made between 
France and the United Kingdom in 1916-1917 in which they divided up parts of Arabia amongst themselves while leaving the rest of the territory in the hands of 
Saudi Arabia, 
Iraq, 
Yemen and 
Oman, creating a collection of independent but weak and divided Arab states.

Austria-Hungary[edit | edit source]
This country represents the pluri-ethnic empire created from the Austrian Empire through a Compromise by the Austrian King and Emperor Francis Joseph I in 1867 with the Hungarians which then existed until its collapse in 1918. Up until its collapse, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was the second-largest empire in Europe, second only to the Russian Empire.
Austria-Hungary is (game-wise) the oldest formable nation in Hearts of Iron 4, as it was added in the Death or Dishonor DLC, as part of the Hungarian national focus tree and was the first one of its kind and thus set the precedent for all future formable nations in Hearts of Iron 4 in updates and DLCs after that.

Czechoslovakia gets high enough, the three countries will unite through an event similar to the above decision and reform Austria-Hungary. The Austria-Hungary created from this focus is otherwise treated as Austria rather than the Kingdom of Hungary and is unaffected by the Integrate War Economy focus. A player-controlled Austria, the Kingdom of Hungary, or Czechoslovakia is able to take the decision to form Austria-Hungary once Germany completes the focus and can be formed once the non-aligned popularity in all 3 countries gets above 40%, and will keep the original country's focuses and national spirits.

Belarusian Union[edit | edit source]
The "Belarusian Union" is a collective term used to refer to three very closely related formable nations, namely; Estonia-Belarus, Latvia-Belarus and Lithuania-Belarus. These formable nations can be formed by each of the three Baltic States (
Estonia, 
Latvia, 
Lithuania) and only one of them can be formed at any given time. The historical background for these nations is that they are each a reconstitution of the short-lived Socialist Soviet Republic of Lithuania and Belorussia, a Soviet puppet state that existed for approxmately five months during the Lithuanian-Soviet War and Polish-Soviet War of 1919-1920.
In order to form this nation, each of the Baltic States must progress down the communist branch of their national focus tree to overthrow the government through a civil war, which then opens up the option to convert the rest of the Baltic States to communism through a propaganda war (which allows one to form the Baltic Federation) as well as acquiring Belarus for even more territory.
- If the Baltic state opted to align themselves with the
Soviet Union, the Soviets will cede their half of Belarus to the Baltic state, with the rest being acquired through either war or through the Molotov-Ribbentrop-pact and the partition of 
Poland. - If the Baltic state opted to stay independent and enter opposition, then Belarus must be acquired through adversarial means. The Baltic state must propagandise support for unification in Belarus similar to the Spanish Civil War garrison control system. This starts a countdown timer and when that time runs out, Belarus will be released and a civil war will ignite in it; the victor will be annexed into either the victorious Baltic nation or the USSR. The rest of Belarus must be conquered from Poland by force.

After the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476, the Eastern Roman Empire (also known as Byzantium) would go on to persist for (nearly) another thousand years until its own demise in 1453. Despite being called the Eastern Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire was predominantly Greek in culture as opposed to the predominantly Latin-culture Western Roman Empire.

Chinese Empire[edit | edit source]
Representing a restoration of the Qing Dynasty, the last imperial dynasty of China which was founded in 1636 and ruled China from 1644 until its downfall in the Wuchang uprising and Xinhai Revolution of 1911-1912 (followed by a brief restoration in July 1917), the Chinese Empire is a special formable nation in Waking the Tiger that can only be formed by 
Manchukuo through the National Focus 
Claim the Mandate of Heaven.
In order to form this nation, Manchukuo must first take the National Focus 
Reclaim the Empire which will grant them cores on all Chinese states (that is; all territory controlled by 
China, the 
Guangxi Clique, 
Yunnan, 
Xibei San Ma, 
Shanxi, 
Communist China, 
Sinkiang, plus the Chinese territories of France, the United Kingdom, 
Portugal, and 
Japan) and then conquer said Chinese states aside from Macau (729), Hong Kong (326), Guangzhouwan (728) and Taiwan (524). After that, taking the National Focus Claim the Mandate of Heaven will form the Chinese Empire.
Once formed, Manchukuo will change its name to The Chinese Empire, change its color to a darker yellow color and adopt the flag of the Qing Dynasty as its flag. Manchukuo's leader Aisin Gioro Puyi will change his portrait to one where he is wearing the traditional robes of the Chinese Emperor and a few days later, an event will fire elaborating on the restoration of the Qing Dynasty and Puyi's second coronation as Emperor of China, thus undoing the damage done by the Wuchang Uprising and Xinhai Revolution of 1911-1912.
If one wishes to restore the historic borders of the Qing Dynasty, they should take the National Focuses 
One China Policy to conquer all Chinese states (including Tibet) and then take the National Focus Demand Mongolia to annex 
Mongolia and 
Tannu Tuva. Furthermore, in order to reconquer Outer Manchuria, one should annex the states of Vladivistok (408), Khaborovsk (409), Birobidzhan (657), Nikolayevsk (560) and Amur (561) from the Soviet Union.

Confederated States of America[edit | edit source]
The Confederated States of America can be formed when the 
United States goes down the fascist branch of its national focus tree, the Boston Rebellion breaks out and the Loyalists carry out the national focus 
Honor the Confederacy and all of the decisions it unlocks before the Second American Civil War ends. Honor the Confederacy unlocks a set of decisions to "restore popular support for the new regime by connecting with the past", which in this case entails reforming the Confederacy from the First American Civil War, by doing things such as moving the capital to Richmond (the original confederate capital), "enshrining states' rights", "permitting confederate flags", "celebrating Montgomery Convention Day" and finally, rewriting the American constitution through the constitutional convention.
The nation will also appear (albeit named the 
Confederacy of American States) in the civil war that occurs when following the communist branch of the American national focus tree.
WARNING! There is currently a bug in the game where if the player grants statehood to Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico while playing as either the CSA or the Loyalists, the game will glitch and revert the nation's name and flag back to using the default ones, causing the nation to become known as the "Free American Empire" if playing as the fascist CSA or the "United Kingdom of America" if playing as the non-aligned Loyalists, along with losing the unique CSA flag.

Dominion of North America[edit | edit source]
Not to be confused with the name for the United States when they're a Dominion of the United Kingdom.
The Dominion of North America is a special formable nation that can be created from 
Canada by the United Kingdom as a component in the formation of the Imperial Federation in either the monarchist or fascist path of the focus tree. If the United Kingdom completes the National Focus "Unite the Anglosphere" and conquers and annexes all of the starting territory of the United States, they will unlock a decision named "Create Pan-North American State", which will, when taken, give all US cores to Canada and give Canada cores on that land instead. Canada will also change its name to the "Dominion of North America" and adopt a new flag. If the United Kingdom forms the Imperial Federation while having the Dominion of North America as a puppet, they will gain cores on the entire dominion core territory (comprising all of Canada and the United States) as opposed to just Canada's core territory.
This decision is available even if the United States still exists, as long as the UK controls the continental United States and Alaska.
NOTE: In order for this formable to work, the United Kingdom must not incite a pro-imperial civil war in Canada, as that will cause a new Canada to form that does not use Canada's country tag, preventing the decision from being taken.

Estonia-Finland and the Empire of Finno-Ugra[edit | edit source]
Tracing its origins back to an age long-gone, to the time when the Finno-Ugric peoples inhabited most of Russia and Ukraine before the arrival of the Slavic peoples during the Migration Period of 300-800 AD pushed them out of their homeland and to the brink of extinction. Today, only two Finnic nations remain, Estonia and 
Finland, but these nations can still pick up the mantle of the Finno-Ugric peoples and lead them to an ultimate final victory against the Slavs by conquering Russia and Ukraine and forming the Empire of Finno-Ugra and securing their place in history as one of the great underdog victors and putting the Slavs into their one and only proper place; on their knees before the Finno-Ugra.
The Empire of Finno-Ugra can be formed by Estonia as part of the fascist branch of their national focus tree. This path has the fascist Vapsid movement gather popular support in Estonia and ultimately marching on the capital city of Tallinn and overthrowing the government in a civil war takeover.
After this, the Vapsid movement can pull on its close connections to the similarly fascist IKL party in Finland and can offer direct support to said party to allow them to expand popular support across Finland, culminating in a march on Helsinki and a fascist takeover.
From here, Estonia stands at a crossroads as to where her identity and destiny lies;
- She can opt to lean into her Scandinavian side and seek to unite the Nordic countries of
Sweden, 
Norway and 
Denmark under one flag by military force through the rest of the national focuses in that branch. If Estonia then completes the national focus Estonia is Scandinavian, she will gain access to the decision to form the Nordic League. - Alternatively, Estonia can decide to lean into her Finno-Ugric side and strengthen ties with Finland, uniting both nations into the union of Estonia-Finland, mirroring the ambition of Estonian president Konstantin Päts. Once the nations are united, they may begin to mobilise their resources and prepare themselves for war with the Soviet Union and launch a great war of conquest to annex Russia and Ukraine as well as the northern parts of Sweden and Norway to form the Empire of Finno-Ugra. For best results, one can also opt to puppet the Soviet Union and release every releasable nation from them as puppets as well, thus destroying Russia as unified polity and having Finno-Ugra replace the Russians as the great eastern menace to the rest of Europe.

Decision to form the Empire of Solomon is available through the Rally Around the Emperor and The Emperor Stays focus branch, down to The One True Heir of Solomon focus. Restore the Empire of Aksum focus is required to achieve it, though formation of Aksum is not required to form the Empire of Solomon, but it's possible to form one before another to gain cores of both.

Empire of Zion[edit | edit source]
Religious movement of Rastafari, developed in Jamaica, identified Ethiopia as biblical Zion (or Africa as a whole, with Ethiopia being specifically Mountains of Zion), believing it to be the original birthplace of humanity and the true Promised Land, and revered Haile Selassie, some interpretations believing him to be the Second Coming of Jesus, manifestation of God or, more accurately, Jah. This path represents Ethiopia embracing this belief after gaining foothold on Jamaica, establishing the Empire of Zion.
Decision to form the Empire of Zion is available through the Rally Around the Emperor and The Emperor Stays focus branch, down to Jah focus. Restore the Empire of Aksum focus is required to achieve it, though formation of Aksum is not required to form Zion, but it's possible to form one before another to gain cores of both. Finishing Jah focus requests the control Jamaica from the United Kingdom and demands subjugation from 
Cuba, 
Haiti and the 
Dominican Republic.

European Union[edit | edit source]
The European Union is a formable nation that represents a union between the original 6 countries that started the European Coal and Steel Community in 1952, the predecessor to the modern day European Union.
Historically speaking, France is the "legitimate founder" as after World War II with its homeland in ruins, its economy in shambles, its population depleted and its colonial empire breaking apart, France became desperate to avoid spiraling into a complete socio-economic meltdown and in 1956 the French government presented a proposal to form a Franco-British Union with the United Kingdom or simply joining the Commonwealth for aid. Both proposals fell through, and France instead turned to the defeated Axis Powers (Germany and Italy) of all nations and formed the European Coal and Steel Community alongside the Low countries to sustain itself, later reorganizing into the European Union.

Franco-British Union[edit | edit source]
The Franco-British Union is a union that France and The United Kingdom can form if France is capitulated by the Germans while allied to the UK, if both countries agree to the union, the United Kingdom will annex France and gain cores of all French cores. All French military units and leaders will be transferred to the UK. While the UK can get the decision regardless of ideology, France can only propose the union if it is Democratic.
Once forming the union it will only remain whilst Britain is at war. Whenever Britain becomes at peace there will be an event to release France, or keep them. Whichever option is chosen the UK will lose its French cores.
The Franco-British Union almost came into being in 1940, where, with France on the verge of defeat, the French and British governments jointly discussed the concept of merging both countries into one and having the French government continue the war from overseas. This ultimately was not to be, as the French government was divided on the issue (seeing the union as little more than an underhanded British attempt to steal France's colonies and make Paris subordinate to London), and eventually the cabinet resigned, Marshal Philippe Petain came to power and concluded a ceasefire and armistice with Germany, forming 
Vichy France, with the United Kingdom being left to fight off Germany alone.

Global Defense Council[edit | edit source]
The Global Defense Council is a formable "nation", that can be created by the 
Regional Defense Council of Aragón through a National focus of the same name in the Anarchist path for Republican Spain.
Since an anarchist society is inherently incompatible with the way Nation-States are represented in HoI4, the Global Defense Council cannot be treated as a regular nation, state, or country like all others in the game. Instead, it consists of a myriad of local anarchist communes governed through direct democracy, where everyone is equal and there are no higher leaders or other positions of power. Instead of having an actual army to speak of, the anarchists simply focus on arming the people themselves, relying on self-organized militias and paramilitaries.
The "Global Defense Council" part of this "nation" simply exists because the anarchist communes have decided to band together for security and defense and the Global Defense Council itself is merely an organization formed for the purpose of coordinating the collective military actions of the anarchists.
The Global Defense Council possesses the unique ability to generate cores on any state in the world if it can occupy it and raise compliance high enough as in that case, the local population will simply organize into their own anarchist communes and join under the umbrella of the Global Defense Council. This makes the Global Defense Council the formable "nation" with the most possible cores. Notably, The Global Defense Council is not allowed to create collaborationist governments.
The ability to dynamically core any state comes at the expense of all other countries becoming hostile towards the GDC and will actively take steps to destroy it. The GDC cannot form or join factions and other nations will be hostile toward it. The GDC essentially stands alone against the entire world. A bug however allows other nations to form factions with Global Defense Council.

Greater German Reich[edit | edit source]
Representing a realization (in name) of Adolf Hitler's plans to forge a German nation spanning from the Low Countries to the Ural Mountains, Hearts of Iron 4 has far lower requirements for forming it.
To even be able to see the decision to form the Greater German Reich, the German Reich must be fascist and fully control Ile de France (16) when either France doesn't exist or has capitulated. To actually form the nation the states of Leningrad (195) and Stalingrad (217) must be under German control. In addition, all owned German states must be under German control. In effect, this means that any kind of Allied incursion into German territory will disqualify Germany from forming the Greater German Reich until said incursion is driven off.

Greater Lithuania[edit | edit source]
Formable by Lithuania as part of the fascist branch of their national focus tree, Greater Lithuania represents a restoration of the old Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which existed as early as the early 11th century (consolidated during the 12th century) until its demise during the final partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1795.
In order to form this nation, Lithuania must progress down the fascist branch of their national focus tree by opting to free fascist politician Augustinas Voldemaras from prison. As the leader of the fascist Iron Wolf movement, Voldemaras will begin to gain popular support and gradually subvert the government and turn the nation towards fascism.
Once in power, Lithuania will now be able to go on the warpath and start expanding into its neighbors, by laying claim to Lower Lithuania (or Königsberg) from Germany and Livonia from Estonia and Latvia, either invade or ideologically align Poland by supporting their native fascists and demanding the return of Vilnius (Wilno in Polish) from them in either case. Lastly, the ultimate ambition of a resurgent Greater Lithuania is to smash the Soviet Union and conquer the fertile lands of Ukraine and restore the historical borders of Lithuania from before Russia even existed as a unified polity. When fully realised, Greater Lithuania will comprise the entirety of the Baltics, eastern Poland, all of Ukraine and a large chunk of Western Russia, putting the border between Russia and Greater Lithuania right on the outskirts of Moscow itself.

Holy Roman Empire[edit | edit source]
The Holy Roman Empire is a formable nation that represents the original H.R.E which was formed as a successor nation of the West Roman Empire in 800 and existed from 962 to 1806. It can only be formed by the German Reich if they change ideology to Non-Aligned and go through a specific set of events.
- Formation
It is a little difficult to reform the Holy Roman Empire as it requires a special set of actions to be taken and requires a little luck in order for the correct events to happen.
To reform this nation, the focus Oppose Hitler must be chosen. In addition, the Hindenburg must survive, by using the air safety regulation decision, by being at war until the 5th of May 1937 (patched at some point, taking the decision to restore british titles now requires that the Hindeburg survives the event, otherwise a flag is never tripped), taking t, or by a 30% chance. After the civil war is won, the focus Revive the Kaiserreich must be chosen, as well as Return of the Kaiser. After this focus is chosen, the Netherlands must be made to block the return of Wilhelm II, and then the option to return Wilhelm III to Germany must be chosen instead. This can be achieved by allowing the Dutch army to be stronger than the German, which, if not achieved through the losses of the civil war, can be done by disbanding most, if not all, of the army. Then, the focus An Alliance with the Shade, as well as its prerequisites, must be completed. Doing so gives three successive decisions: Reinstate Prince Wilhelm's Right of Succession, then Modernize the Succession Laws, and then Request Restoration of British Titles, one after the other after which Britain proposes a royal ceremony to restore the titles. Victoria Louise must be sent ahead of time to serve as a liaison. Unfortunately, the Royal Family will die in a crash on the Hindenburg, but Victoria Louise survives, becoming Victoria I, the new Kaiserin. With Victoria I in power, Germany is now eligible to restore the Holy Roman Empire and simply needs to conquer the requisite territories to enact the decision.

Iberia[edit | edit source]
Iberia represents a united Iberian peninsula, in a similar fashion to the Iberian Union that existed from 1580 to 1640. Unlike most other formable nations, Iberia is not formed through a decision but is instead created through national focuses. It can be formed by either Portugal, 
Carlist Spain or Anarchist Spain. Regardless of who forms the nation, in addition to all Portuguese and Spanish States, forming Iberia will also give the player a core on Gibraltar (thus allowing the player to reclaim the peninsula without turning historical off and hoping the UK opts to revisit it's colonial policy).
Formation[edit | edit source]

To form Iberia as Portugal, you have to go Communist by doing the focus 
Workers of Iberia, Unite!, which will cause a civil war in Portugal and join 
Republican Spain in the Spanish Civil War. Once the Spanish Civil War has ended, completing the focus 
The Iberian Socialist Union will allow Portugal to become Iberia and gain cores all Spanish cored states. Spain will get an event to choose to be annexed.
As Carlist Spain[edit | edit source]
To form Iberia as Carlist Spain, win the Spanish Civil War and complete the focus Restore the Iberian Union. Portugal will then get an event where if it accepts, Spain will annex and gain cores on Portugal. If it refuses, Spain will get a 
War goal. Chances of acceptance increase significantly if Portugal has completed the focus 
The Royal Iberian Alliance. Portugal will always say yes if it is a puppet of Spain.
As the Regional Defense Council of Aragón[edit | edit source]
To form Iberia as Regional Defense Council of Aragón, complete the focus 
Portuguese Anarchism to start a civil war in Portugal where Anarchist Spain joins the 
Anarchists. If Portugal is already in a civil war, Anarchist Spain will get a War goal instead. Once Portugal is under Spanish control, they will become a puppet. Completing the focus 
Regional Defense Council of Iberia will annex Portugal and become Regional Defense Council of Iberia.
As Communist Spain[edit | edit source]
To form Iberia as 
Communist Spain, win the Spanish Civil War and complete the focus 
A Red Iberia. If Portugal is Communist then it will get an event where if it accepts Communist Spain will annex and gain cores on Portugal. If it refuses, Communist Spain will get a War goal.

Imperial Federation[edit | edit source]
 |
Available only with the Man the Guns DLC enabled. |
The Imperial Federation is a special formable nation that only appears in the Man The Guns DLC and can only be formed by the United Kingdom as part of its National Focus Tree. The Imperial Federation was a proposal presented in the late 19th and early 20th century as the future of the British Empire was beginning to grow uncertain. Under the Imperial Federation proposal, the British Empire was to be unified into a single federal superstate in order to preserve both the empire and its relevance in the world. This ultimately never happened, as the Great Depression and the outbreak of both World Wars meant that colonial home rule was maintained due to social, military, and economic strains and eventually, the British Empire fell apart when the dominions gained independence, with the United States taking Great Britain's place as the primary world superpower. The remnants on the British Empire continue to exist in the form of the Commonwealth of Nations as well as the proposed CANZUK union and Pacific Union. In Hearts of Iron 4, however, with skillful gameplay, a player can not only form the Imperial Federation, thus ensuring the survival and continued existence (and power) of the British Empire but the empire can even be expanded to the point of becoming something resembling a global hyper-power (i:e something bigger and stronger than even a global superpower).
The formation of the Imperial Federation is one of the lengthiest processes in the game; even if one dedicates all of their efforts to unite the British Empire, one should still not expect to be able to form this nation until 4 years have passed at the earliest (around 1940). Despite that, however, with the Imperial Federation possessing the potential to (at its greatest size) allow one to merge the United Kingdom, United States, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, 
Belgium, 
Luxembourg, Canada, 
South Africa, 
British Raj, 
Australia, 
New Zealand, and with some luck or save-loading, Spain, Portugal, and 
Brazil into a single superstate united under one banner with cores on all nations mentioned, making the Imperial Federation easily by far the one of strongest formable nations and the formable nation with the second most possible cores, only behind the Global Defense Council (if it is even able to be considered a "nation").
The Imperial Federation can be formed with any ideology except for Communism.
Formation[edit | edit source]
In order to form the Imperial Federation, the national focus
Reinforce the Empire must be taken to start down the path to founding the Imperial Federation. After that, the national focus 
Commonwealth Ties opens up the branch that ultimately leads to the Imperial Federation. This branch contains a series of national focuses that develop the UK's dominions by adding industry and building slots, along with slightly reducing the dominion's autonomy level due to the investment.
One important focus found in this branch is the 
Indian Autonomy which must be completed before the Imperial Conference is begun; otherwise the British Raj will never agree to the proposal to form the Imperial Federation. Since this focus grants the Raj increasing autonomy, to annex the Raj as quickly as possible, autonomy should ideally be granted immediately before the Imperial Conference. However, it is possible to form the Imperial Federation without India; if they reject but all other dominions accept, you'll be given a choice to either continue forming the Federation with the other dominions but let India become free, or keep the British Raj as a subject but not form the Federation at all.
Throughout this entire process, the United Kingdom must ensure that it maintains control over all of its dominions (
Canada, South Africa, British Raj, Australia and New Zealand) as they are all required for the final focus. It doesn't matter if some dominions break away before the Imperial Conference begins, as they can be reconquered and re-puppeted (although losing South Africa can cause complications in getting their cores - see Note 2 below). The UK simply needs to control all of the dominions while the two final focuses are carried out.
As Democratic UK, maintaining control over all its dominions is simple, but Monarchist or Fascist Britain will have some complications. A Fascist Britain will have the dominions each move to declare independence starting 180 days after Britain turns Fascist, and must either secure them before they break away with Move to Secure the Dominions, or reconquer them with Appeal to Imperial Loyalists and/or Bring the Dominions Back Into the Fold. Move to Secure the Dominions prevents them from breaking away but leaves them with high autonomy; the Ally the Imperialist Uprising creates revolter countries that become Integrated Puppets or Reichskommissariats when allied and puppeted, meaning you can form the Federation immediately after the conference instead of waiting to reduce their autonomy to that level.
Fascist and Monarchist Britain should be careful, since Bring the Dominions Back Into the Fold gives you claims on all core states of any dominion not in your faction at the time that focus completes, leading to -10 opinion with that dominion per claimed state; Canada, in particular, has 15 core states, causing a basically insurmountable -150 opinion penalty and making it difficult to guarantee they accept the eventual Federation proposal. To get around this, Fascist Britain can use Move to Secure the Dominions, preventing them from breaking away in the first place. Monarchist Britain can use the event where if a dominion's imperialist uprising wins its civil war without Britain taking the decision "Ally the Imperialist Uprising" it will ask to join Britain as a puppet anyway; note that this event does not fire for a Fascist uprising. A few divisions of heavy infantry volunteers are usually enough to make Canada's imperialist uprising win.
Alternately, the Imperial Conference and Imperial Federation can be done where some of the dominions don't exist, provided their core states are all owned by the UK; a Monarchist or Fascist Britain can thus conquer their dominions outright and puppet at least one of them, and still form the Federation.
BE WARNED! If you use the national focus "Appeal to Imperial Loyalists" to instigate pro-imperial uprisings in the dominions, this will cause said uprisings to spawn as revolter countries that use a dynamic country tag and not the dominions' real country tag. This is important because it causes the later national focuses, decisions, and events that deal with the dominions (like the generation of cores when the Imperial Federation is created) to not work properly, thus undermining the primary benefit of the Imperial Federation. As such, it is best to simply invade, conquer and annex the dominions by yourself and then manually release them as puppets again and bring down their autonomy to facilitate their merger with the United Kingdom.
The best way to secure the dominions without any issues as fascist or monarchist Britain is as follows:
As fascist Britain: Store up enough political power beforehand and use the national focus "Move to Secure the Dominions" to enforce the loyalty of all dominions and stop any of them from breaking away. With proper play in terms of political power and troop placement, it is possible to retain all dominions in the fold and stop any of them from breaking away. If not, see the monarchist section below.
As monarchist Britain: Use the national focus "Appeal to Imperial Loyalists" to instigate pro-imperial uprisings in the dominions, then send in volunteers to help the revolter nations win and overthrow the disloyal government. Do this in all of the dominions and as long as you do not take any decision under "Ally the Imperial Uprising", this will cause an event to fire after victory where the revolter nation offers to join the British Empire as an integrated puppet. Accept, then reduce their autonomy until you can annex them. After this, release the real dominion (as the revolter nations use dynamic country tags and are not the real dominions). Do this with all dominions and once all dominions have been restored back to the British Empire and are in a faction with the United Kingdom, take the national focus "Bring the Dominions Back into the Fold. This avoids the opinion penalty normally caused by the claims generated by said national focus.
Once the dominions are secured, Britain can continue down the focus tree to the Imperial Conference. The first of the final two focuses in question is the Imperial Conference, which unlocks a series of decisions that allow the UK and the dominions to discuss matters concerning the whole British Empire. In order to successfully push through all of the proposals in the Imperial Conference, the player should save a minimum of 300 political power, and preferably 600-700 PP, in order to convince the dominions to accept the unification by improving relations (10 points times five dominions) and choosing to spend extra PP on each decision (up to additional PP per proposal). The British Raj must earlier have been satisfied by the Indian Autonomy focus in order to accept any proposals, regardless of diplomatic relations with the UK or extra PP spent.
When the conference starts, each dominion gets -100 opinion with the UK for the duration of the conference, effectively canceling out the +50 from being in faction and +50 from being a puppet. Only one decision can be debated at a time. The player will have two months (60 days) to carry out all five decisions; each decision resolves quickly. The decisions, including Discuss Imperial Federation, can be taken in any order.
Conference Decisions
| Decision | Cost (PP) | Effect if successful (per agreeing dominion) |
| Imperial Defense | 50 | +3% MIL and dockyard output (one year) Dominion: +10% Mil and dockyard output (one year), +10 opinion of UK |
| Imperial Trade | 50 | UK: Trade relation with dominion +50 Dominion: +10 opinion of UK; change Trade Law to Free Trade (construction +15%, research +10%, factory/dockyard output +15%, resources to market 80%, civilian intel to others +40%, navy intel to others +20%) |
| Imperial Economy | 50 | +3% CIV, MIL, and dockyard construction speed (one year) Dominion: +10% CIV, MIL, and dockyard construction speed (one year), +10 opinion of UK |
| Appeasement | 50 | UK: +3% war support Dominion: +10% war support, +10 opinion of UK |
| Form Imperial Federation | 100 | Agree to form Federation; if all dominions agree, each gets -3 autonomy per day |
When taken, each decision triggers an event where the UK can choose to spend different amounts of Political Power to convince the dominions to agree to the proposals. Which option you choose, combined with each dominion's opinion of the UK, determines how likely they are to agree; higher-PP options and higher opinion make the dominion more likely to agree. If a dominion agrees to the proposal, their opinion of the UK will increase, increasing the chances of them agreeing to the final decision; the more decisions that the dominions agree to, the more likely they are to accept the Imperial Federation. Benefits of the four 50-PP decisions accrue to each dominion that agrees and stack for the UK. The odds of each dominion agreeing to the Federation decision are shown in the table below; the four 50-PP decisions are the same except that the last three rows are the same as the 75..79 row. The four 50-PP decisions can be accepted only by some dominions with reduced value to the UK. The Federation decision must be accepted either unanimously, or by all dominions except India, to have any effect. The odds of the successful passage of the Federation proposal are thus the chance below for each of the five dominions multiplied together. The net probability of all five dominions agreeing lies between 3.1% in the worst case to 100% in the best.
Imperial Federation Decision Chance
| Relations | "Hope" +0 PP | "Press" +25 PP | "Extensive" +50 PP |
|---|---|---|---|
| < 0 | 50% | 67% | 75% |
| 0..24 | 56% | 71% | 79% |
| 25..49 | 61% | 76% | 82% |
| 50..74 | 66% | 80% | 85% |
| 75..79 | 71% | 83% | 88% |
| 80..89 | 71% | 83% | 100% |
| 90..99 | 71% | 100% | 100% |
| 100 | 100% | 100% | 100% |
If all dominions agree to form the Federation, an event will fire that causes all dominions to begin to lose autonomy at a rate of 3,0 per day. Despite that, even when combined with the 
Suppress Subjects, it could still take around 4 years before the UK can reduce their autonomy to the Integrated Puppet level. The process can be hastened by the usual means of reducing subject autonomy along with the Imperial Federation autonomy reduction. As each dominion reaches a lower autonomy level, additional PP must be spent to lower that dominion to the next level.
Once all of the dominions have been reduced to the Integrated Puppet autonomy level, the player can take the final national focus 
Imperial Federation. Once that focus completes, the UK will annex all of its dominions, adopt a new name and flag, change its color to a deep red color, and will gain cores on all of the dominion territories apart from the whole of India and Transvaal in South Africa. The UK will also inherit all military units and military leaders from its former dominions.
In addition to the core Federation, multiple possibilities for expanding the Empire exist:
First, if the United Kingdom defeats the United States in war through the national focus 
Unite Anglosphere and all American cores are owned and controlled by the UK, a decision called "Create Pan-North-American State" will appear and once chosen, all North American territories owned by the UK will be given to Canada, which will have its name changed to the Dominion of North America, and gain cores on all US cores, including Alaska along with a new flag. After that is done, once the Imperial Federation is formed, the UK will also gain cores on all US core territory, greatly increasing both population, resource, and industrial capacity and expanding the Imperial Federation to an even greater size. For best results, one should complete the national focus Imperial Conference and carry out all decisions in it first, then annex the United States and give all of their territories to Canada, and then finally complete the national focus Imperial Federation after all that.
Second, if the United Kingdom is Fascist, then after the Imperial Federation is formed with the United States included, this opens up the curious fact of the United Kingdom being the only country that is allowed to form the European Union while fascist, allowing the Imperial Federation to be expanded to its greatest possible size. The Imperial Federation simply needs to conquer and annex the starting core states of the EU:s constituent countries (France, Germany, Italy, and the Low countries) to unlock the decision to integrate them. If then formed, this Imperial "Super" Federation (comprising the British Empire, the United States, and the European Union territories) will have a combined core population of nearly half a billion people (or nearly 500 million people, around the same level as the core population of 
India or China!).
Finally, if your dominions form nations and get new core states, you can get cores on them as the Imperial Federation. There are two dominions capable of doing so: New Zealand can form Polynesia and South Africa can form Mutapa. (Note that the Imperial Federation can not get core on British Malaya or Greater Indonesian Confederacy.) However, New Zealand needs independence or dominion autonomy level, and South Africa needs to be fully independent for them to form these nations Making this process difficult in singleplayer without console commands. Also, Polynesia requires Hawaii to be formed, this means that you will need some effort to create both the pan-American state (needed for cores in the USA) and Polynesia.
Through cores being transferred from formable to formable, it's possible to core even more land. Spain can be included in the Imperial "Super" Federation through two formable nations, the Kingdom of Franco-Spain, and the Franco-British Union. The Kingdom of Franco-Spain can be formed by Bourbon France with the focus Unite the Crowns. The Franco-British Union can also be formed by France if they capitulate to the German Reich whilst allied to the United Kingdom. While forming the Franco-British Union may seem redundant, as cores are gained on France through the founding of the European Union, but not all French cores are cored from forming the European Union, but the Franco-British Union does transfer all French cores to the United Kingdom. This allows not just the coring of Spain through the Kingdom of Franco-Spain, but also most of France’s colonies through the French focus French Union and Pyrénées-Atlantique because Paradox forgot to update the decision to form the European Union when they added this state. Spain can unite with another nation and their cores will also get transferred over, Portugal. Monarchist Spain can unite with Portugal to form Iberia with the focus Restore the Iberian Union. Portugals inclusion also adds 
Angola through the focus Luso-Tropicalism (
Mozambique is already covered with Mutapa) and yet another formable nation, the United Kingdom of Portugal and Brazil, with it being formed buy the Portuguese focus The Kingdom Reunited, thus owning all of Brazil.
The Imperial Federation will thus have been founded, ensuring that the British Empire shall indeed endure the test of time and last a thousand years Winston Churchill once said. Rule Britannia!!
Note 1: ENG will not receive cores from the British Raj or British Malaya to illustrate cultural differences (also done to counteract the OPness of gaining full access to all Indian manpower, which even British Raj/India doesn’t get).
Note 2: When playing as monarchist UK with non-historical AI, there is a chance that the UK will not receive cores on South Africa even after a successful Imperial Conference. As of patch 1.10.3, the UK being granted South African cores requires that South Africa has completed the "Police Windhoek" national focus. If South Africa's "Support the Policy of Appeasement" focus isn't completed before the Dominions break with the Crown in 1936, the Police Windhoek focus will be blocked, making it impossible for the UK to receive South African cores via the Imperial Federation. (If historical AI is enabled, select Support the Policy of Appeasement and Police Windhoek before the Dominions break away, avoiding this issue.)

Kingdom of Franco-Spain[edit | edit source]
The Kingdom of Franco-Spain is a monarchic union between France and Spain that can be formed by France if they go monarchist under the Legitimists and completes the national focus Unite the Crowns.
Note that if Spain managed to form the Iberian Union with Portugal after the latter formed the United Kingdom of Portugal and Brazil, France will also gain cores on all Portuguese and Brazilian States as well, creating an empire comparable to the European Union or the Imperial Federation in terms of population, industry and potential military power.

Kingdom of Livonia[edit | edit source]
The Kingdom of Livonia is a formable nation that can be created by Lithuania as part of the monarchist branch of the national focus tree and is effectively an alternative version of the Baltic Federation, albeit exclusive to Lithuania.
Historically, it is a continuation of the many different polities that once existed in the area under the name of Livonia, tracing their lineage all the way back to the Livonian tribe of the Early Middle Ages before the area was Christianised. More specifically, the Kingdom of Livonia is most likely a restoration of either the Duchy of Livonia (which existed from 1561 to 1621) or the original Kingdom of Livonia (which existed from 1570 to 1578) or it could be interpreted as being connected to the long succession of Livonian governorates that existed from the 1620s to 1918 under Swedish, Polish and later Russian rule.
After crowning Karl Gero von Urach as King of Lithuania under the regnal name of Mindaugas III, Lithuania can then proceed to claim the lands of Livonia (comprising Estonia and Latvia) through the national focus tree of the same name. This will cause Lithuania to become the Kingdom of Livonia, changing both its flag and map colour in addition to gaining cores on all of the territories of Estonia and Latvia, along with a conquest war goal in said nations for good measure.
A follow-up focus named "Kingdom of Poland" allows Livonia to also claim the throne of Poland and facilitate a reunification of the two countries (citing the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth). If Poland refuses the offer but monarchist support in the country is high enough, a civil war will ignite between the government and the royalists, the latter of which will have Poland join Livonia if they win (Poland will become a puppet of the Kingdom of Livonia and switch their map colour to match Livonia).
Kingdom of Poland-Romania[edit | edit source]
The Kingdom of Poland-Romania is another monarchic union that can be established, in this case between Poland and 
Romania.
Historically, the Kingdom of Poland existed in various iterations from as early as 1025 AD until its demise in 1795. The kingdom was restored in a way as the semi-autonomous polity of Congress Poland, existing from 1815 to 1867, with an attempted real restoration during the November Uprisings of 1830-1831 and the January Uprising of 1864. After this, Poland's autonomy was severely curtailed and the Kingdom of Poland thereafter was mostly a formality, existing only on paper. After the collapse of the Russian Empire in 1917, the Kingdom of Poland was re-established by the German Empire and a Regency Council was inaugurated with the task of electing a king to the vacant throne. This ultimately never came to pass, as Germany was defeated by the Entente and signed an armistice on the 11th November 1918. The Regency Council of the newly formed Kingdom of Poland failed to crown a King before Marshal Józef Piłsudski declared the Second Polish Republic, which still exists in 1936.
However, Polish monarchism may not be completely dead yet, and Poland can opt to fulfill the 5th of November Act, a promise made by the Central Powers to release a Kingdom of Poland from the occupied territories of the Russian Empire. Once the Regency Council has been assembled anew, three claimants to the throne may be chosen from; The Hohenzollern (Michael II of Romania), The Commonwealth Claimant (Friedrich Christian of the House of Wettin), and the Cossack-King (Pavel Bermondt-Avalov, a warlord, a cossack, and a Georgian Prince).
Out of these options, the Commonwealth Claimant (Friedrich Chrstian of Wettin) will allow Poland to seek a restoration of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, while the Hohenzollern (Michael II of Romania) will open up the path towards forming the Kingdom of Poland-Romania.
Poland and Romania enjoyed close relations in the timeframe leading up to World War II, and with the throne of Poland vacant, Poland can elevate these relations to new heights by electing a Romanian king. From here, the two nations can be united into one kingdom under the right circumstances; either by Polish pressure or if Romania completes the national focus "King Michael's Coup". With Poland and Romania united into one kingdom, Poland-Romania may either align itself with the Allies or appoint a royal dictatorship and seek to expand further by conquering 
Slovakia and Hungary by restoring the union of Poland-Hungary.
Once fully realised, the Kingdom of Poland-Romania will form a powerful wall between the Axis and Comintern, taking a similar role as the late Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Austro-Hungarian Empire as a monarchic union state that acts as the guardian of stability in the region.

Macedonian Empire[edit | edit source]
The Macedonian Empire is the recreation of Alexander the Great's Empire spanning from Greece to India which formed during his reign of 336-323 BC and fell apart almost immediately after Alexander's death. As Greece it may be formed with the Fascist leader George Mercouris and the Molding the New World Order Focus or with the Monarchist leader George II and the Protectors of the Mediterranean focus.

Some would call it madness to harken back to the days of Alexander the Great's empire, but to truly cement the Third Hellenic Civilization we must return wholly to the first from which we originated.
It is time to collate our gathered satrapies into one centralized superstate whose unification will show to the world that Greece is no longer a nation to be mocked or bullied, but an empire to be feared.

Mountainous Republic of the Northern Caucasus[edit | edit source]
Should the Soviet Union be dismantled for whatever reason, then one of the releasable successor states in the North Caucasus can decide to pick up the pieces of the fallen union and save what still can be saved by forming a united Mountainous Republic of the Northern Caucasus to prevent the lands north of the Caucasus from falling under foreign influence. The nation takes its name from the briefly-existing Mountainous Republic of the Northern Caucasus.
In order to form North Caucasia, most of the area between the Don River and Caucassus in the Soviet Union must be controlled.
Unite the Mountainous Republics
During the Russian Civil war, the great Tapa Tchermoeff attempted to unite the Republics located in the Northern Caucasus under a shared banner, in order to fend off the Russian invaders.

Ostland[edit | edit source]
Not to be confused with Reichskommissariat Ostland, a puppet state formable by Germany.
Available as part of Latvia's fascist path, Ostland is an oddball case when it comes to formable nations, as it is an artifical state invented by Germany and can be established by Latvia for personal benefit and profit.
In order to form Ostland, Latvia must take the national focus Latvia for Latvians to start progressing down their fascist path. From here, they can court the fascist Thunder Cross movement and its leader, Gustavs Celmiņš. This is a delicate balancing act, however, as if the Thunder Cross movement grows too powerful too fast, they will attempt to overthrow the government, which will cause the whole scheme to collapse in on itself and a civil war to erupt.
Once Gustavs Celmiņš and the Thunder Cross are in power, peacefully or not, they can opt to do something very strange; namely, align themselves with Germany and adopt the mantle of Reichskommissariat Ostland and serve their german masters by occupying the Baltics, Belarus and perhaps more beyond that. This is rather strange, as it essentially involves Latvia taking advantage of german designs and ambitions for the area to form a nation of their own as a reward for loyalty; effectively establishing Gustavs Celmiņš and the Thunder Cross as the Quislings of Eastern Europe. That being said, Latvia does get to remain independent and not become a puppet of Germany, which opens up the possibility of establishing puppet states of your own to expand Ostland's realm further and later breaking free from Germany and becoming fully sovereign (similar to Vichy France), allowing Ostland to evolve from a mere reichskommissariat and artifical invention to an undisputed reality and legitimate state in its own right.

Ottoman Sultanate & Empire[edit | edit source]
Waking the Tiger DLC. Stripes indicate states that are not required to form but will get cores.The Ottoman Sultanate is a formable nation that represents the Turkish nation that was formed in 1299 and dominated the Middle East and Arabia between the 14th and 20th centuries in which it was most commonly known as the Ottoman Empire. It entered into a period of stagnation and decline from the mid-1700s onwards and finally collapsed because of their involvement in the First World War in 1918, being officially dissolved in 1922-1923 with Turkey being the successor state.

The Persian Empire (not to be confused with
