National foci are a replacement for the Decisions in Hearts of Iron III. One national focus can be active at any given time, and each takes a certain number of days. When completed, they provide benefits. Each of the seven majors has a unique national focus tree and Poland also receives one through a free DLC. Other countries have a generic one.

National Unity can be affected by the traits of country leaders or political advisors, national spirits, national focuses, events etc. There also exist weekly National Unity modifiers.
When a country at war has lost a share of its Victory Points superior than its National Unity, it will capitulate (surrender).
For example, Poland holds 61 Victory Points in 1939 and has a 75% National Unity. If Poland losses more than 75% of its Victory Points, 46 points or more, it will capitulate. But because Warsaw is worth 30 VPs and Krakow 20 VPs on their own, Poland will not capitulate before losing both cities.
If the capitulating country is alone in the war, or if it is the last country to capitulate in the faction, then a Peace conference will start.
