Any idea how to leave the Eurasian Union?

[VoiD]

Just wondering if I am missing something here, but I can't leave with Russia after consolidating power, the option is just not there.

Also, is there no way to capture any lands at all without a claim from techs?

Without claims, no annexion. IRL, you can't really annex another country easily without some historical/cultural justification that makes it remotely acceptable for the target population.

Once you get control of the exec point, all major political actions are put on a 6 month cool down. Its partly meant to prevent your from insta making the EU, partly meant to keep to AI from sneaking countries from you and pulling out federations before you can do anything.

Thanks, I'll try waiting some more, just wish there was a counter or something showing me what I am missing or how/if I can do it at all

If you purge another faction and get control of the country by force there should not be a cooldown if I read the tooltip correctly. But I cannot leave the Eurasian Federation as Kazakhstan. Don't understand the mechanic.

Are you sure there isn't any minimum time in control of the country to leave the federation ? There's a cooldown for most diplomatic actions.

Purge doesn't count as force afaict, coup and conquest do.

Got same problem, there is no way to leave mother russia ;/ would be nice if the grayed out options showed *why* they are not available

[VoiD]

What I did was to finish anexing everybody until there was no more eurasian union

You have to use the councilor mission set national policy on the country in question, there you can choose to leave your federation.

[Diedie [.]]

when you select your nation it count down 180 day. after count 0, you can use set national policy with your concuiler (i read he need to be an executive but i am not sure.) after select "leave federation"
but probably russia will attack you, so dont forget to take save before that.

This isn't working for me. I fully control both Russia and Kazakhstan. Russia's requirements for leaving the federation are met according to the mouse-over tip (including the cooldown). I try a "set national policy" and "leave federation is not an option. On the Kazakhstan side, neither the cooldown, nor the "Russia must not be lead nation in federation" are passing (which is why I took over Russia).

Maybe there's a way to get there, but the UI for this SUCKS! This game is already crazy-complicated without these inane rules that nobody can understand and you can only see via mouseover.

... Russia can't leave the Federation because it IS the Federation. What you are looking for from the Russian side is Cede territory.

When selecting a country there will be a small symbol on the upper right with your faction's symbol or commander. It will show how many days you have until you gain consolidate power (180 days after taking the executive point).

If you mouse over other countries in the relations bar you can see some of the policies they can do and what blocks them.

In real life you can make anything you want. Like russia now justifying claims on Israel, Buharest, Poland, Turkey.
So it would make sense if chancellors would be able to make claims on neighbors
