How to create claims?

[Pappus]

I started my europe run in germany and europe as a federation desintegrated with a coup d'etat in france and now it actually is a german federation instead. However I don't have any claims with germany so I can't unify and I don't know how to get them either.

The EU is always headed from France. You need France to unify the EU.

game really sucks in explaining things up, i also do not understand how i can create a claim somewhere, lets say i want to anex syria with israel.... how do i do that?

[Rashka]

The only way to create claims is via projects you research. They're always the same claims created for the same countries. You can't create arbitrary claims.

Research a project that give claims. In this case probably "The Caliphate." Which is a project under the global research Unity Movements or something similar.

Yes, unification is supposed to be a major project. Took the EU in RL 40 years to get to the point its at at game start. That you can unify nations like North and South Korea, Big chunks of Africa and the ME are testimony to how scared ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ people are of Aliens.

The thing about claims that annoys me is that if a nation you have unified with gets a claim on a neighboring province, you don't actually have a claim there, so it would've been better if you waited and conquered the province with said nation before you annex it.

okay a question, is there a cooldown before the federation is available?
I have research "The Caliphate" and I control all countries from Egypt through the Arabian peninsula, Israel, Syria to Pakistan. When I open SaudiArabia with Jedda (which is the supposed capital) and hover over all allies (been allied for years) I still fail on the claim. I checked the desciption for the Caliphate and it listed lots of claims that should be available now.
Any tips?

Yeah Claims to reduce Command-Points are doable via Research. The only 1 Claim you have from beginning on are the EU and an other possible half-friendly Federation in Europe is manageable too.

Later you get some more possible Federations with Research (like the Arabian, Africa, South and Middle-America, Asia).

And the Comrade have right for the EU you need France (which is very expensive in Command Points from the Beginning). I testet it out.

to be precise.
I am in summer 2030 and I finished the project "The Califate" and I basically control the osman empire all the way to Pakistan. and all countries have been allies with each other for (game)years.
So I should be able to create the federation "The Caliphate" but how?

The Caliphate isn't an extension of Saudi Arabia like how the EU is really France, it's a unique nation, with its capitol in Jeddah. You need to have Saudi Arabia Grant Independence to the Caliphate.

There is an special Mission Button (not Council) in the List of your Agents to create Federations (like North- and South-Viatnam), make Peace between Countrys (like Russia and Ukraine)and so on. That Option costs 10 Influence.

I don´t know the English and German Word atm. Look for that Option in the Panel of you Agents, you will find it easyly.

I'll be damned, that worked. Thanks a lot gimmethegepgun and kingarthur772.
I did not find that information anywhere in the game. It makes kind of sense though.
