Hearts of Iron 4 Modding Puppet Problem

[Asaria]

Hello everyone! I'm pretty new to Hoi4 modding, and really I'm mostly doing this for fun since I've always enjoyed alternate history.

Currently I am attempting to make a mod based around the show "Code Geass" and so far, everything had been going well.

However; I'm having trouble with a puppet.

Earlier, I had no problems making puppets for the Britannian Empire; but while attempting to make a puppet for China, it keeps screwing the country over. It keeps messing up the ideologies and saying no leader is selected. When I start the game, it says the country is a puppet of China still, but everything is screwed up.

Whats even more strange, is I set the country to be a puppet of Britannia to test out what was wrong...And it worked! For some reason it doesn't mess up when it's a puppet of Britannia

Here's some pictures to show what I mean https://imgur.com/a/ozDFtT4

I've looked over my files and can't find anything that would be causing this; and it's making me kinda exhausted trying to find the issue.

It's annoyingly easy to fix. Just make sure that in your country tag list, the puppets are always put after the overlord nation. Making that one small change fixed it for me
