How do I create a puppet state ?
How do I create a puppet state ?

I usually play millenial dawn mod, but I am not too sure how to create a puppet state with or without war.

Generally it's events (focus tree or decisions) or winning a war.

Some focus trees let you pressure countries into becoming puppets (or you go to war and make them your puppet.)

Otherwise you can go to war and take their land/flip the government/puppet them from the victory screen.

Depending on how much land you have/the mod you're playing, you can release puppets directly from land you own, if it's a valid area. (e.g you can release a puppet of mexico only in mexico and only if you took the land)

In Millenium Dawn you can do this in 2 ways.
Through war and following peace conference or through influence. If you want do it through influence, you need to fulfill following demands:
- your country has > 80% of influence in targeted country;
- your country must be top influencer in targeted country;
- targeted country must be independent, at peace, have the same ideology as you.

How do I gain more influence in a target nation ?

RMB on the country > spread influence (magnet icon).

I do not have this option. Is this some sort of mod thing ?

As said. I do not have a button saying " spread influence " or something along this line. Not in the millenial dawn mod nor in the vanilla game.

In vanilla you won't have it. @drewbstar described all possible ways to obtain puppet country.

In Millenium Dawn mod, RMB on country you want as puppet and in goverment option are buttons connected to influence (but you need to have enough pp to be able to use them).
