How to annex a country without declaring war?

[YABW(d)]

Hi there!

I am play as France around the 1900s with Victoria Ultimate mod.
Too many years ago, the Spanish crown has released The Lima State. A state in whole Mexico's and South America's lands. The British crown did the same thing, by releasing The Manitoba State (wich is independent now) in Canada's lands.

I don' really like these released states. So, I would like to annex it, but not by declaring war (I am sur that you understand that The Lima State is too big XD).

Please, is there a cheat code that allows me to annex these countries without declaring war?
Thanks.

You'd have to look up the country tag but every Paradox game I've ever played(never tried it in vicky 2 though so idk) had it as "annex [country tag]" for example today in eu4 I tried to use annex DEN for Denmark(forgot it was an ironman mode game lol)

link for the mod?

@Luftwaffles, if you have a look to my profile, you can see that I have EU 4. So I already try annex [TAG] code. Unfortunately it didn't work... But thank you for answering!

@The Soviet Soldier, I took the mod many many months ago and I don't remember the site... sorry

Any suggestion?

You could always try out changeowner [TAG] [province id] command. This may of course lead to some peculiar situations, like military troops and ships owned by non existing nations.

And you may find newer versions of ultimate mod here: http://ultimaterebooted.boards.net/thread/310/victoria-ultimate-fixes-2015-thread

Also, if you use that mod, remember to switch you game version to 3.03, otherwise it will just crash.

Use the console and type in "showprovinceid". Then type in the code "changeowner (Tag) (province id).

@Alexander Alexandrov, thank you, but I want to annex these countries with a code like "annex [TAG]", as it work in EUIV, not to swich into these countries...

I know its old af but you can use "event 60120" to country you want to annex, by change Tag first for the "event" and then change back to your country to accept the "event"

[a.k.a DMDonahue]

-debug influence
-debug alwaysdiplo
-you can then add the country to your sol
-type debug influence again after your done or the ai will have a stroke when you unpause
-event 60120 {country tag you wish to annex}

I know I'm pretty late, but I made some scripts that allow you to annex any country by triggering an event chain.

country_event = {
	id = 60160
	title = "Annexation?"
	desc = "A diplomatic romour talks about $COUNTRY$ beeing annexed."
	picture = "greatpowers"
	
	is_triggered_only = yes
	
	option = {
		name = "Let's see where this leads"
		any_country = {
			limit = {
				ai = no
			}
			country_event = { id=60170 days=0 }
		}	
	}

and

country_event = {
	id = 60170
	title = "Diplomatic Annexation!"
	desc = "Due to works of fate and a series of incredible events, $COUNTRY$ has peacefully annexed $FROMCOUNTRY$"
	picture = "Unite"
	
	is_triggered_only = yes
	
	option = {
		name = "The political enviroment keeps amazing us"
		FROM = {
			any_owned{
				secede_province = THIS
			}
		}
	}
}

You just need to add two .txt files (one for each code) to the events folder in your game files and you should be able to, for example, "event 60160 CHI" to annex china. This allows you to annex a country without needing to be GP to put the country in your SoI.

Hope this helps.
