How to make an actual OP nation using console commands, in Hearts of Iron IV

a guide on how to turn your nation into an actual powerhouse using commands, and without the need to type them again.

general notes

firstly open you console command by pressing the ~ button

-type in manpower 1000000000 (dont include too much 0s or your manpower will go minus like wtf)
-type in research all
(always remember to use this command first before ale)
-type in ale 1000000000, for a buckload of equipments
you can also use the xp command so that you can edit your equipments out and then do the ale command to recieve bucketloads of even better tanks planes etc.
-type in ic
fill in your nation with all of the good stuff like forts naval bases radar nuclear reactors and stuff like that
type in ic again, and also dont do this without pausing the gametime, because ic (instantconstruction) command also affects ai nations
-theres also another cheat called fa which is short for focus autocomplete, this will essentially make every single focus finish within one click and focus.ignoreprerequisites to make you able to go through all focuses, and focus.nochecks to go past everything even ones that are locked if you picked another focus
do remember that these three also affects the AI, so only use it if you're paused.

type in xp, for 500 points on all power aspects (army, naval, and air experience)
type in cp, for 100 command points
type in pp (two times)
type in tp, so that your army can teleport now
get all of the good stuff

and then voila, a starter nation that can make luxembourg an actual world power even tho its a one tile one province nation.

Here is what I do every time i play (all dlc):

manpower (without a number it gives 10,000,000 mp)
pp 9999 (almost always maxes out in every mod and vanilla)
cp (almost always maxes out cp)
xp 9999 (maxes out xp in vanilla and most mods)
agency.instant (Instantly complete all agency related stuff)
research all (Name gives it away)
fa (Complete all focuses instantly)
tp (teleport troops when commanded by player)
it (instant training (Instantly trains all troops and iirc instant completes ships)
decision.fastremove (completes decisions in a day)
whenever i want i will do ic and pause and do what i need and then type it in again

Ebin guide

[Insmarechale]

you could but that would mess up the national focuses for the AI
i suggest to not do that on any major or mid-class nations like the USA, germany, spain, manchukuo, etc. but should be fine on minor nations like albania, yemen, etc.

you could also use the observe command but i recommend to not use it since it'll ♥♥♥♥ up the pop-up system and can lead to popup spams or no popups at all

[lilMobStick]

Wouldn't you be able to load the savegame as germany, change whatever you want to change with the console, save the game, load it again, and play the save as a different nation?

[kornsuwin]

yes

[Insmarechale]

@StickyBoi ~set_ruling_party democratic (but you must play as germany though, the command changes the ideology of the nation that you're currently playing as)

[divorcedtaxfiler]

i need some help
what command would it be for germany to become democratic?
