Please note I know most of these are not technically by definition an ideology; I just followed the style of vanilla OWB which more describes a type of government. Also if they are not fully accurate to a particular countries lore, I am sorry, I tried my best! I have also made every appropriate ideology unable to be selected as a ideology from randomly generated leader; E.G. you won't see a country in Canada with the Texas Republicanism ideology.

I made this mod without any contact with other modders, so if the OWB team or another submod team wishes to integrate my mod, I'd be happy to with credit, just please message me before so!

@Александр no update is needed it just has some weird compatibility issues with some mods (I am looking into some rn)
Александр Nov 24 @ 2:43pm 
We need UPDATE.
V-Zer0 Nov 20 @ 8:53am 
weird that the bugged save has the unbugged ideology stuff....
V-Zer0 Nov 20 @ 8:51am 
Second launch: yes the save may have bugged cus Dornan is back, Murphy's not leading the ncr and the icons are back to wild wasteland spiral
V-Zer0 Nov 20 @ 8:47am 
So I wanna add to my comment below: I launched the game after checking the list, suddenly on save load Enclave wasn't lead by Dornan (it was game start and no focuses done) and the icons seem to have returned. At the time of writing I am relaunching to do a fresh start to see if it's normal
V-Zer0 Nov 20 @ 8:13am 
@BonerLicky Thank you. Checked rn and DHR is 31 and BI is 81, and that's the way I had it when I made the list.

@V-Zer0 @Gaminghoopa So I have tested booting up OWB on my end, with all the other submods, and I havent gotten any missing or broken countries-granted I haven't played HOI4 in a few months.
@V-Zer0 That list that you made is all the countries that I gave custom ideologies, which means that the ideology file is being overridden by another mod (not OWB:BI)... I think the only mod on my compatibility list that adds custom ideologies is Duty, Honor, Republic. I'd try double checking OWB:BI is listed below those mods or see if disabling DHR will have those ideologies pop up again
Gaminghoopa Nov 19 @ 4:32pm 
Having the same issue with countries as V-Zer0 without using any additional mods beside normal OWB
V-Zer0 Nov 16 @ 4:30pm 
So I have some issues, there are quite a few missing/broken countries lacking a new icon and description, instead replaced with wildwasteland icon and _desc.

Those are (afaik): (on a pastebin cus it's more than 1000 letters/symbols) https://pastebin.com/EQ735QdW

mind you I have all the mods listed above as well as map filler due to rustbelt being out of date rn
