Best codes with country tags

Country markers alone will be useless if you don’t know how to use them correctly. So I decided to prepare some interesting cheats that can be used in HOI4 in conjunction with the country tag.

tag <country>

you start playing for the country you mention

wp <country>

you will immediately be at white peace with the country in question

add_opinion <country>

improve the opinion of the target country by 100

add_interest <country>

sets your interest on that country

remove_interest <country>

removes interest on the country
