Choose Ideology at Game Start
[1.9.3] Allows human players to switch their country’s ruling ideology at the beginning of the game with no cost. It also adds 50% popularity of the selected ideology so it has the majority. It can be found in the decisions menu. You can only switch once and is only available on the first in-game day in the 1936 scenario.
Not recommended for countries with non-generic focus trees because it will probably screw up their focus path, but there’s nothing stopping you.
I made this mod because I found the rush to flip ideologies at the beginning of the game very boring and tedious. I think of it as an alternate history mod, if X country was actually Y.
Compatibility: Almost everything, as long as the mod doesn’t remove the 4 main ideologies. Mods that start before 1936 will let you switch ideologies up until 2 Jan, 1936. Mods that add more ideologies aren’t compatible, you won’t be able to switch to the added ideologies, but it would be easy to patch.
