How does the national spirit and idea system work in the tool

hi, im making a mod to test out the new version of the tool, and i dont understand how do i make a proper national spirit/idea for my country.
Ty in advance.

To make a custom national spirit/idea for you country (i.e. using custom modifiers, such as + 81% production speed) you will need to use the Ideas tool.

To assign the idea(s) to your nation, you will need to either add the following in the "Allowed" box:

original_tag = TAG

(where TAG is the tag of your country)

Or go into your country, go to the "Misc" tab, and at the bottom there is a way to choose national spirits from your idea list(s).


If you are creating a simple idea, such as a government adviser, and don't need any custom modifiers, you can create them in the country tool, under the "Government" tab, add a name and image, and then select the trait(s) you want them to have.

thanks! but can i use modifiers from this part of the wiki: https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/List_of_modifiers

 

Yep! As long as it's valid for what you're doing, it should work.
