Hello! I am unable to make a staring country fascist, even if I set the ideologies and their popularity. I can set the traits of leaders, and the names of leaders, but I cannot set the popularity. Also, how does election frequency and last election work if you want a nation to be fascist?

Which mod & nation are you having issue setting the popularity of the leaders in?

As for election things, if the "Elections allowed?" checkbox isn't checked, then there will not be any elections unless the country changes ideology.

The election frequency is how many months should be between each election, if they are allowed.

Last election has to be set, but it is just the last day an official election would have been held; democratic nations use this to determine when their next election is, but nations without elections won't need it to be set to anything meaningful (it will still show in game, so don't set it as 1000.1.1 - but if the lore for your country is they turned fascist in the 1920s, set it to something like 1918.3.12)

I understand now, but if the election frequency was 0 would that mean that there would be no elections, or the elections would happen in 0 months? Should I just leave the election frequency tab completely empty instead of putting 0?

Honestly not too sure on this one. I would leave it as a whole number, just in case the nation ever gets converted to a democracy, otherwise you may never have an election again (not really a problem) or have elections every day

Okay! : ]
