I made a decision for japan to annex manchuko with 

annex_country = { target = MAN transfer_troops = yes }

I want to add compliance, but the set/add compliance effects only work if there's a specified state. How do I specify a state to add the compliance?

You should be able to do something like after the annexation:

every_state = {

LIMIT = {

is_core_of = MAN

}

set_compliance = 60

}

(if you want every state MAN had a core on)

I forget if MAN is the tag for Manchuko, so that may need replacing, and the compliance number is whatever compliance level you want it to be.

Otherwise, if you wanted to just do 1 state:

STATEID = {

set_compliance = 60

}

 Thank you for the reply.  Before I was just adding the code that gave compliance to a state individually which was cluttering up everything.  The code that applies compliance to a nations cores will work better form me ty
