Releaseable Ireland is something that would be possible! You can play as United Kingdom and then release them. But they wont have a custom focus tree since there are more nations in the game we want to have a unique focus tree first.

Thanks for your interestand we want to keep you happy :D

no problem but i want to know if later down the road when you got all the others if ireland could possible have its own focus tree but if doesnt no biggie.
