All Bonuses Super Japan Focus Tree

Description
Do you find the current Japanese tree boring and limited? Do you hate missing out on bonuses because of mutual exclusivity? Do you not care about balance and just want to steamroll your enemies, or perhaps, face a buffed Japan? Without it being console command-tier buffs. Well this mod has you covered.

Features

-All trees merged in to one. You can now obtain the benefits of all of them.
-A lot of focuses are 35 days now.
-No mutually exclusive focuses (one exception that ultimately doesn't matter)
-Garbage focuses have either been removed, or repurposed in to something good (i.e. the "Korean Question" cores Korea instead of releasing it for no benefit).
-Some focuses merged (i.e. "Communist Volunteers" and "Anti-Communist Volunteers" from the democratic/commie trees have just been combined in to one).
-Some flavor edits to make more sense (i.e. "Red Brigades" are now "Imperial Brigades")
-Focuses that grant the benefits of each ideology (i.e. "Adopt Fascist War Policies" gives you the -80% justify time while at war with a major bonus).
-The "The Manchurian Project" sub-tree has been expanded a few focuses leading up to the ability to annex it Anschluss style to make up for the lack of (bad) democratic/communist focuses related to it.
-All war paths available (China, Allies, and USSR) and you can decide which order to do them.
-AI modified for new tree, historical is mostly the same. The alternate history paths instead of switching ideologies effect which targets the AI goes for first and how much it builds up before doing so.

Notes:

-The mod only effects things in files related to Japan. So it shouldn't interfere with mods for other countries The price for this is countries that have descisions based on Japan's ideology flip may not work. In the test games I did, this didn't cause any problems, but figured I should mention it.

-This mod isn't meant to be fair and balanced or historically plausable. I made the flavor changes in names/descriptions so it wasn't *glaringly* obvious.

-Communist China/Sinkiang sometimes drags an AI-controlled USSR in to WW2 prematurely on historical. This isn't a big issue if Japan or the USSR are player controlled, but keep in mind the USSR will be more vulnerable to Germany thanks to having many troops in the east, and likely fall, so it effectively buffs the Axis as a whole. Consider it a challenge if you play the Comintern/Allies/China.

-If there is any interest I might take a closer look and modify the AI more in the future, or make a similar mod for other countries that have old sucky trees that are outclassed by Ethiopia or Switzerland of all things.

This doesn't work anymore, the focus tree is vanilla

Could you make it so Communist China joins CUF somehow? They never ended up doing so while I was at war with the Nationalists and when CUF capitulated they immediately joined Comintern.

It's intentional, for some reason communist China really loved joining the Comintern when attacked which would drag the USSR in to a war with Japan in 1937, so I had the focus just, in addition to making the GEACPS, make the Chinese united Front if China is AI controlled so they would join them instead if attacked (The AI is more likely to join factions with a shared enemy).

Not sure if this is intentional, but the Greater-East Asian Co-prosperity sphere focus forms the Chinese United Front with just China, often leading to a war against just China & Shaanxi

Rebuilt from the ground up, it should work with all the new Götterdämmerung features now. Also changed some icons to ones from later DLC so there wasn't so many duplicates like the vanilla tree. I only tested in four games, but it seemed to work fine in them, please inform me of any issues if you run in to them.

Götterdämmerung added so many features, I might rebuild this from the ground up.

Started playing HOI4 again, so updated for Götterdämmerung. What I tried seems fine, but I haven't played all the other countries to test interactions, so inform me if there is anything gamebreaking. Will update the US one next.
