As I'm working on making more countries playable, I thought it might be a good idea to document my process and make it easier to play.

Basically, some national spirits from vanilla are designed to be fixed through their own focus trees. My mod needs to account for this.

Therefore:

1. some national spirits will be outright removed when a nation recieves the jazzy focus
   
2. some national spirits can only be removed
   
3. A few spirits will stay and cannot be removed. This is usually because it's a unique buff of some kind.

Do note that most of these fixes are present because of DLC-added national spirits. The fewer DLCs you have the fewer problems you'll run into.


For those using debug mode, you can actually remove national spirits via console. When in debug mode, every national spirit shows its debug key in the tooltip, right under its name. To remove the idea, type "remove_ideas [idea_name]" in the console.

example: USA has the national spirit "Home of the Free". When hovering over the spirit in debug mode, the tooltip shows us the debug key is "home_of_the_free". Type "remove_ideas home_of_the_free" into the console, and the spirit should disappear.
