Ok, so I've been playing with Argentina, with the intention of transforming it in a fascist dictatorship. At start, Bolivia occupies Argentinian cores, the Politics screen shows "3% Revanchism". I decided to leave them be, as they'd be useful later on as POPs get angry with core territory on foreign hands.
As Fascism only appears after 1905, I expanded conquering nearby states. Problem: After research "Nationalism and Imperalism", I've been getting the 'New Core' events (ID: 2560).
After the fascist ideology is enabled, I go back to check my revanchism and it's now 1%.
I assume it's calculated as a number related to the percentage of unowned cores, and as my cores expanded, revanchism diminished. Is that correct? This ruined my fascist plans.
It's not because my country's cores expanded, that old cores should be forgotten or become less important. I've had those states for much longer before they became cores, and revanchism remained the same.
This presents a problem for larger multi-state countries, say... Germany. In a real-life WW1 scenario, Germany as a whole would lose just a small part of its cores in Versailles compared to the overall size of the country, but these were so important to the people that it helped raise their revanchism.
Or theoretically in-game (ahistorical but currently possible): France comes early on and conquers, say Cornwall from Great Britain. GB then transforms lots of their colonies in states and gets new cores. Should Cornwall become less important to the British because a bunch of Indian States are now 'cores'?
So what does everyone think? Does the present Revanchism calculation make sense?
In essence: Should new obtained cores after 'Nationalism and Imperialism' decrease Revanchism level?
