There's a post on reddit where the author claims:

You have to have 0% resistance in all Portuguese cores in order for the focus to work properly.

I noticed this on my second Anarchist run, where I didn't get the cores when forming Iberia, and only noticed that the focuses describes getting the cores around mid-1940, once I'd removed all the resistance in Portugal.

Not sure why this is, I wish the focus would tell you this before you take it.

So it may be related to resistance somehow?

So, I wrote that post and I figured out what the issue was.

It's not resistance-related, unfortunately, it's way more annoying.

Essentially, the problem is that the previous focus, "Portugese Anarchism", creates a generic civil war tag (e.g. D04) with a generic focus tree that is linked to the Portugal tag rather than being the Portugal tag with an Anarchist focus tree like how Spain has.

This means when you annex the civil war tag after beating Portugal and the game deletes the civil war tags' cores, the game thinks that it also has deleted the Portuguese ones too.

This is why the Iberian Regional Council Focus doesn't give you the Portuguese cores, because how that focus is set up is that it cores every state only if it has a Portuguese core, but the game doesn't think they exist anymore, thus giving you no cores.

The only to fix this is to wait until someone else in the world generates another generic civil war tag (usually Vichy France) that un-links the Portugal tag from the aforementioned civil war tag; so that the focus will finally recognize that, yes, Portugal indeed does exist.

TLDR; don't form Iberia until France decides that, if there were two Frances, they can be twice as incongruent.

@Mark Byte Wow, really detailed analysis.

I also just tried my pre-Iberian-Defense-Council save in the new 1.9.1 beta (8eaf) and it's fixed now, areas are correctly cored.

Issue not happening anymore in "1.9.1 beta (8eaf)"
