During the Armistice of Rethondes event chain, the AI has a 5% chance of fighting on. In that event, the French provinces don't switch to German/Vichy ownership, the partisan risk remains at ~25% and the German AI devotes half a hundred divisions to anti-partisan duty:



That makes for a very boring game as the USSR since Germany will never have enough troops at the border to launch its invasion. An event to cede ownership of the French provinces after they are all conquered would solve this. My suggestion:

Code:
event = {
	id = 2000991
	random = no
	country = FRA
	trigger = {
		war = { country = GER country = FRA }
		region = { region = "France" country = -2 value = 100 }
	}
	date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1933 }
	offset = 1
	deathdate = { day = 30 month = december year = 1964 }
	
	style = 2

	name = "4057name" # L'Etat Français
	desc = "4057desc" # Field marshal Pétain uses the French defeat to take power. It flings a final blow to the Republic and sets up a strict regime, the French State. The emergence of such regime opens new geo-strategical opportunities for Germany.
	picture = "Petain"
	
	action = {
		name = "2002008text"
		command = { type = secedeprovince which = ITA value = 91 }
		command = { type = secedeprovince which = ITA value = 87 }
		command = { type = secedeprovince which = ITA value = 94 }
		command = { type = secedeprovince which = RSI value = 91 }
		command = { type = secedeprovince which = RSI value = 87 }
		command = { type = secedeprovince which = RSI value = 94 }
		command = { type = secederegion which = GER value = "France" when = 1 }
		command = { type = trigger which = 2000992 }
		command = { type = country which = U01 }
	}
}

event = {
	id = 2000992
	random = no
	country = JAP

	# Triggered by FRA 2000991

	name = "EVT_3803_NAME" # Japan and the SE Asian Colonies of Vichy France
	desc = "EVT_3805_DESC" # After the Fall of France and the installation of a pro-German government in Vichy, Japan was able to profit from the new political situation in South-East Asia and take effective control over French Indochina and its current administration, under the argument that it 'protected' this area from the British.
	picture = "Petain"
	style = 2

	action = {
		name = "ACTION_NAME_ACCEPT" # Accept
		command = { type = make_puppet which = U03 }
	}
}

The text is taken from existing events which would have fired if the AI didn't choose to carry on fighting.
Changing FRA into U01 (Free France) is optional but allows America to fire lend-lease events.

If the Vichy tag's minister, tech team and leader files were reintroduced to DH, Germany (assuming the AI files were adjusted) could then create it as a puppet:

Code:
  VIC = { 
 date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1914 } 
 expirydate = { day = 30 month = december year = 1999 } 
 minimum = { 55 74 } 
 extra = { }
 claims = {
 52 51 49 87 90 94 85 86 89 81 82 80 70 84 79 67 40 77 71 
 75 69 68 62 65 66 54 63 100 59 50 99 45 
 60 61 37 38 39 57 58 42 43 44 47 72 73 93 78 76 
 83 48 91 103 88 97 64 95 96 106 
 92 46 41 53 102 56 101 98 105 107 104 } 
 capital = 55 
 min = 1
 country = { GER } 
 revolt = no
 regular_id = FRA 
 intrinsic_gov_type = paternal_autocrat
 }
(Cores on just Vichy and Paris, with Paris set as the capital in case a human Germany chooses to remove claims before releasing it)

Might want to add revolt.txt entries for the two French colonies too, I don't see why they're left out:

Code:
 U03 = { # French Indochina
 date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1900 } 
 expirydate = { day = 30 month = december year = 1999 } 
 minimum = { 1395 1399 } 
 extra = { } 
 claims = { 1393 1396 1397 1403 1400 1401 1402 1405 1394 1398 1404 1391 }
 capital = 1395
 revolt = no
 min = 1
 country = { FRA VIC U01 }
 }
 
 U04 = { # French Mandate for Syria
 date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1900 } 
 expirydate = { day = 30 month = december year = 1999 } 
 minimum = { 1019 } 
 extra = { } 
 claims = { 1018 1016 1017 1021 1020 1014 1015 1054 }
 capital = 1019
 revolt = no
 country = { FRA VIC U01 }
 }

e: looks like Germany won't release Vichy when Paris is claimed, guess the capital needs to be #74
