Another quick event scripting question

[unmerged(5822)]

If I use one secedeprovince line, and then another seceding the same province (but presumably to another country), what happens?

Crash?
Event failure?
Province goes to first country?
Province goes to last country?

As mentioned earlier: General questions in the general forum please.

I haven't tried. Why don't you test it?

My guess would be it goes to the first country if it exists, then possibly a crash since it's trying to give away something it doesn't have anymore...

No crash; it goes to the first existing country. I used this behavior extensively in the new Burgundy inheritance.

I won't have access to the EU2 cd and be able to try it out before next weekend (which makes it 5 weeks without EU2 - I feel undead).

A variation on this question - does the secedeprovince command work for a country which doesn't exist yet?

Looking at various events that create new countries, I see that some use secedeprovince (to create the USA, for instance), and then others use independence and a second triggered event to break the vassalage.

What I'm trying to do is create FPR/FUC instantly, without waiting for liberation movement revolts.

You cannot secede provinces to or from a country that does not exist. You'll have to use the independence command.
