Dear random paradox developer,
I haven't yet played Hearts of Iron 4, but i have noticed from gameplay videos online and from screenshots that there is no nationality mechanic (where provinces had a set number of people from an in game nationality, think of Victoria 2). I think this mechanic is very important in the context of this game, with fascist states (especially Germany) aspiring to create states spanning territories made up of the main nationality (greater [insert nationality]). Historically, the Nazis had planned to create a 'greater Germanic Reich' from not just territories populated by Germans, but from territories populated by 'inferior' races in the east, such as Slavs. During the 1950s (which is also part of this game's timeline), Pan-Arabism began to take off in the middle east, especially after the establishment of the state of Israel and India nationalism was gaining speed during the 1930s and 40s. In light of these historical facts as well as my personal enjoyment of the nationality mechanic I ask that you bring back this mechanic in a future patch or FreeLC. I cannot find any mod that can bring this mechanic back so i ask YOU, Paradox game developer, to bring it back.
Yours Truly, a middle eastern fan.
The mechanics in question (while you're at it, you could bring back the similar religion mechanic, although this isn't a requirement):
