I created a simple journal entry for USA, to complete it, there are just two conditions:
  1. Has an interest in Japan region
  2. Japanese Shogunate has not enact the law Isolationism
Just a very simple journal entry, the AI has not taken any action for it, even I tag USA to add interest to Japan, it instantly got cancelled by AI.

On the other hand, the journal entry The Oregon Border Dispute has a long list of requirement,
  1. Having interest in Pacific Coast
  2. Good Relationship with UK
  3. State ownership
But USA AI did it pretty in time. It is rather frustrated to see AI can do more complex options but not the simple one I made.

So I was wondering if there's underlying code that sets AI's incentive for journal entry/decision.

US senpai please notice me!o_O

Is the second item reversed? Don't you want to be noticed by senpai while you _are_ isolationist so he can come and open you?

Japanese Shogunate has not enact the law Isolationism
This say that you are anything but Isolationism.

The two items are complete conditions

I'm thinking to using the second item to guide senpai to notice Japanese Shogunate and open their market by any means.
So you are already open per condition two and the USA has nothing to accomplish.

The AI does not directly try to fulfill journal entries, it does so through scripting in ai_strategies
