Easy way or checking how many NFs I have?

[Sid Meier]

The USA at start can only use 2 I think, researching ideological thought which is supposed to give +1 (so 3?) doesnt actually increae it, how do I determine how mnay I have, how many can I have, and why ingame?

The tooltip at the top indicates the reasons why: you have so many POPs of your primary culture, and are not limited by techs. IIRC it was also mentioned in the developer diary: each 1 million of your primary culture gives one NF point (with a base of 1 point too). So, if you have, say, 3 million Yankee POPs and only 2 NF points, then you'll need to research a technology which expands this maximum number so you can get the full 3 points you would be allowed.

IIRC the technology increases the maximum number of national focus you can have, but the number is actually from your national population.

This is also shown in the tooltips for population and NFs at the top of the screen...

There is also a separate NF map mode to see in map where you have put them to
