A fair point, but this would be more fitting in a proper Yugoslavian rework along with the Chetnik-Partisan rivalry that aren't present in the game too.
Also, try to make a mod, and present it to the devs here. I tried one, and well, it's difficult to do a rework on those formable nations. Let alone designing focus trees, but at least i tried to create it and get it noticed by the devs.

Why should I be making a mod? Is this an answer to any criticism? Make it yourself?
I am just pointing to a trend of fantasy alt history, instead of still interesting believable alt history. It is my humble opinion. Nothing more than that. And frustration.

if I would know how to make a mod, I would do it. But sadly I am a historian, not a modder.
I can only provide historical facts, OR I can rant. Or do both
But if someone is willing to make a mod, please do. I'll support it, and promote it around.
And yes, the Bosphorus reworks for some reason focuses only on the royal option. Communism, which is much more influential in our history, got much less (if any) attention...baffling
But hey, Finno Ugra is now part of the game...

It's one focus that makes the country green. It's not an entire route in the tree like Greece from BftB. It's not like it was some massive area of focus. It's not that big a deal. As to your point about Hungary you might as well complain that Yugoslavia doesn't make sense because Bulgaria isn't a part of it.

I think its ok in a sense, as it seems to be expanding the idea of Greater Finland.

Which held lesser importance than the actual paths that are more grounded. Just please, talk about the Vapis, or the Forest Brothers, Latvian Cross, or even Mindaugas. Let's end the discussion about those meme lategame formables (or formables in general) unless there would be fixes, right?

As a Latvian I would like to point out that "Women’s Aizsargi" sounds really, and I mean, really strange. The mixing of languages kinda cuts in my ears. Since Aizsargi means Defenders, I do understand that there is no good way to get the point of the focus accross in other languages, however, may I suggest that since the women were called Aizsardzes (female form of the word) maybe... call that focus "Conscript Aizsardzes"? Or something similar?

I like the Estonian rework.
Some notes:
The state name 'Harju' is misspelled.
Instead of the Finna-Ugra focus it would perhaps suit better for an alt-history path to unite the Baltics and Finland, with a possibility to expand a few states further into Belarusian, Sami and/or Karelian territories (to accommodate Greater Lithuania and Greater Finland).
Edit: Also, from a linguistic point of view it might make more sense, when combining Estonian and English, to use the genitive "vapsi" instead of the plural "vapsid"

Greetings from Estonia. Harnu in naming the Estonian region is just a typo, isn't it? The region is called Harju or Harjumaa.
Also about the leader of Vapsid, Artur Sirk dies in 1937 after an "unsuccessful" fall from a window in Luxembourg, will this be reflected somehow in the game? Something like an event and change of the ruler of Vapsid, if you couldn't make him the ruler in time?

@Meka66 when Italy, if maybe it would release in this DLC/update or maybe in another DLC, cuz i'm annoyed when i heard that no Italian FT in this DLC, because it's sad that Italy is getting more more skipped in this DLC, throw Italy in this DLC would be the best DLC ever

I find the people complaining about these trees funny, mostly because ''historical AI focuses'' is a button you can press.
As for the ones complaining about the Italy/Scandinavia/etc trees not being a thing: your time will come. The Baltic (and Polish) playerbase have been waiting for something like this for quite a while as well. Complaining about another playerbase getting their tree first isn't really going to change much.

Realistically speaking, probably not that many. Baltic states together have less population than home of Paradox, Sweden, so there are not that many players. Then again - we have been waiting for some love whole 4 games already.I wonder how many players asked for a Ugro-Finnic empire.

Considering it is in the very end of the focus tree, you should probably have high stability, fascist support and war support by there.

It all looks great and like quite a bit of fun! Keep up the good work guys! I'm excited to see what's down the road!

South American playerbase also waiting for a few years now, I wonder if my nation will ever get reworked.

It's one focus that turns your country green. It's not like some huge amount of dev focus went into it. Get over it.I wonder how many players asked for a Ugro-Finnic empire.
As a meme to make people angry on purpose they should put as much energy into the Italian rework as they did to making Finno-Ugric Empire a thing to show how silly this comparison is.
That is: One focus.
