How can you set a minor to major?

[Van Diemen]

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to set a minor nation as a major nation. Which files do you have to mod for this? Or are all the selectable nations from the scenarios main menu start majors automatically?

What you mean as 'minor' and 'major'. If you want more tech slots, you need more Industry. If you want better techs, copy tech files for example from Germany.

There is no difference. 'Minor' and 'major' are player-made distinctions, they do not exist in-game.

Not 100% true...the Majors are the USA, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the USSR. But IIRC none of the events checks this, so it is an unused distinction.

There is also the difference between the Major Alliances (Axis, Allies, Commintern) and minor Alliances, which has a big distinction in-game: No peace treaties (except by event) between major alliances.
