I like the idea of the Bulgarian focus tree, especially forming a Communist Balkan faction. But can we please have more faction QOL stuff?

I'll start with what has happened to me multiple times then offer some suggestions at the end.

Tried three times now to get the achievement to be communist and from the Balkan Federation and have all cores. Two of those attempts the axis came and ruined the Balkans so I had no Yugoslavia or Romania.

Third attempt I thought I was going to finally do it. Yugoslavia went communist and so joined, awesome. Romania as usual joined France in their war against Germany because that guarantee independence mutual agreement ruins things. Greece went communist so I was sorted there. I spent what felt like a year making Turkey Communist, they finally reach 65% communist and..... Civil war but neither side is Communist, all progress is reset since they are non aligned. I start making Anatolia state communist, that takes many more months and they finally again reach the threshold to flip ideologies and what happens? They join the Commintern immediately. While this happened Yugoslavia did their pan slavic focus and for some reason they were allowed to leave my faction and form their own faction. So I decide to cut my losses and do the focus so at least Greece joins me. But my bad luck still kept coming as Greece joined the commintern as my focus finished.

Most of what happened to me wouldn't be solved by AI being banned from forming factions or leaving mine after I spent time doing focuses, but why is Yugoslavia allowed to do the Pan Slavic focus while in a faction? Shouldnt that focus be bypassed to stop things like this happening? Or if they do complete the focus they should be hard locked into my faction unless I allow them to leave. Give us the human player the option of whether faction members can leave or not, give us an event window saying "Yugoslavia wishes to form the Pan Slavic Union, do you allow this?" One option is yes let them leave and other is no they stay in my faction.
