Well, while some great power countries like UK and France have lots of internal tags that allow to balkanize tem them in a peace conference, by liberating/puppeting, other majors don't had this.
First is the US, they are pretty homogeneous, while the CSA is a formable tag, you can't release them. In Vic2 there were lots of tags in US, like New England, California, Texas, Deseret, even the FSA, that would split, if US became a non democratic regime. The same for China, you break them, apart from the other warlords.
Germany too, but you can't split them West/East normally or into smaller countries like you can with Napoleon.
Italy and Japan are pretty indivisible, despite being unified in less than a century and being composed with smaller tags (like Germany), in Vic2.
So should these countries have more tags?

Only if they teach the Ai to give their allies their cores back - right now Free France basically loses Occitania and Savoy because the ai prioritizes puppeting the south

why?
If you've beaten them the game is already pretty much over.

You could use those in the battle royal mod for example. You release all possible tags before the game starts and then watch how the thing evolves.
The problem thats exists there now is that those countries ,that cant be splitted , especially germany, are to powerful. So when i have interest in such a crazy game , i split germany to its neighbours. When there would be more releaseables that would be more fun, because it would get an even greater mess.

To make the map looks better in a peace conference, even if you leave the game afterwards.

Edit: Reallistically should be worse to have a big blob as puppet, than smaller disunited ones, but the game doesn't model that (and isn't the point of this thread). But for RP, I feel better exploding a big tag, than puppeting it, because doesn't make much sense.

This isn't Vic2 where the game could benefit or adapt from there.
Puppeting the US is always better than puppeting each state individually
Also more tags = more lags
because
if you play a certain way, maybe you want to puppet territories, instead of full on annexing them. After all The Soviet union is huge, even with their current releasables, not to mention America. And maybe not everyone wants to play like AI Germany and full annex EVERYONE. :p
