Not really as a claim only provides 5% lower resistance while a core provides everything with zero resistance.
Don't forget that extra 0.05% compliance growth!

If a place is populated enough with your nationals to be a core, it's generally a core or can be turned into a core.

Ideally only the neighboring areas should be made core: Example poznan, gdansk and the third German claim. Bohemia and moravia, the border with belgium, part of switzerland, alsace lorraine for germany ... dalamatia, river, nice, savoy and corsica for italy

I like this idea. Maybe change the values of cost but i like it. From a historical point of view this is not good but if it improves gameplay maybe...


Another alternative i like is increase the manpower gain from compliance. Maybe at 100% or something. X

I do hope they put a ton more formables into the game though. Historical accuracy should always take a backseat to gameplay and balance.

I think cores not having resistance should be removed - cores should have a higher default compliance target and should be more impacted by party support and stability

Anarchists can do this, but its much more expensive (and they have awful stability). It only makes sense because they're a radically internationalist ideology. There are many reasons colonial powers and fascists powers alike rarely ever actually incorporated areas into their homeland and made the locals citizens with full rights.

I do think there should be more cases where one can do it, for example the USSR historically absorbed several countries as Soviet Republics, including in the time frame of the game.

Yes, this. It doesn't make sense that you can't get resistance in your core states no matter what- even if you're hobbling along in a war with 10% stability, war support and party popularity while enacting the harshest laws.
