Question on National Foci, Provinces and Peace

[AapoAlas]

We've seen that multiple National Foci grant buildings that is to say factories, forts or such in provinces. What happens to these decisions with peace agreements?

Let us imagine a situation where the Republic of China has just lost a war to Yapan and has seceded half their territory to the victorious party. Further imagine that they had three national focuses granting them 2 civilian factories each in newly Yapanese held provinces.

Let us imagine that one of these foci had been implemented before the peace arrived, one was under implementation when the peace arrived and the third one had yet to be implemented but was next in line after the current one was done. What happens to the factories?

In the first decision the effect is clear: Two factories have been placed on the map in a territory that is now Yapanese. Too bad, the factories now belong to Yapan and the focus has been wasted.

The second and third decisions are unclear to me: Will the game rewrite the foci to grant factories in provinces that were left under ROC rule? Can the rewrite happen while the focus is being implemented / researched?

If this cannot be done, will the focus actually grant two new factories in the provinces now under Yapanese rule? Or will the focus just fizzle into no effect at completion?

If you cant fullfill National Focuses anymore or if they dont make any sense anymore, they will be bypassed by the game automaticly, like Danzig or War for example, if you are already at war with Poland.

As for the Industrial Effort Foci there surely requirements just as with most other NF, requiring you to actually own and controll those states where the factories would be build in.

I haven't explicitly checked but I have not seen any requirements for the industrial / infrastructure effort foci.

then they are probably simply bypassed.

It's probably not for every focus that adds factories but I'd guess a lot of them use random states. So unless it is a focus like the UK Fortify East Asia that requires you holding Singapore and Hong Kong and adds buildings to Singapore and Hong Kong most focuses are just choosing random states you own.

Edit: So because they choose random provinces they will never become invalid as long as you hold any territory at all.
