simple:

1. make sure your in game playing, no at a menu. pause the game and bring up he console (~)
2. type "TAG [country]" [country] being how you want to swap to 3 letter key e.g germany = GER, turky = TUR, soviet = SOV
3. hit enter, you should now swap countries
4. DO NOT UNPAUSE, it f**ks the AI up big time, change what you want the use step 2. to get back to your country

If I order research and production for a country in this manner when I switch back will it keep the orders?

it should, at least production. I think most queues get checked by the AI ever couple of days. try and see, set what you want on the first of one month and see if its the same a month later

I play Common Weapons and just wish the German and Italian and Japanese ( soviet too) AI would use their special units.

just making them construct the units might not work then, because the AI has no prgraming around the units as to what to do with them. try the common weapons thread and see what the've got there, devildread may have mad a AI .lua file that makes the ai use the units

Tried typing TAG [country] (using the three letter identifier) but got nothing. Tried it with several countries but kept getting an "unknown command" message.

tag in lower case and the identifier in upper case.

You can find the list of country's tags in common/countries.txt.

The proper for format is just TAG SOV

Works now, but I think if you are going to do this, you need to do it early in the game otherwise you get some pretty wild situations. For instance, I have UK troops fighting in the Kola Penninsula!

its not particularly good at changing to a new nation mid game, but it is handy to see what the ai is doing and why something is happening. like what has germany done with all the supplies on the eastern front

You have to find and press that button on your keyboard. Alternatives are listed here: http://www.paradoxian.org/hoi3wiki/Cheat_codes#Overview

Ohhhh. If only I knew then what I know now. Thanks.

Even if you don't unpause the ai can still mess with your country. I have had it create an reorganize theaters.
