I've been trying a Communist UK. As I understand it, in order to be successful with the "Secure the Dominions Focus" you need to have more than 20% communist support and have certain levels of troops in relevant states within the dominion. Maybe also Martial Law in force? This was apparently possible before LaR as once you flip to communist you can support a communist party in the dominion to build up support while you move in the troops.
I have not been able to do it to just Canada (5 attempts) as increasing communist support at 0.1% per day to 20% from 1% takes 190 days after the referendum but Canada leaves the UK sometime after 180 days. You also need to time it so the focus completes after you have the communist support. This means starting when support is at 17.5% given the focus takes 25 days (if you don't select any other focus in between the referendum and starting the focus). So you need to be very lucky with when Canada declares independence and accurate with the timing or you have wasted time on the focus.
Unless I am missing something?
However under LaR you can only use propaganda to increase support once you have an intelligence network and you cannot make an intelligence network in a dominion.
Once the dominion has broken away you can make a network but then you cannot move in troops as they are independent. So the focus is completely broken even if it was insanely difficult before.
Or am I missing something here as well?
