The same way you would liberate a region normally. Option in the state department for any dead region.

We do have an easier way to interact with those regions now, right click some of their original territory and click their flag.

Just questions on the latest update about colony:

1) What will happen to the tech of a colony → annex → colony or new independent nation?

In SRU 1936 campaign mode as Japan, I can only colonized most of the conqueored regions (China, Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore, HK, Philippines) while only a few regions allows me to have the option to annex or colonize (Urgyuristan, Guam, Mongolia).

So I must colonize most of the regions I conqueored for a day before I can annex them.

With the new update, I can release the annexed region as a colony again.

Hence I would like to know what happens when a region turns from a country to colony and annexed and then returned as colony.

Example: Japan invaded China and create a colony. Suddenly, Soviet Union declared war against Japan and since colony AI is unable to defend itself effectively / China has lots of Coal and Hydro Power Plants which can be scrapped for crucial Industry goods for war effort and therefore I annexed it.

During this prolonged war with Soviets for years, I have researched various cutting edge tech such as Improved Power Grid 4 which increase power output by 50%, nuclear weapon test, Synthetic Rubber 2 etc.

So when say after Soviet is eliminated by capturing Moscow (All the way from Valvaldistok), I decided to return China as a colony since it is a cash cow. Does China as a colony inherit these techs, including nuclear weapon techs?

2) Does colony research on Weapon tech? It will be interesting to see Japan gets Dongfeng missile from Japanese China colony who has researched on such tech.

Otherwise, what does the research facility in colony does?

3) Does the colony inherit the tech from its predecessor?
For example, Soviet Union has a lot of military related techs (both units and non-units). As Japanese USSR, does it inherit all the existing techs from USSR?

What about infrastructure related techs (Increased production or reduced demand) in such scenario? I.e., if USSR has some increased production tech that Japan dont have, will Japanese USSR colony retain the increased production tech and its effect?

Similarly, will a newly returned China as colony loses infrastructure related tech benefits because these were not researched yet under the Nationalist era?


4) What are the potential benefit for the host to return a region as a colony as well as returning a region as an independent country?


5) In the 1936 campaign mode, after the Nationalist China is defeated and a Japanese China colony is created, the Japanese Manchuria colony is automatically absorbed into China.

I am wondering why can't HK and Macau be both absorbed into Japanese China colony given their small size (Unless Japanese China is annexed by player, in this case, HK and Macau can have the option to be annexed or remain independent colony)

6) Lastly, why almost all countries and colonies in the world turn into Allies aligned as war progress including my own colonies? Even Japan itself is turning towards Neutral after Germany and Italy is defeated by Soviets but Japan is still struggling to fight against US?

To #1 - Many of the campaigns have restrictions on liberate/colonize based on the historical narrative that the campaign is trying to recreate. You don't encounter those limitations when you play in sandbox mode.

#2 - they can, sometimes do, but colonies have a much more difficult time growing their economy, they give a lot of surplus to the parent region.

Ok, the benefits of returning a region as colony is that colony gives much of its surplus to parent region.


But what is the benefit to grant a region independence? Because I don't see much effective partisans to create a civil war when annexed and no challenge to colonial government to form an incentive to grant region independence.

I'm not sure that there are specific advantages. I often play with "allied victory" and like to liberate, make them an ally, help build them up, then have them help against other regions by proxy. Sometimes they will get into wars against another region that I would have had a hard time declaring against.

Since last update nation names in 2020 sandbox games are named as WW2 nations/colonies. For example Kenya is named East Africa and so on. Also as I played as Ethiopia in GC 2020 sandbox game I had a Mutual Defence with East Africa (Kenya) from the start. Also US is allied to Canada and UK is allied to Jamaica and Canada, in my previous games there was 0 alliances in GC 2020.
