@alpaca, I meant to ask you and this seems like a good point, when making a minimal starting map for M2TW is there anything hardcoded it must have?

I was recently trying to fix one for somebody and couldn't suss actual problem with modfolder, but did in the end make it work by copying idea in one of your stripped down maps and changed new map to using the internal name of the North_America province and also including all factions in strat as dead_until_resurrected. Not sure which of those elements fixed it or if it was something I managed to accidentally fix whilst making changes..... but it made me wonder if there were any 'must haves'.
