The Balkans were always known as the powder keg of Europe and have never been truly united excluding Yugoslavia somewhat. But today, in the new HOI4 DLC Battle for Bosporus, that will change.
Bulgaria will be the leader and unifier of the Balkans and we will form the Balkan Federation! The project will finally be complete and all the people of the Balkans will be united under 1 prosperous nation. That being if we do finally manage to achieve that dream. It's gonna be a tough road ahead to achieve that, but the Tommy Kay will guide the Bulgarians and the Balkan people with his ginger power!

It's quite annoing how hard doing the balkan federation the peaceful way is. I have tried by rushing the political tree super hard, destabilizing and influencing Greece and Romania non-stop and using 4 spies to influence them, still fucking cancer to do. I understand Bulgaria should be hard but I think Bulgaria is waaay too hard. They should do some balancing, definitely... Waiting for Feedback Gaming to cheat it I guess...

I tried Bulgaria out myself, i think paradox sticking to the 70 day focuses for so much of the focus tree really hampers it. Bu the time you're ready to do anything, it's late 1939, ww2 starts, and all the majors completely outclass you, and everything is guaranteed.

[@chainsawblue3639]

For anyone wondering, and maybe even Tommy yourself or Markoni, I have developed a strategy to do a Communist run as you can see below: I unified with Greece, Yugoslavia and Romania by early/mid 1940 before they get pulled into the axis or allies. You would be best off rushing the communist route in the focus tree until you finally reach the focus that gives you the faction. Make sure to condemn the rebels in Macedonia and boost relations with Yugoslavia and they should nearly always join your faction when you complete the focus. 'Perpetual friendship' or something I think its called. Eventually you should reach that focus that gives you communist influence decisions on all Balkan countries, so start spamming that on Romania and Greece as its around a 0.20 daily drift, with additional decisions to boost communism by 10% pretty much instantly with 250 manpower and 1000 guns. Important note, make sure you have got a spy agency up and running with 2 spies before you do the focus to start communist influencing in the Balkans. Combine this with a spy cabinet minister to get another agent, and the focus that gives you another one on top of that. Use 2 on Romania and 2 on Greece to boost their communism in conjunction with your influence decisions. I think they should flip at around 60-70% communism support. Then take the focus that invites all communist countries into the faction (Yugoslavia should already be in it from earlier, so they don't need communism boosting.) Then Voila, you should have a Balkan Alliance, and then simply go down the tree to annex them all. TLDR: Speed is important to get this all done before mid/late as the axis come knocking on Yugoslavia and Greece.

[@kzr_1613]

Exactly, after many failed attempt this is what I came up with as well. It's surprisingly well thought out focus tree and perfect for people who prefer to peacefully gain territory. It's kinda annoying that it's impossible to flip Albania in time and Romania does focuses that slow the process but when you finally annex all of them it's worth the waiting
