Far Son national focus tree

 Far Son, as one of the many sub-major powers of The Great North, has a unique national focus tree.

The Far Son national focus tree can be divided into four branches:

• The Steppes of Wyoming Branch

This branch allows Far Son to determine their starting ideological, political, and economic focuses through resulting events, eventually unlocking the other branches of the nation.

• The Fields of Wyoming Branch

The resource production and manpower branch. The branch allows expansion of infrastructure, production, and manpower, while also allowing for economic gain.

• The Fires Upon the Hills Branch

The armed forces branch. The branch provides both national spirits, building construction, and research bonuses to the warfare abilities of Far Son.

• Sixteen Tons Branch

The Far Son domination branch. It first focuses on providing technology research and additions, then, once Wyoming is under Far Son's control, they expand outside the state, seeking either Utah, Montana, or Colorado, ending with their discovery of the Mini-Nuke.

Sixteen Tons Branch

Focus	Prerequisites	Effects	Description
Sixteen Tons	Far Son Requires the following: File:Wyoming icon.png War in Wyoming	Political Power: +100. Gain Base War Support: +5.00%.	The Mole Miners emerged not as a line, but as a horde from South Pass Mine. Rumors were simple, but the legends scarier: the Mole Men stalked the night, taking people and object alike, dragging them into the night.
Unreasonably Strong Firepower	Far Son Requires the following: Sixteen Tons	Add technology: AA Equipment T1.	The Moles were noted by travelers to be well-armed with a mixture of military-grade hardware and 'heavy mining equipment,' as Alton Bourges had once called it. Whether or not they knew how to repair or make more of these weapons was a mystery in and of itself.
Comically Strong Mining Equipment	Far Son Requires the following: Unreasonably Strong Firepower	200 units of American Red Glare Rocket Launcher is added to the national stockpile.	Alton Bourges was a rambunctious man: a man who knew how to take a venture and make it into a billion dollars, or so he thought. Spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on both a personal military in Farson and military-grade equipment tends to bite one's bank.
Superior, If Oddball Firepower	Far Son Requires the following: Sixteen Tons	3x 25% Research bonus for: Fire team Technology.	Various weapons, new and old, would find their way into the Mole Miner's little crooked fingers. Some say they would take them down to be smelted, somewhere deep in the mines, or that they would be alternated as offerings to some strange, dark god that lurks in the tunnels.
Handmade Claws	Far Son Requires the following: Sixteen Tons	1.00K units of American Slashing Melee Weaponry is added to the national stockpile.	As if they knew what they had become, some of the Mole Miners would fashion these strange, splinter-edged gauntlets from old mining equipment. Though they were naught but scrap, many travelers who went too close to Far Son would be found not long after with their throats and chests caved in. Those who survived would often have a tetanus story to share afterwards.
Mole Minin' Gauntlets	Far Son Requires all of the following: Superior, If Oddball Firepower Handmade Claws	3x 30% Research bonus for: Melee Weaponry. Gets event 'A Good, Clean Operation'.	The gauntlets were well-made, for what they were. The miners began to standardize them as they learned how effective they were, taking means to improve their ability to make them.
Wyoming Falls	Far Son Requires all of the following: Superior, If Oddball Firepower Handmade Claws Highland Watch: All core land of Highland Watch is owned by Far Son, their subjects, or their allies.	Cores all owned states also cored by Highland Watch.	The Mole Miners charged as a swarm would across the open plains, killing senselessly and looting as vagabonds would. What once was a peaceful frontier, has now since returned to being one-- but the rivers run red, and there is nothing left but the fires.
Wyoming, Dominated	Far Son Requires the following: Wyoming Falls After 1:00, 1 Jan, 2278	Gain Base Stability: +10.00%. (Old Jeffry): Add production of 4 ultra in Old Jeffry. Add production of 4 ultra in Old Jeffry. Add production of 4 ultra in Old Jeffry.	The Miners didn't take long to move in. How could anyone stop them? The Watch that had so heroically assembled had fallen, despite their best efforts to stem the moletide. Now, the Boss was in charge, yet that wasn't even the worst part. The worst part was that he was dissatisfied.
The Soot Moves West	Far Son Requires the following: Wyoming, Dominated Is a neighbor of The Lonetrees	Grants Far Son claims on and a Wargoal for the Lonetree's core territories.	Lonetree was a perfect choice for the Boss. It would secure a wider berth around the South Pass and Far Son, allowing a longer front to be maintained against the surface dwellers.
A Mine Deeper Than Our Own	Far Son Requires the following: Wyoming, Dominated Is a neighbor of The Dryblowers	Grants Far Son claims on and a Wargoal for the Dryblowers's core territories.	The Boss was enraged to learn of the legendary 'Deepmines,' and swore an oath that it would be in Mole Miner hands in no time. How could they be Mole Miners, and not have the deepest mine? He set out to correct this fact as soon as possible.
Bones To Rend	Far Son Requires the following: Wyoming, Dominated Is a neighbor of The Old Bones	Grants Far Son claims on and a Wargoal for The Old Bones's core territories.	The Dry Bones meant nothing to the Boss. He was more interested in the strange, misshapen creatures that emerged from Burham Springs: the Gehenna and the Molech. Though he didn't understand them, he sought to control them as any tyrant would. First, however, he would have to secure their land...
Ending the Cycle	Far Son Requires the following: Wyoming, Dominated Is a neighbor of Ouroboros	Grants Far Son claims on and a Wargoal for Ouroboros's core territories.	The Boss' greatest foe, Ouroboros, stood tall against him: warriors who fought with the night just as he did. That vile woman Hecate and her lacky Jordan Dae had become his greatest nemesis seemingly overnight, and he swore an oath to rend them from the Earth completely.
What's Deep Is Now, Uh, Ours	Far Son Requires all of the following: The Soot Moves West A Mine Deeper Than Our Own The Old Bones: All core land of The Old Bones is owned by Far Son, their subjects, or their allies.	Cores all owned states also cored by the Dryblowers. Moves capital to The Deepmines. The Deepmines Add production of 6 ultra in The Deepmines.	The Deepmines were where they belonged: under Mole Miner control. Now, the Boss could live with relative peace knowing his mine was the deepest in all the land.
Among the Giants	Far Son Requires all of the following: Bones To Rend Ending the Cycle The Old Bones: All core land of The Old Bones is owned by Far Son, their subjects, or their allies.	Cores all owned states also cored by The Old Bones. Add technology: Colorado Mutant Support.	The wretched creatures from Burham Springs were resistant for a time, but soon the Miners figured out how to weaponize them just as others had, and so the dark armies of Far Son grew in even more horrible ways...
Down With The Darkness	Far Son Requires all of the following: What's Deep Is Now, Uh, Ours Among the Giants	Grants Far Son claims on and a Wargoal for the Black Canyon's core territories.	With Ouroboros and its surrounding environs now under the control of Far Son, the Boss set his sights on another foe: Battery of Mesa Verde and the men and women of the Black Canyon. Their land was too vast and their influence too great on the western mountains. They had to go, lest the Boss go mad from rage.
West We Shall Go	Far Son Requires the following: Down With The Darkness File:ExclusiveM.png Mutually exclusive with: The Northern Glories The East Shall Know Pain	We will gain claims on all of Utah!	To many, Utah is a land of religions and gods vying for souls and land alike. The miners have no gods and no cares for souls, but the Great Salt Lake that lies at the heart of that land calls them nonetheless. A rich source of many minerals and resources, the boss desires it, and so the miners will go.
The Northern Glories	Far Son Requires the following: Down With The Darkness File:ExclusiveM.png Mutually exclusive with: West We Shall Go The East Shall Know Pain	We will gain claims on all of Montana!	To the north the Boss turned himself then, towards the homes of metal clad humans and their arsenals of weaponry. Hungry for their wealth and craving violence, he whipped the miners into a frenzy and lead the way into old Montana.
The East Shall Know Pain	Far Son Requires the following: Down With The Darkness File:ExclusiveM.png Mutually exclusive with: The Northern Glories West We Shall Go	We will gain claims on all of Colorado!	With their tunnels and lairs teeming and the boss hungry for more minerals and territory, it was no surprise when the first mole miners began to trespass into the lands once known as Colorado. With Morghorls hungry eyes upon their wealth, those great rocky mountains will be the next to fall.
Atomic Mining Techniques	Far Son Requires one of the following: West We Shall Go The Northern Glories The East Shall Know Pain More controlled states than 30	Add technology: Mini-nuke.	The Mole Miners do not celebrate their successes but Boss Morghorl could not help but spend the day barking happily after inspecting the newest pile of loot dragged before him. In the center of the heap, buried under an old chryslus was a crate of untouched mini nukes.
