National focus, often shortened as NF, is a way to promote certain things in a region. The amount of NFs a country can use is determined by the amount of people that are of the primary culture. But it has a maximum determined by the political thought technology.

A NF affects the entire region, but certain types of NFs (e.g. Encourage Clergymen) may have differing effects on each province in that region. For example, the percentage of Clergymen in one province may increase more rapidly than in another province, due to promotion factors including (but not limited to) population count and literacy; the percentage given on the side menu is the regional average, and may not be equal in all provinces in that region. Other types of NFs (e.g. Party Loyalty) affect the entire region equally.

Here is a guide how to use the national focus on changing the population through promotion: National focus and population guide

Number of National Focus points

How the amount of primary culture population relates to the amount of NFs is defined in Victoria II/common/defines.lua. Inside the file there is NATIONAL_FOCUS_DIVIDER, which is 400000.0 in an unmodded game. This means that every 400000 primary culture people gives 1 NF with a minimum of 1.

Every country starts with 1 NF max and each level of political thought technology increases this by 1. The maximum number of NFs therefore is 7.
