HOI4 country tags famous generals of WW2 standing next to each other

Did you know that every nation in Hearts of Iron 4 is assigned a HOI4 country tag? Many of the game’s console command ‘cheats’ require you to enter a three-letter country tag to specify where you want to foment that revolution, or trigger that civil war. To save you memorising them all, this HOI4 country tags guide includes every national ID in the game – from Belgium to Australia, Russia to Paraguay, Mongolia to Mexico.

 

If you’re not quite sure how to use these country tags, read our HOI4 console commands guide, then come back here. Or take your alt history sandbox in new directions with our guides to HOI4 DLC packs, the best HOI4 mods, and nearly impossible HOI4 achievements. For a massive database of codes, cheats and commands across your favourite games, check our sister site CodesDb for the latest game codes.

For now, though, here’s the list! Each tag is a three-letter abbreviation of its representing state, so browse to find whichever country you’re after, or maybe become inspired for the location of your next territorial conquest.
