    I did got this achievement in a very weird way. The achievement only requires you to complete the Ostland Focus and occupy Lappland, so you can get the achievement without taking out your neighbors. I completed the Focus and immediately justified on Sweden with World Tension at 24%, it went down to 23% then Italy completed their Claims on Yugoslavia focus and spiked World Tension up past 25% meaning Sweden got guaranteed by UK. I cancelled my justification and did the focus that gave we war goals on my neighbors resulting in me getting Lithuania but Estonia got guaranteed by UK. Germany then attacked Poland and Poland didn't join the Allies, meaning WW2 didn't start because UK couldn't guarantee Poland because it didn't have the Political Power to guarantee Poland 'cause it had already guaranteed 2 nations earlier meaning its guarantee cost was much higher than normal. This meant that Germany had to go to war with the Allies by manually justifying on the Benelux countries and doing focuses from their Focus Tree. Thanks to the guarantee on Estonia, the Allies went to war with the USSR before Germany.

      @@fipeke when UK guaranteed Sweden I thought about going Democratic, joining the Allies, and betraying Germany after me and Germany beat USSR, but luckily I didn't have to. If I read the Focus Tree right, the Democratic and Fascist paths for Latvia are not mutually exclusive so it's possible to do both paths on the Tree until the devs patch it out; I think.

    the achievemtn is an extremely obscure refrence to swedish cheese. The name is "This achivement is cheesy" whichspeaks fpr itself. The requirments are that you form ostland which litteraly means cheeseland in swedish and control västerbotten which is in sweden. In sweden västerbotten ost i quite famous.

    @user-dk6qh6st6l Před 2 lety +24

    I got this achievement, it is actually very cheesy, because when you go down the Ostland focus tree it's easy for you to not generate any world tension whatsoever, because the territories become your cores before you "retake them" so after the Polish war you should take only core states keeping the WT % caused low. After the war with the soviets you liberate some republics reducing the WT even more on your part. Then you go down the middle of the focus tree leave axis and join allies (they will accept as you caused 0 WT) declaring the war on Sweden simultaniously. Sweden won't join the axis, as you won't need to call the allies in. So you end up with the whole sweden occupied and NOT AT WAR with allies nor axis. Cheesy it is.
