There's a duality of choosing a way to solve an issue just for the drift it grants, or instead choosing to shoulder a drift contrary to what you're aiming for just because it comes with what you think is the better solution for said issue, and the goal is to balance it all to still get to what you want.

It plays really differently - your internal choices on how to solve the crises such as Cedillo, the Church, and the Politicized Army will decide what kind of way you'll drift on the political scale - you can and should find yourself with a positive drift for several ideologies at once. It's like whoever did this saw the generic structure of a focus tree and decided that he wanted to do something new - and succeeded. Mexico's tree is hard to get into, but once you study it a bit, like a fine wine, it gets better and better. The main confusing matter is that there doesn't seem to be a dedicated political subtree, since the choices to swap ideology or form an alliance appear to be broken and scattered everywhere, and many are not even mutually exclusive. Not to mention there are several industrial focus sprinkled elsewhere in the tree. While it has an industry branch, it being divided in two and containing on one side political focuses and on the other side focuses to deal with an internal threat that has little to do with industry throws the cliche way of analysing things out of the window (since you will most likely pick an industrial branch not for its industrial potential but for the political option it offers you). Mexico's only easy to read point is its army branch. It is, I imagine, an experiment meant to give the player the possibility to continue playing further into the gameby providing them with an additional goal shall they wish to aim for it.

Turan is a branch of (mostly) wargoals and annexions that stands after a major alliance instead of being exclusive and on the side. Its industrial focuses are fully merged within its political branches, and it possesses no dedicated industrial branch to speak of

Joining one is still exclusive with joining the others tho, so it's more like a more flexible foreign policy that allows you to court everyone until you make your choice (or until never since historical Turkey isn't supposed to make a choice, hence why this exists in the first place)

A part of its external politics branch allows it to appraoch all 3 major factions of the game (Axis, Allies, and Comintern) prior to joining one. Only 3 points make the Turkish derive from a perfectly generic form : One horizontal divider, separating internal matterns (above) from extrenal ones (below).Д®verything above the line deals with swapping ideology, solving problems the nation starts with and so on.Д®verything below the line deals with joining or forming an alliance, strengthening said alliance and/or getting wargoals totacklethreats or strengthen your own country.Д«oth internal and extrenal politics are divided with practically strictly vertical lines., and most (if not all) bloc that stand at the same level are mutually exclusive. Its Army/Navy/Air force branch is on the side, the rest is politics, and it's very easily divided in what seems to be the new trend (since we can see the same pattern in Bulgaria's tree) :
