Looks like these variables are checked on startup to decrease the probability that the AI country chooses a certain ideology path if the corresponding variable is already the highest of the four.

I think GER was chosen at random to store the variables.

What we could do is to set a global event target to pick the country that will store the variables for the conversions and replace GER in these two files with that event target.

Something like this:

on_startup = {
    effect = {
        random_country = {
            limit = { has_idea = great_power }
            save_global_event_target_as = game_weight
        }
    }
}

Then GER is replaced with event_target:game_weight.
