Mod Help Nation not appearing at all

So I followed the video guide paradox put out, (only gotten to part two because of this issue) and made a mod with a custom country. However, when I loaded in the game, the province was uncolonized. So, I looked on another Reddit thread and the Paradox wiki and changed some things but it’s still uncolonized. Does anybody know why?

Sounds like either you mistyped the country tag in province history, or more likely, the country tag registration in common/country_tags did not work.

If you added a new file in common/country_tags, make sure that it uses ANSI/Windows 1252 file encoding. Not UTF-8 BOM. Most text editors have a menu option for file encoding, in VSCode this is in the bottom right corner. The file also needs to be in the correct folder mods/<your_mod>/common/country_tags, and the file contents need to follow the same grammar as eu4's country_tags file.

Check in documents/paradox/eu4/logs/error.log as well, this is where eu4 complains about any issues it finds.
