Stop other factions from moving
After you end your turn it shifts through the other factions movements. If you save during the turn of another faction and then load, that faction will go through the rest of the turn without moving armys/navys or attacking.

Unlock all factions
Run or go to \Data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\descr_strat.txt then you will see a list of the nations you can use in the beginning the end unlockable ones and the non playables. cut and paste the unplayable factions to the unlockable nations. then save it and close it. now you need to complete a campaign mode and all of the factions will be unlocked.

Alternatively, you can cut and paste all the unlockable and unplayable nations into the playable nations list, to render all the nations playable without completing the campaign mode first.*
