You will know what rank your nation stands by hovering over the rank title below the country flag. If you are selecting a third-world country as your base, you will be tagged as Unrecognized. For your first approach, you should focus on Diplomatic Plays, as having the best ties to other nations is what will help you climb up the ranks. Once you enter the Diplomatic Plays via the Diplomatic Lens found at the bottom of the screen, you can select the Force Recognition option. The demands that either you or the other nation makes should be followed by force, which can make or break the allied ties. But this is a quicker way to make your demands heard and to make a decision as well. Along the way, you can also convince swayed nations to participate, or take the help of allied powers to gain the upper hand. If you win, you can turn into a recognized power and earn the title easily.
You should keep in mind that participating in Diplomatic Plays can have negative outcomes if you are not prepared. You should know who you are going against, and only side with allies who are not in favor of the opposing team. If you are not confident about this approach, it could lead to a flat-out war if no one is willing to back down, so you should keep that in mind before you go ahead.
