Independence

Independence adds 20 new nations for independent colonies to form with each colonial region now having at least one nation to form. Regions have one Primary nation and a selection of regional nations, with each region having its own Idea Group. All nation forming decisions in the New World are based around the location of the nation's capital within the areas of that colonial region. Vanilla New World nations have been edited to reflect this new system. Updated to Europa Universalis IV version 1. 21 & Mandate of Heaven Expansion! ----------[ Added Nations ]---------- This mod adds new nations to ever colonial region in EU4, including: - Ontario - Massachusetts - Florida - California - Texas - Cuba - Paraguay - New Zealand and many more! You can find a full country guide, and rundown of all the countries on my website: Full Country Guide To change to any of the added nations simply open the console (press ~) and enter event independence_debug. 1 and choose your nation from the list. This event (which does not fire normally) also includes the vanilla new world nations (e.g. Mexico, USA, Brazil). Have a suggestion for a new nation or possibly a change to a current nation? Mention it in the Suggestions & Ideas discussion thread below. ----------[ Idea Groups ]---------- Each colonial region now has its own idea group which are automatically changed to upon obtaining independence. The Idea groups are usually named after their region, e.g. Californian ideas, Peruvian Ideas, Canadian ideas. Each region recieves only one idea group so that there is no incentive to choose Uruguay over La Plata for example. To create each region's idea groups they were either adapted from an existing idea group (e.g. American Ideas) or created with the help of the Nation Designer in an attempt to keep them balanced between Administration, Diplomatic and Military ideas. If you believe any idea groups are over or under powered please let me know in the Bugs & Issues discussion thread below. -----
