So about women not being able to lead republics...

I think my citizens didn't get that memo.

To clarify, I did manage to push all the way to full status of women and enact absolute cognatic gender laws. And now apparently there is no bar for entry into the wonderful life of Venetian politics.

Except money, naturally.

The main issue is that only males in your court contribute to the number of trade posts, actually. I'm quite sure that they allowed females to lead MRs in a recent patch

I wasn't sure, since enatic succession still precludes one from starting up a merchant republic post-reformation.

And because the game refers to her as a queen, and she has events where she's upset all her friends are getting coronations while she's still waiting to be crowned, even though republics cannot crown their rulers.

I've made Enatic Clans reformed Slavic. I can only give titles to females. But when I create republic (giving Duchy to a county level republic ruler) - it creates patrician families with males in charge. And after creation only Males can inherit republic - patrician elective seems to be hard-locked in agnatic mode with default women rights rule.
And that kinda ruined immersion during my feminazi Dobrava run

I didn't create republic with such religion meself tho, maybe you actually CAN switch to Enatic manually, but AI not doing it
