As the title says, this mod makes the Novgorod Republic playable after January 2nd 1136.
If you start earlier than 1136, there's a good chance you'll see the Novgorod Republic form during the game, between 1126 and 1146.
The republic is a titular king-tier title. Inland provinces in the duchy of Novgorod have been given to the historical Archbishop Nifont, and the 4 northern inland Komi provinces have been given to lowborn feudal rulers. The 5 patrician families are the dynasties of the first 5 princes after 1136. I've also given Ingria to Novgorod, to give them a more sensible capital and enough coastal provinces to allow for 1 trade post per patrician.

Independent Realms and Republic
Direct Vassals. Each patrician family has a White Sea county and trade post, except for the Knyaz who controls Ingria. The Archbishop (and Patriarch) controls inland Novgorod, and lowborn counts control Romny and Ugra.
Event: The Novgorod Republic. Under certain conditions the Republic can form during the course of a game started earlier than 1136
