Last time I explored two heresies that made their way/formed into Bulgaria, and how they could be improved to feel more truthful, in This Post.
Now I will explore relatively minor gripes with the State of Bulgaria as it is represented in CK3, it's Culture, and possible solutions;
Consider HOT TAKES written in screenshots as radical ideas that are not necessarily true issues, rather an option for a possible change if Devs want it to, as they are more prone to arguments for-and-against.
Also I will not explore the Elephant in the Room that is Orthodoxy here/yet, but I just want to mention it - figure out a way to make nation-bound extra Patriarchates, PDX! It is a huge part of history and what makes Orthodoxy....well, Orthodoxy, different from catholicism!
Anyway:
1. Culture:
2. Duchies:
As of right now, there is one "Kingdom of Bulgaria", but also one "Duchy of Bulgaria" that is actually Vardar - creating an awkward dublicate of Title-naming, made even more awkward by the fact one is superior to the other, and also overlaps it!
Furthermore on the subject of Renaming Duchy of Bulgaria to "Duchy of Vardar" or "Duchy of Ohrid" - it has the added bonus of shutting up modern FYROMs, as it is as historically neutral a term as it gets. Culturally and Historically speaking, Ohrid always has been an important locale to control, so it would make sense for the Duchy to be named after it or its region.
The rest of the suggestions in Screenshot Two are of less importance, but should be considered regardless. Sredets by itself for example has enough size of its own to be considered its own Duchy. If Krete can be a damn kingdom with just two counties, a Sredets with 4 tiles can qualify for duchy status - and geographically speaking, it is in its own enclosed biome anyway.
Thanks for reading.
