Hello there everybody. 
In my current GC (1.03) as France I have encountered a few strange things I hope you people can clarify:
- I noticed that small POPs who just arrived in the country through immigration tend to merge with larger existing ones and adopt their culture. Now, I would like my immigrants to adopt the French culture but some of them prefer to merge with existing "stable" minorities. For instance, are Polish POPs more likely to merge and blend in with Lithuanians than Frenchmen (due to a possible closeness of their culture), or is it random?
- I assumed that to grant statehood to a colony, one of the province in it must have a majoritory French population. Now, after a war against Egypt, I annexed the two Greek islands it previously held. Those islands were populated exclusively with Greeks yet I could grant statehood to them. Is it possible that by "accepted primary culture" the game implied European culture rather than French culture?
- Later I had the "Luxemboug crisis" event I went to war with the Prussians, defeated them soundly and satellised them. I then got an event titled "Napoleonic triomph" in which I learned South German will no longer be accepted as a national culture, although it never was, what did I miss here?
- When I was at war with the Egyptians (no allies, just me and them) I occupied all their provinces, destroyed every single division and fleet they had then procedeed to the peace negociations, planning to take all their lands except for the capital and come back five years later to finish the job. Alas, it took more than 200% war score to ask for all these territories, and Egypt refused all such demands. Shouldn't an uncivilised nation agree to any peace offering when it is entirely occupied?
- Err... that's it for the moment, thanks for any insight. I hope these questions haven't been asked a thousand times already, in which case I deeply apologise.
