Animistic Miao China

[LexVenim]

That's pretty cool idea for achievement. Miao has only two cultural provinces and has completely different culture from the rest of China. Now it's only a minority.
Animistic religion is optional, though it's funny: animistic - animal - cat - meow - Miao. Some people even suggested to conquer Japan and rename it to Nyan)

You can't change culture as Ming (and maybe neither as Qing), so you would need to conquer from outside and then convert, or play as a released vassal. I don't think there's any achievement that requires the latter, while only a few require the former but without culture conversion.

Nothing stops them from making an achievement for a released vassal, though most players would likely bankrupt Ming or drive them into negative stability before releasing.

It'd be less painful than staying pagan in Africa, but it would still be painful lol.

I actually thought a bit more and realized that it might not even be necessary. Instead of playing as Miao, as 1.13 will allow you to culture convert from adjacent provinces, the achievement could "just" require all of China Proper region to be of Miao culture and Animist religion. This means that some outside source (or maybe a released vassal) would have to attack, conquer and convert Ming. And convert to Animist before that unless they play as one of that shittastic Animist OPMs in Indochina... Or Ryukyu.
