Can you integrate CN if you move your capital to same continent?

Can you integrate CN if you move your capital to same continent?

If not, does it mean that it is better to move your capital once you got 4 provinces and before the CN forms?

 

[Schmoekoeksklok]

No, you can never integrate a CN.

If your goal is to make a new life on the other side of the world then yes, moving before one forms is generally what you should do. Though income-wise it doesn't matter too much, as with a half-decent tariff rate you can get just as much value out of a CN as you can out of 50 LA same-continent colonies.

Well, you could always annex it by force once it gets independence, but otherwise, yeah, you're stuck with it, though it won't get any new provinces, except by colonizing or conquering them on its own.

Though, if you want to move tot the New World, you could just play as the CN instead. Just give it independence and play as it. Though this only works if you have CoP.

I want to unite NA + SA under Norway without any colonial nations, i don't want to play as a colonial nation.

Where can i put my capital so that provinces acquired through colonization will have no minimum local autonomy?
If the capital is in NA, the SA provinces shall be CN or my territories?

If you have a land connection, SA provinces will be your territories. Put your capital in Panama and make sure it never gets sieged (as this somehow breaks land connection).

Capital in the Americas wil only lower the minimum LA of colonies to 50. You can't get it to 0 as Norway.

Though if you're not averse to modding, you could make a decision that will let your CN can reform Norway (and get the ideas) once the original is gone. Since it will still be an ex-colonial nation, it'll still have a minimum LA of 0, instead of the minimum of 50 that you'll face otherwise. Or you could just go into defines and change the minimum LA on colonies to 0. But without modding, being Norway and having 0% LA on any New World province other than your capital and what you conquer from the tribes just isn't possible.

So whatever I do I cannot have provinces that belong directly to me, Norway, with 0% Local Autonomy in North America + South America??

You can, but only if those provinces are occupied at the begining of the game. Provinces that require colonisation can only have a LA floor below 50% for Colonial Nations, regardless of where your capital is.

And if I let other nations colonize them first, form Colonial nations, then i annex them, will minimum LA be 0%?

This. Native provinces that aren't colonies will have 0 minimum. Also, your capital is an exception, since it will have 0 LA.

 

[balmung60]

Nope. That colonial nations can get 0% LA on those provinces isn't because the provinces are any different, but because of the fact that they're CNs and CNs ignore the LA minimum on same-continent colonies.

Though, again, with mods, you can get around this, either by making a decision for your CN to reform Norway and get its ideas or by simply modding out the colonial LA minimum. Ooh, or you could make a decision that sets the is_former_colonial_nation flag.

 

[Squirrelloid]

Just... name your CN "Norway"? What's the problem here?

 

[Galu]

Immersion ? Ideas ? I think he just want to migrate to the Americas and write the story of a migrant nation.

You could always go to defines.lua in the commons folder of EUIV and change the MAX_CROWN_COLONIES value to some large number like 200 or so. With such a large number you'll never form colonial nations (the max crown colonies value determines how many provinces you can colonize in a colonial region before a colonial nation is formed). You could also just change the liberty desire values in the same file so that raising tariffs on your colonial nations lowers their liberty desire instead of raising it. That way you never have to worry about them declaring a war for independence.
