Changing a country's capital province

[unmerged(2266)]

I hope this is a simple question that I hasn't already been answered.

Is it possible to change the capital province of a country, and if so how is this done? In the game I'm playing (and AAR I'm writing) I debating the wisdom of changing the capitol of my people midgame.

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Are you talking about doing it in-game, by editing a saved game or by creating an event?

You can't change the capital in game, unless there is an event allowing you to do it.

To change the capital in a saved game, find the list of cities within your countries data, remove the line 'capital = yes' from the old capital city and add it to the bottom of the entry for your new capital. You may also need to move the entry for your new capital city to the top of the list of your country's cities.

To create an event to move your capital to province number ??? use the following line 'command = { type = capital which = ??? }'
