I've noticed that there are only three Chinese New Year events for reforming the Qing Empire - Rat (economic), Ox (political) and Tiger (foreign relations). Has anyone tried writing up events for the other years of the Zodiac? (I'm guessing the main problem is coming up with things to reform other than what's already been covered). I was trying to write up a custom event for the Year of the Rabbit (1939-1940), and came up with this:

event = {
id = ########
country = CSX
style = o
picture = "Chinese New Year"

date = { day = 19 month = february year = 1939 }

name = "The New Reformation - Strategic"
desc = "Today, celebrations for the Year of the Rabbit have ended, and again Pu Yi is planning to take the stage tonight for a speech concerning the next year. What is the focus of Pu Yi's
speech going to be tonight? The Rabbit is gracious and a good friend, but can also be self-indulgent and stubborn!


action_a = {
ai_chance = 50
name = "Pu-Yi seeks friends for the Great Qing!"
command = { type = dissent value = -3 }
command = { type = setflag which = CSX_Alliance}
command = { type = relation which = GER value = 50 }
command = { type = relation which = RUS value = 40 }
command = { type = relation which = JAP value = 15 }
command = { type = relation which = AUS value = 30 }
command = { type = relation which = CAN value = 10 }
}
action_a = {
ai_chance = 30
name = "China will stubbornly forge its own path in the world!"
command = { type = dissent value = -3 }
command = { type = setflag which = CSX_No_Alliance}
command = { type = relation which = GER value = -80 }
command = { type = relation which = RUS value = -20 }
command = { type = relation which = JAP value = -30 }
command = { type = relation which = AUS value = -30 }
command = { type = relation which = CAN value = -10 }
}
action_b = {
ai_chance = 20
name = "The Empire is doing very well and we shall continue as such"
command = { type = dissent value = 5 }
command = { type = setflag which = CSX_noreform4 }
command = { type = sleepevent which = ####### }

The first flag ends up leading to an event about forging an alliance with one of a number of nearby nations - either becoming part of Mitteleuropa, the East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere, the Russian alliance (if they're not already with Mitteleuropa or Japan) or Australasia (if they've broken from the Entente). Not sure whether the Entente should be an option - there is the bad blood from the Opium War, but on the other hand, the choice could be included with a big dissent hit and low AI chance.

The second flag leads to an event where China becomes increasingly belligerent, breaking from Germany's influence, trying to claim back its more distant lost territories (including Mongolia proper, Tibet and Tuva), and possibly starting a war with Japan over Manchuria (without German backing).

The third, of course, leads to revolts from and possibly a war with Shanqing Tianquo.

Has anyone else tried making these sort of zodiac events from 1939 onwards? It'd be interesting to see what things get "reformed" (especially considering that you'd probably run out of things to reform after a couple years...).
