This is a continuation of my previous work on Assyria, now in a larger scope, adding religious mechanics, mission tree, government reforms and national ideas ( NI's areCourtesy of FredrikSlicer). Through missions and modifiers I have aimed at creating a strong playstyle for a reborn Assyria which gives bonuses to both military, convesion and indirect rule through vassals. Sometimes even making contradictory modifiers avaible (such as having +2 promoted cultures, and reduced culture conversion cost, missionary strenght and tolerance of heretics). Play as the first empire the world ever saw, the empire from which all thereafter came from
Most of the source material is from wikipedia or are linked during the conversation in this thread below: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/independent-assyrian-tribes.1046634/ by @oim8 and this thread by @AndrejK in his old thread https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/fertile-crescent-focus-on-details.920691/
Two new provinces, Hakkari with the independent Hakkari tag, Assyrian culture and Nestorian religion. Goods produced is Wool, and I'll probably up it's development from the 1/1/1 I originally made it into (1/2/2 feels better). To the south is the Amadiya province of the Bahdinan emirate, part of Bitlis but have Assyrian culture and Nestorian religion, development around 5 aswell and an Hakkari core
3 additional provinces have been changed, Mardin now have Assyrian culture but coptic religion, and not seen in above map Urmia have Assyrian culture, Nestorian religion and Hakkari core.
Socotra now are Nestorian rather than Coptic

The Assyrian tribes founding principle is the division of temporal and spiritual power between two brothers, one spiritual leader, the Metropolitan and his brother the civil chief reigning over the local lords.
+2 tolerance of true faith
Interfaith communities
Long have we lived close to Jews, yezidis and kurds and fostered many happy friendships and as the powers around seek to subvert our independence these bonds have become even more important.

Legacy of Adiabene
The ecclesiastical province of Adiabene once united much of what we once called Assyria and though it perished during the 14th century the christian communities remain as the last bastion of the church of the east to liberate our brothers and unite the followers of Christ.

God raised up the Assyrians
The Assyrians were once the instrument of god having granted us an empire with which to do his work:

Assyrian/nestorian governments:
As Assyrian tribes had both civil and religious leadership, and the highest power in the Assyrian world were the patriarch of the church, I have design option for both an Assyrian monarchy infused with divine power, and a Syriac theocracy headed by the patriarch.
Theocratic government available to Syriac Christians
Syriac Theocracy
Theocratic government; haven't figured out how to best define it's scope, but idea is that anyone following syriac rite Christianity, so including nestorians, Coptic/myaphisite syriacs, Maronite Catholics, and indian S:t Thomas Christians
+1 tolerance of true faith
+1 missionary strength
-10% culture conversion cost
(representing the use of Syriac scripture/language and rite)
if nestorian:
+0.5 church power (more about this on religious mechanics)
Reform/Secularization? government reform:
Patriarch of the East
+2 Tolerance of Heretics
+25% improve relationship
(typical title held by Syriac patriarchs, represents their claim to all of eastern Christianity)
Monarchy government reform
Patriarch King
Avaible to Assyria
A monarchy there the king is invested with the spiritual power of the patriarch and rules with divine right
-10% subject liberty desire
-10% unjustified demands
+1 states
+5 maximum absolutism

Or Nestorianism. Here follows the mechanics I thought out for this religion. Worth noting is that I designed the religion to be weak for smaller state and grow in power the larger the state becomes
Nestorian religion
When reading about church of the east, we mostly see list of different ecclesiastical provinces, being of great importance I decided to design a feature around designating metropolitan provinces, as a mix between the already existing orthodox mechanic and the ottoman pasha mechanic.
Base modifiers and religious icon are same as CK2 converter:
-10% administrative technology cost
+2 tolerance of true faith
-1% local missionary strenght
Establishing an Ecclesiastical province increases state maintenance by 33%, gives reduced devastation in the province and is the main way to achieve church power/patriarch authority (haven't come up with a unique name for this yet). removing an ecclesiastical provinces causes loss of church power
The idea is that in the religion tab there is a meter which is filled up based primarily on the number of ecclesiastical provinces. The meter on it's own reduces stability cost at 25% when full.
In the tab there are 4 different action target nation can choose that gives bonuses (only 1 bonus can be active at a time):
1. Surviving in isolation:
Costs 10 church power
For 10 years
Reduces church power gain with 10%
Gives 50% hostile core creation in capital province area
2. Developing the interior province
costs 25 church power
gives 1 year cash income
for 10 years:
reduces church power gain with 25%
-10% Development cost in home region
3. Expanding the exterior provinces
costs 50 church power
gives 1 year manpower
for 10 years:
reduces church power gain with 50%
-25% core creation cost* in one region not your home**
*could be replaced with -20% aggressive expansion if deemed to powerful
**Idea is that you get a list of regions to choice from, you have to have at least 25% of development in that region region
4. Communion with the catholic church
Is permanently in effect until deactivated and can always be activated as long as no other modifier is in place
gives -100% church power gain.
Removes all diplomatic penalties with Catholics, Catholics are treated as true faith and target country is also protected by the catholic defender of faith/can claim the title themselves
Through unique nestorian missions, there is also the the possibility to create 3 centers of reformations in Mer, China and India, which will help spread the nestorian faith outside the boundaries in the motherland, just like it did historically though trade and missionaries.
Church power gain per year:
(all numbers are sketch work)
Base +0.5 for duchy/kingdom +1 for empire
+0.5 for Syriac theocracy government reform
+0.5 from religious ideas
+0.5 for 100% religious unity (Scaling from 0 at 50%, 0.1 at 60% etc)
+0.1 from every ecclesiastical province capped at 5/month i.e. E.provinces over 50 won't give any benefits
+0.5 for Province of the Patriarch modifier
Meaning a max of 8 church power per month, costs 50 to activate focus on external provinces, takes 7 years to form up enough church power, once activated you loose your 50 church power and only get +4 for the next ten years, meaning it will be 12 years until you can activate next time, and this is only if you choose all ways to gain extra power

My attempt at missions have been a lot of going back and forth between how large missions should be, and how I should define certain mission areas/criteria for what counts here and there. I have been mixing between using concepts from ancient Assyria, modern Assyria/Aramea and the history of the Church of the east to gain what I think is a smooth chain of missions with not too many oddities
Rewards are typically not refined unless I have something I specifically had in mind as a reward and could definitely get worked at in many of the missions.

Assyria and Nestorianism is designed to be an extremely poor starter, but once the snowballs goes rolling it becomes a massive power with strong bonuses for conquest and managing it's empire in various ways.
Are you ready to take one of the strongest challenges EUIV could possibly offer? Restore the original Empire to it's rightful place in the sun?
Achievement:
Translatio Imperii: As Assyria, be the only empire rank nation in the game
In general I would appreciate any feedback on mechanics, numbers etc, but also added content such as name lists for assyrians, dynamic names for provinces etc and so far I have no events for this topic, a few which could be made covering the rise of Assyria, the archeological excavations of ancient mesopotamia, the religious relations etc.
