Cultural unions can't become accepted?

[TheDarkMaster]

Playing a game as Naples, I noticed in my government screen that the Umbrian culture is listed as a "Culture Union" and doesn't have a percentage of my base tax listed next to it. It doesn't seem like I'm capable of getting it as an accepted culture, and have to keep the same culture group malus. Is this intentional? Is there an interface issue that simply isn't showing how close I am to getting the culture accepted?

I'm pretty sure it's just an interface issue. You can still get same culture group cultures as accepted; go to the economy section of the ledger to see how close you are.

If you formed Italy, then no, you can't get it accepted, but it doesn't give any penalties anyway due to you being the Italian cultural union.

If you formed the HRE, then I'm not sure. The tooltip will show things in your own culture group as "cultural union" even if you're actually the cultural union of a different culture group, but I'm not sure how that affects your ability to get those cultures accepted.

I haven't formed anything, I'm still Naples and don't plan on changing that. The only extra Italy province I've taken is Rome (I converted to Reformed), which gives me two Umbrian provinces. My goal in this game is Africa, and so far that's the only place I'm conquering.

Oh, looks like there's a bit more going wrong with that tooltip then

Here is a screenshot of the problem:

I'll post a bug report about it.
