A lot changed for Greece between the Treaty of Sevres and 1936 though, including several million dead and displaced Greeks who had been living in Anatolia.
That said, I am very happen we have more alt-history options baked into the base game.

Thanks for the clarification! I was worried that I would see some pretty outlandish stuff in non-historical. Well too outlandish.
Have you guys ever thought of creating a menu with various check boxes for features like in CK II?

Yes.
I don't think Byzantium is ahistorical at all. After all, the Greeks tried to do it in 1919, but they were defeated by Ataturk.
The ahistorical thing about Byzantium is its name. "Byzantium" exists only in history books. The name the Byzantines used is Roman Empire. Since Italy can do the same empire in different lands, maybe there's need of a different name, hence Byzantium.

I also wish there was an achievement with the name of "Manchurian Candidate". Though I'm sure that was probably proposed.
When they do the DLC that gives us spies and subterfuge, I could see that one slipping in quite nicely too....
the story is a bit different here tho. There you are forming it for the first time while in HOI its more like leadership are refering back to the glory days for their nation as a way of strengthening their position (dictators and all that) and for those cases moving your capital doesnt really make sense
Look, i don't mind these fantasy nations/scenarios but this is strange to say the least.
Personaly id rather have the content team working on scenarios such as the winter war or barbarossa.
As the games main selling point is about world war II.
It would fit the game a hell a lot more than forming byzantium or the kalmar union.
And btw if they had the time to work on these fantasy nations overcoming and coring states, why not work on a state coring mechanic instead.
Im sorry but this feels like a random feature that just appeared out of nowhere.

"HOI4 is a collection of bad mechanics in a pretty coat and good mechanics hidden beneath layers of obscurity so nobody understands them!"
"I can form Byzantium? Take my money now!"
Seriously though, nice addition if you ask me, my last game was in a modded Byzantium, it will be nice to see if I can put it back on the map myself. Right now I'm back in full swing with EU4 and enjoying it and after that it's probably time to check out Stellaris which seems to be improved from decent to spectecular with a few DLC's so I won't be touching HOI4 for a while but I'm pretty sure I'll be coming back to it at some point in the future. I don't have the feeling I scratched all the layers of the game and I'm sure that a few more gamechanging updates and DLC's like Stellaris had will improve it quit a bit going forward. I'm looking really forward to the alt-history refounding of the German empire or austria-hungary and reforming Rome or Byzantium is going to be icing on the cake.

I can understand that. I just feel it's silly to name your whole country after a city and then not make that city your capital.
STOP! COOKIE TIME
