How do you culture change ? e.g. form Greece as Venice

[Blust]

I've read threads about people saying basically "yeah I took a bunch of provinces then I change my country from Greece to Italy and boum" and I'm like "how ?".

Is there a way to do it ? A simple trick ? For example, I play Venice. I took half of Byzantium, of Bosnia and some islands, but my only mission available is "form Italy" (I can't for now obviously).

You'd make your primary culture Greek.

You will need to culture shift your primary culture to Greek. This can be done from the country tab where you promote cultures for.the cost of 100 adm. You will need at least 50% of your core state territory to be Greek Culture. This can be achieved by developing Greek culture land you have cored or unstating other cultures land. (You will need to recore these lands afterwards).

Fixed.

You'll likely have to move your capital to Greece, otherwise you might have too much Venetian culture as you can't unstate your capital. I'd also suggest doing it when you've stocked up on admin points. Unstating, and then restating, and then recoring is an expensive process. If you don't do it quickly, the provinces that used to be highly productive will be stuck at 75% autonomy. That really cripples your income and manpower.

No need to move capital or unstate Venezia. You would have to unstate everything that's not Venetian or Greek. Changing primary culture costs 100 dip on top of the cost of promoting culture. No need to re-core anything that was unstated unless it's a province so valuable that you can't live without.

Will try that, thanks you all
