How does Paradox decides which countries are added to the game?

Clearly playing a custom nation and trolling y'all.

This answer is too simple and not satisfying for the angry mob! xD

Well... Empire of Jewish Baden with Irish as their main culture is always a realistic option.

 

[Wizzington]

I love custom nations. They're great. I have tons of friends who are custom nations. But custom nations are destroying Ireland. I am not playing a custom nation.

Do I look to you like the kind of person who would be playing as Meath?

Yes.

Do you think that is a reasonable thing to expect me to be doing?

I don't know, whatever suits your fetishes

Is playing Meath something you see as a worthwhile use of my time?

Could be.

I've always been partial to Sligo, myself. It's so devious sounding.

Anyone with a background in history could easily justifiy the channel islands as being more important than a sigificant number of Tags in EUIV's timeline, at least as far as European politics were concerned. They aren't there because they would be technically difficult to add. They are the periods only republic to survive the whole timeline.

Considering that India is a formable country, why not Europe ?

I`m not kidding, the Indians are even more diverse than Europeans in customs, religion and languages.

Sure, the British released an entire sub-continent as a country, but if the British wouldn`t have conquered India we might see the emergence of 5, 6 Indian states rather than India we see today with Pakistan and Bangladesh on the side.

India was almost united several times before the british rule under the Moguls or the Marathas.

I think i got it. If you were trolling all the time then I am sad :d

Who was stronger east or west?

The German one.

I have a feeling you're leading us on Wiz, but I'll bite anyway.
Highland Scotland did have Irish immigration (and vice versa) are we seeing a possible new Highland culture? Although those would certainly be uncommon names.

I suppose a Highlander culture isn't unthinkable, so long as there is only one. Can't be more than that.

But it would have to be played by a Frenchman whilst the Iberians are played by a Scot ...

 

[DanubianCossak]

Haha. Nice one.

 

[MacDuffin]

Oh man, the thought of something new in the Isles other then England certainly has me excited, although I'm trying to refrain from setting myself up for disappointment.

Ok I give up. I don't know what you were plaing. I have found some kingdoms like West and East Breifne in Ireland existing at the time. Some clans and others. I like how you are messing around with us. I'll look on this update along with the Dev diaries.

Well?

Ever since I found out about paradox games I've told myself, these guys probably use a lot of Meath.

The mans pulling on my heart strings for sure, he could very well be Meathing it up in the screenshot and just fuelling the theory fire.
It would be nice to see the clans though, like the Cossacks they might rise up, either to depose the monarch, or form their own nation.

We'd best keep an eye out for The Kurgans near the Caspian.
