I was playing as the Chinese Empire,and the Ottoman Empire lost its Great War againts UK ( It was UK,US,France,Brazil,and Spain vs Germany,Austria-Hungary,Italy,Ottoman Empire,and Russian Empire)

The Ottomans lost a lot of land to Bulgaria and Greece.As a result,the communist start to rebel up againts the empire,which end up overthrowing the government,and they successfully establish revolutionary party as the main political party.The Russian Empire also suffer the same fate,and it became the Soviet Union.

I was expecting the Ottoman Empire to change its name to Socialist Republic of Turkey or something,but instead I got this:

That is soooo historically inaccurate.How is Turkey a COMMUNIST? Did Paradox failed History or something??? Turkey is a parliamentary representive democracy !!!!This is worst than HOI4 Neo-Ottoman Empire nonsense!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do you think a "Socialist Republic of Turkey" would be commonly called?

Because communist usually use the name "Socialist" and "Republic" ,so why not.

I mean they really would be just commonly called "Turkey" still, even if communist with a full name like "Socialist Republic of Turkey".

Now this is an oversight imo:

Many countries have their default name as communist and fascist governments. It's not anything specific to Turkey, so there's no need to think Paradox is attacking or something...

It's not changed to Turkey because it's Communist, it's changed to Turkey because it's no longer a monarchy. This is what happened when Ataturk founded the Republic of Turkey, abolishing the Sultanate and therefore the monarchy. So actually, it's very historically accurate.

If you find the spot in the localisation files, you could make it so that a communist Turkey is called something along the lines of the "Near East People's Union", or something similar.
