Is Venice without Venice still Venice ?

[cuendillar]

So, not only is the US the modern Rome, its also the modern Venice.

Oh no, they gonna get a civil war aas soon as someone mishears Terra Firma for "Terror firm".

The Holy Roman Empire never held Rome.

Rome was Rome when it was based in Ravenna. Free France was France when it didn’t have France. Heck, Byzantium was ”Rome” for a millennia despite not controlling the city the entire time.

In time the Venetians in this scenario would likely form their own unique culture, or become Hellenized, but they would probably keep the title of “Venice”.

Maybe one general solution would be a cultural transition of states - if they own no provinces of their primary culture but instead a majority of another, that can become their primary culture, while they abandon old cores. They would then start desiring provinces of their new primary culture and if they can conquer land that makes them eligible for a formable, their transition will be complete. That way an exiled Venice could potentially become Dalmatia or Greece.

Except Byz was never Byz except when Byz no longer existed historically and an English historian thought it would be cool to rename them.

Was German but yeah

A better one would be the HRE or RE.

HRE held Rome more recently compared to byz

So what you mean is AI using the existing change primary culture mechanic?
