More formable countries?

[JosunUrashima]

Is it a possibility that we might see the inclusion of more formable countries in the future? be they ones that are a bit further into the future of the game's timeframe (like Austria-Hungary) or just interesting concepts for some? (say a nation formable if you unite all of the Indochina region) or perhaps alternates of ones that existed (example- the Aztec being able to form a more Aztec flavored Mexico?)

Thirteen Colonies doesn't work as well, if a colony on the East Coast of America is going to declare independence then they should be forming America, Thirteen Colonies would be the name for a colonial nation in America for Great Britain. Although even that depends, because what if France and/or Spain decide to colonize parts of the East Coast too, so maybe it'd only be the Seven Colonies? If we're going to add regional tags that can be formed that represent not all of America, as a stop gap until someone forms America, which should ALWAYS be the desired formable in that area, then Carolina would work best, mostly due to the fact that if the North and South merged they would be the biggest state in that area, I would also like to see Florida, and I don't mean modern day Florida, but the old territories of East and West Florida, since it was the Americans who partitioned West Florida, it's possible that a united Florida could exist. These a regional tags I can get behind much easier in America. I would've preferred seeing Massachusetts as the New England region tag, Vermont is just a silly choice, them being in the game works for me, but not as a New England wanna be, Massachusetts had territory all the way up to Maine and even at one point included parts of the modern day provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in Canada. Virginia is another state that could work in the south, but I'd rather see Carolina.

It is my understanding that Florida should be a Colonial Nation-thing of her own, comprising Florida plus Georgia and maybe the Bahamas. Virginia could also have something to it to give a "Dominion State" feeling, but I have no idea of what or how.

I have also complained about how Québec and the rest of Canada (the bits not in Cascadia) should be two different areas, to keep Samuel de Champlain happy.

Sometimes I feel Colombia is too vast, History aside, but that may be because I usually do the "Darien Scheme" on the Scottish mission tree without really wanting to settle anything but Panama, which puts me at odds with the nation settling on the Guianas. Also the Galápagos/Falklands and South Georgia, which makes whomever got Peru and Argentina also really angry.

Florida, both the old East and West, should become it's own colonial region, splitting Georgia from the rest of the East Coast and the Bahamas from the Carribean would be too much, while true that Spanish Florida used to claim parts of current day Georgia and Alabama, but I wouldn't want the historical British Province of Georgia split from the rest of the Thirteen Colonies.

I have also complained about how Québec and the rest of Canada (the bits not in Cascadia) should be two different areas, to keep Samuel de Champlain happy.

Ideally Canada would be split into Acadia and Canada, maybe you could split Canada into Lower and Upper Canada but that would probably be too much. Columbia should be separated from Cascadia, the remants in the north of Cascadia would be renamed to Yukon, since Alaska is just the peninsula while the Yukon River stretches from the northern tip of modern day British Columbia all the way through modern day Yukon into Alaska and out into the Bering Sea. The prairie region of Canada, modern day Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta should become their own. Of course ideally I would prefer a complete revamp of colonies in North America since Canada being less appealing for settlement, it had more trade companies running the land and they covered large areas, but I don't see that changing in EU IV so tweaking the colonial regions is the best for now.

Colombia needs to stay that large to represent the Spanish colony of New Granada and how it revolted into Colombia (Usually this period of Colombia refers to the country as Gran Colombia) before eventually fracturing into modern day Colombia, Venezuela, Panama and Ecuador.
