Oddly named provinces

[Chap]

Some provinces in the game have, currently, base names regarding an area or region, we could say. More specifically, these provinces are Calabria (123), Macedonia (148) and Oltenia (160). I would suggest renaming these provinces by their capital or most important city.

• For Calabria, I would go for Reggio (or Reggio di Calabria, if Reggio Emilia is added in the future). Calabria proper would include the whole province of Cosenza and it currently encompasses just the Neapolitan province of Calabria Ulteriore.
• With Oltenia, we have the same situation. In the first versions of the game, when Wallachia was divided into Oltenia and Muntenia it made sense, but, now that it is divided into 5 provinces and Oltenia proper would be both Oltenia and Severin, it would be better if it is named Craiova (its main city)
• Lastly, Macedonia province makes no sense now, as it currently takes Thessaloniki, its surroundngs and Chalkidiki peninsula. Thessaloniki was an important city before and during EUIV period and it would make more sense if the province and its Dynamic province names refer just to the city. Plus, Macedonia proper would be made out of all the provinces in Macedonia area.

I would provide also some Dynamic Province Names for these provinces

Spoiler: Dynamic province names

Reggio (123): Ríjoles (cas.), Regols (cat.), Rége (fr.), Rhegion (gr.), Rhegium (lat.)
Thessaloniki (148): Selanik (tur.), Solun (ser. + bul.), Salonicco (ita.), Salonique (fr.), Salonic (rom.)
Craiova (160): Krayova (bul.), Krajova (ser.), Krajowa (ger.), Királyi (hun.)

For Macedonia , it is said that the Full province of Macedonia integra all the province in the game so it isnot pretty obvious.

I agree completely, and would also like to mention that there are plenty of oddly named provinces in the game besides the ones OP mentioned, such as Majorca being being named 'the Baleares', while that's the name of the entire archipelago.

I think the worst is all the names in Espagnol when you colonize with Incas ^^

I would say that issue would be related to dynamic province names not being updated to the reworks. Before 1.30, it happened to me that when Spain conquered Sassari it would become Cerdeña (Spanish for Sardinia), as it was the name of the province before spliting it

Well, most of those names have indigenous origin so they are not so out of place

I think we should be able to generate names when we colonize provinces.
