Problem with turning US colonies into states

[unmerged(136795)]

It's 1861 in my game and I have all of the modern day continental USA. The last 10 years I've slowly been turning the colonies in the American West into states.

By now they are all states except 5. The problem is, North Dakota, South Dakota, Colorado, Kansas and Oklahoma will not turn into states because when I prioritize bureaucrats it immediately churns out Native American/Dakota bureaucrats, which are not allowed in the 1% necessary.

Anybody got any solutions. Focus on Immigration maybe?

Has anybody else encountered a similar problem (bump).

Simply change your national focus to stop churning out bureaucrats and change it to immigration first, then when a larger % of the PoP's are Yankee, THEN do bureaucrats.

Yeah that plan makes the most sense.

I'm just annoyed because those PoPs ruined my neat plans of developing a transcontinental rail system.

Strangley enough I have sone just that, have lots of immagration until the states are 80-90% Yankee and still the NAM's are picked over Yankees. My only thought as to why would be that there is already an existing bureacrat POP that had grown only from my admin slider.

Yeah I'm encountering the same problem.

And assimilation is not working on the Dakota or Native Americans at all as its currently in the negatives, and I have no clue how to encourage assimilation either.

The same thing happened to me as Two Sicilies in Tunisia. I encouraged a bunch of South Italian immigration until it was by far the majority in the state then tried to make more bureaucrats and they would all go to the minority stack. They wouldn't assimilate either, so I'm guessing the only solution is to try to get your minority bureaucrats to become something else by not paying them and raising taxes, and then hoping once there are 0 the new ones will become an accepted culture; however, this doesn't seem like a viable long-term solution.

Yeah this seems like a serious bug to me. Hopefully somebody will figure out a remedy for the issue when I bump it in the morning.

Do you really need to bump every four hours?

Either way, ditto, same problem.

Happens to me aswell in Seattle as the UK. Then again if you're patient you can pretty much eradicate the NAM presence and then it's plain sailing. I did this in Oregon by having an immigration focus for about 5/6 in game years and it did the job perfectly.
