how come my ukranian pops are increasing vastly than my
russian pops? i am playing as russia
It could be due to your Ukrainian provinces having a higher life rating, which is an element in calculating POP growth in a province. Or it could be that you have more Russians emigrating than Ukrainians, so the balance of POPs might be changing. Hard to say without looking at your govt type, budget settings, POP Militancy levels and the like.
how come my pops are migrating to other countries?
Your pops are migrating for possibly many reasons - your political reforms are too little and they seek political freedom in other nations with greater plurality and more political and social reforms. Or you may be taxing/tariffing them too high so they decide to leave for economic reasons. Or they might be minority non-national groups who feel they have no future in your nation due to your residence policies of the current ruling government, so seek freedom in a more minority friendly nation. Or they have different ideologies than your ruling government so seek freedom in another nation ruled by that ideology or at least with more free political reforms and higher plurality. Or they are suffering from war exhaustion and want to go to a more peaceful society. Could be any one of those reasons.
how come my foreign pops!! always increase militancy when they have negative militancy? specially polish.
Even if the rate of militancy is decreasing, if the total militancy they have is greater than 7, there is a major chance they will revolt, especially if you do not have crime fighting at full, which reduces the revolt risk - the percent chance a pop with total high militancy will actually act out their anger and revolt.
And there is always the possiblity that revolts are triggered by events. If you are playing VIP this is especially the case with Polish pops in Russia, as there are a series of revolts in the 1860s.
will assimilation occur in some if my province even if my polish provinces are migrating? will it affect the assimilation of some provinces?
Not unless you have a government with ruling policies that favor assimilation - full citizenship, and IIRC secularized or athiest. Otherwise, no POPs will not assimilate, and remember that assimilation rates in Europe are lower than in the Americas, to reflect the historical reality that assimilation was much, much, much rarer in Europe than in the Americas. Basically, do not expect very much assimilation when you play a European nation unless you have high plurality, a very democratic polticial system, and a government with full citizenship.
One recommendation - if you are playing the VIP mod, you might want to stop playing it, remove it, and go back to playing regular Victoria. VIP is really not recommended to be played by new players, only after players feel comfortable with the basic game mechanics of how things work. As you continue to ask questions that are very basic gameplay concepts covered in Vickywiki, you are probably making learning the game even more difficult for yourself if you have VIP installed as well.
