Religion tolerance settins

i would say there are more than one culture inside the united states. Hell i live in detroit michigan, and if i travel an hour or so north it almost seems like i have entered a different country. All those people driving old pick-ups and walking around bare foot, scary to think about it. Anyway, 100 is out of the question, 50 tops (one for each state would sound realistic, but not in game terms) but a better solution would be three: East Coast, MidWest, and Western ( think about all those old wild west shoot outs going on while New York City was a thriving banking city)

The first part is Urban vs Rural, hardly represented in game terms.
I think sub cultures is what you are getting at here.
As for the rest, it depends on what your definition of culture is. If it is the ruling classes culture, which it seems to be for game terms, the USA has 1.

I might argue for three cultures in the US, though there's probably really only one, at least in the EUII sense of culture. Urban, Innercity, and Rural. A person living in the Chicago suburbs probably has a good deal in common with someone living in Manhattan, and certainly more in common with them than someone living on the Southside, or in Watts, or in Iowa (no offense to any Iowans out there )

But they all have in common;

ApplePie
& Baseball

OK, I stand corrected
but I still think a heavy minus value for a Christian province occupied by even tolerant Muslims is wrong. At best it should be neutral - i.e. "they don't bother us much" - so no effect on revolt risk.

The minus already hits them where it hurts- their pocketbooks. That -30% on taxes really stings, especially considering the Balkans aren't that rich to begin with.

Well, some coutnries have hardcoded religion-settings... The poor old Golden Horde will never be able to keep their empire in one piece just because they are doomed to hate the orthodox....
I would argue that more countries had hardcoded tolerations for certain religions which would be more realistic. I would think about Spain or Austria not being very tolerant toward islam (+ Spain not being gald with protestants) . On the other hand, countries as Poland or Ottoman Empire should get quite hughe tolerance possibilities.
But well, it has been discussed before and as usually it stays only here - as a wish (what a shame they threw away that good old wishlist-forum )

Que?
How does an unjustifiable REDUCTION in revolt risk hit tax income?
