Suggestion - Tie Assimilation to Education

[Darkrenown]

Disputes over the languages allowed in education resulted in friction between nationalities, but the education itself could lead to assimilation. For example, if Hungary increases its funding for its system of public education, but also forbids instruction in languages other than Magyar, this should lead to an increasing number of students assimilated into Magyar culture through their education but also increased irritation from members of nationalities that want instruction in their own languages.

It could perhaps be tied to your minority policy. E.g if you have full citizenship then your minority pops would increase in literacy at the same rate as your main culture pops with no gain in nationalism and be more likely to assimilate, but for each step down the policy ladder they would gain less literacy and more nationalism.

I don't think the 'nice' minority policies need to be any more overpowered than they already are. If anything, limited citizenship should have the best assimilation rate.

That makes sense for immigrant POPs, but for native minority POPs I think that a policy of full citizenship should result in less assimilation from education than a harsher minority policy. A state with a policy of full citizenship could be interpreted to be lenient toward demands by native groups for instruction in their own language, in which case education would not lead as much to assimilation as when, under a harsher policy, the minorities are forced to use the language of the state culture and given the same historical and literary instruction as members of the state culture. Of course, a harsher minority policy would also result in higher militancy.

Good point(s).
