I've played a range of monarchies (but not Austria), and I wonder what are the conditions to get a reigning Queen? I've never had a woman on the throne or even as heir; I've noticed Maria Theresia von Habsburg, since that event is broadcast globally. Can a female heir or a queen occur in any christian monarchy? What about republics and monarchies of the other religions?

Cool! Maybe I had a queen and didn't even notice (I doubt it though).

A further question would be that, isn't there historical precedent for Queen consorts to have real power in the event of an heir being too young. I think many of the Queen regents of the period came to power this way.

Yes. I can say this for sure in France. This is why, IMO, you need to know at least who you're married to and which dynasty she is from. Then you can have her as a regent.

It's based entirely on the country and it's monarch name list.

This - If I recall correctly, someone pointed out a while back that only nations with female rulers in their name list are capable at having female rulers at all. Without names - No ruler. (Which makes sense I suppose - Otherwise the game would have to start borrowing names from other cultures)

Thanks for the hint about the country-specific name lists, it makes sense. A quick look in the files shows that every country seems to have a few women in the list, and yes even the native american tribes (I looked at Zapotec, Creek and Shawnee), but they have a very low numbers (I assume that's the chance for each name to occur).

England/Great Britain and Castille/Spain have high chances of producing females.

Go to Europa Universalis IV/common/countries, search for the country and reach for monarch names, the ones with negative values indicates the female ones, the lower the number, less the likehood.

Does lower mean less negative or more negative?

There is of course no way to really implement this in-game without overhauling the monarch mechanics :)

Not true. There is an on_action called on_regent that does what you think. Add a random event to this that maybe only triggers for certain religious groups or technology groups or whatever that immediately does a define_ruler = { ... dynasty = ROOT regent = yes female = yes } if, say, not = { heir_age = 10 }. Tweak the chances of the random event firing and the maximum heir age to your desire, and you literally have modded-in the concept of a Queen Regent (literally understood by the game as a regent for the heir, so she'll abdicate when the proper heir comes of age). Hell, have a random event that can fire for the Queen Regent usurping the throne entirely from an [illegitimate] heir if he has a weak claim ( not = { heir_claim = ... } ).

Nations like France are nearly impossible.

As it should be, actually France should have a 0 % chance of getting a Queen since they have 'always' had a agnatic succession order from what I know atleast.
