Where in save file do colonies get leader names?

[Kanaric]

I decided to play as "australia" in this game so I rushed the region as england and colonized it. I'm a monarchy and it's taking names from the english name file so I have like Edward IV as king, lmao.

I'm wondering where in the save file does it pick england's leadername file to take names from? I've pretty much edited the hell out of the australia section removing all references to it being a colony and all that and this still happens.

I'm sorry I don't really understand your question. Could you elaborate? You started as England, and colonized Australia, but I'm not certain are you currently playing as England or did you manage to release and play as Australia?

Here are the names your rulers should have if you are Australia:

Spoiler: Rulers

monarch_names = {
"Phillip #0" = 20
"Lachlan #0" = 20
"William #0" = 15
"John #0" = 15
"Arthur #0" = 10
"Thomas #0" = 10
"Ambrose #0" = 0
"Ralph #0" = 0
"Benjamin #0" = 0
"Brian #0" = 0
"Richard #0" = 0
"Christopher #0" = 0
"Conrad #0" = 0
"Denis #0" = 0
"Duncan #0" = 0
"Eustace #0" = 0
"Frederick #0" = 0
"Gerard #0" = 0
"Gregory #0" = 0
"George #0" = 0
"Homer #0" = 0
"Joseph #0" = 0
"Julius #0" = 0
"Kevin #0" = 0
"Laurence #0" = 0
"Leroy #0" = 0
"Lewis #0" = 0
"Matthew #0" = 0
"Michael #0" = 0
"Montgomery #0" = 0
"Nicholas #0" = 0
"Peter #0" = 0
"Rowan #0" = 0
"Scott #0" = 0
"Silvester #0" = 0
"Spencer #0" = 0
"Ulysses #0" = 0
"Victor #0" = 0

"Victoria #0" = -1
"Ambrosia #0" = -1
"Charlotte #0" = -1
}

If you are still playing England, then Edward is a valid name.

In any case the names are picked from: Europa Universalis IV\common\countries

It seems like you need to set colonial_parent="AUS", in the section for your tag.
The default value would be colonial_parent="ENG", if you started as England.

To localize it, search the file for "human=yes" then "colonial_parent" (without the " "). The first hit should then be the one you want to change.

It would be nice to know if this is working as intended after releasing, and if there is a way to get the Australian names in game without doing save file editing.
