Galicia, but with cool ideas.

RT +1,0 is still rediculusly powerful, this means getting 2,0 republican tradtion per year at least. For every 4 Years election cycle you get 8 RT, this means that by every reelection you effectively lose only 2 RT, that means that only every 20 Years you need to take a new candidate if you want to do this indefinitely without dropping to much in RT. If you have some nice powerprojection, than Its even more extreme, but anyway, with 2 RT you can easily end up with a 6 5 5 ruler every 20 years. In average without national focus (and without advisors and powerprojection) you will have generated 2016 Points of the focus of your ruler and 1440 Points of the other two.

I'll surely test this. Right now I'm thinking about a Reformed Merchant Republic from the beginning of the game. Most of the ideas I want for the nation are in the Diplomatic part, so it'll be a pain to get this done with 200 Points

Vinland of course.
Oh, and the Great Inca Norse Dutch Republic of New Inca located in Japan.

 

[WiseGreen]

Some ideas I've thinking about this afternoon: Vinland in Newfondland, English Croatoan somewhere in New England, Grrek Atlantis (maybe in Cape Verde or St. Helen), Agartha (somewhere between western China, Tibet and Kashmir), Umayyad or Almoravid Qurtubah, Shiah Fatimids in Egypt, Norman Sicily, a coptic theocracy in India (with Prester John as a leader).

 

[Junuxx]

Sparta.

 

[Zhetone]

Minnesota, norse culture and norse religion. Legendary Viking state in the middle of the Americas!
No idea what I would do for the tech group though, native seems weird and western is ridiculous.

 

[WiseGreen]

Monkey Island, somewhere in the Caribbean. Flag would be something original like a skull on a black back ground.

Ok, we can close the thread now, I don't know how one can top this one

Clearly, we need to be represented by sub-Saharan tech. You know, because of all the Somalis here now.
Alternatively, Chinese tech because of the Hmong.

 

[Alerias]

I was thinking of changing the premise of initial scenario around.

"After the Ottomans' crushing defeat at Varna, a new crusader state has taken over their land on one side of the the Aegean sea and thrown the Turks back to Anatolia.Instead of handing back the gains to the Byzantine Empire, however, latent religious differences led the Crusaders to establish a new Crusader state in the rubble, and tensions with the remnants of Rome run high. Is the World's Desire the Crusaders' next target?"

Perhaps something like a Holy Order government and John Hunyadi as ruler.

Should be a fair bit of fun to play, with custom ideas and all. After absorbing Byzantium too, the Catholic crusaders and their faith-bonuses and military-bonuses heavy state would then march forward in their holy quest to remove kebab all the way to Mecca.

Catholic...CATHOLIC?!
That's not the real Rome, that's it's shadow before it's fall.
The true Rome is Hellenic.

Orthodox is perfectly acceptable, after all the empire had long converted to the worship of the one true god before the fall of the western half. The real issue why Catholic is unacceptable is that it centralizes power in the hands of the bishop of Rome by an era where the seat of the Empire was in the east. I'm sure the Byzantines would have been all over the idea of a single supreme patriarch if he was under their thumb or if their emperor could himself hold the title.

Believe me, I wish I could get Rome to be this:

But what are my options? Animist? Shamanist? Romans are no tree worshiping Barbarians!

Both, probably.

They wouldn't be there though.
What I would base it on is if the Kensington runestone were authentic and vikings actually did make it to the Mississippi, and settled

I Don't think anyone said they tried to settle, at least notsomuch as they just sort of came and went.

Actually no one "knows" really, the stone was rather cryptic and just said that they came for an expedition and someone died
