The regional divisions of the Europe western regions, part of the Western Europe super-region.
Europe western regions
Britain region
France region
Iberia region
Low Countries region
The Western European regions are part of the Western Europe super-region . Most of the major nations in these regions are historical explorers and colonizers. These nations are the ones primarily responsible for the increasing flow of wealth into the continent from the newly discovered lands. As such, they have an inclination to pick idea groups suited for this role. Even so, nations which are located near the HRE can become entangled instead in the continental wars and the coming religious wars.
The break-down of the Western European regions are as follows:
Government types
Feudal Nobility is the dominant government type (notable exceptions are the English Monarchy and the Iqta in Granada ).
There are a couple of Theocracy governments and a single Republic in the middle area.
Religions
Catholic is the dominant religion in these parts at the 1444 start.
A Sunni holdout is located at the southern part of the area.
As reform desire reaches its peak in the Christian world, the Protestant and Reformed denominations will start to spread across the continent. Anglican can also spawn in Britain.
Technology groups
Almost all nations in these parts belong to the Western technology group (with the exception of Granada which is Muslim).
Culture groups
British and Celtic in the northern part.
French and Germanic in the central and northeastern parts respectively.
Iberian in the southwestern part.
Formable / Reformable nations [ edit ]
Some of these nations don't exist at the 1444 campaign start. They can appear if another nation chooses to form them.
Revolter nations [ edit ]
These nations don't exist and also lack cores at the 1444 campaign start. They can still appear if Separatist rebels manage to take control of their cultural provinces.
Notes: These articles refer to the state of the world at the start of the grand-campaign (1444-11-11); meaning, if a nation is picked in other time points it may have different attributes. Table listings include: [1] 1444 starting nations, [2] 1444 releasable nations. Other tags, [3] later start/pure formables/revolters ("wild card" stats), are mentioned at the top. Worth noting, [4] a nation is assigned a home region based on its capital's location, [5] location names use the default localisation for consistency reasons (for searching in-game enter the provided province numbers). For a list of all available tags check the Countries article.
Britain region [ edit ]
Notes:
This region holds provinces necessary for forming Great Britain and Ireland .
If either of them cease to exist, England and Scotland may be reformed by another country with appropriate culture.
