Unite Georgia

Ever since the abdication of Alexander I, Georgia has been divided and devastated by in-fighting. This has allowed other countries to control the internal politics of the region and oppress our people. The time has come to once again unite the Georgian people and reforge the kingdom that was once lost!


Potential requirements The country: has not yet enacted this decision. has Georgian as primary culture. is not the Papal State or the Holy Roman Empire. was never an end-game tag is not a colonial nation. If the country is AI-controlled, it can not be a former colonial nation. it can not be a custom nation.	Allow Georgia does not exist. The country: is not at war. is not a subject nation other than a tributary state. is not a nomad nation. owns its core provinces: Imereti (422), Tbilisi (423), Kakheti (2203), Kars (2204) and Kartli (4301). Odishi (462), Guria (2196) or Oltu (4303).

Effects The country: changes to Georgia. gets permanent claims on Kartli-Kakheti, Samstkhe (area) and Imereti (area) that it does not own. gets the modifier “Increased Centralization” for 20 years with the following effects: −0.05 monthly autonomy change, +1 national unrest. gains 25 prestige. If Georgia: is a member of the Holy Roman Empire but not the emperor or an elector then all its provinces are removed from the HRE. it is a duchy then becomes a kingdom. does not have custom ideas then it gets the event ‘New Traditions & Ambitions’.
