Tripoli is a formable country in the Maghreb. It can be formed by any country with Tunisian or Berber culture and with their capital in Tripolitania or Fezzan. It can also be formed due to rebellions and can be released as a vassal.

Tripoli exists as of 1503.

Formation[edit | edit source]

id

Form Tripolitania

In order to further our claims on this region we must control the Mediterranean coast. Once we rule the port of Tripoli itself the world will recognize us for more than the petty kingdom they consider us to be now.

Potential requirements

The country:

was never an end-game nation.
is not the Holy Roman Empire, The Papal State, Tripoli, Algiers, Morocco, [ Tunis or Tlemcen.
has not yet enacted this decision.
is not a colonial nation.
has Tunisian or Berber primary culture
has its capital in Tripolitania or Fezzan areas.

If the country is AI-controlled then it:

is not a custom nation
is not a former colonial nation.

Playing with normal or historical nations

Allow

Tripoli does not exist.
The country:

is not a subject nation other than a tributary state.
is not at war
is not a nomad nation.
owns the core provinces:
- Tripoli (354)
- Thubaqt (2451).
- Sirt (355) or Tataouine (353).

Tripoli (354) is part of a state

Effects

The country:

becomes Tripoli.
gains 25 prestige.
adopts 'Tunisian' as primary culture
becomes a monarchy if has a tribal government
gets the event ‘New Traditions & Ambitions’, unless it has custom or Berber ideas
increases rank to kingdom, if it is a duchy
removes all provinces from the Holy Roman Empire, if it is a member and not an elector or the emperor.
gains a permanent claim on Tripolitania area

If Tripoli (354) is part of the HRE, but its owner is not a member then:

the province is removed from the HRE.
the Holy Roman Emperor:
- gets the opinion modifier “Removed provinces from the Empire” towards the owner, worth −50 opinion with a yearly decay of 1.
- loses 1 imperial authority.

Tripoli (354):

becomes the new capital of the owner country.

AI will always take this decision.

Provinces in orange must be owned and cored to form Tripoli, also one of the red. Forming Tripoli grants permanent claims to all coloured provinces.

Raid coasts[edit | edit source]

Costal Raiding is a naval ability added in the Mare Nostrum expansion which allows fleets belonging to nations with the Raid Coasts idea to raid the coasts of other nations of a different religion for loot (ducats) and sailors. The Golden Century DLC introduces Pirate Republics and Custom Nations with the Pirate Republic government. This idea is also available to Custom Nations. Pirate Republics, Normandy, Somalia, and countries with Norse ideas may also raid coasts of countries with the same religion.

Historically, this ability reflects the raids carried out by Barbary pirates which were active in the Mediterranean Sea during the mid-16th to early 19th centuries while in the case of the three Pirate Republics, it simulates the Golden Age of Piracy in the Caribbean Sea from the mid-16th to the early 18th century. So is a special case, as it represents a resurgence of the Japanese Wokou Pirates that raided the coasts of East Asia intermittently from the 4th century to the 17th century.

Raiding can provide a significant early-game boost to the income and sailor pools of nations that can do it and can also serve as a way to damage the economy of other nations. An example of this is So, which can employ Coastal Raiding against Ming to pile up devastation and cause Ming to potentially lose the Mandate of Heaven and collapse.
