Zulu is a nation that is releasable via event either by the Mutapa and Rozwi Empire mission Recuit the Nguni or by the decision Militarize the Nguni. From 1750 onward, the event can happen without getting triggered by the mission/decision. They can also have cores spawned by separatists.

Zulu Government[edit | edit source]

Zulu has a unique government in the Zulu tribe:

−2 National unrest
−0.02 Montly war exhaustion
+2 Monarch military skill
−50% Governing capacity modifier

Note: Zulu Tribe doesn't set a minimum of 2 for rulers, but directly increases their military stat by 2. Due to the way ruler stats are calculated, it gives a 6/16 or 37.5% chance of getting a 6 ruler.

Militarization[edit | edit source]

The government reforms Prussian Monarchy, Stratocratic Administration, Militaristic Divine State, Crusading Empire, Livonian Militarist Monarchy and Zulu Tribe have militarization which is a system that gives army-oriented bonuses the more militarized the nation gets on a scale of 0 to 100%. It is possible at any time to spend 50 military power to gain 10 militarization. At 100% militarization of the state the country will gain:

	+10%	Discipline
	+20%	Manpower recovery speed
	−20%	Land maintenance modifier

Monthly militarization is affected by the following:

	Triggers
+0.020	Has completed the Prussian mission Empower the Junkers
+0.020	Has enacted the nobility privilege “Junker Supremacy”
+0.050	Has enacted the republican government reform Stratocratic Administration
+0.050	With the parliament issue “Extend Militarization of the State”
+0.050	with tier 3 Brandenburg Gate (+0.01 with Tier 1 and +0.02 with Tier 2)
+0.100	Army tradition (at 100%)
+0.025	Legitimacy (at 100%)
+0.000	Legitimacy (at 50%)
−0.025	Legitimacy (at 0%)
−0.010	Over governing capacity (per 1%)
−0.500	Bankruptcy
