  • And much more!

703 States implemented
4110 Unique state renaming entries
74 Language types

Most minor languages and nations have translations for states with cores, in their surrounding region or historical territories.
Some translated names are very literal or theoretical, but all manually selected for accuracy.
The Endonyms used are transliterated into latin text, using the diacritics supported by the game.
In absence of a unique translated name for a state it will revert back to the English/common form.

I have been working on this project off and on for several years as a passion project to optimise my immersion. This mod should remain working on existing States and Victory Points if they aren’t changed in future updates.
Future content: India, Iran, China, America, whatever people suggest.
