Ethnicities

[Hostovsky 13]

A tag can be added to each country, this tag will denote the nationality/race. For example 1 French Republic will have the same nation, I mean that these states will have the ethnos "French" and not "1 French Republic" or "French Empire". This would simplify the game considerably. Instead of assimilation, you could then add state support. You could also add a system of territorial claims, where you could fabricate claims to any of the provinces, and provoke rebellions and/or attempted annexation of territory

This is a good idea, I have also been thinking about that too, it would make so much more sense to have ethnic populations instead of the simple AoH2 mechanic. I have an idea that there should be certain political parties that can affect ethnic populations in one way, like a fascist government would want to unite ethnic populations and a monarchy could create new ethnic populations? its an idea.
