This is a beta version of the Mod and is not finaliezed. I am releasing it for feedback only.

- Victoria II is still having problems with mod directory, therefore the mod folder is not working as intended.
- Game files reject certain modifications and they must be manually copied on original locations [BACKUP!]
- The mod will overwrite some of original files in yuor history dir (provinces & Diplomacy)
- You need the original Victoria II for this mod to work.

_____________
#############
Installation:
#############

- BACKUP your original Victoria 2 files [History & Common files to be specific]! I cannot stress this enough.
- Unzip the contents into your Mod directory under Victoria 2 folder.
(C:\Program Files\Paradox Interactive\Victoria 2\Mod\).
- You would have to manually copy and paste the contents of the province folders into their original Victoria 2 destination.
- Now delete the province data which you have copied inside the mod folder.
- Do the same procees for history/wars and history/diplomacy folders and delete those from the mod dir after you copied them.
