a few small changes
removed some meme countries that should never exist. the dakota republic, the pueblo republic, the new american alliance, the oregon republic, and the colorado republic. now they should remain part of the US even if the rest (the actual populated parts) break off. so in the worst case scenario the US will be the midwest alliance, rather than some random pieces
winning a brother's war now gives the country 100 influence with countries of their culture that are not in a sphere
lowered balkan migration early game a bit further
lowered the mtth of the event to annex the UBD as germany by half
the dutch now get a decision to get cores on flanders if belgium ceases existing

ancaps can no longer nationalize investments.
stara ladoga is now no longer part of the ingria state so that ingria is now a purely baltic state

improved turkish colonization of the lybian desert a bit
cores spread a lotfaster now if the province is not militant

batum now has armenian cores
deseret now gets a core in tucson
minor change on US dismantling

nerfed brazilian reforms slightly to help other sudacas get immigrants too. might need to be more radical later
SGF and the GCF can now form papal italy AND get cores on milan and venetia as long as they own those lands
not possible to do comodore perry's expedition while above 5 war exhaustion anymore, to prevent the dumb ai from keeping itself exhausted
Wallonia now petitions to join France in case belgium doesn't exist, as a nice complement to the fact that the netherlands can now claim flanders if belgium does not exist, to prevent buffer flanders or buffer wallonia from existing. Of course, this requires them to either be in the french sphere or in no sphere and have decent relations with france.
paraguay can now return entre rios in exchange for humiliating argentina further and losing infamy
poland-lithuanian decision now only requires puppets to own the land
the german confederation now partitions wallonia in case they decide to take the whole state instead of just their cores
transylvania no longer petitions to join a non-neighbor germany
communists and fascists can now remove turks
baltic, basques, balkan and caucasian cultures migrate internally less now (unless they're accepted) because their regions are low pop and thus very very easy to replace ethnically, not from bringing in other people, but rather from them themselves moving out
persia now gets all of iraq as cores when they do irredentism
the ai prioritizes military techs a bit more now
the CSA homestead act now gives a special 10 year modifier to old traditional american land that helps assimilate and bring immigrants there, so that it can get rid of the yankees there a bit easier.

violating swiss neutrality gives italians, french and germans the possibility to get cores on them
wallon is now part of the french culture group so they get proper rebel sprites

scandinavian countries now start the game with the stock exchange and the market structure tech to help them not be as poor early game (especially denmark, who starts with like 8% soldiers in preparation for the schleswig war)
removed the maltese culture, replaced it with part maghrebi part south italian, so that both an arab player and an italian player feel encouraged to take the land, and because it's an arabic language with italian influences. also, one province cultures are stupid, any one province in germany or france has more unique culture than all of malta combined yet they're all ''french'' or ''north german''
japanese rebels now have japanese unit graphics
manchuria now properly has chinese graphic cultures. no idea why this wasn't the case in vanilla

merged ukrainian and byelorussian with russian and north german with south german, because their differences are small and unjustified as being different cultures just messing up piecharts, causing lag and ruining colonial migration. also changed russian internal literacy a bit
war exhaustion reduction in war is now the same as in peace. if you're at war and don't have anything occupied or blockaded, i don't see why it should keep you at 100% WE
baby boom now only happens in states above 100k pops. if you don't have a state above 100k pops... you're out of luck.

added galician-lodomerian core in bielsko because they owned a part of it and for the ergonomy
slowed intra-colonial migration a bit.
all of sub-saharan africa is now just african culture, because nobody cares about the massive lag they produce. also removed a bunch of countries
improved crusade dynamics. now even if you take syria in the first crusade you won't get cucked out of the crusade event for it

boer republic modifier now gives some military bonuses too to help boers fight africans
you can raise less soldiers from colonies now
uncivilized countries can no longer get pops promoting to officers, but get a base leadership bonus that equals having max officers. this is to penalize countries blobbing into uncivs with less officers. this should make uncivs a bit stronger too
beiyang china now has cores on all tibetan land. not sure why they didn't before, some stupid self-immolator probably did this
the ottomanism reform no longer makes you accept arabs. it just helps you assimilate sunni minorities and accepts albanians and bosniaks

krakow now starts with the hungarian revolution and the november uprising generals as a small cheat and cool thing
synthetic oil is now a chemistry tech rather than commerce
