I noticed that the speed of assimilation is too fast across areas where native people are under the control of a foreign empire. This is especially true for religion, but also for ethnic groups.
Take the Balkans - by 1880, up to 60% of Bulgarians are Sunni. Similarly, 50-60% of Poles are Orthodox by this point.
Ethnic conversion is also a dash too fast. I formed Romania circa 1850, and the share of minorities was 30%. By 1885, without any emigration, this had falled to just 15%. I get that assimilation needs to happen in Europe as well, but it should have a cap and perhaps not exceed 0.5% of an existing population per year or so.
