Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
In realms following a reformed pagan religion with the religious doctrine 'eniatic clans', men are totally stripped of religious and secular power. However, the special decision 'found merchant republic' still requires a male leader. This means that (necessarily female) followers of such a religion can't form merchant republics at all!

This seems like an oversight, not an intentional mechanic. Am I wrong?

Steps to reproduce the issue.
Play as a tribal ruler following a reformed pagan religion with the doctrine eniatic clans.

You can found the MR with a male leader and enatic clans. I try that, it works.
But it can't work when you have a female leader. Or as the MR to reform the pagan with enatic clans.

As opposed to the other DLC, most of the MR mechanics are hardcoded and thus difficult to impossible to change
