So we have to work within this limitations. For example. the southern provinces in Spain didn't have an arabic majority, but Paradox thought its presence was strong enough to warrant giving those culture to the provinces, for gameplay's sake. And for example, there was that Magyar zone isolated in the easternmost part of Transylvania (Szekels or something like tat) that can't be represented because the province is either full Romanian or full Magyar.
Anyway, I'll investigate your claims, Hungarian friends, the data I have from the pre-turk era is quite fuzzy, you know.
(and I understand you position, every complain about cultures is often seen as nationalistic manipulation here)
I absolutely agree with your 2 observations concerning the cultural settings. You mentioned the example of Spain. I think it is the best example for "our side" who wants corrections. Paradox had to accept due to the above mentioned limitations that in some southern Spanish provinces the arab settings are unreal and unhistoric, although the arab minority presence is not questioned. That is why we inisit on the Hungarian culture which I think is at least as much reasonabel and historcally correct as the Spanish one.
