This sounds like Empire Total War setup for Europe and North America.

As a compromise, can we name them all in English names like 'North-east Poland', 'South Poland', 'South Central Poland' etc?
We need to streamline the Religious system. The current one makes no sence.
Each should have it`s own, religin specific unit, determine how you call your neighbours, and allow you multiple wives. Who came up with this "tax, P.E. T.e, missionary chance" nonsence?
So, catholics should get an inquisitor squad. Improves the morale of other units in battle, but increases attrition.
Protestants should get you mormon cavalry. It is cheap, but decreases fertility rate in the province where it is positioned.After all, all protestants are hiden mormons.
REformed should get you French merceneries. +20% retreat speed to entire army. +30% if the province ahead produces wine.
Ortodox should get you bear calalry. +50% morale damage.
Muslims should get a special unit, harem regiment. These are your wifes, carrying granades, and suicide charges to lit them on. Morale damage +100%, dies after 1st round. After all, women should be at least somewhat usefull for muslims.
Buddist should get a warior monk. It is a 1 man unit that never dies, can not be defeated, so you have to win the war before it destroys all of your army.
Animist and shamanists should get a naked women infantry. Enemy can not damage these units during the fire phase.
I think it will bring a lot of historicity and cultural diversty that EU3 severely lacks.

I love the naked women infantry idea. However, it will be for nothing if it will be not shown in the screen.
Absolutely not! The censors would kill us for that! Fox would skewer Paradox's platypus and roast it on the media fire. No, instead the women must have skimpy little bikinis or little bits of metal. That makes it all better, we all know that it's only the very end of the boobies which are sexual.
I couldn't stop laughing at these.Maybe french mercenaries should also give a 100% chance to retreat from a battle?
1. I think the new game should limit itself to the GC. Nobody plays anything else anyway, now does anybody? Later starts can be offered as DLC.
2. It should start 1500, and go to 1740. That's the time-frame the game can represent best, anyway. Potential for add-ons:
- Frederic the Great's ambition: gameplay extended to 1781.
- Age of Venice: 1453 game start.
From there, just do the EUIII drill.
3. Keep it simple in the beginning. Generic Soldiers. Potential for DLC:
- French Pikeman
- French Arquebusier
- French Ship
- French Louis XIV-era Soldier
- French Revolutionary Soldier
- Several DLCs dealing with French cavalry from different epochs
- same treatment of English, Dutch and all the other countries
You could also offer a generic muslim soldier DLC for those who don't want to separately buy Ottoman, Mameluke, Persian, Mughal and Usbek sets.
4. Keep it simple with country flags and CoAs. From the box, England would just have a red flag, France a blue. The different flags can then be bought as DLCs.
5. Generic leaders, and monarchs, so no game is ever the same! Boring people can of course buy Gustav Adolph, Turenne, Magellan etc. DLCs. Or the "Spanish monarchs" DLC if they insist on having historical monarchs.

Better still Paradox should just sell the .exe file as the full price product and have all the other files as 'micro DLCs'. It's efficient and really works with the current trend for micropurchases and such. Plus, having a brok- sorry, 'functionality-limited' product in the box will encourage DLC purchases.
Since the so-called "Holy Roman Empire" was neither holy nor Roman, we should avoid confusing western audiences and just call the nation "Germany", with full 2012 borders. All the Arab nations can be represented as "Iran", and you get extra perks for killing them because they are evil, like in 300. This name can randomly alternate to "Iraq" from save load to save load. The United Kingdom, or whatever its called, will now be "England" for simplicity's sake. Brand new decision: "England Rules the waves!"
The United States should be formed already in the Grand Campaign, so that western audiences will have something with which they're familiar. To appeal to Canadian and Australian fans, Canada and Australia will now be moved to Europe. Play as any historical president from the Republican party!
To save room for American dialect based cultures, the Balkans and Anatolia will now have two cultures throughout "North Balkan" and "South Balkan".
Developer Diaries will now be explained as developers play Happy Wheels and Amnesia.

Microsoft is already doing that with the new Xbox, I hear.

Yeah, good idea. To all intents and purposes the USA existed from 1492 onwards, and Paradox is minimising their possible American audience by having it exist only after 1776. The US can be extended further by having an independent USA in the Columbus family's home town from the start date on until the voyage.
Have a Latino-American faction in Italy and a Founding Fathers faction in England?

EU3 lacks an automatic building function like they have in other similar games, so after a while you start having a micro managing fest with your nation because you have more than 50+ provinces. So if there is an automatic building function for buildings, units and effectively dealing with rebels then I have no problem with it otherwise I agree with you having less provinces.
I do think the game could be a lot more like Star Ruler. Make it so I can increase to 10,000 randomly generated provinces. And I want to build the Death Star out of Anhalt.
Yeah, just click "start" button and the game will run without you just fully automated till the final date.
How about an automated Grand Campaign with RTS player-controlled battles. With Korean as the default language and lots of easter eggs and references to other Paradox games.
WE can hunt, and exterminate those before release.
What is the fun in that? It is too boring, and you can see those on the beach for free.
Habsburg -emperor Palpatin,
Prussia-Dart Vader.
Silesia-Princes Leia,
...
That is already done in HOI3, stop being lazy and just copying old features!
