Just look up Countries.txt to get the latest total list of ID conversions, just use this thread to post additions. It is unnecessary to keep the full list here as it quickly gets obsolete.

Isn't Bukhara also a country in Vivtoria? At least I saw it on the map. That's one country less to think about :D
 
Myanmar is, AFAIK, just another name for Burma.
 
Lord Asharak said:

Yes Indeed. I think they have switched back from Burma to the Myanmar name again in the past years.
 
And: isn't Cornwall more "celtic"? Perhaps it should be given to Ireland? Aragon should, IMHO, go to Catalunya, no?
 
RAG Ragusa MON Montenegro

these two aren't the same, dubrovnik(ragusa) was a croatian city-state and montenegro was a montenegrin kingdom.
 
my suggestion:
1. FRC Franconia and THU Würzburg to COB Saxe-Coburg-Gotha

Coburg is a town in franconia, so not 100% right but in my view better than merge them to SGF (when they survive the eu2-timeframe they should stay independent IMO)

2. SWA Swabia to WUR Württemberg

Swabia is nowadays a part of Württemberg, and again i wouldn't like to see a sgf or ngf at the result of the conversion.

3. MAG Magdeburg to WEI Saxe-Weimar

not quite right, but the same region.

4. MAI Mainz to NAS Nassau

Mainz lies at the opposite side of the main-river, next to Wiesbaden the capital of Nassau in the 19th century

5. your suggestion: BRA to PRU, i would prefer to let stay BRA independent (there is an already an event in eu2 for converting them to PRU, so imo no need to do it with the eu2vic converter, an semi-optimal-alternative could be BRA to ANH)

There was the suggestion that all remaining german minors should merge under ngf or sgf. I am against this suggestion, because the sgf/ngf were more alliances than countrys/nations. but only my 2cents :)

I hope I understood your procedure of tag and province conversion right.
 
another possibility to find a tag for POM.

EU2 VIC
MEC Mecklenb.to LUB Lübeck (iirc, the eu2 capital of MEC was Lübeck)
POM Pommern to MEC Mecklenburg (today there is a Mecklenb-Vorpommern)
STT Stettin to DZG Danzig

not quite happy, but.....
 
Myanmar is, AFAIK, just another name for Burma

Ok, wil change it.

And: isn't Cornwall more "celtic"? Perhaps it should be given to Ireland? Aragon should, IMHO, go to Catalunya, no?

I Cornwall was assigned to England as it is within Englands teritory at 1836.
Similar reasons for Aragon but it could indeed go to Catalunya.

RAG Ragusa MON Montenegro

these two aren't the same, dubrovnik(ragusa) was a croatian city-state and montenegro was a montenegrin kingdom.

RAG = MON due to geographic reasons.

1. FRC Franconia and THU Würzburg to COB Saxe-Coburg-Gotha

Coburg is a town in franconia, so not 100% right but in my view better than merge them to SGF (when they survive the eu2-timeframe they should stay independent IMO)

2. SWA Swabia to WUR Württemberg

Swabia is nowadays a part of Württemberg, and again i wouldn't like to see a sgf or ngf at the result of the conversion.

3. MAG Magdeburg to WEI Saxe-Weimar

not quite right, but the same region.

4. MAI Mainz to NAS Nassau

Thanks for the suggestions, it is difficult to decide what to do with Germany.
1,2,4 are good.
3. I put magdeburg under PRU as I thought PRU (and BRA before that) held magdeburg for a long period of time.
5. Brandenburg can turn into Prussia by event but it is rare to happen if there is no human involvment. As most people known with EU2 see brandenburg and prussia as similar countries I think they are best merged.

another possibility to find a tag for POM.

EU2 VIC
MEC Mecklenb.to LUB Lübeck (iirc, the eu2 capital of MEC was Lübeck)
POM Pommern to MEC Mecklenburg (today there is a Mecklenb-Vorpommern)
STT Stettin to DZG Danzig

not quite happy, but....

MEC = MEC will stay as they have the same name
 
Maybe Aragon, Valencia, Mallorca and Balearic could be Catalonia. Catalonia represents in Victoria the Kingdom of Aragon.
Navarra better to Spain not to France.
 
Gukan said:

Ok changed that. Isn't one of Balearic and Mallorca a muslim country?

I thought Navarra was a French county? One of Navarra's rulers get's to the throne of France iirc (Henry V?). I'd like more input on this :)
 
I propose the following sequence of importance for TAG conversion.

  1. EU2 country name is the same or similar to the Victoria country name.
  2. A EU2 country which is historical the same as a Victoria country but with a different name.
  3. The geographical location of the EU2 country and the VIC country is the same.
  4. Otherwise it falls to the country that historically owned that area in 1836.

Comining this and the comments of Eric Lasalle I propose the following for Germany.

Code:
#Countries with the same name
EU2 country			VIC country
ANH	Anhalt			ANH	Anhalt
BAD	Baden			BAD	Baden
BAY	Bavaria			BAY	Bavaria
BRE	Bremen			BRE	Bremen
HAN	Hannover		HAN	Hannover
HES	Hessen			HED	Hesse-Darmstadt
MEC	Mecklenburg		MEC	Mecklenburg
OLD	Oldenburg		OLD	Oldenburg
PRU	Prussia			PRU	Prussia
SAC	Saxony			SAX	Saxony
SHL	Holstein		HLS	Holstein
WUR	Wurtemberg		WUR	Württemberg

#Countries in roughly the same geographical area
EU2 country			VIC country
ANH	Anhalt			ANH	Anhalt
MAG	Magdeburg		WEI	Saxe-Weimar
MAI	Mainz			NAS	Nassau
PFA	The Palatinat		FRM	Frankfurt am Main
POM	Pommern			DZG	Danzig
STT	Stettin			DZG	Danzig
THU	Würzburg		COB	Saxe-Coburg-Gotha

#Countries that have no historical or geographical equivalent
EU2 country		Mother country
ALT	Altmark		PRU		
BRA	Brandenburg	PRU		
KLE	Kleves		PRU		
KOL	Cologne		PRU		
KUS	Kustrin		PRU	
LOR	Lorraine	FRA	#FRA owned it in 1836 but it is a HRE minor, maybe it should be converted to a german tag like PRU
MUN	Münster		PRU		
SIL	Silesia		PRU		
STR	Strassburg	FRA	#FRA owned it in 1836 but it is a HRE minor, maybe it should be converted to a german tag like PRU


#This leaves us the following Victoria German minor tags to play around with:
BRA	Braunschweig
HAM	Hamburg
HEK	Hesse-Kassel
LIP	Lippe-Detmold
LUB	Lübeck
MEI	Saxe-Meiningen
NGF	North German Fed
SCH	Schleswig
SGF	South German Fed

Any suggestions?

Navarra is norteastern Spain... part of the Basque country if I recall correctly
 
But isn't Navarra just the kingdom of the Bascs? While they live in both Spain and France today, I think they're really more affiliated with the Spanish...
