Hello! In today's dev diary, I saw that Slovene culture and a Cilli tag were being added. This is fantastic, and i'm glad it's being done.

Their addition has got me thinking. I feel like Slovene should get a formable nation, as it would be a good goal to work towards as Cilli. A new tag symbolizes your tiny feudal county transitioning into an early modern state.

One problem with this addition is that Slovenia conceptually didn't exist yet. It was a product of the romantic nationalism of the 19th century.

The best replacement Slovenia would probably be Carniola. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carniola)

The other option would be Carinthia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carinthia) , however that's more of an Austrian thing.

The requirements for formation would be:
  • ADM Tech 10
  • Not at war
  • Not a vassal or tributary
  • Not nomadic
  • And owns Celje, Krain, Görz, and Istria as core provinces.
I've toyed around with the idea of adding Trieste as a required province, but seeing how Trieste is neither in the modern nation of Slovenia or the historical region of Carniola, i've decided against it.

If there is interest in this idea, I will make a national idea set.

Thanks for reading!

I'm not so sure it's necessary to make a formable when you would only need to conquer about three more provinces to form it. But I hope you won't be too disappointed at being stuck with Cilli - if you can manage to survive long enough, they have a pretty cool NI set :)

Can we hope that Serbia/Bosnia and the new Herzegovina tag can get cool new idea sets also as a reward for surviving :D?
Current ones are a bit underwhelming (they weren't bad when they were introduced back in 2013) and those proposed in Serbia and Friends post which you used for map reworks are even worse. *no offense to the person that had an idea for those changes, but ihmo the modifiers listed in that proposal give even less than original NI set.
 
In terms of bonuses, they look fine to me. Cilli's are not super powerful either, rather they have quite an interesting set that will be useful for certain play styles, just to be clear.
 
yeah that’s understandable. i’ll try to think up larger regional and cultural formables
