Well, I'm not sending stats with the monarch lists, only suggestions on whether a stat should be "high", "low", "very low", etc.

I believe that we should at least have a link with the unstructured data displayed or something. I really don't care if its difficult to read, a simple string search will still help us to determine what is worth looking for. Preferably the data should be split either by country or by category (provinces, events, monarchs, leaders). I'd like to know that my looking for famines and earthquakes in Korea is meaningful.
The best thing would be that a new forum "Resources for EU2" or like should be created with "Sticky" threads on each country (preferably) continent or on each category, because it would take some pressure off Doomdark and Gen. Suvorov when it comes to reading or editing data. Any thread without posts will be obviously meaningful to collect data on. The non-public countries can be put in the beta tester forum.

If only Julius IIIf you check the original EU pope file you'll see quite a few of them with a mil rating of 7. Actually after I read a little bit about some of them, it made me think that the ratings were assigned rather randomly, as a few of the worst ones had high ratings, and one of the good ones was a total crap.
Mil value has nothing to do with if Julius II as a person had good military skills (that is what the leader is for).

That isn't what I meant. I normally take a Mil rating as a possibility a monarch is involved in progress in that field (whatever you want to define it to be). While I can envision some of the Popes being good administrators, I hardly can see them as being good at infusing research in military field, somehow the idea of a Pope designing a new cannon doesn't look right.

We now have complete monarch files for:
Aragon
Austria
Burgundy
Castille
England
France
Scotland
Spain
Poland
Turkey
USA
These will all be in the initial beta (plus the old IGC files.)
Thanks to you folks, we also have the data for most of the new European and Asian nations. That leaves the new African and American nations (quite a challenge), plus the expanded lists for the old minors.
Oh, and don't bother with the Nordic countries; me and Greven have them pretty well covered.![]()

What will be done with Flanders for monarchs as there really weren't any ? A council ?

Do you know a prominent family from Flanders, the Counts of Brügge, or something that would have been a likely dynasty for a free Flanders. This is the approach we take with countries that never existed. Make the dynasties plausible, thus basing it on a likely family. hopefully though not Mainline Habsburg (too boring they already own most provinces on the map).
When come to Eire (Ireland) I choose to use the Tyrone family all the way to Hugh O'Neill and then I changed to the next active and powerful family.

A commercial republic idea like the Netherlands were, seems more plausible to me. Though the Oranje's were quite influential (and then again not at other times, let alone there always being one) at times in the North, de Staten-Generaal should be the actual "monarchs". It was a Republic. I always found the monarch file of the EU1 Holland quite weird, switching from the Oranje's to the Raadspensionaris of Holland like Oldenbarnenvelt to the Staten-Generaal themselves and back again.
If Flanders were to break free, I'd see them go the same way. Esp as the people's power in Flanders was limited to the cities only. The nobility and church did not even have a vote in the representative organ of Flanders, de Staten van Vlaanderen, just the cities of Brugge (u can lose the "¨" btw, sounds so German or is it like that in Swedish too ?), Gent, Ieper en het Brugse vrije, quite unlike the same representative organs in other places. Those cities were called de "Leden van Vlaanderen" (which I'd use as monarch council).
A highly urbanised, commercial area with the cities having the power. Quite unlike Ireland I would guess, quite unique really. More geared towards a commercial Republic than Holland was initially even.
Though obviously some noblemen were very influential, either siding with the count or with the cities or as governor and if u want I can dig a few up (like there were then again very influential city councillors), but I have to argue in favour of this commercial republic idea
Come to think of it, this seems most plausible when breaking free. However, I have to admit, that when, as shown on the screenshot, set free by the monarch (say the duke of Burgundy) I can imagine a nobleman being put in place.
