After some thought, I can be alittle more specific about what I want to do, and therefor can be more percise in asking for help and advice.
I want to take the nation of Pergamon and rename it the IRISH REPUBLIC. I then want to move it to Irish island, with its capitol in Eblana. I then want to give the province of Pergamon to PONTUS. Then with the new IRish Republic I hope to make its culture and religion the same as rome as I hope that through playing it I can rival rome. Finally I want to have the characters appear roman/greek in other words I do not my people to have painted faces, beards or long hair.
I hope someone can talk me through this process - I really want to do this myself as once I do something myself with help from others, I can quickly get the hang of it and should not require this level of help and assistance next time.
Thank you.

Sounds fairly simple.
Not sure if this is the order you asked things in but anyway:
1. I assume we're talking first of all just 474 (the basic start date) history here. So goto the history/provinces folder, and find pergamons sole which is #156 province (can't remember its name atm). In the 474 entry add owner = PON. Just a space and then that between the {}.
2. Find the number/name of the Irish province you want them to have and add owner = PER in similar fashion.
3. You didn't actually ask this specifically but goto common/countries pergamon.txt and change graphical culture = greekfx to romanfx. This will change some cosmetic stuff, like what unit the armies look like on the map. On second thoughts, I think this is in charge of what faces people have, so maybe you did.
4. In history/countries pergamon.txt change
technology_group = greek_tech
primary_culture = greek
religion = greek_pantheon
capital = 156 # Pergamon
To
technology_group = roman_tech (since all technology groups are the same rate, this doesn't actually do anything atm, then again... it may affect events, changing it isn't too hard anyways)
primary_culture = roman
religion = roman_pantheon
capital = *Number and name of that irish province*
5. Goto history/characters. Which faction a character belongs to is determined by the first few starting numbers. 10001 is roman, 15001 is armenian etc... have a look through the files and find out what first few numbers are for the kingdom of pergamon, goto those characters files and change their religion/culture. Note that spawned characters are allways the primary religion/culture.
That should be most everything.
