I recommend editing the save instead of editing the history files, but here you go if you want to edit the files:

history/countries/pic - pictii.txt

swap:
government = military_tribe
for
government = federal_monarchy / despotic_monarchy / aristocratic_monarchy / theocracy
 
It's in /save games folder. Inside the save, look for name="Pictii" to find the entry for the Picts, then scroll down until you see government=military_tribe and edit it there
 
Ok thank you, just one more question what entries in the save file would I change so I can edit my current tech levels?
Find your country by searching for name = "country name", scroll down to the technology section. The first number for each entry is the current level, the second number (with three decimal points) is the actual number of RPs invested in it.

anyone have a clue how to make your own governemt with bonus's u want for modding purposes....
In common\governments.txt, just copy and paste one of the entries, change the name to something unique and change the modifiers to whatever you want. For example:

Code:
awesome_republic = {
	military_ideas = 2
	civic_ideas = 2
	economical_ideas = 2
	religious_ideas = 2
	republic = yes
	
	global_tax_modifier = 1	#+100% tax income
	
	# Years until the same candidate can be re-elected
	election_delay = 10
	
}
Hope that helps.
