I've seen a good number of people raise issue with the pie charts, specifically about not being able to see your primary culture when there are other cultures in the same group present in the province/territory.

Obviously, we can't make every every culture have its own color (Too many shades of one color would be too difficult to differentiate), so I want to propose a few different suggestions for the visual.

These are different options, not meant to be implemented at the same time.
1. Make your primary culture appear as a separate color. Perhaps white or black, or potentially 1 different shade for each culture group.
2. Make your primary culture appear more bold on the pie chart. Imagine the bar being a little thicker for your primary.
3. Simply display the percentage of your primary culture somewhere that's visible. This might be difficult given the limited space, and someone might point out that you could display the number next to the name of the culture in the screenshot in the dev diary today, but that is displaying the dominant culture, not your primary, so putting a percentage next to that would be a bit unintuitive or misleading.

A final issue I want to address is that you might want to see the % of all integrated pops, which is another challenge. Personally I think suggestion 2 would work best for this, but I wanted to put out other options.

Edit: Wrote 'their' instead of 'there' and I am deeply ashamed.

My suggestion on DD102:
Turn the pies into buttons that cycle the "mode", and that sticks between menus.
Culture: Icon+Outer Pie -> Filled Pie (maybe translucent over the icon if it isn't disgusting) -> Integrated % + Outer Pie -> Primary % + Outer Pie
Religion: Icon+Outer Pie -> Filled Pie -> Own Religion % + Outer Pie
Class: Icon+Outer Pie -> Filled Pie -> Citizen %? -> Draftable %?
I'd add that it would be nice for a held click/right click on the pie charts to pop out the options to change it rather than cycle through. Actually, have that as the only option, then a left click can be used to switch to the Culture/Religion menu as appropriate from the nation tabs, and switch to the appropriate map mode from the province view
