Russian --> Slavonic

[unmerged(15591)]

Reasons why to merge these two cultures:

-They are basically the same, as close as the Finnish and Estonian and Swedish and Danish.
-This would free one culture tag!
-It would then make more sense if the Russians agree to take the greek culture in the event circa 1700 if they would have their fellow culture already in the Balkans.


This has bugged me for a while because They are the same culture, Right?

There is at least one slavonic province in the Balcans that is catholic...
A problem?

Yes 5 or 6 if I recall correctly: Istria, Krain, Dalmatia, Bosnia, Ragusa and Croatia´s capital (can´t remember the name of it)

But it is not a problem, culture and religion won´t conflict, as far as I know.

If you merge Russian and Slavonic, then you'll have to merge all of the other Slavic cultures together with them as well. That would be a very bad thing.

I'm unsure about this. After all, when were the ideas of pan-slavism expressed and became Russian policy (or an excuse for Constantinople, as some suggest) utilised by the Russian rulers? Not at that time. To have Russian culture labeled Slavonic would mean we could label scandinavian culture German. We could just change every culture that is slavic into one, including Poles or Ruthenians under the same excuse, and that would not express the true history. Are there not other culture tags we could take?

Oh well, I'm merely using Golo Mann's argument. If it works well for the game, then I suppose we should use it. If it doesn;'t, then we won't. Try it out and report back.

Then you would also have to merge Helvetian, Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian and Dutch, then merge Iberian, Italian and French.

Iberian + Italian - Ok
Iberian + Italian + French - Nah...

EDIT:

Why not just group all the Slavs like so:

Ruthene + Russian == Eastern Slav
Czech + Slovak + Polish == Western Slav
Present Slavonic == Southern Slav
