Some rework of greek-anatolian regions

So, there has been some talk about adding more provices in greece, split the culture into more groups, and make some anatolian provinces greek in culture. Hpefully When I get home in August I will make a mod to sow these thought but sitting on a hostel in Romania makes it a bit harder. But the process in three steps There has already been a couple of suggestion in which provinces which needs to be added. Especially to split Epirus in a new province which should also be an indepedet Epirus. I think this is essential for historical accuracy. The despotate of Epirs\us was at this poit in time in a PU with a sicilian/greek county in the ionian islands https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_palatine_of_Cephalonia_and_Zakynthos I don't think the ame need to represent this as two different states but I thik adding epirus as a two province state is reasonable. A lot about the negative feedback on more greek states has been that it'll slow down turkish expansion. To begin with I don't think turkey expand fast enouh It's ot as strong as it was in reality so i\giving more provinces to turkey and increasing their development and giving them more easy provinces to conquer I think is good, but should also be made sure that minor state doesn't slow hem down (give cores on all these provinces?). For culture there's been some talk about splitting greek. I think this is reasonable, first of I dislike the byzantine culture groups internal structure by having pontic and greek as different groups adding up pontic (it's like making a group consisting of german and saxon and czech). So I think renaming greek to demotic is a good idea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_Greek) but to further split it would be reasonable. There's been some suggestion to split it in for example morean and epirote groups, I think they are good suggestions, but the most relevant split, is to split up the latin ruled greeks into their own group. A lot of people have been suggesting a cypriot group but I think something like an aegean culture would be in place, represented on the aegean islands, crete and cyprus (cyprus as the primary tag) I would then think that most of the aatolian coast provinces should have demotic culture. I kow this was partly changed to prevent provinces from rebellig and oing byzantine. My suggestion as a solution to this would be to make greece the primary tag of Demotic and make the primary culture of byzantion Kattharevousa or Roman. This thus represning the anciet artificial culture of the byzatine empire in contrast to demotic in the main provinces. Only Constantinople would have this culture and thus it will die out when the turks conquer. Possible pontic should also get more provinces along the norhern coast and possibility to add cappadocian in Kayseri (or at least change the religion to orthodox considering the high number of orthodox christians and karamanli christian turks)

Cephalonia & Zakhynthos is as far as ive been able to deduce what our Corfu tag actually is in 1444 (look at the ruler names and the tag letters) though it was added before my time.

Can't comment much on the rest, just popping in to say I keep an eye on all map related discussions
