Culture

From EU3 Wiki

The concept of culture as implemented in EU3 is a gameplay factor designed to affect expansion. In the game, cultures are divided into groups. Each province has one dominant culture, and each country has one primary culture and possibly one or more accepted cultures.

It is worth noting that culture and culture groups are not tied to language.

[edit] Culture groups

As mentioned above, all cultures are grouped into culture groups. As an example, the Scandinavian group consists of Danish, Norwegian and Swedish. As defined in Cultures.txt:

scandinavian = {
    swedish
    danish
    norwegian
} 

[edit] Primary culture

All countries have one, and only one, primary culture. Provinces with this culture have no tax income penalties from culture. Provinces from another culture within the same group has a 10% tax income penalty.

[edit] Accepted culture

If a culture becomes a significant minority within a country, they can gain the status as accepted culture. The criteria for "significant minority" is that it represents 20% or more of the base tax value in all your core provinces (not just the ones you own) and that you own at least one core of that culture. As of v.1.3, a culture loses it's accepted status if it drops below 5%. These percentages can be changed in defines.txt.

Provinces of an accepted culture have, like primary culture provinces, no income penalties from culture. Provinces with a culture that isn't in the primary culture's group or an accepted culture has a 30% tax income penalty.
