Vic 2 is clearly implying some nations are better than other because they are less ignorant, that is problematic nowadays sweety.

Vic2 was glazing western nations.
Vic3 is more realistic.

Westernization is such a good concept in this game. The nations that are "uncivilized" do not have any of the prior institutions to make the basic pillars of a modern society of that time. Uncivilized is not a good term since it incorporates both tribal africa (which would be correct on its own) but also japan, china, siam, ect. The actual mechanic itself though represents their progress towards being able to even start progressing as a modern nation.

Is there any downside to letting GB, France etc. invest in my country? Seems like an easy way to build up your GDP.

Victoria 3 is to strategy games what sissy hypno is to sleep. It's a psyop designed to destroy the minds of white men.

lol memegame2 buffoons be like
>in the year 1836, nestled between the marshy bogs of brandenburg and the potato fields of poznań, a forgotten people stirred. the snerbs of cootbus, long mocked by german officials for speaking in suspiciously bird-like consonant clusters, decided it was time to reassert their ancient glory. led by the charismatic poet-statesman vladko błźźć, they proclaimed the free wendish republic of lusato-gorska. their national focus was immediately set to encourage intellectuals, despite having a literacy rate of 4% and half the population thinking books were a prussian trick.
>while the prussians laughed, the snerbs quietly began mobilizing. tuchel's kooshbeans sent grain and ink (grain becomes a +1% pop growth modifier in cootbus), while the coastal kosliners of kolbork trained a ragtag navy composed entirely of fishing boats and angry grandmothers (irregulars with naval transport tech 0). with militancy rising from constant german assimilation policies (+0.05 militancy/month for non-accepted culture), consciousness hit 8.5 and a liberal revolution event chain fired.
>when the revolts of 1848 erupted, the wends launched operation harsh whisper, a lightning-fast raid on a poorly defended postal depot in berlin. using their single artillery unit and four brigades of farmer rebels with -30% organization penalty, they managed to occupy a single state before attrition kicked in. still, the ai prussia, distracted by a danish incursion into schleswig, accepted the white peace. miraculously, the treaty of snerbawitz was signed: the snerbs gained semi-autonomy (prussia loses core on cootbus), control of their alphabet and exclusive rights to export pickled cabbage (local cootbus RGOs shift to fruit and grain, +20% export value).
> by 1865, the snerbs had two techs researched, a literacy rate of 9%, and one diplomat stuck in naples. glorious.
