Far Eastern Cultures & Religions for CK3

Originally, this mod started off as exactly what it is called, as of now - *"Far Eastern Cultures & Religions for CK3"*. It added certain Far-Eastern cultures into the game (namely Japanese), originally intended to be nothing more than a dependency of a personal mod of mine called *"LulzMod" (a mod that simple adds me, my personal friends - some of whom are Japanese - and some joke stuff into CK3. It was before the ruler designer!)*. As time went on, the scope of the mod expanded. I started adding in dead religions that obviously weren't Far-Eastern (Basque, Egyptian, Mithraism, Etruscan, Ashurism, Canaanite, etc.), I brought back the Jewish courtiers from CK2, added ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, started adding new Christian denominations, new religious doctrines, sacred language doctrines, new traditions, etc. I also took the liberty to re-implement features of mods that I loved but stopped being updated, such as the pet preferences mod.

**All in all:**

* New offmap Far-Eastern Cultures, such as Japanese, Ainu, Korean, Vietnamese, Cantonese, Thai, Khmer, Malay, Batak, Cham and Javanese
* New Chinese clothes *(taken from a mod that stopped being updated with the permission of the author, [痕](https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/profiles/76561198211411909))* for Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese cultures
* Dead religions rescurrected: Celtic, Egyptian, Semitic, Mithraic and more!
* Hire Jewish courtiers
* Borrow money from the Jews!
* Hire Romani spymasters, if you live in an apropriate region!
* New regional traditions for East Slavs, Hungarians and Dravidians
* New cultures: Icelandic, Albanian, Crimean Gothic, Arpitan, Moravian, Székely
* Italian is split into Romagnol, Tuscan, Laziale, Umbrian, etc.
* Cultures and religions have authentic localized names, rather than Modern English
* Sacred language doctrines for religions, including Latin for Catholicism
* Expanded religious doctrines: final disposition, afterlife, syncretism,  various tenets turned into doctrines, etc.
* More Christian denominations: start the Protestant Reformation 500 years early, if you wish! Resurrect dead denominations like Ebionitism, Pelagianism or Donatism!

At this point, the name *"Far Eastern Cultures & Religions"* doesn't even do this mod justice! In fact, the focus has shifted so much, that the offmap East Asian cultures - that are only accessible via the Ruler Designer - are merely the icing on the cake, with the mod being more like a general culture and religion overhaul mod.
Maybe a name change is in order?

Sorry not sorry, porn-hating puritans. I won't bother to pick and choose which elements of Carnalitas will I take out. I will simply make Carnalitas a dependency of my mod.
