Every Chinese Culture Can Actually Form China

Don't you think it's pretty funny that even though Lanfang and Yue has cultures that have the Han Chinese heritage trait, they can't actually form China since only 'Han and Manchu' countries can do it?


wat?

Kinda ridiculous, right?

To alleviate this issue this mod adds a Journal Entry as a parallel method to form China once China no longer exist. This is so that nations which logically should be able to form it -but is arbitrarily blocked due to not having the super specific 'Han or Manchu as Primary Cultures'- can actually reform China (some Chinese warlord states has a CB to unify China but can't form China for crying out loud!).
Said Journal Entry will also allow a select few outsiders to lay claim to the Dragon Throne.


Which cultures can form China depends on the game rule selected:

China Default
Han, Manchu, every culture with Han Chinese heritage (ie. Hakka, Min, Yue), Yi, Zhuang, Miao

East Asian Sphere
All of the above plus cultures with Sinosphere heritage (ie. Vietnamese), Korean, Japanese

Many Races Under One Union
All of the above plus Mongol, Uighur, Tuvan, and Tibetan

EVERYONE
Every culture can form China. May break saves. You have been warned.

(ps. this allows you to continue onwards to form a Hegemony tier country if you have the appropriate culture. Best used with Formables Inherit All Primary Cultures)


Neither holy, nor Roman, or even European


Note: Due to the nature of Journal Entries, once it is completed or removed it usually won't be re-fired for the same tag. Hence, if China is destroyed for a second time in a playthrough you can reform China through a decision in the Decisions tab.

This Journal Entry will also only appear once China no longer exists.



The mod doesn't touch any vanilla files, so it should be fine to use with ambitious mods such as the Victorian Flavor Mod or Divergences.
Of course, it is not recommended for very big Total Conversion mods that removes the vanilla cultures.

You don't have to wait for this mod to update for every Vicky 3 patch, as again no vanilla files are used.


It should be fine to add mid-playthrough, unless you're intending to form China as an outsider, like say Joseon.

In that case, before you boot up your save with this mod for the first time you would need to modify which game rule the mod considers as 'default'.

So head over to and under the Change the default string (the first line of code at the top) to whichever of the four game rule settings you prefer.
