European Union

Description
If you're tired of restoring the Roman Empire over and over again, this may be the mod you're looking for: create the European Union and expand its de jure territory following the evolution of the EU itself.

Form the European Union
Reshape the de jure map:
  • Create the EU while controlling the 6 founding nations: Italy, France, Germany and the BeNeLux. If you have the Road to Power DLC, your government type will become Administrative
  • Expand the EU, conquering Portugal, Spain, Ireland, the UK, Danemark, and Greece
  • Make it grow even more, conquering Austria. Slovenia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Sweden, Finland, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and Cyprus
  • Take the EU to its maximum extent, incorporating Romania, Bulgaria, and Croatia
  • Complete the expansion, incorporating Switzerland, the Balkans, Moldavia, Ukraine, Belarus, Norway, and Iceland (thank to Xherdos for the suggestion)

Rise of Nationalism
New decisions inspired by the last millennium of history:
  • As Greece, realize the Megali Idea
  • As Italy, achieve the 20th century's Italian dreams in Dalmatia
  • As Denmark, Sweden or Norway, form the Kalmar Union
  • As Spain or Portugal, achieve the Iberian Union
  • As Ireland, reunite the island under one kingdom
  • As the UK, obtain the indipendence and leave the EU, achieving Brexit
  • As Austria, achieve independence and form the Austrian Empire
  • As Germany, restore the great German Empire (WIP)
  • As Poland or Lithuania, form the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (WIP)
  • In the Balcans, form the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (WIP)
To take some of these decisions, a certain level of progress in the EU must have been achieved.

Culture
A new European culture is now available and can be embraced through a minor decision, in exchange for a little bit of prestige! Just for my amusement, I've also added a new court language, Esperanto, as the language for the new culture.

In addition, as suggested in the comments, I've added some decisions to return the de jure kingdoms of the first two EU expansions wave to the people's culture, raising the kingdom capital holder to king rank, in exchange for an increase of 40 cultural acceptance with their culture.

Let me know

Hi everyone,

I think I've fixed the decisions, now being compatible with the new game releases. If I missed something, please, let me know.

On top, now, if you have RtP DLC, when creating the EU, the government type will change to Admin.

I'm currently without a pc, but I'll try to fix it as soon as I get a new one!

If someone wants to help me in the maintenance of this mod, feel free to contact me!

The mod doesn't see to function very well with the new Administrative Governement (which actually might technically reflect the EU better, though it kind of kills the whole "emperor of Europe") thing

Not tried the mod myself, but if you actually want some Esperanto phrases I can help out with that.

Hi everyone, a new version is up! I've implemented some changes, of which, some came from the comments. I hope you enjoy them. For more info, please look at the release notes :steamhappy:

I'm intrigued by the European culture, I'll probably work on it during the weekend!

I've tried to follow EU's historical evolution, although I merged some expansions into just one decision: that's why Britain has no part in the formation of EU: it wasn't among the founders. However, if you control Britain and then you conquer the proper region, you still be able to create the EU... With this mechanic, you could technically formate the EU even as Mongolia

I'd be more interested in creating it AS Britain...

While the Culture would be indeed a nice idea, the Government Type should stick with Monarchy since you are playing a Ruler not a President/Prime Minister

Also being able to create an amaglgumated "European Culture" after creating the EU at its greatest extent and holding it for a while could be super cool.

Should have the (modern) European portions of Russia and Turkey as well as options along the way as well. Also the ability to change the name via decision depending on the government type would be cool (European Empire if monarchical, either sticking with European Union or going with European Federation if a Republic, European Theocracy if Theocratic, perhaps Holy European Empire if monarchical with a monarch is also head of the faith, perhaps European Caliphate if you're monarch is also Muslim on top of that for some reason, etc.
