More Accurate Counts & Dukes

Updated to include the Holy Roman Empire

This mod changes the de jure titles to more accurately capture feudal realities and to promote more historical outcomes. No longer will the 'duke' of Champagne, among others, receive a bunch of counties and bishoprics, some of which would later go on to attain peerage, for free right after game start. No longer will duchies be ten times bigger than they ever historically were. No longer will historical counties such as Flanders, Toulouse, and Champagne be called duchies. And no longer will you have to suffer terrible barony-county placement which mangle internal borders even on the start date.

What this mod does, exactly, is add multiple new 'duchies' for counties that, despite historically remaining under the king for a long amount of time, in vanilla get given away by their lieges to other vassals. This is simply not how feudal society works. First of all, by and large, feudal titles were not matroyshka dolls that neatly fit inside each other. And secondly, a count that has the king as his liege, gets 'demoted', so to speak, if his liege is suddenly replaced by a duke. That's why the AI's tendency to place all counts under a duke is nonsensical and a betrayal of feudal trust. Following this, some counties that, due to their importance and power, were named as duchies in vanilla CK3, now have their proper designation; this is simply a name change, nothing else.

It also changes the historical setup of 1066 where drastically needed to be more accurate.

Feel free to let me know of any incompatibilities with other mods.
