==Confucianism==

Confucianism changes are focused on making Missionaries , Missionary strength in confucianism countries more useful. Making the harmony system more immersive , you can tolerate them or convert them and take their knowledge to perfect you own religion.

1. Harmonization : every owned province with harmonized religion will be convert to confucianism, will also affect newly gained provinces no matter how you get them.

6. Confucianism Reformation Missions.

This mod is focusing on creating a Chinese empire system, make the celestial empire a complete empire who has emperor, dukes, princes, local estates and more detailed different relation between empire members accroding to their member types. Make Chinese Empire more than just an interface.

Chinese empire will be a complete empire lile HRE, has emperor and different type of members who are all emperor’s subject but have different obligations to the empire. Maybe we can call this HCE.
Tributary states will be more lile small countries outside the empire paying the emperor for protection,will not be count as true empire member and won’t count for empire borders.

Other new type membera will be counted as empire member and their lands will be considered as the land of empire. Will offer different support to the empire. When the empeor is weak, the disasters and revolts will not create new Chinese independent countries or remove the Chinese empire ,those newly released countries will still be in the empire and will remain as emperor’s subjects. But they will get really high liberty desire, will be able to fight against each other and finally claim the emperor’s seat for themselves when they are strong enough. When new emperor appears , all empire member will follow the new emperor, including the former emperor. The empire is eternal like HRE, but the emperor is replacable if his or her rulership collapse.

If you have any advice or bug reports just @ me in the comment area, I’ll fix them as soon as possible. Your support will make this a better mod.
