– Historical province and city names for all provinces
– Provinces and cities get renamed based off of owner culture, for the entire world
– Provinces and city names will update over time at historical dates
– Every province by default is named in its native language, which means…
– No more provinces in the Americas/Africa having European names before colonization
– Option to use translated or native names for some colonial provinces
– Compatible with custom/random nations

This mod replaces the standard dynamic province names with an event-driven feature

Some colonial provinces have an option for whether to use the native name (ex: ‘Massachusetts’ or ‘Jamaica’) or a translated name (ex: ‘Blue Hills’ or ‘Land of Springs’). Historical colonizers only get the option for native names in their area (ex: England can only go with ‘Massachusetts’). AI preferences are slightly in favor of native names (50-40).

When loading a new game there will often be a bit of lag/freezing as the various countries update a whole bunch of provinces at once, but shouldn’t last more than a month or two of in-game time.

if you want to reset the renaming or change your decisions on native name use, there are a couple decisions you can use – but you must first select the decision to Host a Cartographical Conference.
