Stereotypically Accurate Cultural Obsessions

Victoria 3 added a quite cool feature – Cultural Obsessions. They are cultural fascinations with certain goods a culture is obsessed with, making the consumption and demand for such good have a double weight.

And only 13 cultures have such obsessions, whilist gaining new ones is quite rare and subject to a bazilion of math, waiting, events and alike. Not only that, but it mostly lacks the ‘meme-y’ part of it. This is why, I created this mod.

It adds quite a lot of stereotypical, almost 100, cultural obsession for various cultures – ranging from the Japanese, American to European.
