Hyphenated Cultures

Allows pops of different heritages to gain the cultural traits of your primary culture by converting to hyphenated cultures (pops that share the original culture heritage but gain the country’s primary culture non-heritage trait).

Pops of a different heritage have a chance each half year to convert to a culture with a language in the same group as your primary culture. These new cultures all have a new tradition trait – Hyphenated.

• Pop does not share a non-heritage trait and does not have the Hyphenated or Israelite traditons
• Pop does not have Jewish religion
• Pop has standard of living above 5
• Pop radical fraction below 25%
• Pop is gainfully employed and is not a slave (the latter use a different mechanism)

( Pop Acceptance ) / 2.5 + ( Fraction of cultures sharing a cultural trait with primary culture ) * 20

Additionally, there are several multipliers that affect the chance:

• +20% if its an homeland of a primary culture.
• -75% if its an homeland of the target pop to assimilate.
• +50% if Promote National Values decree is active.
• +5% if Nationalism is researched.
• +5% if Pan-Nationalism is researched.

( State Population / 100k ) * ( Pop Literacy ) * ( Incorporated State Multiplier )

Incorporated State Multiplier: -90% if unincorporated; otherwise does nothing.

Slave pops not in homelands will assimilate using a different mechanism:

• Cultures with a shared trait with a primary culture have to make up at least 1% of the state’s population
• Pop does not share a non-heritage trait and does not have the Hyphenated or Israelite traditons
• Pop does not have Jewish religion
• Pop has standard of living above 5
• Pop radical fraction below 25%
• Pop is a slave

The chance of slave pops assimilating is based on the percentage of cultures present in the state that share a cultural trait with a primary culture, so slave states that have primary culture majorities should see substantial assimilation.

Additionally, pops with the Hyphenated trait, not in homelands, with a different cultural trait the the country’s primary culture should assimilate pretty fast too (states that are conquered)

Homelands for hyphenated pops might spawn, if that culture meets the same criteria as other primary cultures in the New Homelands mod.
