Then I notice my government type is Reign of Terror. Oh yeah.

I'm sorry, what?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I really, really enjoy the new elective laws btw. Basically select it every time for maximum fun.

Edit: I just noticed I'm a democratic Kingdom of Terror.

Ahhh, you meant the flavour text. I thought you meant Government Type, like Iqta, Imperial, Republic, Feudal.

By the way, I've noticed quite a lot of the achievements don't proc if you're playing on shattered or random worlds even if they say they're achievement compatible.

Yes, they're disabled. They said as much in the dev diaries. Kinda weird that they didn't put that in the game, not everyone reads those.

It does bring a very 'majority rules' idea to the constituency.
Y'know, as long as it's a democracy.

Also, it would allow for a bundle of genocides and oppressions and whatnot, just not against the dominant niche.

I guess. But it works for me, so whatever.

Riiiiiiight up until it doesn't and everyone else won't help you at all, because of having the same mindset.

Very 'prisoner's dilemma' you got here.

Eh, the Turkish translation of "Constantinople" is "Konstantiniyye," not "Istanbul." It's like saying "New York" is the American translation of New Amsterdam.

One of the more common theories behind the names origin, because honestly we don't actually know, is that it stems from the medieval Greek phrase "To/In The City," "εἰς τὴν Πόλιν," which is pronounced as [is tim ˈbolin]. At any rate, before 1928 it was basically a coin toss which word was used, but the official name was Istanbul after the Turkish Republic... Gave it an official name. Before then, the Ottoman empire used Be Makam-e Qonstantiniyyah al-Mahmiyyah, or "The protected location of Constantinople," and "İstanbul" basically interchangably - they didn't have an official name for it.

After 1928, the Turks settled on İstanbul and promoted it to other countries. It's only really since the Turks took a definitive stance on it that it's become a hot-button topic, because both words were used interchangeably by both Greek and Turkish people before then.

Eh, you look kind of intimidating in a lanky kind of way. You're that kind of look that, depending on your mood, my mood, and the surrounding context, you'd either look like a fun goofball or an intimidating... Person.

Also wow. Finland really went a different way linguistically. "Heim hjem hem ya know?"
"Oh yes, koti."
"Wait what dafuq d'joo say?!"

That implies Finnish started at the same place as the Norse-derived. Finnish is a completely different language - it's roots are closer to Hungarian than Swedish.

The death throes of a giant are particularly painful to watch.

Jesus Christ, it's just Pidgin. It's not the fucking end of the world. It's just another language.

Y'all are actually acting REALLY racist about this too.
