Quoting this incase it was looked over. <.<;Anyone kind enough to give me a large version ofthe base map you're using?

That map hugely exaggerates Portugals african colonies. All the had were a few trading enclaves in a few places along the coast.Well, I'm not sure when they lost their other African territories, but here's a map of the Portuguese Empire in the sixteenth century.

1. We just hadn't gotten around to Genoa..You forgot Genoa... (which included Corsica at this point.)
Sign me up for research, if you like, since my main interest in history is around this era...
Map with Genoa in hot pink (used last PNG map...):
P.S. Most of Ottoman Africa should be vassals too (Egypt, Tunisia and Algeria, anyway. I think *Libya was a vassal too at this point.)
P.P.S - something should be done about the Kingdom of Kandy in Sri Lanka...

2. Hurrah!
3. You are correct about Tripoli.
4. Most certainly.
Victoria has Satellites and Dominions as the vassal analogue. Satellites are in a defensive alliance with the Master, while Dominions are in a full alliance with the Master, but otherwise they are the same (except that Dominions have a better title, of course, but that's obvious).I take it that Victoria has vassal capability. (I've not played it, but would like to in the future...)
Also, there should be some sort of system for a Holy Roman Empire... (Can that be done? How does Victoria deal with the German Confederation? )

Victoria deals with the Confederation by having the German states be in defensive alliances with eachother, and, primarily, by events.
Well, that's how it's done for the personal unions that are in Victoria (IE, Hanover and the UK).Ok... if we have personal unions with the lesser (as in less powerful or whatever) as a "dominion" of the more powerful state (is there a way to customise the full official title of a state in Victoria?) then that would be workable...

I don't think you can change the full official title of a state: they are either uncivilized (which trumps all others in showing on anything but the full diplomatic screen, except possibly Great Power), Great Power (which trumps Dominons of an Empire [the full title on screen of Dominions], Satellite state and maybe uncivilized, but those states almost never become Great Powers, so it's hard to know), or, hmm, I'm not certain what the 'standard' title is...
In any case, it can't be changed, as far as I know.
Names of states can't be changed without changing the TAG (and thus, technically, the country), but for most states, that's not a problem. They get marked as 'democracy' (meaning a democratic republic) in the government section, and they change the flag (or not, depending on how).Actually, I meant something like: Kingdom of XYZ becoming the Republic of XYZ...
Does anything like that happen?
If not, then there is no problem...

Basically, France (in the ordinary game), isn't the Kingdom of France, but France, with Constitutional Monarchy as the system of governace. Since flags can be changed by command, France, for example, could be handled by a command transforming them into a Presidential Dictatorship (non-democratic, non-Communist Republics), and changing the flag to the tricolour.
