[1.7] Colonise the World (Phoebe's Revision)

Updated for 1.7!

Entirely based off of https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3157737129 !! Just reworked in a way that was more fun in my own personal opinion.

Pretty much the entire code, aside from some minor text changes and state transfers, were originally created by Jordan Voletic https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/id/JordanVoletic . If you would like to, please support the original mod creator and his work.


How does this mod differ from the original?
-> Some minor states (I.E. Slovenia, Croatia, Ionian Islands) have been merged with their neighbours in order to lower the amount of chaotic colonisation, especially from minor states with barely any influence in the world. IMO, they got a bit in the way.

-> The merging of France and Occitania. It just felt odd, personally, to add another state into the colonial contest.

-> The Holy Roman Empire has been divided between three states: Prussia, Hanover and Bavaria. The existence of an almost entirely formed Germany at the start of the game felt significantly overpowered in comparison to its other European neighbours, especially Prussia. The new states, if I have split them well, should aid to balance out central Europe, and make Prussia a more eligible player on the world stage.

-> Slight alteration of borders to make Europe look a little more... even. It felt so wrong to see Prussia without East Prussia, so I took it back from the Polish. However, to make up for this change, I have taken a piece of land from Poland's eastern neighbours (Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania a bit further up) in order to make up for this loss, and ensure a Polish connection to the sea.

-> The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth! As mentioned above, Poland has grown dramatically in size, retaining its coastal border, all only for the loss of East Prussia.

-> The addition of three new entire states, Egypt, Japan and Australia! It felt quite lonely over in SEA, and to be honest, I wanted to get as far away from Europe as possible. It was originally just going to be Japan, but a friend of mine (Mingus, mentioned below) convinced me that it wouldn't be a terrible idea to add at least some kind of close rival to colonial dominance in the pacific.
Egypt is a more recent addition after Japan and Australia, given the "Frontier Colonisation" law to encourage the AI to colonise along the River Nile. Hopefully this adds a fun, but somewhat weak, additional force to the world.

And now introducing... the Mayan state! Just an extra little country in North America with frontier colonisation.


I do not intend for this mod to come across as an "improvement" or "fixing" of Jordan's work, but simply changes that I myself found to be more enjoyable, and that Jordan's mod is still a very fun experience separate from this one.


Special thanks to:
Mingus - https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/id/milkationstation - for helping me brainstorm ideas on how to improve on my initial ideas, and provide new ones.
Jordan Voletic - https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/id/JordanVoletic - for providing their permission for me to upload this mod, and for the mod itself essentially being 99% made by them in the first place.
