Introduction[]
National ideas are representative of a nation's historical skills,specialties, culture, or other traits. They are mostly based on historical events or specialties and are a major source of flavor for countries.
Implementation[]
National ideas work similarily to vanilla but with distinct differences, most of which were added in version 2.01. For starters every one idea (from an idea group) unlocks a national idea, and most countries start out with four ideas. There are also less ideas and Traditions and Ambitions have been removed. National ideas are now based on events that happened shortly before or shortly after the start date, geographical features of the country or things that have been present in the country for most of the game's duration for more historical accuracy.
Types of ideas[]
Unlike vanilla, where a nation has two traditions, seven ideas and an ambition, all nations in Meiou & Taxes have one familial system, one bonus idea and five normal ideas.
Familial systems[]
Familial systems are based on culture and represent the way society works in the country. They have both advantages and penalties that are typically associated with such societies.
Bonus ideas[]
Bonus ideas are also based on culture rather than the country and represent what the citizens of the country are typically good at.
Ideas[]
Besides Familial systems and Bonus ideas there are normal ideas that work like vanilla.
