DESCRIPTION
This mod is intended to give unique national ideas to many nations throughout EU4 that seem to have only "filler" idea sets, or simply could use an actual set of unique national ideas based on the history surrounding the nation itself. I do not intend to make them over-powered and as such will be balancing them as time goes on. This mod does not currently seek to do anything else other than give unique national ideas to certain nations.
