National Ideas Extended

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.

National Ideas Extended will very likely NOT work completely with mods like: Europa Expanded, Extended Timeline, and Ante Bellum. Part of this mod is already integrated into some mods like Doge's Shattered Europa.
