What if Japan and the British Isles switched places? (EU4)

In today's Europa Universalis IV (EU4) video we will be swapping the places of Britain and Ireland with Japan and seeing how things play out. Religion and mission trees will all remain the same. Samurai in Paris?

4:33 Later Jin is a tag that the Manchu tribes get after completing one of their missions, requiring them to own (almost) all of Manchuria after already having a slight incursion into China. It is the (Chinese) name of an actual Jurchen dynasty of 1616-1636.

Now I’m dreaming of a Japanese-French cuisine

[@LordS20000]

In the early 20th century, as Japan expanded its influence across the globe, it established colonies in various regions, including France. This colonization led to a significant cultural exchange between the two nations, including their culinary traditions. Over time, the Japanese and French cuisines began to blend, resulting in the birth of a unique fusion cuisine. The Tempura Croissant Sandwich is believed to have originated in the mid-20th century in the bustling streets of Paris. The story goes that a Japanese chef, trained in traditional tempura techniques, settled in Paris and decided to experiment with incorporating the delicate, flaky croissant, a staple of French pastry, into the Japanese tempura style. Being familiar with the French love for sandwiches, the chef sought to create a dish that combined the best of both culinary worlds. Drawing inspiration from the French croque-monsieur, a classic ham and cheese sandwich, the chef decided to substitute the traditional filling with tempura ingredients. To create a harmonious balance, the chef carefully selected ingredients that complemented each other in terms of texture and flavor. Shrimp, with its delicate sweetness, was chosen as the star of the dish. Thinly sliced zucchini and carrot were added to provide a refreshing crunch and subtle sweetness. The chef then prepared a light and crispy tempura batter, using his knowledge of Japanese techniques. By combining the French croissant with Japanese tempura, the chef aimed to achieve a juxtaposition of textures: the flaky, buttery croissant against the crispy, airy tempura coating. As word of this innovative fusion dish spread, it quickly gained popularity among locals and visitors alike. The Tempura Croissant Sandwich became a symbol of the unique cultural exchange between Japan and France, embodying the culinary fusion that resulted from their intertwined histories. Today, this dish stands as a testament to the rich and diverse culinary heritage born from the Japanese France. It represents the creativity, innovation, and harmonious blending of two distinct culinary traditions, showcasing the endless possibilities that emerge when cultures collide in the realm of food. Dish: Tempura Croissant Sandwich Ingredients: - 2 croissants - 4 large shrimp, deveined and peeled - 1 small zucchini, thinly sliced - 1 small carrot, thinly sliced - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 1 cup ice-cold water - Vegetable oil, for frying - Salt, to taste - Mayonnaise - Soy sauce Instructions: 1. Preheat your frying oil in a deep saucepan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). 2. Prepare the tempura batter by combining the all-purpose flour and ice-cold water in a bowl. Mix gently until just combined, leaving some lumps in the batter for a lighter texture. 3. Dip the shrimp, zucchini slices, and carrot slices into the tempura batter, ensuring they are fully coated. 4. Carefully place the battered ingredients into the preheated oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until the tempura turns golden and crispy. Remove the cooked tempura from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the tempura while they are still hot. 5. Slice the croissants in half horizontally, creating a top and bottom bun. 6. Spread a layer of mayonnaise on the inside of each croissant half. 7. Arrange the cooked tempura on the bottom half of the croissant, layering the shrimp, zucchini, and carrot to create a visually appealing and flavorful combination. 8. Drizzle a small amount of soy sauce over the tempura fillings to add a savory umami element to the dish. 9. Place the top half of the croissant over the fillings to complete the sandwich. 10. Optionally, you can serve the tempura croissant sandwich with a side of mixed greens or French fries for a complete meal.

[@kabobawsome]

I'd love to see a video where you shove all the monuments into a random uncolonized new world province (also change the localization to call it "El Dorado" for extra fun points). Also open up all the requirements so that at most they require the province culture to be accepted and the province religion to be the state religion. Ideally put it close to one of the remaining nomadic natives. Make it a race to El Dorado.
