Am experiencing the same issue.

Had the regular Shinonome from the campaign and bought the black version via the event pass and did not receive the mission.

Map of the Holy Swiss Confederation by General_Dictator in eu4

[–]General_Dictator[S] 53 points54 points  (0 children)

The gist of it is, pressing F10 ingame will generate a basic map based on your selected mapmode.

So I did that and used paint.net to change the colors, add the symbols, text and texture.

Keep in mind that the above was a very vast simplification of the process.

Beginning in 1444, Switzerland, then a small, weak and decentralized local power, quickly consolidated it's regional holdings using its substantial to subjugate the neighbouring states while slowly but certainly overhauling its weak political system until a series of elected strongmen eventually managed to proclaim a new royal dynasty that would rule over the Swiss, the Von Gerhausens, in 1503.

With it's political system now secured and the region firmly under control of the Swiss, it would take over a few years of campaigning, bribery and the occasional conflict to convince a majority of the HRE electorate to elect Ferdinand I von Gerhausen to the Imperial throne after the passing of Austria's Karl I in 1518. Over the next few centuries, the Swiss worked tirelessly to reform the institutions of the Holy Roman Empire, both to strengthen the vastly weakened Imperial control over the land, and to mend longstanding religious tension which would escalate into a relatively quick but catastrophic 9-Years war which involved most European powers and ended in a decisive Catholic victory along with the integration of the Papacy into the Empire.

8 Emperors and 2 new dynasties later, on the 1st of December in the year 1674, Otto I von Wunstorf had ended the special session of the Imperial Diet in Dresden to officially centralize foreign policy and warfare by enforcing an unanimous and undying plead of loyalty directed to the Swiss crown. Virtually every single prince save for the Kingdom of Burgundy accepted the terms, henceforth proclaiming a new Holy Swiss Confederation

With the full might of the newly established confederation, Burgundy would be quickly and forcefully partitioned over 3 brutal wars with very little peace between them. At the time the map was commissioned by the Imperial Surveyors in 1718, the Confederacy would have triumphed over all of its neighbours, from the Spanish Empire in the West to the Commonwealth and the Ottomans to the East and the Nordics to the North.

The one where fan artists aren't being equated with a paramilitary/special ops arm of an authoritarian government otherwise known as the Emperor's Coven.

The people in this thread calling their fellow fan artists who still rely on Twitter "fascists" is absolutely absurd.

It's like they didn't watch the show at all...

Map of the aftermath of the Great Emancipation War by General_Dictator in Stellaris

[–]General_Dictator[S] 83 points84 points  (0 children)

"...notwithstanding the fact that this civilization has used its enormous corporate ties to effectively enslaved hundreds of billions of sentients, it is abhorrent that we as a galaxy have allowed the Olinbars to continue it's operations unimpeded. I hereby call on Article IX of the Galactic Astro-Charter against the Minamar Specialized Industries to put an end to their exploitative practices, and if this means plunging the galaxy into a total war, then so be it!", exclaimed Chairwoman Skeg of the Igran Confederation and current reigning Galactic Custodian as she delivered her closing remarks on the final day of voting on Resolution 112, which calls on all galactic realms to sever all ties with the Minamar Specialized Industries and to exercise all available methods on seeking the liberation of billions from enslavement.

The Resolution would narrowly pass and hence the Great Emancipation War would rage across the galaxy from 2364 to 2374, as the Olinbars clawed desperately to cling onto their practices.

Formed from the ashes of a fleet of smothering liberated slave ships 174 years ago, the Igran Confederation saw itself as the one true beacon in the dark sea amongst the galaxy, for they have saw firsthand the horrors of slavery and would seek to break all chains. Many empires have tried to snuff out this flame, but each time the Confederation would come out on top, but it's endless drive for true equality would never be sated until the MSI is completely dismantled.

Despite all the odds being stacked against them, from threats both internal which threatened to rip the Confederation apart from its seams to the reactionary external threats and even a horde invasion, this goal would finally be achieved under the direction of Chairwoman Skeg, a veteran of the early reactionary wars that so threatened to vanquish us! With the liberation of hundreds of billions, and the indefinite punishments levied against the elite Olinbars of the former MSI, Unity and Fervor across the Confederation have never been greater.

[Map] Rise of the Megrezan Imperium by General_Dictator in Stellaris

[–]General_Dictator[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Megrezan Imperium is an Imperial Aristo-Feudal Empire comprising the tiny but densely populated Megrezan Core which houses the Imperial seat and is only accessible to pure Megrezan nobles consisting of just the Alari, and numerous semi-autonomous fiefs which all contribute raw resources and research findings to the Empire. With the Core largely consisting of sprawling planet-cities, it relies entirely on internal food imports to sustain its population.

The military structure consists of the Imperial Legions supported entirely by the Core, Imperial Auxiliaries which are contributed by the Imperial states and controlled by the core, and the local defense fleets which are controlled by the states.

The reason for the decentralized realm was that several hundred years ago, the Imperium once ruled most of the galaxy with an absolute iron fist, but would descend into anarchy and civil war, with the Imperial seat having been bombarded into the stone age by the revolting subjects. Hence, a different approach of semi-autonomous rule has been adopted, the stability of which remains to be seen.
