Proclaiming nations

Hold a nation's key cities and enough of its land and you may proclaim it: your country takes its name, flag and colour, and absorbs land your subjects hold inside it. Each nation lists who may proclaim it – its named countries, or anyone ruling from a capital inside its land.

You may proclaim one nation per tier, climbing upward: a regional union or homeland, then an empire, then a continental union. After enough conquest you can also found a nation of your own design. See the list of nations.
