Dynamic Country Names

Dynamic country names in Victoria 3 are defined by adding dynamic_country_name entries to a YAML file. This structure allows you to centralize rules, apply country-scope triggers, and set prioritization.

The DEFAULT rule provides a fallback for Victoria 3 country names when specific tag conditions are not met. It ensures a general name is applied, while specific tags can override it using prioritized triggers and is_main_tag_only settings.

Yes, you can use deterministic country-scope triggers to change a country name dynamically in Victoria 3. These triggers evaluate tag conditions to apply specific naming patterns over the fallback DEFAULT.

The best way to manage localization for dynamic country names is to centralize your tag-based rules within a YAML structure. This reduces manual edits and ensures consistency across tags, adjectives, and localization files.

Dynamic country names might not override the base tag if the priority is set incorrectly or the country-scope trigger fails. Ensure your YAML structure includes the correct priority value and a valid deterministic trigger.

You need the is_main_tag_only parameter for dynamic country names when you want the naming rule to apply exclusively to the primary tag. This optional YAML field prevents secondary tags from inheriting the dynamic name.
