How to change Gov type?

[Sir Shfvingle]

I'm not sure if this is in the correct forum but, how would one go about changing the government type in the data files? I s this in ESF? If so, what entries need to be made?

Side note: I am playing with DarthMod installed and am playing as the United States on long campaign. Does this change anything?

Thanks.

You need to replace all the references in the startpos.esf file to the government-type for the faction and the starting-regions owned by the faction with the type you want. Read the brief thread tutorial on this in the startpos mod section. I was able to do this for the first time a day or 2 ago when I made Denmark an Absolute monarchy. You need to be very careful not to save the changes until they are all complete or will get crashes when you start with that faction. See here for explanation.

Okay, I see now. Thanks
