Hello there, fellow modders & else

I decided to play a Russian republic campaign for the wild ride, antagonize the coalition and try to befriend Mr. Poleon (

), however there is this minuscule detail that bothers me endlessly: my faction retains the "Empire" title, even though I overthrew the nobility and am a JebBush-approved-proper-democracy. I can accept Kutuzov sticking around for the long run (idk he's a cool guy), but being labeled an empire with no emperor is too weird.

I sniffed around the .pack files some, before coming here. Found that the localization thingy in DMN_UPC_napoleon_v3_3.pack has some connection to the labeling, but it's not the only factor: meddling with it broke things somewhat, and I didn't probe to see how far that went.

DarthMod definitely changes diplomatic names around, and I remember vanilla NTW (or ETW?) changing some faction names according to their government, namely the Netherlands. So, anyone know how it works? At the very least, can I be called just Russia?
