Realistic & Immersive Country and Faction Names

Description
IRONMAN COMPATIBLE - will work with every version of the game
____________

A very simple mod that changes the names of coutries and factions to be more realistic. No more long names or meme names. Countries will now only rarely change their names when it's plausible and realistic to do so - see changelog here:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/changelog/1842951617

I know there are many mods like this on the Steam Workshop, but none of them correspond 100% with my flag & CoA mods.
____________

Features:
- simplified country names that rarely change depending on the ideology
- EU4 naming style for puppets and colonies: "British India", Finland puppeted by the Soviets will be called "Soviet Finland", Libya released by Italy "Italian Libya", Ukraine released by Germany "German Ukraine", Reorganized China will be "Japanese China" etc.
- proper english overhauled faction names

Hello

Could you change the "German Reich" to the "German Empire," please? It's annoying when I know they mean the same thing.

Oh, right :)

Austrian names are going to be changed with the release of the newest DLC.

Could you make fascist austria's name just be "Austria" instead of "German Austria"? i think its really unnecessary and confusing for such a small country, even when they aren't a german puppet, for consistency!

Is this mod only for the English version of the game?

The Brazillian Focus Tree "Re-establish the Empire of Brazil" doesn't change the name of the Country to the "Empire of Brazil".

Now thats only a minor thing but could that be fixed?

Why TF would I do anything and change anything at all?

But honestly:
Communist International was only the alliance of communist parties - not a formal alliance of any kind between nations like "The Axis", "The Allies", "NATO" etc. I would even say that "The Allies" or "The Axis" aren't any formal/official names as well.

I needed an immersive name that covers The Soviet Union and all of it's satellite states including Mongolia, Tanu Tuva and later Poland, Romania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria etc. thus "the Soviet sphere of influence". It was never supposed to be any kind of formal alliance name.

Why TF would you change Comintern to Soviet Sphere?

I know that Comintern was dissolved in 1943, but:

1. At least Comintern existed. There was NO SUCH alliance called the Soviet Sphere - the closest I can find is the informal term 'Soviet bloc' and that's Cold War era. So, you call this name 'realistic' and 'immersive'!?
2. Comintern was dissolved in 1943, which is considered late game. In most of my games, WW2 ends by 1941-1942 and all 7 starting majors are dead by then.

I just realised it when looking at the score screen, and it's killed my immersion.

Worst part is, modifying your mod's files cannot change the name now, once at game start the name is fixed, its fixed forever, unlike country names which can be modified on the fly.

The visual aspect of my run is ruined now. And I'm rightfully mad.
