No Starting Treaty Ports

Alert: according to a user, this mod may also remove all Chilean and Argentinian claims in South America which were introduced in patch 1.2. I have not verified this




On game start, there are seven treaty ports across the game. To the best of my knowledge these are ahistorical with the first treaty ports being a product of the First Opium War, so this mod removes them entirely and they function as regular trade nodes without the extra benefit. Unfortunately, the only way this can be accomplished is if these tiny one-province states are incorporated rather than unincorporated on game start. This mod therefore means this is true and they will save you a whopping 50 bureaucracy and probably some pennies in tax money.

Currently this mod turns these empire's ports into regular ones:

FRANCE IN PONDICHERRY (EAST INDIA)
PORTUGUESE IN MACAO (CHINA)
PORTUGUESE IN NOVA GOA (WEST INDIA)
BRITAIN IN GIBRALTAR
BRITAIN IN ACCRA (WEST AFRICA)
BRITAIN IN SINGAPORE
Baluchistan Oman gone


This mod changes the 00_states.txt file. Any mod that also changes this file may conflict with it.

It was inspired by a reddit post [https://www.reddit.com/r/victoria3/comments/yhrjto/france_is_op_because_they_have_british_market/] that attributes France's atypical ability to grow in strength to this treaty port, and my own knowledge on the subject of treaty ports historically.
