Consolidated Nations - A Performance Mod

Description
Halfs the amount of tags present one week into the game to boost performance. While trying to keep gameplay impact as little as possible

Time Savings:
1.6:
- On my machine it only took 78% of the time to run the first 4 years of the game. Somebody else with a laptop had 73% of the time.
- Of course results may vary for you.

1.7
Crunching 236 tags down to 94.
Vanilla: 6:36 for 5 years
Mod: 5:38 for 5 years

Meaning it only took 85% of the time or was 17% faster.

Hint:
- If you do not like how a region is consolidated. You can just disable that region in the GAME RULES.
- The consolidation happens one week into the game to give the rest of the game time to initialize stuff.

Just test it yourself:
- Just run it once with and once without this mod and compare the time

If you find the tradeoff between time and gameplay impact good, then keep it, otherwise just yeet the mod.

Out of curiosity, please let me know the time diff in the comments!

Why would you use it:
- Unsatified with the performance?
- Do you value your time?
- Frustrated you have to declare 10 wars over 15 years to unify the Dutch East Indies for example?

Why wouldnt you use it:
- You really want to see those tiny tags even if you have no interaction with them over the game duration

Part of my Performance Series:
- Consolidate Pop Fragments

oh ok thanks I'll look again

@ProTartareSauce mod works just fine, I just played it yesterday and there were no patches since. So it is a local issue with your mod launcher or some incompatible mods

@cris.minecraft.2013@yahoo.pe
thanks, thats an interesting suggestion but I wonder if its benefits are limited since the decentralized countries dont do nearly as much as the centralized ones. On the other hand if you merge them together end up fighting huuge revolts that span almost the entire continent in africa and you may even have to fight revolts you dont have full access to, so for the most part I think they are fine

This mod should be on R34

@Caracus
You're right, it was another mod that merges cultures. This one is fine.

@Whinix cant be, im currently on 1.8.* and it works fine. Do you by any chance play with mods that change states and/or on an earlier version than 1.8?

@mirlong you may want to use the game rules that disable the consolidation in areas where your colonies are! Ie disable it for North Africa and west Africa.
Like im not playing with consolidation on for Germany when playing Germany either.

i start a new game playing France, but suddenly i lost all my colony in north Africa . Also i failed the mission
