Stereotypically Accurate Cultural Obsessions

Description
Designed for game Victoria 3 - 1.8.*

Stereotypically Accurate Cultural Obsessions

Victoria 3 added a quite cool feature - Cultural Obsessions. They are cultural fascinations with certain goods a culture is obsessed with, making the consumption and demand for such good have a double weight.

And only 13 cultures have such obsessions, whilist gaining new ones is quite rare and subject to a bazilion of math, waiting, events and alike. Not only that, but it mostly lacks the 'meme-y' part of it. This is why, I created this mod.

It adds quite a lot of stereotypical, almost 100, cultural obsession for various cultures - ranging from the Japanese, American to European.

Additional Info:

    PLEASE do NOT take this mod too into your heart, nor seriously, and it's goal is not to be harmful (it's kind of meant to offend everyone though ;p)

If you want to devastate your balkan neighbour, represent an interesting or funny stereotype, or just add something that would be somewhat historically accurate, feel free to ask/give a proposition in the comments!
