Choosing a patron: 1 acceptance for 1 rebellion for both OCC and ENG or siding with one side and decreasing that sides rebellion by 1 for an increase by 1 in the rebellion score of the other Note that not all the events are shown here as they will not fire if the optimal paths are taken. The following are the relevant events that can occur, all events also have effects on militancy. However, if both go over 5 then the total revolution will occur and the Dual Monarchy will no longer be able to gain Irish, Provincial or Scottish as accepted cultures, not to mention having to fight a devastating civil war. If one of the rebellion scores goes over 5 then that region will revolt, however once the rebellion is defeated all cultures can still be accepted. In order for the event to fire that gives the DM all its cultures accepted, its acceptance score must be at least 8 and both its rebellion scores can be no higher than 5. The Dual Monarchy has three hidden stats that are the key to accepting all cultures: Acceptance, Occitanian Revolt and English Revolt. The DM can also accept Basque, but that is from an entirely different event chain. If you take the correct path the DM can end up accepting the following cultures: Anglois, Breton, English, French, Irish, Provincial, Scottish and Welsh for a total of 13.40 million accepted pops by 1836 numbers. All the following events and the possibility to integrate all cultures only occur if the initial choice of “we are kings of both France and England” option is chosen. In order to get all of its cultures accepted, there is a long event chain where a very specific set of decisions must be made in order to avoid the DM revolting.

The Dual Monarchy starts as the most populous nation in Europe in DOD, however it barely has any of its pops accepted.
