Embrace Westernization

Embracing Westernization is a decision that can be made by every uncivilized nation except Japan, which has its own unique form of the decision.

Description
Our country is under intellectual assault by modernity and the Western World. In the fields of modern technology, industry and military theory, the old traditions and institutions no longer serve us as they used to. Everywhere we turn, western influences spread like wildfire through our nation, our population, and our souls. If we are to remain what we have always been, and not become something else entirely, now is the time to assume control of our own destiny. It has become apparent to the leading members of our intellectual elite, that the only way to turn the tide on the Western Leviathan is to swim with it, for, as Sun Tu says: The reed that bends before the wind, also offers a form of resistance.

Requires
The country must be at peace, have a military score of 50, have a prestige of 40, and must have researched the Rights of Man, Publishing Industry, Freedom of Trade, Private Banks, and Post-Napoleonic Thought technologies.

Effects
After embracing westernization, the country will become a civilized nation and gain 5.25 points of prestige.

In addition, the country will lose the Education Reform, Military Reform, Western Influences, Uncivilized Isolationism, Trade Restrictions, Sayings of the Dutch, and Extraterritoriality Granted modifiers and all of its provinces will lose the European Military Mission, Foreign Smugglers, Foreign Trading Post, Kettler Denkmal, Legation Quarter, Local Opium Habit, and Western Presence modifiers.
