3 New Government types for China and Japan plus most Buddhist and Hindu states in southeast Asia will predominantly start with the new Mandala Government. ( I have heard there will be more than these 3 government types mentioned)
Also a new Title Tier called Hegemony (China will be the only hegemon at the start of the game) . In theory you could form other Hegemons etc.
Besides that some other new features are House Relations & Blocs
Great Projects
Natural Disasters
The Silk Road

Fuck yeah, looking forward to this! CK3 is my paradox-slop guilty pleasure and it’s genuinely incredible how 1) I’ve wanted an official Asia expansion so much and 2) how fucking seething this is making the typical Paradox white incel fascist playerbase.
Of course the absolute cash they’ll rake in from this is also going to be fucking hilarious, just imagining the defeated CHUDs reactions. Not only will this be huge with the growing CN playerbase, western fascists are gonna gobble this shit up whether they like it or not, and everyone knows it!
