Based of of Androrc's ideas, perhaps we could have some sort of "culture tree" like this?

Spoiler :

So you'd have the <colour> Human Tribe, and after researching cultural identity, you would get an event to pick one of the "base" cultures, ie, N. American, European, etc. After that, your culture would be based on your surrounding. So, if you picked European culture, and your city was on a coast by a hill, you would get Latin culture. Then, at a certain tech point, your culture would advance further based on your surroundings. So, if you had Latin culture and had a city in a forest with grapes, you would get French culture. We could keep going even further, ie, splitting French culture into Parisian, Burgundian, Occitain, etc.

My idea is similar to other's suggestion here. Instead of collecting cultures you sort of zoom in to one through climbing up a culture tree. And I'd also like it to be possible for more countries and empires within one culture to exist. To accomplish that isn't difficult conceptually although I know nothing about how it can be done in programming. The idea is simply that each city is associated with a particular 'ethnicity'. Starting with Rome as your capital ofcourse makes your empire Roman, if northern Italy breaks off and their capital becomes Milan then it's the Milanese kingdom/empire or perhaps 'Lombardy', if the same region breaks off but Genua becomes capital then it becomes the Ligurian Empire e.t.c.
