Describe the specific change you would like: Change state categories for these states: Pskov: Developed Rural -> Developing Rural Velikyye Luki: Undeveloped Rural -> Developing Rural Vitebsk: Undeveloped Rural -> Developing Rural Krichev: Undeveloped Rural -> Developing Rural Smolensk: Urbanising -> Developed Rural Bryansk: Urbanising -> Developed Rural Yaroslavl: Urbanising -> Developed Rural Chernigov: Urbanising -> Developed Rural Starodub: Developing Rural -> Undeveloped Rural Rzhev: Undeveloped Rural -> Developing Rural Kursk: Urbanised -> Developed Rural Tsaritsyn: Urbanised -> Urbanising Tambov: Undeveloped Rural -> Developed Rural Poltava: Undeveloped Rural -> Developed Rural Cherkasy: Urbanising -> Developed Rural Vinnitsa: Urbanising -> Developed Rural Ekaterinoslav: Developed Rural -> Urbanising Crimea: Urbanising -> Developed Rural Stavropol: Undeveloped Rural -> Developed Rural Kazan: Developed Rural -> Urbanising Samara: Urbanising -> Developing Rural Zlatoust: Peripheral -> Undeveloped Rural Ekaterinburg: Urbanised -> Urbanising Tyumen: Undeveloped Rural -> Developing Rural Omsk: Developed Rural -> Urbanising Novo-Nikolayevsk: Developed Rural -> Urbanising Krasnoyarsk: Developed Rural -> Urbanising Blagoveshchensk: Undeveloped Rural -> Developing Rural Okhotsk: Wasteland -> Peripheral Yakutsk: Wasteland -> Peripheral

Explain the reasoning behind this actionable change: The current state categories in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia is mostly based of vanilla state categories, which is far from historically correct

Additional context or comments:

I don't think these are all great; the categories are mainly for building slots. Especially for the Siberian ones, it's to be revealed if Siberia was heavily developed after 1wk like that in Soviet Union otl; KR lore will center around German investment, which may create a different scenario.

You do have a point there, considering that German investors are more likely to invest in Western oblasts than Siberian ones. What do you think about the suggestion for rural areas?

I think the rural ones look great.

The Russian rework should allow upgrading rural state categories (like credit grants in Serbia or Chinese land reform) and upgrade urban states (possibly in Savinkov industrialization) to represent the developments that happen during the gameplay timespan,
