Victoria 3 is gonna be disappointing if I can't enslave the white pops and have unique models for them.
Also,
I will reestablish Jan Mayen and the Polar Bears will get their perfect revenge on the humans.

i've always kinda wanted to get into the byzantine empire in ck2 tbh
it just seems way more complicated than other countries

One could even say that it's byzantine in its complexity.

Exactly. Most of the people I'm enslaving aren't gonna be very ethnically different from my population, so I hope it wouldn't be depicted like that.

One imagines they'll likely be using the CK3 3D stuff for them from what we've seen, so the slave poses and clothing will likely be applied as a pop modifier, while how a pop looks otherwise is from that pop's culture, so all cultures can be all pop types.

Invade Canada. Turn into free states. Do the Golden Circle plan to balance it. Now you have Unionists vs Confederates vs Canadians and probably the UK vs various independence movements in Latin America and probably France.

I am wondering how determining what groups are enslaved will be handled. Maybe I, a Belgian, want to enslave the Scots and make them.. I dunno, tend fields of sheep?

Or maybe i enslave former capitalist pops once I usher in a glorious age of the peoples revolution

You’d think they’d have more complicated punishments rather then the simplicity of just castrating everyone.
