First and foremost - the amount of work and quality of this tutorial is incredible. Very very well done!
I had one question from the tutorial - in the step "Tableau Op: Repress" you say which region applies if the Queen is married - what happens if she is not married?
The only other feedback I'd give (other than OMG how much work went into this) is that I kept wondering why the game didn't end when the victory condition was met. This is explained in the end but I'm sure others will wonder the same; it might have been useful to say something to pre-empt the Comet card at the point when the victory condition is met.
One a minor note, I noticed there were a few typos and started making notes as I completed the tutorial:
"Emporiums" typo "Timbuktu in Argon"; "Argon" should be "Aragon"
"Action: Tableau Ops" typo "You may active"; "active" should be "action" or "activate" or "perform"?
"Well done" (after performing repress) typo "Bare in mind"; "Bare" should be "Bear"
"Battles": typo "wont be victorious"; "wont" should be "won't"
(untitled after battles" typo "which ones wont"; "wont" should be "won't"
"Silencing" typo "Bishops silences"; "silences" should be "silence"
"One-shot: Apostacy" typo "matching both religion"; "religion" should be "religions"

Thank you very much for the kind words!
Due to the game's steep learning curve, I tried to make it the best it can possibly be to make the game more accessible to new players!
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback! All spelling errors have been fixed!
As for not explaining the game end, I originally left it out since I mentioned "Declare Victory" as an action you can take, implying that the game wont end unless you take that action, and I assumed new players would most likely not pay attention if they met the victory condition while learning the game, but I agree its a good idea to make it more clear that the game will not end intentionally at that point so that they don't get confused later!
I added a
comment briefly explaining the comet card when it first shows up in the market! This also added the nice aesthetic bonus of rounding out the comment count of the tutorial to 180!

Oops! Sorry forgot to answer this!
The only way a Queen cannot be married is if you don't perform their Coronation One-shot.
If you don't, then they become an Old-Maid and all Ops and Abilities do not work for that card for the rest of the game, but their Prestige points still counts!
EDIT: Added a
reminder about this after the description of the Repress Op!

Many thanks for making this awesome tutorial! As a new Pax Renaissance player who knows nothing about the rules of the game before, this tutorial simply makes the game accessible to beginners like me. Though I still have to go through the rulebook for details after completing the tutorial, it is way easier to start the game with the tutorial than to read the rulebook from scratch. Without this tutorial, I will have no chance to enjoy this masterpiece. Great work! Highly appreciate your effort!

Thank you so much Will! I'm glad it made learning the game easier! That was my goal from the beginning, to make it as accessible as possible since the rule book, exceptions, and how everything interacts was the biggest barrier, so I wanted to ease that barrier to help people learn this great game! Glad it's doing just that!
