Clinamen: Internal Affairs

"in politics, the compound should always be resolved into the simple elements or least parts of the whole. We must therefore look at the elements of which the state is composed, in order that we may see in what the different kinds of rule differ from one another"

Removed all accepted cultures from technology. Were both unrealistic and enabling blobbing.

Made development less annoying by reducing micromanagement. The Burghers no longer lower development cost and there is no encourage development state edict. Instead, development cost reduction from prosperity (and the malus from devastation) are doubled and there is a dev cost modifier depending on a government rank (it is easier to develop when you are an empire and also I wanted to avoid smaller states developing much quicker).

To compensate, small autonomy malus with higher ranks - as a consequence of developing administration. Also, they are not quicker in changing their national focus (completely unrealistic). Decaying kingdom and empires lose their boni.

AI is no longer restricted in developing provinces.

Main estates reworked both to reduce micromanagement and to let the AI use them efficiently. (In vanilla, the AI does not recruit discounted advisors.) Main estates do not provide discounted advisors anymore. Nor you may milk them for monarch points. Instead, they provide for an all-powers cost reduction.

Minimum autonomy from estates lowered to 15 but local negative autonomy modifiers added. Estates are kept on conquest.Stronger rebels with time.Made idea groups available every three technologies. Four ideas required for one national idea.Power projection raised for being a great power, era objectives and eclypsing rivals.Vassal's development malus reduced to 30 (from 50).Vassals dev cap removed.Max. tolerance for heretics pushed to 4.Legitimacy is halved on a government change.Restrored corruption for being technologically behind your neighbours. Tech ahead of time cheaper.Restored small base inflation.Scaled truce years reduced.Claims worth more diplomatically and administratively. Cores worth more diplomatically.Imperialism casus belli does not reduce AE.Nationalism casus belli works only for empires.Embrace institution cost doubled.State costs modifiers for distance and wrong culture doubled.Abandoning idea group now gives 40% of its cost.Power costs for reducing inflation and war exhaustion as well as for raising stability - doubled.End date set to 1 Jan. 1836.Clinamen mods are designed to improve realism and gameplay without introducing new mechanics or messing with the AI.
