Type	Effects	Description & notes
Monarchy	+5% Nobility influence	A monarchy is a form of government where a sole monarch is the head of state. A monarch rules for life and the title is is often hereditary within their dynasty. Uses Legitimacy Can have Royal marriages Can form Personal unions Has heirs Stability loss upon Ruler death

Legitimacy

Legitimacy is a rating for how legitimate the ruling monarch is perceived to be by the general population. This property ranges between 0 and 100. With the Mandate of Heaven expansion, the Celestial Empire doesn't use legitimacy.

Junior partners in a personal union share their overlord's legitimacy. Effects that would increase or decrease legitimacy (e.g. the "Seek Support of the Clergy" clergy estate interaction) do not affect legitimacy in a junior partner.

The effects of legitimacy scale linearly from the worst at 0 to the best at 100:

Variable	0%	50%	100%
National unrest	+2	0	−2
Religious tolerance	−1	0	+1
Diplomatic reputation	−1	0	+1
Income from vassals	−5%	0	+5%
Militarization of state	−0.025	0	+0.025
Maximum absolutism	−10	0	+10

Legitimacy modifiers

There are two main ways for legitimacy to either increase or decrease, these are called active and passive modifiers.

Active modifiers

Active modifiers are those that are dependent on the players actions.

• Royal marriages. These usually give a small, one-time decrease to legitimacy, particularly if the royal match comes from a less powerful realm. Legitimacy gain is then increased.
• Events. Sometimes there appear events that can either increase or decrease legitimacy.
• Papal Influence. Catholics can spend 50 Papal Influence to increase legitimacy by +1.0 per year for 20 years.
• Succession. Depending on the claim strength of the heir, may legitimacy become low, if weak, medium, if average, or high, if strong, upon succession to the throne. Legitimacy upon succession will be the claim strength assigned to the heir; legitimacy of the previous ruler is not counted.
• Pretender rebels, if they enforce their demands, will install a new ruler with strong claim, thus increasing legitimacy.
• Strengthen government gives +10 legitimacy for 100 military power

Passive modifiers

Passive modifiers are not dependent on player action, instead they rely on existing variables. The following shown examples are calculated yearly.

• +0.1 for each royal marriage.
• +1 with Righteous ruler personality
• +1 for being a Lucky Nation
• −2.0 by having a regency council in power.
• +1.0 if the government is a constitutional monarchy.
• +0.25 for the chinaware trading bonus.
• −1.0 for each point of negative stability to a maximum of −3.
• +0.005 for each point of Power projection.
• −1.0 if the target of Sow Discontent covert action.
• −0.5 for owning an unlawful imperial territory.
• Implemented decisions, national ideas and events.
• Prestige affects legitimacy linearly, so:
  • If −100 then −1.
  • If +100 then +1.
• +0.5 for a Muslim country holding Mecca and Medina
• +0.5 for enacting Legitimize government as a Coptic nation (requires Rights of Man DLC)
• +0.25 for assimilating Byzantine culture group as Mughals

Conditions: is revolutionary.
Military Electorate	+0.25 Yearly army tradition +1 Land leader fire +0.1 Imperial influence	Our nation values comradery above all else, and nobody exemplifies the value of being a comrade like our boys fighting on the fields of battle.
