Elections[edit | edit source]

Main article: Election events

When an election cycle ends, you get an event in which you can select the ruler:

  • Re-elect the current ruler. The country loses −2.5 Republican tradition.pngrepublican tradition per election cycle year, but the ruler gains 1 of each skill. This is to represent the fear that the ruler is becoming entrenched and despotic, more like a monarchy.
  • Administrative candidate (4/1/1)
  • Diplomatic candidate (1/4/1)
  • Military candidate (1/1/4)
  • A relative of the current ruler if a government reform allows re-electing from the ruling family. The country loses −1 Republican tradition.pngrepublican tradition per election cycle year. This candidate is between 30 and 50 years old. With the Political Dynasties reform this candidate has −2 to their skills.

Re-election cost can be reduced by a number of sources:

−20%
  • Bolognese idea 2: Bentivoglio Family
−10%
  • Diplomatic-Plutocratic: Mandatory Service

The 12th tier reinforce republican values government reform: Reelection cost.png −10% Reelection cost The White House gives −5%/−10%/−10% Reelection cost

If the ruler dies in office, a similar event occurs but without the possibility for re-election. Compared to a monarchy, one has much more control over who rules, and there is no stability loss when he/she dies (except if he is killed in combat and/or if the ruler rules for life). However, a freshly elected ruler is usually not very good, and (except for Dutch Republics and Italian Signoria) one can't make royal marriages. Republican leaders can be used as military leaders like their monarch counterparts. If their leader is killed in action, the republic suffers −1 Stability.png stability instead of −2.

In most republics re-electing the same ruler with less than 20 Republican tradition.png republican tradition, will enact the Presidential Dictator reform (where the ruler reigns of life) if the Res Publica.png Res Publica expansion is enabled, or turn the country into a monarchy if the DLC is not enabled. This does not happen for revolutionary countries, Pirate Republic or republics which can't re-elect their ruler. See below for other ways how a presidential dictatorship can happen and how to turn into a monarchy afterwards.

Cultural sufferance[edit | edit source]

All republics have a small bonus that helps mitigate the penalty to non-accepted culture provinces. It’s not applied to cultures belonging to the same culture group. The bonus consists of:[1]

Local tax modifier.png +10%.0 Local tax modifier
Local manpower modifier.png +10%.0 Local manpower modifier
Local sailors modifier.png +5%.0 Local sailors modifier
Local unrest.png −0.5% Local unrest

Republican tradition[edit | edit source]

Republican tradition.png Republican tradition is the republican counterpart of how legitimate the ruling power is perceived by the general population. It's also a way to show how "true" the government holds up to republican ideals (i.e. if a country elects a new ruler in every election). This property ranges between 0 and 100.

New republics will start with 100 tradition, unless the nation in question was formerly a different government type and changed their government type through the final reform tier, in which case it will start with 50. Each year republican tradition increases by a base of +1. Various events can make a player choose between sacrificing tradition or suffering another negative consequence. Like legitimacy, republican tradition has linearly-scaling effects based on its level:

Variable 0% 50% 100%
National unrest.png National unrest 0 −1 −2
Reform progress growth.png Reform progress growth 0 +50% +100%
Burghers loyalty equilibrium.png Burghers loyalty equilibrium 0 +2.5% +5%

Low republican tradition and reverting to monarchy[edit | edit source]

Main article: Republic events § Rise of a despot

In most republics re-electing the same ruler with less than 20 Republican tradition.png republican tradition, will enact the Presidential Dictator reform (where the ruler reigns of life) if the Res Publica.png Res Publica expansion is enabled, or turn the country into a monarchy if the DLC is not enabled. This does not happen for revolutionary countries, Pirate Republic or republics which can't re-elect their ruler. A Revolutionary Republic and a Revolutionary State will become a Revolutionary Empire when re-electing a ruler with less than 20 Republican tradition.png republican tradition.

Republican governments (except Revolutionary countries, Pirate Republic, Dutch Republic, Protectorate Parliament, Board of Admirals and Colonial Nations) with low tradition can collapse into despotism. Below 40 Republican tradition.png, the ruler of a republic (again, with the above exceptions) may declare himself the head of a new government type, depending on whether Res Publica.png Res Publica is active:

  • Without Res Publica: the government becomes a monarchy, with a free choice among valid tier 1 reforms.
  • With Res Publica: the tier 1 reform Presidential Dictatorship is enacted.

With Res Publica, the event becomes more likely below 30, 20, 10 and 1 Republican tradition.png republican tradition. Without Res Publica, the event can only happen below 1 republican tradition.

When a presidential dictator dies with republican tradition below 50, it becomes a monarchy, allowing a free choice among the valid tier 1 monarchy reforms (typically Feudal Nobility or Autocracy). Republican tradition does not normally increase during a dictatorship, but if it's above 50 when the ruler dies, the presidential dictatorship reform is removed and a new tier 1 reform can be chosen. Events and the Strengthen Government action can be used to get above 50 republican tradition during a dictatorship.

Revolutionary Republics instead become Revolutionary Empires if republican tradition falls to 0, or 40 if the Imperials Imperials faction are in power (requires Rights of Man.png Rights of Man).

A Revolutionary State and a Pirate Republic can get the event The Stability of the [Root.GovernmentName] if the Republican tradition.png republican tradition falls below 20. This event gives them a “Committee of Public Safety” or a “Mutineer Council” respectively which act like a regency and don't allow the declaration of wars. To remove the “Committee of Public Safety” or the “Mutineer Council” the country must have at least Republican tradition.png 50 republican tradition when an election happens. Then the election happens normally and the “regency” is removed. If the republican tradition is lower, no election happens and the “regency” continues.

Falling to dictatorship is particularly dangerous for merchant republics, who will instantly lose their trade leagues.

The ubiquity of conflicts and wars in Japan during the Sengoku Jidai gave rise to a new class of warriors, the ashigaru.

Armed with spears, bows and swords, their constant presence in battle made them into a class between the farmers and the samurai, being in some cases even considered as part of the lower strata of samurai. Hover, it was with the introduction of the tanegashima teppou, the Japanese adaption of the matchlock, that their presence truly shined. Its easier learning curve compared to the bow, combined with the superior numbers of the ashigaru compared to the samurai, made it so that ashigaru armed with matchlocks became the main part of any Japanese army.

Our empire requires loyal and able servants. Let us reforge our noble class according to a numerical mansab system. Each noble will be given a rank, corresponding to both his obligation and will then be assigned lands around the empire by our administration to support him in accordance with his rank. The guiding principle for how highly someone is ranked must be ability, and this route must be open regardless of religion or origin. Only this way can we be sure to raise a court of those most able to bring our empire forward.
