Militarization is a broad term summary for three different mechanics of similar name and function.
Militarization is represented via a meter in the Government tab of the interface and has a value scaling from 0 to 100%.
The meter shows the current percentage of Militarization the country has. The Boni from Militarization scale linearly with its current percentage.
The government reforms Stratocratic Administration, Militaristic Divine State, Crusading Empire, Livonian Militarist Monarchy and Zulu Tribe have access to militarization.
The government has acces to the "Boost Militarization" interaction, which at the cost of 45 
military power, raises 
militarization by 10
