- - - - consumer goods factories- less expensive
      - industrial goods factories more expensive
- - - - processed material
        
        assembly
        
        consumer goods
    - - refined material
        
        industrial goods
  - - - this could affect a bunch of different stuff, how fast things can get built, the cost of building things. just laying claim to territory taxes it
    - - this is rolled against the value of the opposing intelligence effectiveness value, a few outcomes possible
        
        success: some portion of information is revealed to the attacker
        
        where their active spies are located, leader assassination attempts
        
        maybe can specify that the spy should steal technology? then you get a one time boost to your tech dependent on the gap between the values
        
        soft fail: attacker fails to gather info but escapes. no info revealed to attacker
        
        hard fail: spy is captured by defender
        
        imprisoned spy choices
        
        execute
        
        repatriate
        
        turn- this is only available if theres a friendly spy deployed to a building being spied on
    - - measure of the amount of control an actor has over a square of territory. this is mostly referring to rule of law type stuff
        
        ways to create
        
        soft power projection
        
        social services: very expensive. returns that diminish on a per-territory basis- ie a foreign actor doesn't get highly rewarded for providing services in an area that already is being provided services. effectiveness scales with bureaucratic efficiency
        
        propaganda: effectiveness scales with popularity
        
        hard power projection
        
        enforcement: cheaper than social services, lowers popularity if used in excess
        
        subversion: expensive, effectiveness scales with bureaucratic efficiency and intel effectiveness. lowers popularity if used in excess, but threshold is across the board higher than enforcement and will raises with intel effectiveness
    - - measure of the public opinion of an actor
        
        ways to create
        
        social services give popularity
        
        groups that formally lay claim to an area in which the established actor has a low popularity will get the rest of the popularity as a bonus over time
        
        we prevent incentivizing everyone laying claim to everything immediately by requiring an office in the territory (resource expenditure) as well as a costly beaurocratic efficiency cost
        
        having a low popularity in an area you control will make insurgencies more likely to spawn
    - - building research facilities and funding them affects the rate at which the technology coefficient increases
        
        spend resources & time to upgrade existing resource facilities, cost & time scales with the coefficient and bureaucratic efficiency
- - - - states
        
        a state's goal above all is to maintain control over the territory they govern. individual motivations of states may differ. pursuing an expansionist agenda is equally as possible as a more multilateral alliance-building type
      - corporations
        
        the goal of the corporation will be to extract profit at increasing rates.
        
        ways of modeling the growth imperative
        
        tendency of rate of profit to fall?
        
        corporations have shareholders that will liquidate the company if growth falls too low
        
        or, just have the only way to get anything done in the early game be to take out loans at ridiculous interest rates, keeping the player "on the hook"
