Game concept
Imperial Bureaucracy
From the game's encyclopedia
Imperial Bureaucracy represents an Administrative Realms level of centralization and the general power that the Ruler wields over their Vassals.
Only the Top Liege can change Imperial Bureaucracy. Administrative Vassals use the same level as their Liege.
There are four levels of Imperial Bureaucracy:
• Decentralized Realm
• Limited Administration
• Centralized Bureaucracy
• Absolute Autocracy
Increasing Imperial Bureaucracy costs an amount of Prestige depending on Realm Size and the ruler's Learning Skill.
