A government is the system that rules characters and their titles. It determines the laws available to a character as well as any obligations (taxes and levies) a vassal may have to their liege. Governments can only be changed via decisions or by inheriting a realm of higher title rank. Governments are divided into three types:

• Landed governments require the character to own landed titles. If a player character loses all their landed titles, they must choose to play as another dynasty member or receive a game over but if the  Roads to Power DLC is installed, they will have the option to choose between doing that or changing government to Adventurer.
• Domicile governments give their house heads or potentially all rulers a domicile, which allows a player to play as them even if they do not own landed titles. If a ruler changes their government to a landed one, their domicile is sold for  Gold, all title men-at-arms are removed, and if their government used  Treasury or  Herd they are converted to  Gold as well.
  •  Celestial Governments function based on the title Hegemony of China, and have access to Dynastic Cycle mechanics. See Celestial for more information.
  •  Meritocratic Governments are similar to Celestial. See Meritocratic.
  •  Meritocratic Khanate Governments are similar to Meritocratic. See Meritocratic Khanate.
  •  Ritsuryō Governments are special administrative government type for Japanese rulers. See Ritsuryō .
  •  Sōryō Governments are special feudal government type for Japanese rulers, but they have access to Domiciles. See Sōryō.
• Non-dynastic governments do not use dynastic succession and as a result are not playable. When a character with a non-dynastic government dies another random character will inherit all titles.

Landed governments

Tribal

Tribal governments have access to the Tribal Authority law, unlock Subjugate and Conquest casus belli, and can start a Co-Monarchy. All tribal rulers can raid unless their faith forbids it and gain 100 more  Prestige when they win a battle. However, they cannot construct holdings or use innovations beyond the Tribal Era. Tribal rulers can only use the Confederate Partition succession law but unlock the Challenge the Ruler decision. Tribal rulers have access to an inferior Royal Court.

Development only affects the Supply Limit and does not passively grow in counties ruled by a tribal ruler. Tribal baronies only provide half of their supply limit to armies belonging to other governments.

Tribal governments have the following unique effects:

• Tribal rulers pay for men-at-arms using  Prestige instead of  Gold.
• Tribal rulers cannot imprison vassals or courtiers without passing level 2 Tribal Authority.
• Tribal vassals provide taxes and levies based on the Liege's Level of Fame.
• −50% Title creation cost.
• +0.2 monthly  Prestige.
• −20  Opinion with vassals that do not have  Tribal,  Wanua or  Nomadic government

Feudal

Feudal governments can create new holdings and cadet branches, have access to the Crown Authority law, can apply Title Succession laws and can start a Co-Monarchy.

Clan

Clan governments can create new holdings and cadet branches and have access to the Crown Authority law. All powerful vassals will want to be in an Alliance with their liege and will gain -30  Opinion of their liege if they are not. When clan rulers are at peace, they can appoint a Vizier.

If a clan ruler is a Dynasty Head, their realm will be named after their dynasty rather than the primary title.

Tax Jurisdictions

Tax Jurisdictions

Clan governments collect taxes and levies from vassals with the same government type by creating Tax Jurisdictions and assigning vassals to them. Tax Jurisdictions are accessible via a sidebar tab only available to Clan governments, or from the bottom of the Realm sidebar, on the Vassals tab. Every jurisdiction can handle up to 12 taxpayers, and each jurisdiction requires a  Tax Collector. Count and Duke rulers can appoint 1  Tax Collector while King and Emperor rulers can appoint 2. Cultures with the Enlightened Magnates or Legalistic tradition can each appoint an additional one, as can dynasties with the first Brilliance legacy. A Vizier, depending on its Stewardship score, can grant from 1 additional  Tax Collector to 5. Two Innovations, Magistrates and Court Officials, also each grant an additional one. First perk from Avaricious stewardship lifestyle tree - Golden obligation also grants one 1  Tax Collector. Only unlanded courtiers can be appointed as  Tax Collector. How much taxes and levies a Tax Jurisdiction provides depends on the  Tax Collector's aptitude, which is the following:

• +1 per  Diplomacy (max 50)
• +1 per  Martial (max 50)
• +1 per  Stewardship (max 50)
• +1 per  Intrigue (max 50)
• +2 per  Learning (max 50)
• +5 per 20  Opinion
• +10 if  Just
• +10 if  Administrator
• +10 if  Avaricious
• +10 if  Diplomat
• +15 if culture has the Enlightened Magnates tradition
• +20 if culture has the Family Business tradition
• -10 if vassal

Average (45-74)	6%	12%
Good (75-109)	12%	24%
Excellent (110+)	20%	40%

Each Tax Jurisdiction has a Tax Decree, which determines what all vassals assigned to the jurisdiction pay. Each Tax Decree can only be changed once every 5 years and the menu will show current taxes and levies and taxes and levies should the Tax Decree be changed. Existing vassals will be removed as taxpayers if the new Tax Decree does not allow them.

House unity

Impassive house unity

If a House Head has Clan government, then its house will have an additional mechanic called House Unity, representing how well members of a house tend to get along with each other. It will be displayed for all house members but only those who have Clan government will be affected by its effects. House Unity is increased by taking Unifying Actions towards them and decreased by taking Divisive Actions towards them. House Heads also gain access to the Extol Virtuousness and Accuse of Decadence interactions with other house members as well as the Steer House Unity decision.

Unifying actions	Divisive actions
Extol Virtuousness Abandon hook Ask to join holy order Gift artifact Negotiate alliance Offer guardianship Offer to join war Pay ransom Stop vassal war Restore inheritance Swear oath of true friendship Sponsor inspiration	Accuse of Decadence Blackmail Break betrothal Claim liege title Declare war Expose a secret Force to join faction Imprison Join independence faction Move to dungeon Revoke title Denounce Disinherit Accuse of violating sumptuary law

House Unity ranges from 0 to 200 and is divided into 5 levels. All house members who use multiple heirs succession are forced to use the succession law with the same name.

• House Abbasid starts at Antagonistic
• House Samanid starts at Competitive
• House Afrighid starts at Friendly
• House Tahirid starts at Harmonious
• House Umayyad starts at Harmonious
• Custom characters replacing any of these houses will inherit their House Unity

Mandala

Mandala governments can create new holdings and cadet branches and ask rulers to become tributaries willingly, and unlock the Capital Temple Complex and Capital Temple Complex Upgrade great projects. They also have access to the Decree law but the only succession available is Mandala Succession. They cannot build or upgrade Temple holdings but can build and upgrade Temple Citadel holdings instead. Dynasty Heads with Mandala government also unlock the Divine Aspirations legacy track.

Rulers with Mandala government have 8 levels of  Legitimacy and are affected the same way regardless of their primary title rank. They also inherit the Level of Devotion of their predecessor and can reach the final three Levels of Devotion if their predecessor had the highest Level of Devotion they could reach and died of natural causes or religion and they also unlock the Raze Capital Temple Complex casus belli against each other. However their  Domain is limited to 4.

Every ruler with Mandala government has a Mandala Radiance value, which depends on their Level of Devotion, level of aspect, perks, whether they are independent or not, and number of Capital Temple Complex buildings and decreases with distance from the capital. Mandala Radiance affects the acceptance of other rulers to become tributaries. If the Capital Temple Complex building in the realm capital is ruined, Mandala Radiance will be set to 0.

Creating titles with Mandala government requires a sufficient  Piety and Level of Devotion: 500 and Faithful for  Duchy, 2500 and Devoted Servant for  Kingdom, 5000 and Religious Icon for  Empire.

Only rulers with a faith that has the  Polytheist main doctrine can have Mandala government. If they convert to a faith with the  Monotheist main doctrine, their government is changed to Feudal. They must also belong to a culture with one of the following cultural heritages:

Austronesian, Tai, Mon Khmer, Viet, Indo Aryan or Burman.

Every house head with Mandala government can choose a Mandala Aspect, which can be upgraded every 5 years up to 4 times once the aspect's upgrade requirements are met. The aspect can be changed at the cost of 500  Piety but this will reset it back to level 1. If the aspect is upgraded to its maximum level, upon succession the heir will receive the option to automatically pass the Mandala Succession trial challenge from the current aspect.

• Level 2 aspects cost 250  Prestige and 1000  Piety and requires the  Pilgrim trait to have at least 25 experience
• Level 3 aspects cost 500  Prestige and 2500  Piety and requires the  Pilgrim trait to have at least 50 experience
• Level 4 aspects cost 1000  Prestige and 5000  Piety and requires the  Pilgrim trait to have at least 75 experience
• Level 5 aspects cost 2000  Prestige and 10000  Piety and requires the  Pilgrim trait to have maximum experience

Wanua

Wanua governments have access to the Tribal Authority law, unlock Subjugate and Conquest casus belli, and can start a Co-Monarchy. Wanua rulers can sail in major rivers, can raid unless their faith forbids it, and gain 100 more  Prestige when they win a battle. However they cannot construct holdings or use innovations beyond the Tribal Era, can only use the Confederate Partition succession law, and have a starting maximum domain limit of 2. Wanua rulers have access to an inferior Royal Court. Dynasty Heads with Wanua government also unlock the Divine Aspirations legacy track.

Wanua rulers gain access to the  Barter Goods resource, which is used to pay for men-at-arms maintenance. They also unlock the ability to raise their armies as Barterers, which can travel to other rulers' countries to convert  Barter Goods into  Gold at a 2:1 ratio. Hovering over a county while a Barterer army is selected will display how much  Gold will be obtained and its cost in  Barter Goods and hovering over an army that is bartering will display how long will it take for the conversion to be finished. How much will be bartered depends on the size of the army. Barterer armies can be attacked by Raiding armies and if they are defeated the Raiding army will take their Loot. Bartering will give the county the Recently Bartered modifier for 5 years, which prevents further bartering and gives the following bonuses:

• +10% Holding Taxes
• -10% Building Construction Time
• +0.3 Monthly Development
• Cannot be raided

Development only affects the Supply Limit and does not passively grow in counties ruled by a wanua ruler. Wanua baronies only provide half of their supply limit to armies belonging to other governments.

Wanua governments have the following unique effects:

• Wanua rulers cannot imprison vassals or courtiers without passing level 2 Tribal Authority.
• Wanua vassals provide taxes and levies based on the Liege's Level of Fame.
• −50% Title creation cost.
• +0.2 monthly  Prestige.

If the DLC is not installed, all Wanua rulers will use Tribal government.

Non-dynastic governments

If a player selects a Herder character to play, government will automatically become  Nomadic when the game starts.

Government	Requirements	Tithe as vassal
Republic Towns are ruled by the privileged citizens of the burgher class, among whom one is chosen as mayor. While the mayor has significant influence, they depend on popularity to be re-elected.	City holding as realm capital	20% Taxes and 10% Levies
Theocracy In a theocratic government, all authority belongs to a religious institution. It is ruled by a priest or priestess who carries out the will of the divine on Earth.	Theocratic Clerical Tradition doctrine Temple holding as realm capital	10% Taxes and 10% Levies if different faith Taxes and Levies based on the liege's level of devotion if same faith
Holy Order The holy warriors of the orders have dedicated their life to fighting infidels and serving their faith. They may hold castles given to them by pious landholders. The order leader is chosen within the order ranks.	Holy Order title	Can hire their armies for free
Mercenary Company Mercenary companies roam the lands in search of employment, and take up arms for the highest bidder. Loyalty is essential to a good reputation, but it only lasts until the end of their contract. The mercenary leader is chosen from within the company's ranks.	Mercenary title
Herder Herders do not concern themselves with any aspects of rulership. They tend to their flock, and just their flock.	Steppe herder	Other rulers cannot use the Demand Pastureland interaction

Realm Priests receive vassal income at a rate of 25% from Realm Priests belonging to their liege's direct vassals. They also provide up to 50% of their income from directly-controlled churches and their vassal priests to their feudal liege, scaled based on opinion.
