Political Power & Living Standard Rebalance

I started making this prior to the 3.8.4 update which rebalanced living standard political power and how it interacts with faction unity gain, this update massively improved the system but still left room for improvement. A lot of inspiration taken from Tsundak’s “Balanced Political Power Plus”, credit to them for doing something like this first - this is just my personal take working around the new vanilla numbers.

Tying political power just to living standards is a flawed system that creates weird edge cases, such as Basic Subsistence rulers still having more political power than Utopian Abundance rulers. Offloading some of political power to authority helps manage the balance, and creates a distinction between something like “Decent Conditions” under a democracy as opposed to “Decent Conditions” in an dictatorship

Feedback welcome on the balance
