MOD Overview
This mod enhances the administrative government system, granting players greater control over domestic politics at higher Crown Authority levels. Key improvements include:
1) Role Interaction: Allows administrative rulers to convert individual governors to feudal.
2) High Acclamation Succession: At "Administrative Crown Authority" or higher (e.g., "Centralized Bureaucracy"), rulers can designate heirs through a de facto High Acclamation succession.
3) Bureaucratic Selection Laws: At "Personnel Administration" tier or higher, county/baron-tier governors are replaced by procedurally generated appointees.
4) New Laws: Added administrative-specific levy and tax laws.
5) Tenure Limits: Introduces 20-year, 10-year, and 5-year governor Tenures.
6) Appoint Succession Adjustments: Courtiers and council members now default to participate.
7) Duchy-Level Participation: Duchy governors can now join appoint succession.
8) Merit-Based Weighting: "Examination Selection" system prioritizes appointees' skills and experience.
9) Adaptive Skill Weights: Administrative types influence skill priorities (e.g., military-focused types value martial ability).
10) Flavor Titles: Added culturally flavored titles for administrative roles.
11) Roman Culture Traditions: Integrated Greek cultural traditions from new DLCs.
12) Balance Tweaks: Adjusted numerical values for gameplay balance.

Future Plans
- More culturally flavored administrative titles.
- Interactions to lock governor types.
- True exam-based selection mechanics.
- Expanded administrative laws.
