Update: 2 May, 2024 @ 1:42pm

Depression JE Balance
- Somewhat reduced the effect of GDP Growth on Recovery Progress in a Depression.
- Somewhat increased the effect of Market Confidence on Recovery Progress in a Depression.
- Decreased the minimum values on monthly progress from Growth and Confidence from -0.1, to -0.25.
- Decreases in Depression effects start more slowly, and accelerates at 60 recovery progress.

Depression JE Events
- Added bankruptcy events for unprofitable and unsubsidized industries and farms with low cash reserves that can destroy buildings. If you have Traditionalism, Laissez-Faire or Agrarianism (latter with the exception of farms), there is no way to avoid destruction of unprofitable industries from the event. Farms, Tertiary Industry, Light Industry and Heavy Industry can be hit.
- Added an event for a ripple effect from Depressions if a customs union leader, or a junior partner with a GDP of 20+ million, experiences a depression. This reduces market confidence in all other partners, and reduces relations with all of them by 20.

Business Cycle Balance
- Maximum Volatility per month from Construction Sectors set to +1 per month, from +2 per month.
- Maximum Volatility per month from Financial Sectors set to +1 per month, from +2 per month.
- Maximum Volatility per month from Industrialization set to +0.5 per month, from +1 per month.
- Changed how Market Confidence from debt works: if debt is below 25% of the maximum, it has no effect on Market Confidence. If debt is between 25-50% of maximum, it has a small effect on Market Confidence. The malus increases dramatically once debt is above 50% of the maximum, to a maximum of -2 per month at around 85-90% debt.

Tertiary Sector

Interest Group Ideology Change

- Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden and Spain start with Industrialists already supportive of Laissez-Faire and Free Trade.
- The Protectionist ideology for Industrialists supports Interventionism and Protectionism over Laissez-Faire and Free Trade, but on other issues have the same views.
- A Journal Entry will convert the Industrialists to support Laissez-Faire and Free Trade with a high level of industrialization, high GDP, an average SoL above 10 and the Business Cycle journal entry active.
- If Business Cycles have been turned off in game rules, the journal entry checks if the Industrialists have a Market Liberal leader instead of relative industrialization.
- For the USA, the journal entry also requires the Mississippi Compromise to no longer be in force.
- Will not retroactively apply to existing saves.

History
- Britain, the Netherlands and Norway start with Central Bank laws.
- Qing starts with the Merchant Banks law.
- Qing starts with a modifier: Piaohao which increases maximum Financial Centres that can be built in a state and output of Financial Services. This modifier is lost if the Qing enact a different Banking System.
- Qing starts with the Currency Standard technology researched.

Other
- The Plight of the Serfs journal entry is now also advanced by the popularity of Land Reformer and Agrarian Socialist agitators.

Update: 30 Apr, 2024 @ 3:40pm
