Bonus for Protectionism: +x% state construction efficiency (to stimulate internal growth)

update?

@Adil3r, Yeah, you a right. So making mercantilism more export base is manageable, but i dont know why modifer the game gives me to use to make protectionism more to what it should do.

They both want to expand exports, mercantilism is based on generating the maximum positive trade balance by exporting your colonial products to other countries and importing as little as possible, and protectionism is meant to protect domestic industries from foriegn competition and making them internationally competitive. Ideally the game would let you have different tarriffs by law for agriculture or industry.

@Adil3r, Mercantilism and Protectionism wants to limit trade, not extend it. So, i think it makes no sense to add a bonus on import or export. It maybe makes sense for free trade. Im also thinking about ways to buff protectionism. It seem weak right now, but it was also weak in real life.

I think trade laws shouldn't change throughputs or inputs, but maybe they could have the same "+10 exports" system that you see in that event about food shortages, and maybe mercantilism could increase the payment that puppets pay you, as well as making trade centers in unincorporated states have higher throughput or lower costs.

@Adil3r im gonna think about proper implementation. It is a good idea.

Maybe appointed officials should give the government more legitmacy or clout by default?

Good choice on elected officials making votes more effective.
