Centralized Law Pack: Federalism, Land Reform, and Urbanization laws
UPDATE CLP 1.1: Added new economic laws and production methods, separating out your rural and urban economy laws.
Centralized Law Pack is a mod which adds laws regarding the centralization of your state, including Federalism, Confederation, Feudalism, Unitary, and even Warlord States, each with different effects, as well as separating your economic policies for rural and urban economies, which replaces the Economic System laws entirely. Interest Groups are also altered to support and oppose these laws.
The mod is a bit of a WIP, but works in gameplay as far as I can tell. I’m not sure how the AI will react to it, but the AI in this game is dumb enough that I don’t know it can get much worse. I have witnessed it TRYING to change the new laws, so it seems to at least understand they exist and should at some point change them, but it’s rather incompetent at it.
Countries have been edited to add these laws in, with most monarchies defaulting to Feudalism and most republics defaulting to Unitary. I’m certain I’ve missed a few of them, or have put historically incorrect laws on certain nations. Feel free to make suggestions.

Your standard of living will probably be lower than decentralized nations, good luck loser
IGs that have opinions on your centralization laws are Rural Folk, Landowners, Intelligentsia, Armed Forces, and Trade Unions. Rural Folk and Trade Unions prefer Confederations, Landowners prefer Feudalism, Intelligentsia prefer Unitary, and Armed Forces prefer Warlord States. With some variation depending on country: Landowners that have been de-monarchized instead prefer Confederations, to protect their little economic dominions, and Landowners in China have a bit more of a preference for Warlord States than in other places. Leader ideologies also heavily affect it, with communists wanting Unitary states, etc.
IGs and leader ideologies have also been changed to have differing opinions on Urbanization and Land Reform laws. Rural Folk are big fans of Smallholders, but Industrialists will fight hard for Sharecropping. Trade Unions prefer Market Socialism, but will team up with Fascist-led IGs for Corporatism in a pinch. Petite Bourgeoisie enjoy the benefits of the guild system for the middle class, but aren’t too put out by capitalism.
One day I might add more laws to this mod, like different military doctrines. I’ll probably work on it a bit as time goes on. One problem I’m sure I’ll run into is the more law categories I add, the more ideology incoherence there will be, due to having more things to disagree on. I might even be running into that now, will have to playtest more to see if legitimacy is too hard to scrounge up.
