Fairer Blobbing – Diminishing Returns on Development
The Fairer Blobbing modification seeks to knock blobs down a peg or two by incrementally decreasing the benefits of a large development base for countries going wide (military, economic). It accomplishes this by minimally intrusive modifiers that seek to reduce the inequality between large and small, representing the historical difficulty of effectively utilizing all resources of a large empire.

Current Version: v0.3c BETA
Features:
– Incremental decrease to forcelimits based on development & province count.
– Milestone decreases (some levels implement new maluses).
– Non-intrusive method of "nerfing" blobs while benefiting players who play "tall" (no rebel spam!).
Compatibility:
– Compatible with any other modifications.
– Not possible to earn Achievements (but Ironman-compatible).
– Not recommended to be used with any other mods that "nerf" empires.
NOTE: as the author is not actively playing EU IV at this time, active development has stopped. However, the modification should still work fine with any new patch/expansion since it only adds content rather than modifies existing content. Playtesting has been done only for the relevant version, though.

Idea from Paradox forum users who suggested the implementation of diminishing returns on development as it grows to make the game more balanced without penalizing the player. The modification will eventually be expanded further.
Feedback, suggestions and criticism welcome in this early stage!
