A quick rundown of functionality of government mechanics:
Fraternity mechanic and Ukazy:
Fraternity is a power for Kievan Government gained from the Udiel Vassal subjects of Kiev. It is used to pass Ukazy (a type of reform that gives bonuses to all the Rus members, similar to Imperial Reforms in HRE). By completing the last (nineth) reform you can reunite Rus as one country.
Udiel Vassals:
Udiel Vassals are vassals unique to Kiev, that join every Kievan war but have a bigger liberty desire (don’t worry it’s not overpowered). They act like a vassal, but you can demand tribute from them, and can’t annex (annexing possible only by copleting the 9th Ukaz).
Schism of Rus:
Schism of Rus is a disaster focused around the split of Rus to a Ruthenian Part and the Muscovite path. It can begin by Kiev having a disloyal subject in the region of Russia. At the start of the disaster you can choose to surender or to fight the Muscovites in a war. The disaster ends either by surendering, winning the war, or losing the war.
Mechanics for Rus:
Rus tag has following government mechanics: Prikazy (different from Ukazy) and special factions. Prikazy consists of three interactons: a military, a diplomatic and an administrative interaction giving particular bonuses. Factions are: Smerds, Zakups and Kholops.
Europe Provinces:
Over 25 new provinces in Europe including some more wastelands to improve the playing experience. Most of the mainland provinces of Europe have been redrawn.
