The way I interpreted this mechanic, decrees would be simply a way for the executive to bypass the legislative, with the actual process involving goods, money and pops still being the same as if done by law, which would be appropriate for more authoritarian governments, but after discussing it a bit in another thread and re-reading some developer's comments, it is actually not clear at all that this will be the case.
This particular line here worries me to no end:
So, in the example given in the DD, how exactly does "road maintenance" work there?
It was mentioned that there is a way through decree using authority and other ways will come later, but what is the actual process?
Do you need pops to maintain that road, do they use any good (like basic tools, which is apparently a good we will have in the game), and who's paying for those goods and wages?
I seriously hope the process isn't simply "spend authority" -> "roads maintained", with the head of state summoning good roads from the ether, I really don't want to derail this topic into yet another mana discussion, but this would seem exactly like the sort of thing EU4 would do.

it's a decree (one of many different types) issued in a state to its population, and doesn't cost the government anything other than the Authority to ensure its people are following its directives.
