DIvided Attention civic reduces empire size from planets by 50%, its almost like 10% reduction from pops in terms of actual size, unless you wish to paint whole galaxy with your mind... but still, pops reductions will do more. The biggest thing here is that you can get free colonies with ascension perk to this civic, and waste 25% reduction from expansion tradition.
And yeah, i hate this effect, for me it makes nothing as a civic... but its not about me, it can have its niche.
Tho my suggestion is to make this civic a little more viable. Im not buffing its effect, but add another effect that will not scale up with current one.
New effect is fitting thematically to mind that can easly turn its attention to something else, and makes empires with that civic turn into two different way.
Currently it encourage empire to be bigger and bigger, wider and wider with reduced empire size.
New effect:
"No Loyalty loss from multiple subjects", will encourage empire to have as many subjects as it can.
This is no straight buff to civic, but it increase its viablility
