Centre of Revolution

What determines where it spawns? Is it tied to the Enlightenment institution? Because in my recent Songhai and Venice runs both Enlightenment and Revolution spawned in my lands.

In my experience since the introduction of "absolutism" concept, I have seen that countries with higher absolutism have higher chance to become centers of revolution. I don't know if there is any math formula to calculate it though

I had 30 absolutism as Venice, I guess RNG worked there.

Oh, OK. I thought it could possibly be tied to the Enlightenment institution, because I reloaded like 3 times with Songhai and every time it spawned in my country.

it prefers europe with non european provinces having a chance but much lower.

The more 30 dev provinces you have in your capital REGION, the higher the chance for it to spawn there. Maybe you have a lot of 30dev provinces in your home region? Other than that probably luck.

The wiki has a lot of information about revolutions, both in general (https://eu4.paradoxwikis.com/Revolution) and about its spawning event specifically (https://eu4.paradoxwikis.com/Center_of_Revolution_events, the first event: The Birthplace of the Revolution). The spawning province must have at least 30 development and both it and its owner must have Enlightenment (and the owner must be an independent (or tributary) great power and not the pope). There's a lot of modifiers for choosing the province if multiple provinces satisfy those conditions; a major one is the province being in Europe, so as Chairswing notes it's highly geared toward European provinces, but it may be that none of them (or too few of them, at any rate) satisfy all conditions.

That must be it, because all my Italian territories were 30+ dev by that time. I'm playing tall, so I was able to spare resources in developing my provinces.

Yeah, that explains everything. Even for the Songhai campaign, although I wasn't in Europe, I had a lot of 30+ dev provinces and enlightenment.


Thanks for the explanations, everyone!
