What use are collaboration governments over integrated puppets? I've read the wiki and the only difference I can see is that a collaboration government won't try to increase autonomy .. any thoughts on when it should be used..
Okay, just to take the discussion one step further if you annex for the resources without running the collaborations government mission first, then I take it you need to run the supervision level up past military governor?? Low compliance doesn't mean much in the way of resources..Collaboration governments give 75% of their civilian factories to their overlords, while integrated puppets only give 25%. (both types are otherwise the same and give 75% of their military factories)
You don't need to garrison your collaboration governments, you don't need to build up compliance, and you can use their manpower in colonial templates.
Anywhere an integrated puppet would be nice, a collaboration government is slightly better. The tradeoff between having high-compliance territory vs having a collaboration government really depends. If they grant a lot of resources, (say, British Malaya) I prefer them to be annexed. If they grant a lot of manpower but don't have so many resources, (say, China) I prefer a collaboration government. Anything else is hard to say.
It's all up to you!
I'm talking more from the perspective of "I have this territory with enough compliance to make it a collaboration government... do I want to?"Okay, just to take the discussion one step further if you annex for the resources without running the collaborations government mission first, then I take it you need to run the supervision level up past military governor??

If you managed to get a peace conference and annex a territory, it's almost always better to use the options which grant the greatest compliance gain. Resistance doesn't really matter while it's below 50%, and on local police or lower you should have a good 50% compliance within a year of annexation, which in most cases is going to get you the most.Okay, just to take the discussion one step further if you annex for the resources without running the collaborations government mission first, then I take it you need to run the supervision level up past military governor??

Compliance government ruins your borders... You are Poland, you wanna release germany as a compliance puppet, but they take königsberg even though königsberg is your core...
