If I switch from a monarchy to a republic w/ Aristocratic ideas will they change to Plutocratic?
No. You keep them and can pick Plutocratic ideas too.
Forming Prussia changes government to either Prussian or Absolute monarchy depending on whether you have RoM or not.
Iberia is a special region regaring that.
Unless you provoke it on purpose you will only create AE with Castille (PU over Aragon), France, Portugal and MAYBE the Papal state.
Usually you're stuck with 3, which isn't enough to spawn a coalition. 4 members are needed.
Feel free to fire up a quick Castille run. It's ridiculous and easy.
Full annexing Aragon would totally bring France into the coalition range, as well as minors like Provence if this is still early game and they are around. This is a move I wouldn't do. Even if I agree that Iberia is a very low AE area, just like the British Isles.

Provence, yes. But they disappear quickly and his screenshot showed sth like 1660 or later.
Either way, worst someone could get - keep in mind that this is the worst possible situation - would be Portugal, Castille, Aragon, France, Provence and Papal State.
6 nations
All of them in your direct range.
None of them can have a truce with you.
If you allied anyone amongst those mentioned AE gets halved. This can be used to throw out The Papal State, Provence and France, leaving you with 3 members. Not including aforementioned truces.
It's almost impossible to get coalitioned in that region and becomes 100% impossible once you're dragging in half the HRE after getting the vassal swarm.
It's so low, it shouldn't even be worth mentioning.

I have barely played in Iberia since the early days of 1.9 or so, where AE was really punishing, so that's probably why my memory is shaky. My first game ever ended up when France coalitionned me because I got caught up too many time fabricating claims in Tlemcen, playing as Portugal. The good old days where getting caught gave insane AE.
Important note: You can not form any nation if you are the HRE, so it should always be your final tag.

I built conscription center on ivory cost but not effect land force limit. But if i build it on iberia it effects?
In EU2 there was a way for a non-European country to westernize, which gave better units and technology advancement times. What are the necessary conditions for westernization events to fire in EU4?
Land Force limit from a province, including that added by a building, is reduced by your local autonomy. Since you most likely have 75% LA there, you are getting 75% of 1 land force limit from the building, which is why you haven't seen your number actually change since decimals are not shown.
Westernization was removed in 1.18 in favor of the institution system. The tech penalty for a country is now connected to the amount of existing institutions it hasn't embraced yet. I suggest you read the wiki page on institutions to get an overview of how the system works.
Unit type never changed and is connected to your starting area, however unlike in previous EU versions there isn't a gigantic gap between Western and other unit types, with Western becoming the strongest only in the late game and even then only by a slight margin.

There is no more westernization, so you are stuck with your units, now that everything revolves on institutions. Westernization wasn't changing your units anymore since a year or so, anyway.
They were changing your units back in the old days. And imo the gap is pretty huge lategame, which makes this change infuriating. We are talking of 15% infantry and cavalry combat ability lategame between europeans and trash groups, this is massive.
Maybe they are in a trade company? This gives -100% FL to the province, afaik, so the conscription center is usless. But you could build it anywhere that is not in a TC and get FL out of it.
The land force limit bonus from a Conscription Center is subject to the land force limit penalty from local autonomy. At a guess, your Ivory Coast provinces are assigned to a trade company, meaning they aren't in a state, meaning their local autonomy can't go below 75%, meaning that your CC only provides 0.5 LFL instead of the full 2.0.
This is not entirely true. In early versions of EU4, the Westernization process had the same "Military Modernization" feature that EU3 did (reinterpreted for EU4's design). This was ditched in something like patch 1.6 when they rebalanced all the unit groups.
That was supposed to be "never changeS", damn you autocorrect.

If I have a royal marriage with a nation, how can I "support rebels" of my dinasty for have noble revolters of my dinasty to took the throne of a foreign country?
Is there a rebel way to spread my dinasty around countries? Thanks.
Is there a rebel way to spread my dinasty around countries? Thanks.
The question is actually about this. How can I finance pretenders of MY dynasty through espionage actions?
