Flourishing under regency strategies

[Ketch]

I seem to be spending a large amount of time constrained by regency following Reapers Due.

What are you strategies* for a flourishing dynasty in these circumstances?

*(assuming that you cannot direct the regent towards a pleasant, landless, same-culture courtier with a passion for stewardship)

On top of assigning crown focus, you can set your steward to construction, marshal to train troops and chaplain to research culture, and each of these will have events to boost a province's prosperity. Whether in regency or out, triple-teaming them in one location will help it flourish faster.

That's on top of your spymaster's successful tech steals adding prosperity to your capital, though at least with the other three you can direct their prosperity boosts elsewhere.

 

[Olligarchy]

Generally speaking just don't cock-up by having an ambitious douche as a regent and everything should go swimmingly.

It would appear I've taken "flourishing" too literally
To survive and have a successful regency: marry off all your brothers/sisters/etc to your vassals. Especially your large vassals. If your father was a horny goat, you should already have most of your siblings married off, or at least betrothed off. That alone will gain you non-aggression pacts with all your important vassals, preventing them from joining factions. No factions, no need to worry about keeping vassals happy. Plant your chancellor on whichever one you somehow couldn't get a pact with, load up your council with skilled councilors (since you no longer need to devote those slots to keeping people happy), and just watch the income roll in till you turn 16.

 

[Kumicho]

Always make your wife the regent, so that she can become regent when you die and her son takes over.
Immediately send a gift to your regent, and give him/her an honorary title.
Beyond that I've got nothing. You used to be able to marry your regent away if he/she hated you, but I think that they've changed that.
