I don`t have a clue how to read the foreign ministers bonuses. e.g. what does "influence nation -50 (-75)" mean? What`s better, "influence nation -50 (-75) or -100 (-75)"?. i guess the former, but can someone clarify please?

If i recall correctly the number in brackets states how expensive the action regularly costs and the number without brackets states how much it costs with this specific minister in charge.

ok, thanks. so it would not seem to be possible to improve the outcome of influence nation via minister choice. what are the determinants for that? sometimes i get a "hardly influenced" and the next time "completely influenced" outcome

As I recall, when you click to influence a nation the probability of a successful attempt is displayed. I believe that's the probability of a 'completely influenced' outcome which will deliver a 20 (I think) point shift. The other results deliver lesser payoffs.
