Will lets see how many people will complain after I post this 
For forming new countries, its way to easy in many cases like Italy and Germany and the benefits for forming them are so big that if you have that option you will go for it as fast as possible. Take Italy for example all you need as say Milan is 4 other provinces and 3 of them are just one province states that would be easy to take and core and Wala! you have Italy with a CB on all of Italy region and a faster core-creation benefit with it. I know some people will say but O you need admin tech 10 to form a nation but admin tech 10 is really not all that high and will come early in game when in fact most of the formable nations in game did not even come about in the time this game takes place so plz up the admin tech you need to form the special nations or say make it so you would need half of Italy or Germany as example to do it.
Playing around for a few days now with tech and ideas and its not hard to see that Admin points are in short supply because you use them doing so much that it makes taking any idea from the Admin idea group very unappealing. Like you need to keep your Admin tech up to date to open need idea slots so why would take a Admin idea and use up your points when you have diplomatic and military ideas that are equal or better but you have more to spare to increase in that idea group.
