Oh, whatever. I'll do the two noob questions, you can laugh at me if you like as long as someone answers then ;)
1. Why coastal provinces?
2. Is there anything else that number of settlements that determines how good/powerful a province is? In CK1 there was some kind of economic modifier that made some provinces (the green ones on the economic map) richer. Is that wholly replaced with the few/many settlements provinces?

1. coastal provinces grant a bonus tax modifier
2. apart from # of settlements, the only thing I can think of that will determine the power of a province is:
a) the type of holdings (e.g., more cities = more tax)
b) technology in province
c) council members boosting the province

Not exactly a tax modifier, but coastal cities can build an additional building - ports - which increase the tax income by the same amount as the one available to all cities.

Stewards only collect taxes in holdings you control directly - no increase in taxes from your barons. Likewise the Marshall only increases levy regen/size in directly controlled holdings in the province.

There is also tax modifier +25% for any city in republic that is coastal.
