My military slider says 3.6 for officers, 22.7 for soldiers, and 49.8 overall. 3.6 + 22.7 = 26.3. I am not at war, and I think war only doubles equipment purchases. Bug, or am I missing something?

I thought supplies were paid for from the National Stockpile, not the lower one where you feed your POPs. Or is there a third value in addition to salaries paid? This is at game start so it is easy to replicate.
I think this is actually due to low Administrative Efficiency. At low Efficiency money is misspent and lost with the effect that you have to pour more money in for the same outcome. This was a fairly recent change though, so I'm not 100% sure how it works.
Yeah, some testing confirms: At 0% admin eff you'd pay 200% for everything, at 50% 150%, at 100% 100% etc.
On a related note: State admin eff no longer affects tax income, there's just tax efficiency techs for that now.
Ah the joys of corruption due to lack of efficient administration keeping tabs on bureaucrats and their pals
That and the overall national tax efficiency, right?
On a side note, this is a great idea, and makes bureaucrats way more worth it. When tax efficiency was the main effect, it was kind of take it or leave it since often I didn't need max tax efficiency anyway. This gives another impetus to explain the growth of broad national bureaucracies.
National admin efficiency doesn't affect tax, just tariffs and how effective your social reforms are.
Oh, I see. The tooltip for "Administration" in the budget still mentions tax efficiency, FYI.
Hmm, what does state administrative efficiency affect now then? Local crime/corruption modifiers?
So it does, will report that.
Yeah, state admin seems to be just crime in that state now.
