National Value

Is there a way to change it in the game and does it really do anything?

You can design events to change your National Value, or edit it in the save file. I *believe* the effects are...

Order - -10% time to researching Army/Navy techs

Liberty - -10% time to researching Culture/Industry/Commerce techs

Equality - A discount on social/political reforms.

The wiki also mentions elsewhere that your National Value will change the political leaning of your clergy.

Thank you.

Your NI changes if you get one of the revolutions due to rebels occupying your capital for long enough, or your whole country.
