Nonstop rebellions

[unmerged(164087)]

Hi. I downloaded VIP and am a relative Victoria newbie, as I played a Ricky USA to ~1900 but not very well. I am now playing a game as Germany and lucked out getting the Conservative Empire event. It is not quite yet 1902 and for one I have the 5th industrial score in the world, behind both Japan and Russia. Now for most nations I understand that's pretty good, but for Germany (all of Schleswig-Holstein, core half of Alsace-Lorraine, my Austrian cores, and few Russian polish territories I got almost by accident in a war the Ottomans dragged me into) it seems pretty weak. I have the northern half of my country covered in integrated rail, and had to stop because I was falling into insane debt. But that's not even my biggest problem. Revolts have been a huge problem for ~20 years, getting a couple a month. Now I switched from the Konservative to the Nationale party in order to try and build some factories, and now I'm getting a couple every week.

Does anyone know where I can start to remedy this game?

EDIT: Note, I am a monarchy with minor social reforms and public meetings allowed. I really would prefer to not have to change into a democracy.

Under a monarchy, your pops get additional revoltrisk for each point of Plurality you have. It's pretty much impossible to avoid Plurality, so that RR is going straight up. Under Democracies, your pops lose RR as Plurality increases, and under Constitutional Monarchies Plurality has no effect.

Depending on the number of provinces you have, it may just be easier to garrison a division in every province to try and bring the RR down. You'll probably have to go to at least ConMon to get them to stop, though. Also, changing parties pisses everyone off.

Ok thanks. I'll try that.

why you say switched parties , how did you switch? Did you just select a part and switch to it or did you get a even to switch? unless you are parlimentaryism your pops get a + to Mil and Con every time you manually switch the party in power and you then start to see people switching to Facism/lib anarcist/communist/.

Also if you have a LF , expansionist , or state planned economy your capitalists will build railroads/factories in their home provinces and then expand outward.

let your capitalists do the work and let you use your money for things like turning france and the Isles grey.
