If I don't mess with the province autonomy and leave it a 75% upon conquest, later when I state and core it will lower the autonomy but if I increased it to 100% it will stay there when I state and core.
Province autonomy bug or WAD?

There is a hidden value here and that is the true autonomy. This is the base line autonomy when stated.
The reason why it 75% is the region is not a state.
If it's WAD, I don't know. It's been here since they changed the oversea thing.

Basically, territories (non stated land) have a minimum autonomy of 75%. If you increase autonomy to lower unrest, the new autonomy becomes 100%. Conquered territory with autonomy lower than 75% will stay at 75% until cored, at which point the game will update the autonomy to the true value. Same goes with half core and full core. If you half core a state and increase autonomy, the new value becomes 75% and will not drop down to it's "true" value when you fully core it.
It's a stupid 'gotcha' mechanic that no one ever got around to changing. The make state, lower autonomy, unmake state trick is gamey as hell, too.
Wouldn't it be easier to make the starting autonomy 75% and have a flat autonomy reduction modifier tied to being a state?
Moot point anyway, waited in vain for Poland to shave a diplomatic relation so I could ally it. Crimea just Tribal conquest my Ass with the Ottomans. Poor Poor Trebizond can never catch a break...

Well there's not really any such thing as 'starting autonomy'. There are 3 numbers, basically: autonomy floor - this is 0% by default for a state core in a state. 75% outside of a state. Various factors can alter it. Then you have actual displayed autonomy - this is what is displayed. It will tick down monthly if you have a ticking LA source and it's not already at its floor. Then you have 'secret real autonomy' which is not displayed. This is what the province autonomy would be, if the autonomy floor were lower. This ticks down even if the displayed autonomy is already at the floor. Crucially, if you manually increase the autonomy of a province this value will be increased up to the displayed autonomy value first. That is why you should statify a province before increasing its autonomy and then unstate it again rather than just increase the autonomy on a territory.
Other important figures: when you conquer a province it will have 50 LA unless it was already higher in which case it will have the higher amount. If you had a claim on the province it will only increase to 40 rather than 50. If you had a core it won't increase at all. When you integrate a PU or annex a vassal their land will be increased to 60 LA. If you inherit a PU their LA will not be increased at all.
