Randomness of Republic leader traits

[FrogCrusher]

Hi folks!
Leader traits are balanced in a way that theoretically, we have 66% chance of getting a positive one and 33% of getting a negative one.
I know that there is a high chance I'm a victim of confirmation bias. However, each time I play a Republic I'm ending up with new leader having negative traits a lot. I remember a bug with the number of monarch points of elected candidates that didn't follow the annouced randomness.
I am just curious if anyone else has that feeling of too much bad traits when playing republic. I don't have that feeling when playing a monarchy.

This is actually not confirmation bias but a result of the monarch point distribution of republics. In theory all traits are equally likely as the first trait, but modifiers and conditions apply. And here lies the issue. A lot of positive traits require the ruler to have a t least 3 adm/dip/mil. Since republican rulers start as a 4/1/1 two groups of positive traits are unavailable for them. Also some traits get additional weight when the ruler has a 6 in one skill. Since that is possible for monarchs but not for the first trait of a republican these positive traits tend to be more prevalent in monarchies (an underrated part of mamluks/austria/prussia btw).

Ok, thanks a lot. Another reason to not play replublic... I have to admit the only reason I play them is having achievements. Currently the Pskov one ^^
