Rulers of the period often had summer/winter palaces or retreats. In eu4, this could be a way to make concentrate development/pillage more useful medium term. E.g.
You could add other bonuses too (e.g.comparable to a parliament seat)
If you really want to go further with it - you could allow this in the capital of a PU and allow a tag switch that way (e.g. James of Scotland moving to London) - but I'm not sure the game could handle that.
- Once during a ruler's reign, they can build a residence somewhere outside the capital state
- it takes up a building slot
- cost - maybe 200 gold
- when built it makes that province the place where development goes from concentrate development/pillage
- unlike the capital, it doesn't get any specific dev bonus though
- does give a reduced cost to shifting the capital there (e.g. like the winter palace in st. petersburg - this is handled by event in game, but with this it could happen more organically)
- also gives a reduced cost to great project building in that province - somthing like 5 to 10% (ruler oversees their pet project)
- but gives an autonomy floor in the capital (e.g. 20%) to represent the ruler being away at times from the centre of administration
- also reduces max absolutism by 5 or 10 (a bit debatable, e.g. Versailles being outside Paris arguably helped increase absolutism, but from a gameplay pov it seems better to have the ruler in the capital post-absolutism)
- unavailable to hordes (basically hordes get razing, and this would balance things a little for non-hordes)
- if the province is transfered (in war/annexation), the residence is destroyed
