You're mistaken. Currently, there is no balance. In all other Paradox games, war is put on a pedestal and raised above every other gameplay mechanic to be given more attention by both the developers and the players. War is a showstopper that makes the player ignore every other gameplay mechanic, and war micro is a required action where misplay can make every other mechanic irrelevant. What's the point of economics when you can go out there and conquer more for yourself, while also harming your enemies? What's the point of diplomacy when you can out-micro every AI opponent in warfare against what should be impossible odds, and allies only serve to slow you down? What's the point of politics when you can end all internal strife by beating down all rebels in, you guessed it, warfare!
Victoria 3 is the one game that promises to rebalance these elements in a way where war is not important enough to eclipse literally everything else that you can engage in during a game.
But actually that makes sense, for example in stellaris beating all the opposition in warfare and ending all internal strife by beating down all rebels, and also in real life:

Impero Romano
Si inizia a parlare di brigantaggio già nell'antica Roma, quando a Taranto intorno al 185 a.C. avvenne un'insurrezione sociale composta perlopiù da pastori, che arrivarono a formare vere e proprie bande.[9] Per risolvere la questione, i
l pretore Lucio Postumio Tempsano attuò una dura repressione in cui furono condannati circa 7.000 rivoltosi, alcuni dei quali furono giustiziati mentre altri riuscirono ad evadere.[10] Anche Lucio Cornelio Silla prese provvedimenti contro i briganti (a quel tempo chiamati sicari o latrones)[11] con la promulgazione della Lex Cornelia de sicariis nell'81 a.C., che prevedeva pene capitali come la crocifissione e l'esposizione alle belve (ad bestias).[11]
Roman Empire
We start talking about banditry already in ancient Rome, when in Taranto around 185 BC. there was a social insurrection made up mostly of shepherds, who came to form real gangs. [9] To resolve the issue,
the praetor Lucio Postumio Tempsano carried out a harsh repression in which about 7,000 rioters were sentenced, some of whom were executed while others managed to escape. [10] Lucius Cornelius Silla also took measures against brigands (at that time called sicari or latrones) [11] with the promulgation of the Lex Cornelia de sicariis in 81 BC, which provided for capital punishment such as crucifixion and exposure to wild beasts (ad bestias ). [11]
Fine ottocento e inizio novecento
Lo Stato Italiano iniziò una lotta serrata, per arginare e debellare questo fenomeno, che si ridusse con l'inizio del Novecento.
