Only at the start, later characters are randomly generated, thankfully

I don't know, always see mines with wooden supports in movies. So it didn't make much sense to me.

I wasn't expecting so much information and screenshots! Thanks a lot! Keep up the good work!

I seriously look forward to the first time I boot this game up, pick a country, then spend 20 minutes just clicking through every menu and pick box with delight! I’ve known about Vicky 3 since the announcement, but still feel like I’ve got to pinch myself every now and again.

Well I hope in the "Pool" of Characters after 1836 are also historically characters. Having as Prussia Bismarck as a Juncker available between 1860th and 1890th would be cool.

I find it really strange that peasants have such a huge political strength, given how we were told they'd be mostly politically inactive (iirc).

Nice it radiates a real efford is being put in this. I remain sceptical about not being able to storage certain produced goods...
But we will see how this turns out

Well even assuming their political strength value shown includes a debuff from political inactivity (it might be showing their theoretical strength not their practical strength, although I think that would be a problem on its own) Aristocrats + Clergymen, which are probably about 5% of the population but have as much political strength together as peasants who look to be about 2/3rds of the population.
Aristocrats by themselves who seem to be a tiny sliver of the population have almost a fourth of the political power. Not entirely crazy in my opinion.
Even in absolute monarchies, you couldn't just totally ignore peasant opinions.
Regardless, don't assume peasants will act as a block, they will probably be splintered in their views, and probably support traditional power structures anyway.

Is there joint production in the game? I can't think of where it would be useful other than late game fuel processing, but it'd be useful for modding.
I'm guessing that just means prices are just really high from what they used to be, not that they can't go higher. At some prices reach the 'really high' category and no matter how much higher they get there isn't a better way of describing it.
That's what came to mind as well, it won't be quite so informative if it doesn't show their de facto strength, instead showing a theoretical value.
True, but the peasants being the strongest pop politically still sounds strange to me.
Fair enough.
I wouldn't call a political strength of less than 30% relative to population huge.

Well, they are the most influential pop, so I'd say it's pretty huge.
I get that peasants shouldn't be irrelevant, but I wouldn't say they should be more influential than the aristocrats either, by a long shot.

Peasants in that chart are only the pop type with the most overall political strength because they make up 2/3 of the country. Look at the second highest political strength pop, aristocrats. They're barely a sliver on the numerical population chart. So aristocrats clearly have far, far more political strength per capita then peasants.

Which is fair, but even as a group would the peasants be more influential than the aristocracy?

I can imagine Jeff Bezos saying something along these lines

Probably? The prospect of a unified bloc of peasants makes rulers of the period tremble in a way even a noble revolt could not. But getting the majority of them unified, politically activated and angry was extremely difficult.
