The economy need a major fix (not that the economy alone need a fix) but I'm afraid the fix won't please me.
In 1836, all the pre-industrialized economy should be working correctly, be able to wage war and colonize (a little) if they want. Hell, it's been done since the 15th century !
But they should become less and less competitive (economically and military)compared to the more industrialyzed one. It should be very progressive however. In 1853-56, GB could not have done any arm to Russia (except to its navy) without the French army. In 1914, there were still far more peoples in the country than in the city in France (until after WWII actually), yet it was as technically advanced as Great Britain? Germany or the United State, had the money to pay a huge bill to Germany in 1871 (a bill designed to ruin her, she nevertherless repayed it quicker than anyone expected), and didn't lose WWI in 6 weeks.
The industrialisation of the world in the 19th century wasn't like the one in USSR between 1923 and 1941. The whole "convert POP" concept is completely ahistorical. If anything, it should be harder to convert peasan to craftmen, and still far harder to convert them to clerk.
To make it short, I'm afraid that the fixing of 1.02 will make industrialisation easier and quicker, while it should be harder but far less vital (with consequence later rather than sooner).
