I can't quite understand the rating system of eu3, cause venice cot is worth 1246 duncats and it has 3 economy score? Why? So if anyone knows how the rating system works please share your knowledge.
what system is used to rate military,economy, and diplomacy with 1-5 stars?

I think it's to do with the state of the country's budget, not their CoTs. So their score might be lower if they're spending huge amounts on the military, for example. From what I've seen you have to be at least a regional power to get five stars, so unless your Venice is much larger than it usually is, that's unlikely.
So um how does economy and diplomacy scored? I guess your theory on military could be right, but I haven't tested.
I was talking about the economy. I believe it's weighted on how your budget is balanced (net income) in which costs such as the military are important (upkeep is usually the biggest single cost), and also gross income (how much money your country is bringing in overall before costs are deducted). Since to get a high gross income you'd need to either have many provinces or control most of the trade, you'd probably need to be quite powerful to get five stars. I suspect also that the scoring is relative, so you'd need to be either the highest in the world or close behind to get five stars.
Military probably just depends on size of army/navy and land/naval tech level. Diplomacy I don't really know - I assume it's to do with alliances/vassals/PUs, and maybe prestige too, but I'm not sure.
This is mostly conjecture though from personal experience - someone more in the know might be able to explain it better, if they haven't all vanished to the EUIV forum...
I have done a little experiment. I was the Chimu, got westernized and gave my self 72 land tech. I edited the buildings in the game to give me 100k troops per upgrade. I got my self a whopping 406K army and the best quality troops in the whole world. Then I saved and resigned, looking at the save game, I was a 2 star military? I later found out that your supposed to get land... a lot of land. So the number of your troops is partial to the rating.
Economy is a little screwed up. I was Venice, and was adding new nations to my cot, over the course of 70 years, my cot has grown substantially(956 to 1584)! So I saved and resigned, and I got 4 stars economy? I later found that the economy is partially adding the factor of "how fast your economy is growing".
