Political Influence is one of the most important currencies in the game and is used by a vast number of government actions. It is spent by the state to obtain various bonuses and perform actions affecting it.
Political influence is generated by the officials in the government based on their loyalty to the state. Every 4 points of loyalty generate +0.01 point of political influence up to a maximum of +0.25 at 100 loyalty. It is thus important to keep your officials happy.
Country rank also affects political influence generation. Being a regional power increases your generation by +25%, each rank above increasing by 25% in turn, up to +75% as a great power.
On the other hand, the rulers' corruption reduces the generation of political influence at a rate of -1% per 2% corruption, up to a maximum of -50%.
High agressive expansion (above 50) also reduces its gain by -1% per each 10 AE over 50. (So 100 AE will reduce it by -5%).
