How to Increase Authority (Laws)

The three major Capacities in Victoria 3 are Bureaucracy, Influence, and Authority. The Authority capacity denotes the power you have over internal changes and decisions of the country. These decisions may include the issuance of decrees, interest groups management, and tax collection.

All countries start at the base value of Authority. The best way of increasing Authority is to enact specific laws, which give the players a straight Authority increase. The laws which give the people more freedom, generally are detrimental to your Authority stats.

For eg. enacting laws for a wider distribution of voting power, or anything which is Libertarian in nature. Below are the laws which affect Authority directly. Make sure to keep a healthy balance in your country!
