In the Mexican event that creates Maximilian (14806), the action text reads the following:

action_a = {name = "ACTIONNAME14806A" # A Victory for the Reaction!
command = { type = pop_militancy which = 100 value = -2 }
command = { type = pop_consciousness which = 100 value = -2 }
command = { type = constitution which = monarchy }command = { type = executive_designation which = hms_government }
command = { type = party_system which = multi_party }
command = { type = national_value which = order }
command = { type = force_ruling_party which = reactionary }

What are those first two commands doing?

Should they read 10 instead of 100?

Why does the Emperor of Mexico event REDUCE militancy? Shouldn't it INCREASE it?

Wouldn't the people be more likely to revolt if they were being ruled by a foreign monarch imposed by an outside power?

Plus, I have no idea what that Benito Juarez throws out the foreigns event is supposed to do, but it is triggered by this event. How can Juarez throw out the foreigners if Maximilian is in power and if that is the simulation of the end of Maximilian's reign, why doesn't it end the satellite relationship with France?

Well, second point first - this is already logged as a bug.

From event commands.txt

type = pop_militancy which = [religion/culture/ideology/workforce/cultural_majority/cultural_minority/religious_majority/religious_minority/X] value = Y where = [prov id] # If no where field is specified the change is for all states. X is a percentage of the total POPs. The "where" field affects whole State of prov id.
type = pop_consciousness which = [religion/ideology/culture/workforce/cultural_majority/cultural_minority/religious_majority/religious_minority/X] value = Y where = [prov id] # If no where field is specified the change is for all states. X is a percentage of the total POPs. Prov id affects the whole state. The "where" field affects whole State of prov id.

So which = 100 means all the pops.

Re the -2 militancy and -2 consciousness. My only guess is that is trying to simulate temporary advantage gained by severe repression / martial law. You get a similar bonus for brutally crushing revolts on the POPs concerned if they rebel.
 
Sorry for the redundancy.

I think the event would make more sense if it increased militancy and consciousness.

I've never seen Mexico suffering from revolts before or after the Maximilian events.
