What happens when a government collapses?

[MattyG]

Government collapses occuers when the rebels control more provinces that the country. Certain things occur at that point, some of which I am aware of, but possibly not all.

1. The rebels disappear.

2. Foreign-controlled provinces cede to the controller.

Beyond this, I am not positive.

It appears that the monarch's stats go down, but which, by how much and for how long I am not certain.

Does anyone know other effects? Is there a known list anywhere?

Thanks.

Monarchs stats become 2/2/2 regardless of previous values (so if he was 2/1/2 or similar, collapsing the government will actually increase his values).

One also get -100 victory points.

Can't remember anything more to add at the moment. It may be something in the FAQ.

Yes, it is.

There are several effects:

• Mass revolts - all rebel-controlled provinces revolt. Unlike a normal revolt, there's no minimum time requirement for rebel occupation, and the new nations receive their "extra" provinces regardless of adjacency. Note that these revolts may move the capital to some other province, which may be any owned province regardless of who has control.
• Peace is forced - a peace treaty is "signed" with every belligerent nation. They receive ownership of any provinces they control, except the capital province. They pay 2 badboy points per province gained. There is no badboy reduction for the collapsed government.
• Return of government control - any remaining provinces are returned to control of the collapsed government.
• Rebels go into politics - all rebel armies vanish if they are occupying a province which has returned to government control.
• Stability restored - the stability of the collapsed government is set to +3.
• Monarch is reset - the monarch of the collapsed government has his skills decreased to 3/3/3. This lasts until he dies.

Thank you.

I had somehow never seen that in the FAQ before.
