Why does leverage sometimes stop generating?

[Jamey]

I'm playing the US, and I created a Trade League. I pulled in most of the Americas, and a variety of other places (as well as subjects...). In all, I'm not sure it was the best plan because of how huge my market is, but it's what I've done for this game.

For the second time, a nation has dropped out of my Power Bloc without any explanation. When I look at leverage for them, there is no competition. I seem to have just simply stopped generating leverage.

Predicted leverage is zero for my bloc.

I have a treaty that means that I should be generating leverage generously:

I have no idea what is going on, and the UI hasn't been able to help me. Is there something I am missing in the mechanics? Or is there a bug?

It looks like the treaty has invalidated (based on one half of it being greyed out) because a condition isn't fulfilled.

Last I played, this'd make sense, too, because a country can't host a power bloc embassy while already being in your power bloc. Meaning none of the other articles and associated leverage are invoked. You have to renegotiate.

I added the power bloc embassy since it leaving.

That treaty term just gets bounced out.

Besides, I should be generating some leverage even without a treaty. Instead, I have a zero leverage factor.

See Uruguay:

So, I should have at least 200 base leverage factor, not zero (interest and adjacency).

Which version of the game are you playing with, out of curiosity? In 1.9.6, invalid articles (such as a power bloc embassy for someone already in your power bloc, or guarantees if your bloc includes a defensive obligation) get taken out of treaties... Or could it perhaps be a mod?

Here's another nation that dropped out. I went back to the autosave shortly before.

I have literally zero leverage factor. Nothing I can find in the UI explains why.

This is the current treaty:

So, I should at a minimum have 500 Leverage Factor (300 from treaty, 200 from neighbor and interest). Instead I have zero.

This is my first time really playing with power blocs, and I thought I understood the mechanics. Now, I'm just not convinced.

I'm playing 1.9.6. I'm using a couple of UI mods (spreadsheets and building registry) and a mod that allows setting the public/private investment ratio. Nothing that should impact treaties or leverage.

Did you lose or change interest from corresponding strategic region?

I can check, but I doubt it. I think I’ve got a protectorate down there.

This was what caused it to happen.

The UI is very unintuitive for this...
