Can someone explain admin governments' treasury mechanic?

[Forblaze]

Is a vassal either normal or military? Or all vassals are normal and some are also military? What determines a military vassal?

If I give less budget and leave a bunch unallocated, what's the real effect of this? They get less money and are therefor weaker? That seems good to me.

What determines my personal income?

When you leave a bigger part of a budget unallocated, that part, which is free, just added to your treasury. As i understood, a vassal, who gets a military part from a budget, is a vassal, who has administration type - military. The most profitable plan - to dicrease part of treasury, which you give to your vassals, to the lowest amounts, until it wouldn't be any panalties for opinion from them, and just keep the biggest part of common income in your treasury.

I run 25/30, which leaves a large portion for my own usage

In my understanding :

Your personal income is linked to your estate, a small percentage of your domain and taxes on your vassal minus your personal MAA.

Your government treasury is linked to a big percentage of your domain and taxes on your vassal, minus your title MAA and your royal court expense.

All your vassal have a treasury outcome based on your own treasury outcome, just bigger is your own treasury outcome, bigger is theirs,

The first value you can change detemine the outcome of gold for all your vassal. So i prefer keep it as low as possible (25%) because they use it for sheming and their own estate instead of developing the province economy,

The second value you can change determine a additional outcome of treasury for your military vassal. So it impact directly the military stremgh of your military vassal.

The determintion of the type of vassal is linked to the administrative type of the vassal
- Normal vassal are Balanced, Civilian and Imperial
- Military vassal are Military, Naval and Frontier

In my opinion the best stratregy is to put your border vassal as Military to protect your border, or Frontier to expand your realm, then your inner-border vassal as Civilian to growth your economy.

At the begining when i start to build the economy of my realm, i use 25/25 ratio, i don't really care to have strong vassal or not, but i want the gold for me to build my economy. Later once my empire growth larger than 160 county size and my economy is built, i want my border vassal the strongest possible, so i use 25/75 ratio.

I have to add, in my opinion don't use county or realm provinces in an administrative empire, the most efficient is to have only duchy provinces as vassal.

Do the frontier administration types cost more gold to maintain? The +150% mil base rate seems daunting. I tend to keep central vassals on civilian but I’m not sure if frontier would be a better option than military for border vassals.
