Regional capital distances

[BedlamBetty]

I understand regional capitals need to be a certain distance apart, but how far is that distance?
The description seems to imply a different distance with each government type. If that is the case, how many tiles distance must they be with each govt type? It would be appreciated to have this information as I am now at the stage of strategic regional placements to reduce corruption (I already 3 regional capitals at the moment)
Thank you

Yes that is correct.

Well, I can tell you that but one or two tiles should not really matter when considering regional capitals.
You create regional capitals to fight higher corruption not to have them as close as possible. Due to the fact that this limitation (minimum distance between regional capitals) also affects the actual corruption increase with distance, there is no real reason to think it through that much in advance.

• Monarchy 13
  
• Aristocracy 15
  
• Democracy 18
  
• Republic 16
  
• Empire 18
  
• Despotism 13
  
• City state 11
  
• Clan 8

But again, these values should not really matter and are kind of hidden for a reason.

Go to the captiol tab on the Strategy page and you can quickly see on the map which cities can be made regional captiols.

Yes, that was not my question, as I said, I have 3 regional capitals already.

Actually, there is.
A govt change can be implemented and you build your regional capitals and flip back to the govt requiring greater distance between capitals and retain created regional capitals.
I noticed that my empire required more distance than my republic, but without the data I couldn't realise which govt to implement to setup the capitals before bouncing back to an empire or democracy
