How to increase absolutism and administrative efficiency?

[Vin]

Right now I'm planning for world conquest, but to gain more provinces only with less wars, I need to increase my absolutism and administrative efficiency. Now I've used Diplomatic and Administrative ideas but my absolutism and administrative efficiency are still low. How do I increase those? Thanks!

Admin efficiency is unlocked by tech. You can also get a few points from some national ideas and mission, but not all countries have such a bonus.

Absolutism only comes into play in the early 1600's when the age of absolutism starts. That mechanic doesn't exist before that point. You may have to give up some estate privileges and switch around some reforms to get max absolutism to 100 (or a bit higher as a buffer for temp modifiers). The value itself starts at 0 and you can rause it by stuff like lowering autonomy and usung harsh treatment

What year is it? You can't gain absolutism before the age of absolutism, in the 1600s. There's a lot of things you can do to get it up, there are yearly changes from government reforms and era effects, if you hover over the absolutism in your government tab you can see how it can get increased by stuff like boosting legitimacy, harsh treatment on rebels etc.

Year is 1645 as Korea. I'm planning to conquer Qing with less wars. Thanks I'll boost my legitimacy!

Thank you! I just knew about harsh treatment can increase it

Do I understand you correctly that you are trying to do a world conquest as Korea, but you haven't even conquered China in 1645? It seems you are very late for that. There are ways to get cores in china just by occupying provinces which can greatly speed up the conquests in china.

For absolutism I would recommend to look for some guides. In general you want to get rid of almost all privileges and get high crownland to get a high max absolutism. And possibly you want to fire the court and country disaster to get an extra boost of +20 max absolutism. But you need to end the disaster with 65 absolutism to get that boost and the disaster itself has a -20 max absolutism penalty.

How do I fire the court and country disaster?

You can see the conditions in the tooltip for the disaster in the stability tab. But I would recommend checking out some guide. Or at least read the wiki.

A good way to speed up absolutism increase is to reduce autonomy and using harsh treatment against rebels that represent low development.
