You dont need to just build them u also gotta staff them and make sure that the production method is the latest one too. So they are more efficient.

Could be literacy problems or qualification problems from discriminated pops.

Government Admins are a bit of a trap in more populace, underdeveloped countries. What you want are techs and laws that improve Tax Capacity for free, e.g. the Appointed Bureaucrats law and Central Archives tech.

If you're playing somewhere like China or Japan, you're meant to live with enormous tax waste until you catch up technologically and socially to the western powers. Trying to fix it with thousands of bureaucrats is unproductive.

Is paper really expensive? Do you have poor laws? (Check your welfare subsidies. And watch to see how quickly they are rising.)
But yes, as said above, I think the return on investment trying to build Gov Admin is not worth it until maybe later when you have better production methods for the buildings and paper is relatively inexpensive.

You haven't mentioned if it's a result of negative tax capacity, negative bureaucracy, or if it could possibly be rebels from low SoL.

If playing japan you either turned up policy levels too far or opened your market without removing traditionalism or getting appointed bureaucrats.

The taxation system can be a bit counter-intuitive, as the actual tax law matters for certain stages of economic development and the government buildings come at a cost, so it's important to have enough positive cash flow to afford building them to begin with and understanding whether or not it's profitable to do that in a state.

Generally a state with too many people and no taxes from a lack of efficiency would cost you nothing, as long as you don't have construction offices, infrastructure (ports/railways), government administrations or universities built in it. It also means a state that does not have taxation capacity should not be built up economically/industrially over states where one can tax efficiently already.
Once the economy is well working and fully taxed in states where it was viable and saturation kicks in (from a lack of infrastructure, population or resources) one can then branch out into states where tax efficiency is low and build them up.
