We'd have to do some econ expansion of our own then. Double Expand econ anyone?

Hmm--and just to be sure, a main (or a double main) Expand Holy Sites can only apply to one holy site, right? Not 2 (or 4), or otherwise spread out?

Well, because his position is "this tax code is a disaster and if you simplified it it would not be a disaster." Which is...true, and he probably has the math skills to back it up. Remember we've been working on a fix for three generations at this point, the chiefs who first implemented this policy are long gone.
It's because they would be the death-keel to some fundamental values of the People.
Baby boom SHOULD pay for it at present. Going to be close though.
Something like
[Main] Establish Annual Festival
[Secondary] Expand Economy
[Secondary] Expand Economy x2
Should be able to fit in a double main Holy Site expansion if the Young Stallions throw a fit.
If they don't throw a fit:
[Main] Expand Holy Site
[Secondary] Expand Economy
[Secondary] Expand Economy x2
This will give us Shitloads Of Shamans as we unlock the possible Triple Main Holy Site

Well we'll probably have a minor crisis due to the huge growth in shamans but it probably wont be a major crisis.

[X] Make Patryn heir (+1 Stability, Ends the Crisis on his terms [same as father], with a small, conditional chance of actually sorting it out as is [Heroic Admin, Exceptional Diplomacy, Mediocre War, Poor Mysticism])

If we take a stab hit from Patryn or from LoO we're probably scuppered.
M: Expand Holy Sites for -2 econ
S: Festival for -1 econ
S: Expand Holy for -1
May get us there but also note the 0 Econ midturn which will be awesome. Remember that if we fail, we need to make hard choices--yes things will be better since we've fulfilled 3 of the criteria but it's not fully and it'll still cost us resources we don't have any more.

That's not what Diplomacy is used for, and Patryn's solution is "Abandon these new systems, go back to the way it was in our grandfather's time, and stop with the whole assignment of land management through chiefs and just track via family lines", which since most people don't want that means that you're not working with him to solve the crisis.

that could ruin us if we get a bad admin roll & lose econ from the crisis before we gain econ from the baby boom
Well I suppose that would make us the Shaman King and make us even more elf like, so I see nothing wrong with that
Basically Sunk Cost. We did so much already, and don't want to waste what we done.
Do we risk it to push through and finish the last item?
Or do we fold?
Basically, it's poker. Do you want to Fold and lose 80% of your bet money, or Put your the rest of your pot in after sinking 80% if your money in this bet already?
No time. We only have one turn left. We have to hope that our provinces are more sensible than this turn. Though with the right policy they likely will be. We might even get a triple main Expand Holy Sites.

Can we make Patryn the main administration chief?
Probably not, he would have moral objections to helping with the current policy.

We managed to make the law work.
Now we need Shamans on hand to explain it to the people.
Fuck the HK as a label and as a motherfucking crew. and if you're down with the young stallions fuck you too! We hit em up!

We'd need Spirits as Policy to have a CHANCE of pulling it off.

So? Our values are, doing everything for our land and be harmonious. His desires have to take a back seat.
I support the second plan if we don't lose stability.
Remember, double main doesn't scale linearly, triple main should definitely not scale linearly.
...choose Spirits as the Policy? So we get 3 Secondary actions dedicated to it, of which one will be upgraded to a Main action.
Then we only need to make sure there's enough Economy to fund it.

But even in that event, expand holy site requires econ which the provinces won't have if we're doing 2x holy sites, correct? Barring a stunning feat of coordination with them taking 2x expand econ, 1x expand holy sites [Main].
...I really think that at this point, Patryn is our best choice. Otherwise we're looking at a tax system collapse anyway.
It's explicitly stated they would do that.
Which is why I proposed above exactly how to provide the necessary Econ for it.
And the provinces will take Econ actions if they cannot afford to build holy sites so the other provinces can afford to build holy sites.
Patryn is currently the best choice for screwing it up at the finish line.
With good luck, it merges into a 1 Main before the doubling, giving it 2 Main, 1 Secondary on top of our Main.
