And yet you can't really have the latter without the former. And then how do you determine it, other than "feels"?

The extent of state centralisation and development, the state of intellectual property rights, the expansion of the literate classes, a few other things, and the GMs arguing among themselves.

Mostly the lattermost.

I'm talking mechanically.

It makes no sense for a nation have somehow been able to achieve a high level of technology, but then suddenly in 1685 it turns out their R&D department was actually four monkeys and a typewriter all along.

What it means mechanically was they're R&D department isn't a systematized and standardized thing, but instead a patchwork quilt of exceptional individuals and their personal networks working to translate Grantville information and apply it (if they're sporadic) or they do have that but it's newly implemented and doesn't have all the kinks worked out yet (if they're Systemic)
 
The main issue I have with it right now is that it's not very simple. The Developement Levels are a good idea, but the Technological Era system is a bit hard to make sense of.

I mean, I can handle it, but I'm a spreadsheets fanatic.

I also have a gripe with the Developement Levels, but that's mostly because I have to play with a relatively small Econ and try to get my Developement Level to somewhere decent with the whole "Developement level is harder to raise for Populous and Spread-out Countries", which sends alarm bells off in my head when I have the largest Population in the game spread out over a Subcontinent.

Then again, playing Mughals is Suffering, so that's par for the course. XD

If that's how you want to play it...

He is notorious for his outrageous behavior, swearing continuously and making filthy jokes to the other spirits. He is married to another powerful spirit known as Maman Brigitte, but often chases after mortal women. He loves smoking and drinking and is rarely seen without a cigar in his mouth or a glass of rum in his bony fingers.

I was going to have him try to bed her, but being her dad is fine too.

So, you decided being a cavalry commander wasn't good enough, so you wanted to be a King, eh? You always were a fiery and ambitious one. Or is this not about you wanting to be a King? Tell me, Rupert, and you can be honest with me, is this about the people, or is this about living up to your families name? But I guess that doesn't matter, whether you''re doing it for yourself, or the people, either way, I like what you're doing I knew you would rise to greatness some day, and I knew rebellion was the most likely of ways you would do it. You always were predictable, Rupert, and that poses a bit of an... issue. You can't have the Poles predicting your every move, now can you? Perhaps I could assist you in this endeavor, that is, if you will have me, oh King-to-be.
