The thing is, there isn't a done properly version of Distribute Land. The problem is unlocking it for the Patricians, as their incentives are to spam it enough to keep our Centralisation negative and reduce Min Centralisation, and then build GPs to lower Min Centralisation even further. And their personal incentives will always be to distribute land, as they'll keep having extra sons to give it to.
They can then force transition to a negative Centralisation form of government.
It's a self-reinforcing spiral, as Centralisation goes down the central state's ability to resist goes down with it, until we end up with the Ymaryn being the Polish Commonwealth.
Hyperbolic. Remember we're burning 2 Cent per turn every turn for the last 10 turns or so on PDN. And that AN said there are different ways to implement Distribute Land, some of which are more beneficial or controlled.
The vote combination then does this:
-Double Main Distribute Land(we take a Main, the Patricians basically would take a Main as well) - Land plots are assigned
-Hunt Troublemakers - Inspectors are sent out to check on the management and distribution of the land to ensure that it is fair, that it is going into the right hands, that the common types of abuses are tabulated.
-Enforce Justice - New laws are written up regarding ability to distribute land. Excellent Admin is no guarantee, but there is likely to be a clause to limit too blatant nepotism and graft, as that is the single most common source of abuse on land distribution. Remember the current zeitegeist is that the People are very concerned about greed, this will be reflected in the law.
-Proclaim Glory - We cut these laws in stone steles and set them out across the land.
By the time Shumyn takes over there is a precedent to reference to limit distribution efforts.
The main annoyance is that we'd need to spam roads and harbors to keep up. On the bright side, if it goes well we should be hitting a Golden Age soon.
