Template:Under construction Legitimacy is the measure of the balance of power of Interest groups that compose the Goverment. The higher the legitimacy, the faster a cycle of laws enactment goes. Legitimacy in itself does not increase the likelihood of a law to pass.

Depending on how big the government can be, having more or less interest groups or Political parties will affect the base legitimacy on which modifiers will increase or reduce that value.

Modifiers

Depending on which distribution of power law is enacted, more or less base legitimacy is available.

Depending on the income tax level, the government might receive a benefit of +5/+10 legitimacy if taxes are below average, or a penalty of -5/-10 if taxes are above average.

Having a surplus of Authority also speeds up the speed of a cycle of law enactment up to 25%.

Random Events can also temporarily add modifiers that affect legitimacy.

Patch 1.1 Rework

In patch 1.1, legitimacy was overhauled and its mechanics change. Legitimacy was split into 5 levels, all changing several modifiers to do with radicals/loyalists, and interest group opposition.

Legitimacy Level	Value		Laws		Opposition Interest Group Approval	Standard of Living Changes		Additional Radicals Per Month		Additional Loyalists Per Month
	Minimum	Maximum	Can Enact?	Enactment Time		Radicals from Decreases	Loyalists from Increases	At Min Value	At Max Value	At Min Value	At Max Value
Illegitimate	0	25			-3	+50%		+3.0%	+1.5%
Unacceptable	25	50			-2	+25%		+1.5%	+0.0%
Contested	50	75			-1
Legitimate	75	90					+25%			+0.14%	+2.24%
Righteous	90	100		-50%			+25%			+3.0%	+5.0%
