Small/medium economies: Prioritize Mission Control first, then shift to Boost and Funding once MC is where you need it
Always keep Economy and Knowledge running — these compound over time and underpin everything else
Unrest
Add Welfare when inequality is high (>3), Unity when cohesion is low (<5)
Keeping roughly 10–30% of priorities pointed at stability-oriented categories (Unity, Welfare, Knowledge in that order) helps keep nations from degrading over time.
Faction popularity and faction control matching up is better for cohesion.
Prioritize Mission Control, then Boost once that’s stable.
Spoils — skip it. It degrades both your nation’s economy and the global economy, and it’s not worth the risk of triggering a coup.
