Over time, most societies develop a need for a common structure with stronger and more permanent institutions of government. The amount of monarch points required to reach 100%, without any modifiers or initial presence, is summarized by the table below: Up to an initial development of about 30, the total cost of going from 0 to 100% institution presence in a province is always about 2100 monarch points before other modifiers (such as terrain or the merchant guild estate bonus) to development cost. The required development within a province of a given starting development is summarized in the table below. The development required to bring an institution with 0% presence to 100% presence is at least 601 cumulative development points, because for 600 points (reaching 36 dev starting from 11) you get 99.96% due to rounding. The increase is capped at 10% (60 development).

Especially Colonialism is notorious for late spawning due to having only a 5% chance to spawn in a province, which effect is increased if there are not many colonizers or the colonizers have few coastal centers of trade or developed provinces connected to their capital. If none or only a few provinces are eligible for spawning, it can take years or even decades for an institution to show up. If only 3 provinces can get it to spawn for an institution with a 10% spawn chance there is a 90% × 90% × 90% = 72.9% chance that it won't spawn in the beginning of that year. Each eligible province for an institution has a fixed chance (5% to 25% depending on the institution) to get it to spawn in that province. There are a total of 8 different institutions that appear throughout the game (except for the first which is present at the beginning of the game in 1444), at roughly 50-year intervals starting in 1450 and ending in 1750.Įach year all provinces an institution can spawn in are randomly given a chance to spawn the institution. Embracing an institution requires that institution to be fully present in provinces containing at least 10% of a country's development (modified by local autonomy), after which it requires an amount of ducats dependent on the remaining development in provinces where the institution is not fully present. The first tech of an institution receives an institution penalty of +15% the next one +30% and all following techs +50%, this modifier can stack if multiple requirements are unfullfilled.
Technologies require specific Institutions to be embraced and will have increased tech cost penalties otherwise (as shown through the icons above the technology, where those shown in red or grayed out are increasing the cost). Institutions are fundamental advances in civilization and are the primary determinant of technology cost.
