===Money=== 
Where monarch points are abstract to the max, money is very simple. You get money through taxes, trade, looting and industry, you lose money by spending it on buildings or soldiers, to maintain the upkeep of your state or being forced to pay reparations. Money only represents the general state of your treasury, not the actual treasury in itself and as such, is very superflous. Taking on loans is a common way to fight wars (and in turn, use the money you pressed out of your opponent to pay back said loans) and only becomes a problem when you have too much of it, although its of course always better to avoid loans. There is also the possibility of devaluing your currency, which gives you a lot of money instantly, but increases your nations corruption, which is to be avoided at all costs (Corruption inceases MP costs across the board and is ridiculously costly to get rid of). Finally, if your nation is so broke either option is not available, you can declare your bankruptcy, which clears all your loans but gives nations you have lent money from a casus belli, fucks your nation sideways in every respect and should therefore be even harder avoided than corruption.
