Efficiency  

Measures if an annexed provinces or a colony produces to its full capacity. Every following annexed province is 10% less efficient compared to the previous one. This means it produces 10% less resources. In order to exploit all provinces to their full capacities, it is necessary to research Bureaucracy. Each Bureaucracy level increases the production efficiency by 5% without getting it above 100%. On the other hand, the first basic colony has a 90% efficiency and every colony after that is 10% less efficient. To this percentage is added half of the penalty for distance. The research Colonial bureaucracy boosts the efficiency with 5% per level (not exceeding 100%). The possible distance between your empire and the colony is limited by the researched levels of Colonial logistics.
