Development Update: The cost of crime, and how to fight it

Greetings, emperors!

New development blog post is up! This is part two of the Crime and Provincial Order system, following on from last time's introduction to the Sprawl Factor.

Today's post covers what crime actually costs you, resource loss, slower construction, reduced assimilation and recruitment, and the vicious cycle that can develop if you let it run unchecked. But it also covers your full toolkit for fighting back, garrison strength, governor choice, province development, and more, all using systems already in the game.
