Investment pool contribution vs efficiency

How exactly is it calculated?

Let's say I have aristocrats with 20% contribution and +15% efficiency, and capitalists with 30% contribution and no bonus.

That means for 1£ the aristo would invest 0.23 (while keeping 0.8 to spend on art and wine), and the cap would invest 0.3 (while keeping 0.7 to spend)?

Or are there more complications to the calculation, or other important factors to account for?

Are you surprised that politicians in your country can't form a coalition in parliament? In my country, despite the obvious risk of being destroyed individually, the Socialists and Communists couldn't reach an agreement, so they're waging two separate civil wars.

Can't do trade deal with adjacent country (quasimid market <-> omani market)

For some reason I cannot add "goods transfer" to a treaty even though we share a border. I thought there might an impassable terrain, but no, it does not seem like that.

Can't declare diplomatic plays

I got cut down to size due to my stupidity by a global coalition spearheaded by the Netherlands. After that war, I played a little and decided to get my revenge on the Netherlands, but when I tried to declare war, I found out that I couldn't declare war on them or on anyone else, despite having the interest tier and no truce in place. Looking at the diplomatic demand panel showed me this “Disallow aggressive diplomatic plays” flag, but it doesn't say where it comes from or how to get rid of it. Unless I'm blind, neither Wikipedia nor the game mentions that cutting someone down to size will stop them from declaring diplomatic plays, which makes me wonder how I got this flag and how to get rid of it. I should also mention that the save is from before the latest hotfix. Thanks in advance for the help.

Why is Jeune École treated like the “neutral” Navy Model?

Something that strikes me as a bit odd is that any ideology that has an opinion on the navy model, is neutral towards Jeune École. Even Jingoist approves of diplomatic fleet while neutral towards jeune école, (shouldn’t this be flipped?) Bonapartist equally approves of Capital and Diplo while neutral towards jeune, etc.

Jeune École isn’t a reasonable center, compromise policy. It was a radical strategic concept that French naval theorists came up with in an attempt to counter the British royal navy. As a law, it makes more sense to me that it would be treated on par with, if not a close second to, Capital Fleet because that’s essentially what it was: an alternative to the traditional battleship supremacy doctrine. If anything, diplomatic fleet should be the moderate option.

What do you guys think? Does Jeune École make sense where it currently sits ideologically or gameplay-wise? Did the devs explain their reasoning for this?

Is it possible to cut off overseas supplies from your enemies

For reference, this is in multiplayer, where a human being built up his country so it is competent. Scenario: I destroyed the navy of my enemy, then put all my ships on convoy raiding. His overseas supply stays the same. I try blockading his ports, still full supply.

Question: is it possible to actually cut off supply, if he can outbuild supply ships faster than I can sink them? Blockade seems to do nothing at all.

Petite bourgeoisie alignment

Why is petite bourgeoisie so nationalistic and reactionary? Historically they weren't like that until 20th century, the game did a pretty good job with it's choice of interest groups in 19th century but this feels just off.
