Clamour for Reform and Governments?

Also I wouldn't put any schools in a "small" region (ie. only one building slot in regional capital.)

I disagree. Some of the best regions for universities are those. Montreal & Afghanistan are perfect examples. They have small populations, and are therefore easily policed with crappy militia units. You don't need dragoons, etc. Both get three towns, for one school, one tavern and one place of worship.

Don't forget that a 3rd level place of worship adds +3 religious happiness for both the upper and lower classes, despite its description in the info card. You do need to reach a certain trigger level though (I think having religious majority is sufficient). Also, once you've researched the maximum farming techs, you can get additional happiness for nobility by upgrading the farms to estates (+1 for Montreal, +2 for Afghanistan).

As Russia I had a Justice Minister who had maxed stars. I never had a problem until he croaked.

Personally, I have found that the best way to deal with them is to let the rabble gather together and declare a revolution/revolt, snicker at their "army" and then cut them down. The only problem is I can't drive their families off the land and take their pretty daughters away to the palace...

Sorry I got a little too into being the Tsar...
