Look at these maps, if there is a Pahlav symbol in the bottom right, you'll be able to get that unit in the green provinces:



'Distance from capital' penalties are moddable in M2TW, but not in RTW. As are 'squaller' pentalties. There aren't any cultural penalties in M2TW, though.

You can increase the amount of bonuses on buldings, but that doesn't really solve the 'distance to capital' or 'culture' problems. It would just scale up the public order everywhere.
Oh I didn;t know I am suupposed to tear down barracks too. I used to tear down only gov-t buildings and then build my own. I will try that.

Thanks for the maps!

You are right about bonuses to counterweigh distance to capital and culture penalties. I guess I will have to wait for EB 2 on that :)
