The Tenacious People journal entry now transitions away from using the Autonomous Tributary modifier after the Donghak Peasant Rebellion is resolved. This is a temporary measure until the content that's actually supposed to drive this transition is implemented.

Still not fully 1.7-compatible - duplicate content coverage with SoI has not been addressed

• Added new "Jeonjeong Tax Policies" journal entry
  
  • Purpose of it is to add some dividends taxes to make the tax collections efforts in the Sedo Politics journal have an actual gameplay impact since the 1.7 changes to ownership and pop types makes it such that aristocrats do not pay any taxes other than consumption, per capita, and dividends taxes
    
  • Adds modifiers that add flat, small land & per capita tax rates and a dividends tax rate
    
  • Journal closes out upon enacting Proportional or Graduated Taxation
• Added new "A Tenacious People" journal entry
  
  • Is active any time Korea is subjugated by someone
    
  • Has certain modifiers that become active depending on Korea's tech progress and who the overlord is
    
  • Generally makes it harder to lower Korea's autonomy and easier for Korea to gain liberty desire
    
  • Special modifier for Korea subjugated by Qing China which makes it difficult for the liberty desire to move to reflect historical relations
    
  • Future mod content will drive some narrative text in this journal entry
• Korea now starts with Migration Controls
  
• Fixed the "Queen Dowager" title not being used for Sunwon in the country selection screen and on day 1 of new games

• Changed logic for the deaths of Heonjong (Yi Hwan) and Cheoljong (Yi Byeon) - instead of a flat 0.05% monthly chance of dying before their historical death date, they now have exponential curves which rise from roughly ~2% monthly when they take power to 50% monthly odds of dying 1 year before their historical death
  
  • The flat 90% chance of them dying on or after their historical death dates has not been changed
• Added a failsafe to regenerate Gojong as heir if his regency is ongoing but Gojong himself somehow vanishes or dies (usually as a result of revolutions)
  
• Changed regency completion event such that if Yi Ha-eung (Gojong's regent) is made the leader of his IG, the old leader will become an agitator instead of dying
  
• Righteous Army decision will no longer appear during civil wars
  
• Righteous Army modifier has been tweaked to bolster the benefits while also increasing the military goods cost to 33%
  
• Tweaked the special Korea-specific AI strategies to add pro-independence weights

Potential known issue: Gaining independence as Korea without someone liberating you or transferring you as a subject to someone else other than China may be unreasonably difficult due to the special modifier that severely hampers Liberty Desire adjustments; quick fix will be pushed tomorrow, but for the time being you'll need to sit tight unless someone liberates you, someone makes you their subject, or China shatters

Bare minimum update for 1.7 functionality - no effort has been made to resolve conflicts with regards to overlapping content between KFP and the SoI DLC (especially the Donghak Peasant Rebellion events). Use at your own risk.

• Fixed issue where Sunjong (Yi Cheok) would not be born caused by logic error added in 1.4.0

  • "Assert Central Authority" -> Allows you to use 500 Political Power to automatically enact Autocracy if the current ruler is King Gojong, is Heungseon Daewongun, or has one of three autocratic ideologies, and if Sedo Aristocracy is still enacted, bypassing the need to go through the law enactment cycle
