[edit] Overview

Prestige is a percentage, ranging from -100 to 100, that is, essentially, a measure of a nation's success, and countries are ranked according to their prestige. Prestige is gained by successful playing, such as by winning battles and wars, by diplomatic actions such as gaining a vassal or establishing a royal marriage, and by discovering new lands and establishing new colonies. It can also be gained by having a philosopher as an advisor, or by selecting certain national ideas. Prestige can be lost by the inverse of the above actions, for example by losing battles or wars, having diplomatic actions rejected, or by having a colony seized or destroyed. It should also be noted that prestige will automatically return to zero over time (-5/year base modifier), so you must continue with prestige gaining actions to keep your prestige as high as possible.
