Ideology
Part of the System outputs guide
Ideology is a resource your systems make for your empire. A system has no base ideology. All of it comes from buildings and other bonuses.
Where it goes
- Your empire gains the ideology of all your systems.
- Your dominions add a share of theirs. See Dominion Tax Rate.
What spends it
- Buying lexes and lex slots.
- Hiring Erased and Siderians.
- Liberate, Administer and Abandon. See Administrative Operations.
