Here's where you can check how much IP you have freed up. Just because you have a high IP doesn't mean you can always utilize it if your spending nearly all of your potential on things. Purchasing railroads, new technolgies (revolvers ;)), police crackdowns, setting up new colonies, wars/invasions, building your navy/army, upgrading your army or navy, or whatever. Your IP isn't gone for good it's just tied up in certain projects. We should probably update this page about once a week to get a read on finances.

I'll start with mine:

I purchased several hundred thousand revolvers for my officer corps and my cavalry (both active and reserves).

Building a railway from Paris to Nantes, another from Paris to Marsielles, and one in India.

Updating the Ethiopian navy.

Arming and training 15,000 Ethiopian troops.

One small war in north-western India.

Preparations for war in Liberia.

My IP is 483 so about 2/3 to 3/4 of my resources are currently tied up. There's no mathematical way to judge this, just goin' on my gut.

Financing a large shipbuilding program

Colonising California

Keeping those damn Chinese under control

Building shiny things in Japan (IE industry)

Couple of railroads

Rebuilding the Grand Canal in China.

I'd say even with 600 plus points Im pretty stressed, but modernization is like that when youre coming out of the 1600's. Fourtunatly the Japanese military is pretty much self-maintaining at this point (its the Daimyo that spend their money for the most part, even if it is taken out of taxes).

Bought a few Revolvers

Currantly in wars in Africa and India

Rail Link in India

Industrialisation of Southern England and Wales

I reckon quite a bit of my IP is currantly tied up although the wars are both local and shouldn't really place much strain on the economy

5000 revolvers

1. Halting Alversia in the Province north of Hyperdad
2. 1,000 Revolvers
3. Depending on if I have any left, I would like to build more railroads.

1,000 revolvers don't cost much, but the hundreds of thousands of troops you mobilized are. You probably have about 1/2 to 3/5 of your IP currently tied up.

1) Purchased ten thousand revolvers for Portugese officers
2) Building a railroad across Portugese America
3) Beginning to conquer the Western Sahara and setting up more forts and perimeters in Portugese Africa
4) In cooperation with natives, subduing the southern Venezuelans, and having them join our mighty empire.

How can you tell your IP?

I'll give you your IP once your factbook is finished. Or is it done already?

Industrialization, education, agricultural reform, I'm tied up.

It's been finished for days. lol ;)
