State all high development states (+50). Any state with Cloth on Drylands, Grasslands, or Farmlands is worth stating for later development. Steppes are almost always TC. Culture groups such as Turkish, Castilian, Francien, with high average development are worth stating early on as you can accept their cultures and earn full benefits. As a mus. country you can state only the highest development Heretic/Heathen states and take Conscript the Dhimmi priviledge for massive manpower increase. You can state without coring which is essentially half stating/free stating if you are short on mana. This is very good for land on another continent you plan to TC later. Also if you are converting provinces you state without coring so you get higher missionary strength. You only TC one province with the highest development in a state, the one lowest development province in a state, and any province with an Estuary or Trade Center. The reason you state and TC like that is it will be the most efficient for Governing Capacity until late game when you have Town Halls everywhere.
The right question is "do you need money or manpower ?" If it s money, then TC and if not core state. Except for trade hub : always make TC for the boost
I saw a run where a guy stacked tariff modifiers and ended up generating massive amounts of tariff income. I'd like to see Arumba do a similar run to figure out when tariffs can be good.
I would say the more important dev click at this stage is mil for manpower. You are swimming in ducats but you have no manpower. I’m always the same at this stage
Manpower is easily replaced in eu4 with money. Mercs == manpower. But money can be used for many many other things, while manpower cannot. Money >> manpower.

The only thing I get confused about is whether I should state or trade company provinces.
