2) What is the exact relationship between Order scale, Unrest and Tax? I know Order/Turmoil affects the results of tax collection (7% per notch, right?) and Unrest also reduces tax collection. But I do not know exactly how Unrest does this. Also, I know Order scale doesn't influence Unrest directly, but I read that it influences the amount of unrest increase/decrease as a result of tax rate. Is that true? If so it could be viewed as influencing unrest directly unless taxes are very high or very low.

back in Dom I order reduced unrest and turmoil increased it, and so the benefit of high order was that you could put your taxes to more than 100% without generating unrest. This led to competitive players taxing at 200% in their rich provinces, and patrolling to keep unrest down.

In Dom II order doesn't reduce unrest so much as give you more money for the same taxe rate. I think the devs did this to stop people from taxing so high. Accordingly, high tax kills population as well as increasing unrest (And of course patrolling also kills people) so you are damaging your tax base by setting your taxes high.
