Culture Conversion Speed
Every (insert frequency of conversion tick) provinces that are eligible will advance their conversion percentage by an amount equal to $$Progress$$. Once they hit 100, they will convert.

If you have the Historic Conversion game option on, provinces will convert ten times more slowly.

$$Progress=2 \times \frac{Historic Modifier \times AutonomyModifier \times CultureCostModifier \times ToleranceModifier}{DevelopmentModifier}$$

The more developed a province is, the slower it will change cultures.

$$DevelopmentModifier = \frac{ProvincialDevelopment}{80}+1$$

A province's Local Autonomy has a direct affect on culture conversion speed.

$$AutonomyModifier = \frac{150 - (1.5*LocalAutonomy)}{100}$$

A nation's Culture Conversion Cost modifier can speed or slow down culture conversion. A negative modifier speeds up culture conversion; a positive modifier slows down conversion.

$$ToleranceModifier = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \frac{1}{1+NationalCultureCostModifier} \quad |NationalCultureCostModifier>=0 \\ CultureCostModifier = 1- NationalCultureConversionCost - LocalCultureConversionCost \quad |\text{else} \end{array} \right.$$

$$CultureCostModifier = \frac{1}{1+NationalCultureCostModifier}$$

Otherwise:

$$CultureCostModifier = 1- NationalCultureConversionCost - LocalCultureConversionCost$$

Tolerance to the province's dominant religion affect the speed at which they change cultures. Positive tolerance speeds up conversion ever-so-slightly; negative tolerance can significantly slow down culture conversion.

$$ToleranceModifier = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 1+\frac{Tolerance}{1000} \quad |Tolerance >= 0 \\ \frac{Tolerance+3}{3} \quad |-2.7 <= Tolerance < 0 \\ -0.1 \quad |-3 < Tolerance < 2.7 \\ 0.05 \quad |Tolerance = -3 \end{array} \right.$$
