每个省份都有它的资源。生产资源的功能被称为资源生产作业，或RGO（Resource Gathering Operations）。在中文里，RGO通常会根据语境翻译为不同的词，例如“生产规模”或“原料产地”。
省份资源可以通过事件来改变，但大多数情况下的省份资源在整局游戏中都不会变。工作岗位的数量对不同省份或不同资源来说都有可能不同。RGO规模受省份规模、地形、气候、改革和科技影响。
省份规模在游戏开始时依据该省份的
农民或
劳工数量而定义。而后，省份规模将除以地形（而不是科技）产生的规模修正，然后向上取整，乘以1.5，再向下取整。
比如说：
- 基础工作岗位：40000
- 省份中的农民数量：90000
- 地形修正：-10%
- 90000 / 40000 = 2.25
- 2.25 / (100% - 10%) = 2.5
- 向上取整得到3
- 乘以1.5得到4.5
- 向下取整得到4，即为最终的省份规模
收入分配
RGO的收入会在所有者（
贵族）和雇工（农民或劳工）之间分配。
奴隶什么也不会得到。
所有者从RGO获得的收入为：
- RGO收入 × 2 × (地区内的所有者数量) / (省份内的工作者数量)
所有者的收入上限为RGO收入的50%，剩下的部分由所有雇工平分。公式中的“工作者”包括了奴隶，因此雇工会拿走原本属于奴隶的那一份收入。
所有者会从所处地区内的所有RGO获得收入，所以地区内的RGO越多，他们就越富有。
RGO资源
RGO总共生产20种不同的资源，下表列出了这些资源以及1836年开局时生产这种资源的省份数量。关于这些资源如何使用的细节，参见生产。

特殊类型的资源
贵金属
贵金属是指黄金、钻石和银。它不是一般的资源，因为它是钱。创造货币的唯一途径是事件和贵金属，因此贵金属是重要的宏观经济资源。1单位贵金属转化为的资金量由defines.lua中的GOLD_TO_CASH_RATE定义，默认值为1.5（《兄弟阋墙》）或0.5（《黑暗之心》）。1836年后，某些省份的贵金属会自动出现在地图上（平均发生时间为12个月），更多的只会出现在事件中。
橡胶
仅当以下一个或多个条件适用时，地图上才会出现橡胶：
- The owner of the province where rubber can potentially spawn has Daimler's Automobile invention, Edison Light Bulb invention (both from Combustion Engine tech), Infiltration technology, or Aeronautics technology. The year is 1880 or later (1890 for some provinces).
- The owner of the province where rubber can potentially spawn is in the Sphere of Influence of a nation who fulfils the above invention and technology requirements. The year is be 1880 or later (1890 for some provinces).
- The owner of the province where rubber can potentially spawn does not fulfill the above requirements. The year must be 1900.
橡胶出现的事件平均发生时间为36个月。
石油
仅当以下条件适用时，地图上才会出现石油：
- The owner of the province where oil can potentially spawn must have Daimler's Automobile invention (from Combustion Engine tech), Cracking invention (from Organic Chemistry tech), or Protected Cruisers invention (from Steel Steamers tech). The year must be 1870 (upwards of 1927 for some provinces).
- The owner of the province where oil can potentially spawn must be in the Sphere of Influence of a nation who fulfils the above invention and technology requirements. The year must be 1870 (upwards of 1927 for some provinces).
石油出现的事件平均发生时间为8个月。
