每個省份都有它的資源。生產資源的功能被稱為資源生產作業，或RGO（Resource Gathering Operations）。在中文裡，RGO通常會根據語境翻譯為不同的詞，例如「生產規模」或「原料產地」。
省份資源可以通過事件來改變，但大多數情況下的省份資源在整局遊戲中都不會變。工作崗位的數量對不同省份或不同資源來說都有可能不同。RGO規模受省份規模、地形、氣候、改革和科技影響。
省份規模在遊戲開始時依據該省份的
農民或
勞工數量而定義。而後，省份規模將除以地形（而不是科技）產生的規模修正，然後向上取整，乘以1.5，再向下取整。
比如說：
- 基礎工作崗位：40000
- 省份中的農民數量：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，即為最終的省份規模
收入分配
RGO的收入會在所有者（
貴族）和僱工（農民或勞工）之間分配。
奴隸什麼也不會得到。
所有者從RGO獲得的收入為：
- RGO收入 × 2 × (地區內的所有者數量) / (省份內的工作者數量)
所有者的收入上限為RGO收入的50%，剩下的部分由所有僱工平分。公式中的「工作者」包括了奴隸，因此僱工會拿走原本屬於奴隸的那一份收入。
所有者會從所處地區內的所有RGO獲得收入，所以地區內的RGO越多，他們就越富有。
RGO資源
RGO總共生產20種不同的資源，下表列出了這些資源以及1836年開局時生產這種資源的省份數量。關於這些資源如何使用的細節，參見生產。

特殊類型的資源
貴金屬
貴金屬是指黃金、鑽石和銀。它不是一般的資源，因為它是錢。創造貨幣的唯一途徑是事件和貴金屬，因此貴金屬是重要的宏觀經濟資源。1單位貴金屬轉化為的資金量由defines.lua中的GOLD_TO_CASH_RATE定義，默認值為1.5（《兄弟鬩牆》）或0.5（《黑暗之心》）。1836年後，某些省份的貴金屬會自動出現在地圖上（平均發生時間為12個月），更多的只會出現在事件中。
橡膠
僅當以下一個或多個條件適用時，地圖上才會出現橡膠：
- 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.
橡膠出現的事件平均發生時間為36個月。
石油
僅當以下條件適用時，地圖上才會出現石油：
- 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).
石油出現的事件平均發生時間為8個月。
