What builds it

These buildings strengthen the belief where it is already held. How much they add depends on how strong it already is there: the columns run from a weak minority (1) to where it is the majority.

Where	1	2	3	majority	Where	1	2	3	majority	Where	1	2	3	majority	Where	1	2	3	majority
Dependency	+4	+8	+12	+16	Direct Rule	+2	+4	+6	+8	Indirect Rule	+3	+6	+9	+12	Large Colony	+10	+10	+10	+10
Region Information Scroll	+2	+4	+6	+8	Small Colony	+6	+6	+6	+6

These buildings add the belief only where it is not held yet; that is how it spreads to new regions:

Where	What	Where	What
Large Colony	Ionian belief +16	Small Colony	Ionian belief +8

Other buildings that spread it

These also add the belief, depending on who owns the settlement, what government it has, or whether the belief is already there.
