I only knew about the beneficial diplomacy boosts with other Pragmatic Civs. If there are a lot of those Civs in your galaxy, it can really swing things in your direction.

I don't remember seeing any mention of an increase in ideology points. Here's a list from the Wiki (https://wiki.galciv.com/index.php?title=Governments_and_Commonwealths):

• Pragmatism +50%
• Pragmatic Diplomacy +4
• Research +20%
• All Construction +30%
• Gross Income +20%
• Galactic
• Holds Elections
• Cryptocurrency
• Contracts

I already had that info from the wiki, but thanks for sharing it for other visitors.

Unfortunately, it doesn't explain what "Pragmatism 50%" does.

Pragmatism +50% gives you 50% more points toward the Pragmatic ideology so if you accumulate 10 per turn you bump up to 15.

If that's the case, then it doesn't appear to be working in the current version.

It is possible that it does not work fully, I have not checked. I usually streamline to this Government choice for the +20% income and I do find that I accumulate pragmatism points faster but never checked if it is exactly 50% more.
