Value or Base Value?

Value. Specifically, 1 point of value is equivalent to about 25 colonial resources.
Base Value represents the scale and quality of the naval bases in the possession and is the number of ship points that the possession can support.

Oh! Thank you! aeson And pray tell, what are 25 colonial resources worth? Where do you get them in the game? I skipped that day of RTW school. ;-)

Oh! Thank you! aeson And pray tell, what are 25 colonial resources worth? Where do you get them in the game? I skipped that day of RTW school. ;-) Colonial resources are listed in the Almanac after base resources - they're the "from possessions" line: As to what you get for them, you get budget. The annual naval budget (B) is computed as:
B = C * F * (Rb + d * Rc) where C is a budget modifier (stored for each state individually in the save file; look for BudgetModifier lines), F is the fleet size factor (one tenth of the FleetSize listed in the save file; Small = 0.2, Medium = 0.3, Large = 0.5, Very Large = 0.7), Rb is the state's base (domestic) resources as listed in the Almanac (listed for each state individually in the save file; look for BaseResources lines), d is a discount factor that the manual implies exists for colonial resources but has always seemed to be about 1 whenever I've done a spot-check, and Rc is the state's colonial resources ("From Possessions" as listed in the Almanac; roughly 25 times the total point value of all the colonies held).
The following table lists the budget modifier, domestic and colonial resources, expected budget computed using the formula given above, and the actual in-game budget for the powers Italy (player), Great Britain, France, Austria-Hungary, Russia, Germany, and the USA in September 1936 in one of my games (playing on V. Large fleet size, so F = 0.7): As you can see, the budget predicted using the formula given above matches the actual in-game budget reasonably well.
