I'm going to normalise the score so that the highest scorer has ten thousand points, and set the prices to work with that. Unlike EU4 this won't be an auction, you just buy the stuff you want. If you don't like to make your purchases public, send me a PM here or on Discord instead. Unused score will be converted to literacy (so if you don't post, you get literacy), in such a way that if the top scorer buys nothing except literacy, he will get 5% extra, 4% will cost half that, 3% half of that again, and so on down with a smooth generating function. With ten thousand points, the literacy prices are: 5%: 10000 4%: 5000 3%: 2500 1%: 625 0.5%: 441 0%: 313 -1%: 156 -2%: 78 -9%: 1 That's what happens when you start with an "X should cost double" and just pursue the idea. So, it is somewhat suggested that you save a couple of hundred points to avoid a literacy penalty. Other things available for purchase: Factories: You can buy any factory that's available at game start. First factory (for each player) costs 1000, each subsequent one doubles in price. It follows that nobody can buy more than three factories. Note that these are in addition to what the converter gives you. Fringe parties: You may pay 1000 points to make your Fascist, Socialist, Communist, or Anarcho-Liberal party (not Liberal, Conservative,or Reactionary, you take your chances with those) into a copy of a vanilla nation's party. Copying a second party costs 1500, then 2000, then 2500; and you must copy from the same vanilla nation in each case - no taking Germany's fascists and France's anarcho-liberals. For example, if you buy the Dutch anarcho-liberals, and you also want to change your fascists, you must buy the Dutch fascists. Reforms: You may buy one level of a political or social reform for 1000 points; second costs 1500, and so on. (You may not buy two levels of the same reform. ) Be aware that social reforms cost money to maintain. Techs: You may buy a tech that another nation has at game start; that is, catchup only. 2000 points for the first tech, 3000 for the second, 4000 for the third; double if the tech is level 2. Tech schools: You may buy a tech school other than Krupp and Junker. 250 points for the first tech school, double for every subsequent one. Starting party: You may change your starting government to conservative, liberal, or reactionary. 250 points for the first starting government, doubling for each subsequent one. RGO swap: You can swap two RGOs that you own, for example to create a state that has both coal and iron, to move a coal province from a vulnerable border state to your capital, or to make a high-population province produce a scarce resource. 1500 points, you can only buy this once.
Points after normalisation:
Dragoon: 10000 Tazzzo: 9013 James Craig: 7386 Clonefusion: 7279 Mark: 7176 Blayne: 6467 Ranger: 5418 Everyone else (median): 4731
Again, please note: You must spend at least 313 points on literacy to avoid a penalty.
Deliberately left out: Prestige and country-specific decisions.

2000 Points for Basic Chemistry if we decide it's not essential, Mech Mining otherwise
5418-2000 = 3418
250 points for Starting Party = Conservative
3418 - 250 = 3168
1000 for Machine Parts Factory in Al Rif
3168 - 1000 = 2168
250 for Tech School, Sea power & The Merchant Marine
2168 - 250 = 1918
1000 for basic healthcare
1918-1000 = 918 remaining for literacy

I would also like to request that my stage 2 political parties which normally change out my starting parties in the 1870s be made available at game start instead of my starting parties. I am willing to pay both the cost of bringing in a fringe party and fixing my starting party for this. (1250 points) If this is not something I can do, then all remaining points go to literacy.
