What exactly is the difference between binary and linear tech and where can I see in my tech tree which is what?
Most techs are binary techs. Binary techs are off or on hence they are called binary techs. Once you have researched a binary tech you get the full benefits of its effects.
Some techs are linear techs. These techs give a scaling benefit depending on how much research you've put in to them. You do not have to research them to 100 to get the effect and it's actually quite difficult to max them out. These represent various optimisations of existing technologies and systems. All linear techs are found in Applied X fields (Applied Chemistry, Applied Engineering and Applied Management).

What is Political Power and for what?
Political power or PP represents the political clout and capital of your government and specifically your office as supreme leader. It's your ability and your government's ability to get stuff done. PP is spent in response to most, if not all, events, to perform government business, such as change zone orders or reassign leaders, or to play stratagem cards, as these represent special actions your government is undertaking. PP is primarily generated by your supreme command council (your starting council). Your SCC has two sliders you can allocate BP to: political power and general stratagems. Allocating more bureaucratic power to the political power slider generates more political power.

I don't understand the "Time of Relative Calm" event at the beginning?
This is an epoch. The game, by default, is divided into a series of epochs which alternate between positive and negative effects. You always start in a positive epoch then move into a negative one and carry on alternating like that. Positive epochs are generally called 'Time of X' and negative epochs 'Crisis of X'. Each epoch has a different effect and the game tells you exactly what they do and how long they will last at the start of each turn in the slideshow summary as your turn starts. You can review this information at any time by hitting the 'VID' button in the top left of the screen. It should be right below your credits total. You can also review the AI turn history by hitting the 'HIS' button and find a bunch of useful tables and trees by hitting the 'MNG' button, including the tech tree and overview of your government feats.
Positive epochs generally make it easier to get something done by giving you bonus points. Bonus points are a convoluted way of adding positive modifier to something like your research, BP generation or private economy. Bonus points are not added directly to the thing they modify. Instead more bonus points provide a bigger modifier to whatever you are actually generating. They can have other effects such as directly improving your word score. Negative epochs generally cause some negative status effect in your zones or among your leaders, such as decreasing relations, increased unrest or danger.
Hope that helps!
Thx a lot! Speeking about the epoch event. It says I have gained 400 political bonus points. Where can I see them because they are not my political points. What are they for?
