I'm still not sure how taxing unproductive members of society more than productive members of society is cheating. Granted, this is your game, and your rules. I just need a little clarification on this particular rule.

I'm not really sure how it's considered cheating to punish unproductive members of society with higher taxes, even if it isn't likely that they will ever return to the game. If someone irl just disappears without warning and with no heirs, their belongings go to the "next of kin". We don't have that in the game, so the next step is for their possessions to go to the state (or alliance in this case).

It's not like every alliance would be forced to do this, but I'm sure some would support the option to tax nations differently. Also, I think the current system is somewhat unfair to smaller nations and those who have been hit hard by war.

Can we have different tax brackets for different groups of nations? I'd like to be able to separate the members of my alliance into at least two groups and tax them differently. This would mirror real life more closely, and would help relieve pressure for the more disadvantaged nations in an alliance. I run a really small alliance, so this change wouldn't affect me yet, but I'd still like to be able to do it at some point.

Thank you all for the welcome. I look forward to getting to know you all. I have, but I didn't want to just join the first alliance that messaged me and am currently doing research on some alliances to narrow my choices down.

Thank you for the welcome. Good to meet you sir.

Religion is definitely an important component. Like SoS said above, while religion is not the main culprit, it does provide an excuse/reason to behave in deplorable ways, causing otherwise rational people to behave in irrational ways.

Hello, I'm fairly new to nation sim games. I just thought I'd make myself known.
