How does the GDP calculator determine your national budget? I'd assumed it was GDP * average income tex rate, but that doesn't match the figures it gives for Gurthark.

Higher civil rights = higher budget.

Thanks. But why? What should civil rights have to do with the national budget?

Don't get me wrong; I'm all for civil rights. But I didn't expect them to make my government richer.

I suppose it's because it assumes that countries with high civil rights will have thinks like social welfare programs etc. which would drive up taxes.

but it already counts tax rates.
all they would do is increase the % of Govt funding going into welfare. (always one of the larger items if you count education and healthcare

Take it up with the guy who makes it (dunno who it is :P .. there may be a thread in tech about it .. check the tech sticky)

Think it's a guy called Mac Anu, although I could be wrong.

I concur.

Personally, I avoid the GDP Calc with a twelve foot pole. It has too many flaws in it (I don't think that it is really civil rights that affect it, It seems to me to assume that all nations have the same tax rate.
