Greetings, all
My apologies if this has been addressed recently, but I was wondering why the #1 ranked nation in the world has a tax rate of (only) 96%, when there are hundreds (thousands?) of nations with 100%?

Some nations do have an income tax rate of 100%. However, the ranking is based on the average income tax of the people. That means if a nations lets the poor pay a smaller tax rate, then that nations will have a lower ranking. The number one nation had the highest income tax per person, and thus he was ranked number one.

I hear what you're saying, but the tax rate quoted on a nation's profile page *is* the average rate (I understand, therefore, that the stat takes into account what you have just said, which is why it's described as the "average" rate), and the ranking is based on that stat.
Or not?

Sometimes, you will see a nation that says:
The average tax is 80%, but much higher for the wealthy.
I thought I saw one time one with 100% with that modifier, but that doesn't make much sence.

It may not make sense but it is doable I had that once.

Hmm...the more I think about this, the more it's beginning to make sense. Cool.
Anyway, in answer to you comments, the way the game has been designed the tax rate actually doesn't have boundaries (0 to 100). By answering issues you can actually push your rate into the minuses, or above 100. It just isn't reflected, and that's how you get some of those illogical sentences in profiles sometimes.
