Hi,

I am only suggesting something, please don't hurt me.

How about for every X million people who move into your county, the tax decrases?

Like, say tax is 50%, and all you issues, you solve without money, then after a while 10 million people move in or so, could you lover the tax by 1% maybe? Because more people would be paying it.

If this already happens, I'm sorry. I usually spend too much for my nation, so it always rises.

Taxes are adjusted based on how you answer issues. If you want to lower them, you'll have to change how you answer issues.

Dropping the tax rate based on population would be problematic as we have nations with over 6 billion people.

Maybe then very slightly. Like 1% per billion.

Basically, you're saying that if a nation does nothing, since their population *always* grows, their tax rates would *always* be going down. That's nonsensical.

[this is from an IC perspective]

But more people would be using the programs. Like if you had an education system, it wouldn't cost X money, it would cost X money per student. So as your population goes up, the amount of money you need goes up.
