EDIT: Today, by my nation.
Income equality is a secondary effect, influenced by some of the primary hidden stats that are present for this option.

Land Without Shrimp. I chose option 1 - slashing every department in half. Why not, right? Figured it'd be drastic, but I'm always keen for a good tax cut. Well, it definitely impacted my taxes, but by far more than I expected! I'm not complaining, but did just want to see if it was working as intended. My tax rate fell from 49.82 to 0.75. Is that normal?
Yes. Having checked your backstage stats, I can confirm that everything is working perfectly normally. Your departments were all slashed by exactly half.
The problem with any stat based on percentages and not a set number is that they will have massively variable knock-on effects on individual nations.
Tax, which -- in the game is income tax -- is, in part a secondary knock-on effect (impacted by various factors). So, that can be highly variable with percentage changes.
It is working as intended.

Adding that issues which decreases taxation only does it in a ridiculous small amount, in the other hand that ones that increases it does a lot more. One issue can easily recover all the taxation I decreased in a full month.
Basically, taxation only covers income tax. It's a known limitation in our simulation.

I expected that Trout Farming would synergize with greater knowledge of the ocean. Instead Trout Farming went down.
The Trout Farming industry is about eating fish, not studying them.
I see no reason why studying marine life should lead to a growth in this industry, especially when one is not promised by the option. This is not an unusual effect.
