Tax rate stuck at 100%

Postby Aezakmi » Fri Oct 08, 2010 10:34 pm

This is not really an error (at least, I hope it isn't) so much as a frustration; back in history when I first made my nation I must have passed a hell of a lot of tax-raising issues, because now that I've revived Aezakmi, nothing I do seems to make my nation's tax rate go down. I can't remember how many issues I've 'decided' promising massive tax cuts, but none of them have any effect. How does the game's tax-setting system work? Did I just push Aezakmi's tax so far up, back in the 'old days', that it won't come down? A tax rate of 100% is ridiculous, and doesn't fit with the way I present my nation in RP; but it seems as though I'm stuck with it. Is there anything that can be done, or do I just have to keep grinding away waiting for more tax-lowering issues?

Keep going with the tax lowering. The game doesn't stop at 100% but that is the max it will display, so you could have something insane like 300 or 400% income tax behind the scenes. Lowering taxes with every chance will eventually drop it. I used to have 100% for the longest time, then I managed to nab an issue that completely dropped my taxes to 0. Not exactly what I had in mind but... it'll do as a starting point :P

Just keep at it, and it'll drop eventually.

Cheers, mate; I suspected something like that was the case. I'll keep at it, here's hoping that issue comes along, it'd be handy :)
