Originally I had a 28% income tax before refactoring. That shrunk to 4.2% as of now. I basically lost my whole army (too small to save defence), welfare and healthcare shrunk, education grew to 47% of my budget, and my government shrunk to 11.3% of GDP.
Yet my crime is still (relatively) low, my health is 25, my inequality is oddly low, and I'm off the charts on gilded widgets (business subsidies). I find it odd so much has changed positive.
A little background: my nation was initially created as a dictatorship. Then, it became democratic, but because I repealed policies, my crime skyrocketed to high. So I increased the law and order budget. I would think that now it has declined by half, my crime would probably by moderate.
It just seems too go to be true.
Actually, your nation's health is at 7 now, lifespan at 25, intelligence at 25, niceness at 26 and public healthcare at 6 (as you indicated, that's quite low). Safety and safety from crime are very low (below or at average) and welfare is low.
I wouldn't say your business subsidies are off the charts, as they are at 20 (mine are at 217). The reason it's a large part of your government pie chart is probably because your tiny public spending is concentrated to just a few areas, including business subsidies.
Considering these factors, your income equality of 144 is great though!
