Tax Advice

[Amhazair]

Note that overtaxing itself also causes a population loss. (Don't know the rate offhand, so not sure if that can explain the population loss you experienced.) As far as I remember the formulas in the manual haven't been disproved though, so should be easy enough to check.

According to the manual, each 3% tax > 100% kills 0.1% population. (I wonder if that should be 5%, so that unrest +/-1 per 3% is symmetrical?)

But per my agument, that's just percentages anyway, when you figure the final income. The only "difference" remains the fixed 10 people per 1 unrest, assuming that is correct.

A gentler suggestion to @Bat/man is that 700 pop for 20 unrest would be way too high... Mind you... 200 dead to patrol away that leaves 500, at 200% tax above formula (assume 3%) would cost 3.3%, I make that 15,000-ish population to see 700 die on tax at 200% plus patrol 20 unrest down to 0... ?
