I was under the impression that the effects of resources multiplied against each other, but when looking at the claimed benefits of many trade circles, the authors add the effects together. So do resource modifiers multiply or add against each other? Would fish, wheat, and cattle yield a 1.22472 or 1.21 population modifier?

If you are trying to find out what your new population will be after an infrastructure investment, then yes, the ratio will be accurate.

I believe that citizen base income increases by a penny per infrastructure level. I'm not fully certain about the base level for citizens per infrastructure level. I'm guessing it's around 7.5. This number effectively changes due to nation age and enviroment, though. Of coarse, one can always divide their nation's working citizens by infrastructure level to find their current ratio.

I'm not 100% certain on this, but I'm pretty sure I've got it figured out. If anyone notices some errors, I will edit. 1-4: 500 5-8: 600 9-13: 750 14-19: 950 20-29: 1200 30-39: 1500 40-49: 2000 50+: 3000

Great. I've been needing some data from the 40-49 range. I'm pretty sure your costs will stay at 2,000 until you hit 50.

...As is written in the Cyber Nations Infromation Index, "You must pay taxes on your nation improvements at a starting rate of $500 per day (this figure goes up the more improvements you own.)" When I write "improvement tax," I am referring to the bill you must pay for your improvements...And yes, TheDave, you are right. I don't know how that one slipped passed me.

Thanks everyone. I'm getting close but still need more data, especially in the 4-8 and 40-49 ranges.

At one time I only payed 475 per improvement. I don't know why, nor do I know why my tax returned to its normal price. I also have an alliance mate who currently pays at this same rate. This would be fantastic.

Does anyone know the formula to determine improvement tax? Additionally, does anyone know how to lower the improvement tax (without lowering the number of improvements, obviously)? I've been under the assumption that the tax starts at 500 per improvement, then increases 250 every ten improvments. But discourse with some large nations leads me to believe this might not be true.
