[Protectorate of Curland]

Ahem....

For the purposes of paperwork, the PoC has officially disbanded. Any wars that we were engaged in (none that we know about), we concede.

The way that I have always read that sentence is that the additional economic penalty was that you could not send foreign aid.

Anyways, that answers the question. Thanks.

[Peace mode]

Is there an additional drop in happiness after 14 days?

National Peace/War Preference - The Peace/War Preference option allows you to specify whether or not you want to allow other nations to declare war on you and attack your nation or to play the game as a peaceful nation. Keeping your nation in peace mode for prolonged periods of time will damage your nations economy. New nations get a 7 day grace period when in peace mode to allow them to learn the game without receiving any economic penalties. If your nation is older than 7 days and you remain in peace mode for more than:

4 days = -3 population happiness

6 days = -5 population happiness

8 days = -6 population happiness

10 days = -7 population happiness

12 days = -8 population happiness

14 days = -9 population happiness

There is also an additional economic penalty on top of the population happiness penalty if your nation is in peace mode for more than 5 days. A nation in peace mode may not send foreign aid, however it will be allowed to continue to receive foreign aid. In order to exit peace mode nations are required to collect taxes on the day that they wish to change out of peace mode.

[Concerning Taxes]

sigh....I knew that those were going to be brought up. Even taking those into consideration...there seems like something is off.

Entering peace mode the citizen taxes were $131.26

After 4 days of peace mode (-3 happiness) the taxes were $127.56

After 6 days of peace mode (-5 happiness) the taxes are $73.32.

Thus, I am collecting $73.32 when I should be collecting $125.06 (by my calculations).

[Concerning Taxes]

I would like for you to check up on my nation. I think that there is something wrong with the Income Taxes Paid Per Day calculation. Last night I collected approximately $130 per citizen. This morning it is down to approximately $68.81. Nothing that I have done can account for this amount of decrease in income tax.
