God this comment section is cancerous

не дает он золото за каждого жителя, зато недовольства хоть отбавляй!

The extortion agency! Unhappines should be increased a lot more. No one likes being robbed.

Love the concept, but like a few others, gona pass on general principle

totally OP as india.

This country went down in 2008 when we got a democrat in office.I still dont understand why people believe in redistribution of wealth(communists cough cough cough).

I laughed until I cried when I saw this, brilliant!

i used to love this country until 2006 then everything went to hell

blood suckers they got their fangs in all of us?! and dont give a shiot if your poor and can barely make ends meet gimmegimmegimme(why i say i dont want this mod!

No.

This is the best thing I've ever subscribed to since sliced bread. Witty, humerous, and a great wonder. I'm with apshai on a healthcare.gov wonder.

@Hooper_X lol dont know if trolling or mistake, but 0.5 unhapiness per citizen is 2.5x more than 20%

i like the idea lot. Maybe take down the unhappess penility down abit

I would love to see a Healthcare.gov wonder mod. Any chance of making that?

People complain about both taxes and the state of the roads. It never ceases to amuse me.

I don't necessarily agree with the 20% Unhappiness malus here - that's way too steep for the gain you get. This feels more like a complaint about the IRS than it does an actual game modification. +1 gold for every citizen at a cost of 0.5 Unhappiness per citizen, perhaps.

Also, the obvious quote: "...In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." - Benjamin Franklin

@RedneckRapture, lol they probaly will until a Rebel Militia appears like in the Fall of Rome scenario

Not even here, we can escape from IRS.. sad..

@RedneckRapture - Rebel spawning will have to do for now.

Great idea for a mod. tried to do this on a PTWE version. 15 cities without occupying troops. The moment the wonder finished, I went from 10 happiness to -54. The gold is great, but idk if it's that much unhappiness great. Good mod otherwise.

Will they audit one city more than other cities since we don't have political parties in this game?

@Azradun -- The idea of taxation, I think, is already incorporated into the game in that you own your citizens and they are forced to work the land for the benefit of the empire. If one were to incorporate taxation on the citizens into the Civ5 setting, one would expect there to also be an unhappiness driven element of civil unrest -- your cities can rebel and become city states if you tax them too much, type of a deal.... Empire of the Fading Suns used to be like that.

Now we just need a mod that adds Sen.Ted Cruz who tries to abolish the IRS after 10 turns and you must support or oppose him

Good, there should be taxation in the game. I mean, it was there since the Middle Ages, so why not?

Culture from the IRS? Maybe negative culture if anything from those evil bastards. I really hate the IRS which is why I may have to download and try this mod.

I love it, the IRS is the most advanced and accurate of all government Departments in the US and all over the world. Executives from other U.S. Government agencies and from other countries tour the IRS all year round to observe and learn how the IRS is organized and functions

The greatest evil this existence has ever conscieved.
