>tfw yet another mod doesn't resolve the issues with my zero-unemployment states having population shortages

update?

Try adding "Nobody" as a population group to allow for fluctation in population.
This group has to be 100% apathetic and pay no taxes.

Dear god this would be so perfect if your new policy could replace the state pensions policy (or, alternatively, if you could use your new simulations to control the cost of state pensions). But unfortunately the game doesn't mod like that :\

the population should increase or decrese

Very interesting mod I hope you keep working on it

Just an Idea, but have you ever heard of the Childless Tax in the USSR as a new policy for your mod.
In the USSR everyone who was married and did not have a child was taxed 6% of their income, if they had a child they were exempted from the tax
The effects i think would sort of like the carbon tax on this game
As CO2 emssions go down, the income of the tax goes down and vice versa; Smiliarly as more people become parents the income of the tax goes down, and vice versa
Liberals and Enviormentalists would hate it, but the Religious, Socialists, and Conservatives would love it and more people would become parents

It is not realistic. In game you have group population, but your pack not changed this population, only your parameters

I wish you all a relaxed saturday,

thank you for your response and your suggestion.

At the moment the game engine from 'Democracy 3' does not support an influence on the overall population, because this value is fixed in the game.

In the 'Positech Forum' I found the following post from the developer of the game:

http://positech.co.uk/forums/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=8876&p=66238&hilit=population#p66238

In the game-folder, you can find the stats for every country/state in the 'mission-folder'.
Here I could see, that the 'population value' is only a text-string and not a variable, which could be helpful to create some influences onto it.

But I would like to post this fact to the developer, maybe with a patch/game update from the developer, we can change this fixed value.

For the next days, I want to create manuals and maybe some other features for my demography-mod.

Special thank you to you again for your response. ;-)

please :D

Yes it would be great if the amount of population could change

Could you make the birthrate influence on overall population of the nation which stays the same through whole game?

I'm looking forward to see this develop.
