Population, Taxation, and PP

[center]Population, Taxation and PP[/center]
[center]How to Use People to Achieve Your Goals[/center]
Population
You begin with 100,000,000 people (100 million). Your population
grows by 2% per cycle.
Currency Units
In the RP, we represent money with MegaCredits, or MC.
Taxes
Every cycle, you need to get money from your people. Otherwise,
you'd have no money left. To simplify things, we assume that no
matter the taxation system you use, you end with with the same
net gain. This includes your income from taxation, and any
expenses with regards to healthcare and education which you may
have to provide if your tax rate is very high. Your tax income
in MC is equal to your population divided by 2 000 000, so if
you have 100 000 000 people then your tax income would be 50 MC
each cycle.
When your nation is accepted, you start off with 50 MC in your
treasury.
Embargoes
Embargoing another nation makes you and the target nation lose
2.5 MC per cycle until the embargo is lifted. Everybody is
assumed to be trading from the start.
Production Points
Production Points, or PP, are used to do things. They represent
the industrial capacity of your entire state. A project, such as
a building, will cost so many PP. So, you put that much PP
towards the project until it's complete. It takes one hour to
use one PP, and costs 1 MC to use one PP. For example, I want to
build a house, costing 5 PP, and I have 50 PP: I put 5 PP of my
50 towards building the house, for five hours, and I spend 5 MC.
In five hours, the house is done and those 5 PP go back into my
main pool for use later. While those 5 PP are in use, my pool
will only have 45 PP left in it.
Your base PP pool is calculated by dividing your total
population by 1 000 000. This can be increased by certain
bonuses, but this is the base value.
Say you want to build five houses, though. If you were to build
them one after another, then it would take 25 hours, like you'd
expect. However, since you're only building one at a time,
you're only actually using 5 PP over those 25 hours. You still
spend 25 MC. This is called doing projects in series. If you
build them all at the same time, then you would still spend 25
MC, but you would be using 25 PP over 5 hours. Remember though,
you can't use more PP than you have in total, so with this
example I could only build ten houses at the same time. If I
wanted to build eleven houses I'd have to wait until some of
them were done to free up PP.
Projects can also be sped up. This is called doing them at
double speed. The project will cost twice as much PP and MC, but
will take half the time. Similarly, you can slow them down to
half speed, so they will cost half as much PP and CU, but take
double the time.
