Economic Laws
Current List of Economic Laws as of the Nov. 18 2023 Update

Economic Laws allow a country to manage their economy by modifying the governmental, military, technological, and taxation branches. There are nine categories that can be used in the module: Taxation Laws, Military Spending, Security Spending, Government Spending, Healthcare Spending, Education Spending, Research Spending, Anti Corruption Spending and Reconstruction Spending.

Description

Economic Laws introduce upgrades and downgrades depending on various factors upon activating a said law. Said law will then extract a specific amount of money from your current nation's income, where the calculated price depends on the given level, type of law, and the nation's population. However, selecting a level(s) that is not affordable in accordance to the generated income will initiate a deficit warning, meaning more money is being loss than being gained, though it can be changed to a more suitable measure.

To access the panel, Press E on your keyboard (or your flag in the lower left on mobile, then click economy), press "Economic Laws" and you will find 9 sections which are: Taxation Laws, Military Spending, Security Spending, Government Spending, Healthcare Spending, Education Spending, Research Spending, Anti Corruption Spending and Reconstruction Spending.

Economic Law List/Charts

Notes

• Military Spending does not have a fixed cost compared to the other economic expenditures. Instead, it multiplies the military upkeep with a specified number depending on the level selected.
• The red buttons located in the left of each array, besides Military Spending, overrides the spending to none.
• The Anti Corruption Spending is the most expensive law to upkeep, as it costs almost twice as much than that of Research Spending.
• Reconstruction Spending doesn't have a set cost that scales with population unlike the other economic laws. It only becomes an expense once you control a scorched city. If there are no scorched cities, the economic law has no cost.
