Population growth

[unmerged(23145)]

Hello all,

I bought Victoria a few days ago and I can't seem to figure out how to make the population grow.
I've made several social reforms, but that does not seem to encourage people to move to Germany. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Generaly you dont get any one moving to your country unless your playing the US or some thing ells that has immigration coded into it..

You can only grow you pop if you have low taxes and so on, the lower the more it increases, and the reforms give it a bonus in pop growth seeing you dont loss most children or any other person due tothe form of deseases or illness, hánce the Health Reform, pops with in your nation will some times move around pending on jobs available, but no other group from any nation will move to your nation, thier wont be any french moving from france to Germany, dosnt work like that.

Make sure you taxes dont go to High, try to lower to a decent lvl normal around 50% for poor, around 30-40% for middle and upper class can generaly be high like around 60-70% if they decline in their numbers then lower the laxes for the specific group, also tarrifs also play a role in pop growth, every things a factor... also the low taxes and tarrif also mean you pop is less likely to move to anther country mostly to the America's..

Also some countries have a pop modifier in their country file. France is set to .994 which means that it will get .06 percent less growth than the life rating will give it. (And of course all the other modifiers like taxes, events, etc).

It looks like there is a maximum growth rate dependent on the life rating no matter how many modifiers are added. For example, I changed France's pop mod to 5.994 but it didnt go higher than i think .26 growth rate. For 100 life rating... might be about .35 is max i think....

Good healthcare and low taxes help a lot.

Also, there are a series of inventions that are triggered by the Medicine tech that raise the rate of population growth.

In my experience if you want some nice immigaration you have to be:
1) a country Outside Europe. (Any American continent country for ex.)

2) You need a party with Laisse-faire free economy ,full citizinship for minority and secularism for relgion.Mostly federal/liberal party's ,can be aquired in free elections if most of youre pops are liberal. (build lotsa clerks/craftsmen/capitalists)

Then ,Immagration in rate is mostly dependant on social reforms ,you will have to be a democracy with some decent social reforms.It's best to make to max the social reforms before you reform youre voting right's to suffrage as with laise-faire you can't reform further up.

This really works wonders for any country in South America.Under the pop merging system immigration has a hughe advantage ,because it create's a lot of small/medium pops of distinct culture/religion wich don't merge with others.

I've seen big issues with tariffs, under certain conditions people will run like hell to America,

I had an average immigration of 0.5% in each of my prov's. When I switched tariffs from highly positive to a small negative, all my provinces went to 0% immigration - only a few provinces with unemployed clerks had problems and they moved to my capital,
