Too much money?

[Darkrenown]

In pretty much every game where you play as a country you work with a positive cashflow rather than an increasing deficit. It's just something players expect (saying "yay, I'm making money!" is more fun than "yay, I'm losing slightly less money!" even if they are functionally the same) and economists complain about.

Who says I had 100% spending or that I had more money than I could spend?

Tax/tariffs were high and besides military spending, spending was low.

£39k over 3 years is only a surplus of about £35/day, I was hardly rolling in cash.

alternatively have POPs demand spending or tax cuts or get more militant when there are large ahistorical cash stock piles.

After all, its generally rare for countries to have cash stocks.

Id you look at the screen shots from that AAR you'll see a rebel flag in the top bar. This tells you that your POPs are militant and that rebel factions are organising.
