Administration Budget Curve

The Administration Budget Curve is calculated based on the Administration Budget (the percentage from the XML feed divided by 100). If the Administration Budget (hereafter x) is 0.3, then the Administration Budget Curve is 1, otherwise, it is 1 − x × sign(x − 0.3) × |x − 0.3|1/3 + 0.2x.

Consumer Confidence

Consumer Confidence is 1 + Economy modifier + Civil Rights modifier.

Formulæ

Output

Output is Production × Population × Worker Enthusiasm × Consumer Confidence.

Consumption

Consumption is Output × (1 − Tax Rate).

Government Budget

Goverment Budget is Output × Government Efficiency × (Tax Rate + Consumer Confidence / 10 + Worker Enthusiasm / 40).

Government Expenditures

Government Expenditures is Budget × Government Efficiency.

Government Waste

Government Waste is Government Budget − Government Expenditures.

Budget by category

The budget percentages in the XML feed are used to calculate the total budget for each of those categories. For example, the Defense Budget is Defense Budget Percent × Government Expenditures, where Defense Budget Percent is the percentage from the XML feed divided by 100.

Imports

Imports is ((1 / Consumer Confidence) / 8) × (Consumption + Government Expenditures).

Exports

Exports is Total Imports × (Output / Total Output), where Total Imports and Total Output are the sum of those values for every nation in the region.

Net Trade

Net Trade is Exports − Imports.

GDP

GDP is Consumption + Net Trade + Government Expenditures.

GDP Per Capita

GDP Per Capita is GDP / Population.

Exchange Rate

Exchange Rate is √(GDP Per Capita × Production / 404 000 000).

Unemployment

Unemployment is (GDP Per Capita − 37 500)2 × 1.25 × 10−10 − 1.5 × 10−6 × |GDP Per Capita − 37 500| + 0.03.
