I've never played this game, but I am both amused and horrified by the notion of tax rate depending on education level.
I suspect it might be meant as a proxy for tax brackets based on income, I don't think (could be wrong), that the game keeps track of each citizen's salary, but they want to represent the phenomenon of better paying jobs generally requiring more education, and it does track education level
I play this game and was horrified when I saw that. Seems like a mistake. It's really taxing them by income level, as education is what determines income level.
The biggest challenge I face is getting people to go to elementary school. I think 15% of the population is uneducated and 60% is well educated.
Can't you make it illegal not to, like in the USA?
I think the problem is that they try and drive to school but they get stuck in traffic for a week. Traffic flow in the city is really bad. I'm working on public transport networks now.
