bah.. there's something seriously strange with regional gov.
all but 3 planets within my home planet's regional gov circle is losing money, including one that didn't trade for the turn and expected to have ~400k income but actually ended up losing 500 for the turn (it was building sensor 1).
the only 3 that didn't lose money were building planetary defense. (odd....) the others had pd/bases scrapped the turn before..
they all have 20% tax
the home planet takes in around 3 mil from regional tax, which seems rather too excessively high for 13 planets that had an average of low to mid ranged 6 figure incomes each.
will continue to monitor numbers... but it's strange.
