I found that Ars treats a net income 3x higher that CoL into unemployment.
And of course, Employment Reform is worthless in mid to long term...

The automation index is 253, so I think it's fair to assume most labor is derived from the use of machines. Not that that's a bad thing, I've introduced basic income via the task option and social benefits cover the COL.

Automatization isn't the problem. It's how the game measures the unemployed. People not looking for employment shouldn't be included in that statistic.

Income ballooned again. Damn... my citizens be rich

Your Debt rate is constantly increasing. Do you plan to eventually introduce Anarcho-Capitalism and/or Liberalism to counter this?

I'm trying a similar screw-all spending strategy in my Russian template state of Kusari. So far so good. I just implemented Bank reform I and will try to save up more APs so I can hopefully do Freeland.

I don't think Helsworth or RW see debt as an issue. Their models call for constant accumulation of debt without intention of repaying. Models based on more real world concepts are usually more sustainable and able to stave off crisis by using reserve growth capacity (debt accumulation) mostly during those times.

Greece is the best example on why debt is bad,the U.S. has only last long because the position of the dollar secures its financing. Europe as a whole is the most interesting example as Germany has essentially resurrected the fourth reich in the form of Eurozone and Euro Commission and ECB. It generates a surplus from exports, uses those fake surpluses to supply euro banks, banks enslave economies, nations bend to EU rules for more enslavement loans.
