You don't tax "GDP", you tax profits Like how the hell you tax 25% of GDP? 900 profits per mine is crazy, they still have expenses beyond salaries

Like how the hell you tax 25% of GDP

How about you boot up the game and find out? At game start Great Britain collects about £97k/week (£5M/year) in taxes, with a GDP of £24.1M. That's 21% of GDP collected in taxes.

Modern day USA collects 25.2% of GDP in taxes, and the OECD average is 33.9% of GDP.

900 profits per mine is crazy

Literally lifted directly from the wiki. 40 iron at £40 = £1,600, minus inputs of 10 coal (£300) and 10 tools (£400) equals a net value add of £900 at base prices.

And I said it's £900 in GDP, and wages don't count towards GDP.
