Government salaries

Can someone tell me why the government salaries are going up while i'm trying to reduce their salaries each game month?

automation turned on?

No it's not and I don't understand it as i've got all the automation settings turned off now.

Do you have economic protection turned on? If so, it will override any settings you have turned off.

No I don't, i've just checked it and I still don't know why.

Well I am experimenting with the salaries by trying to have the govt salaries down to 30.0 while the state corps up to 9999.0

Whether this could be the root of the problem I don't know.

HUH? James James James, sounds like you are somewhat confused. Look at the 'update salaries for government workers and the army, depending on the economy' automatic help and be sure it is turned off. This is different from economic protection.

setting your gov salaries real low and your corp ones high will do massive amounts of harm, put it back now.

Look at your countries details, 'major country indexes' and in that list at the bottom you will see a corp salary index. You need to set your gov salary index to 75% of this or just above. Dont do this though until you have corrected your corp salaries back to normal.

Any more problems, just ask the omnipotent, master of game play, the one and only:

I was just testing this on slave as a way to how I can raise a large army by paying them on the cheap and thanks I will do.
