I recently noticed something i didn't know yet about Victoria. It got the impression that social reforms increase in cost for every extra million of poppulation you get, and that the amount of increase depends on what percentage that extra million is of youre existing poppulation.
Playing as Texas, i had a socialist party in power, (which has to pay a higher minimal upkeep in social reforms than a liberal party) , lots of plurality, and setting my social reforms just so high that i could still upkeep that minimum with some left, i had immigrants flocking in drove's, and by flocking i mean no less than 2 and a half million immigrants per year, a rate far higher than i usually get with a liberal party. However, before these immigrants started flocking in, i had only like 2 to 3 million people, when my poppulation doubled in a year, the cost of my social reforms doubled too, and in no time i went from having few poppulation and plenty of nett gain, to a situation where i had millions flocking in and a net loss on my budget which kept rising. Even having a third of those immigrants stack in railroaded precious metals province's didn't bring in enough money.
Am i correct to think that if you have social reforms, and youre poppulation goes from 2 million to 4 million that this doubles the costs, while going from 20 million to 22 million is only a 10% increase in cost?
