Country size

I have 172 corporations and a population which exceeds the recommended daily allowance. When I consult the important things to do it shows my target corporation level at 242. This seems at odds with the penalties imposed for having a large population within a country. what's up?

I thnk that if you allow peaceful play that you should either remove the penalty for population size in a Country or extend the optimum size for an empire. You run out of growth prospects pretty soon.

I wasn't aware that there is a recommended daily allowance of population ;)

Anyway, this is a known issue and doesn't affect your score. It is probably impossible to reach the target corporation numbers. I think that number was set back when corporations needed far fewer people.

I will have that number checked.
I think it is based on 2.0 corporations per million of population.

The average corporation size increased in the past year in terms of the number of workers, the production and profitability.
However, as craig said, it has no influence on your score.

Max population these days can approach 300M and with good healthcare, decline will be very slow.

That page should be upgraded.

Thanks for the answers. I've been laboring under a delusion or two.

Does this mean that the optimum number of corporations in an enterprise is now greater than the documentation indicates?
