If you want to add zombies to a game that doesn't even have a semblance of a pop system what are you even doing?

I did a submod for the Elder Scrolls CK2 mod where Draugr exterminated the inhabitants of provinces (and the living recolonised provinces conquered from Draugr) using culture changes determined by events and province modifiers

We need Victoria 3 before Rome, to tie together EU and HoI, and a Svea rike steam release.

Then make a steampunk dlc for victoria 3, and cash in.

We need an Attila game before Rome II, so that it can all be properly connected to CK2.

Not everything has to be a callback. I get the feeling that a lot of modern european fascism would end up actually wanting to distance itself from 20th century fascism.

Kersch made a pretty good tutorial LP for Vicky 2, if that'd help.

I suspect your specific problem is that you're keeping land maintenance at full in peacetime - it's like EU in that you generally want to have land maintenance near zero if you're not planning on doing any fighting in the next few months. If that's not the issue, I'd need more details about who you're playing to be able to give useful advice.

That's going to be the case for a while (although it depends a lot on your nation). Tax efficiency starts very low - so you want to max out taxes on everyone just to counter it (apparently they don't really mind a nominal 90% tax rate). Raising tariffs also makes a big difference but be wary of making them too high - if your people can't afford to import the goods they need your economy will very quickly go into a death spiral. I tend to go for 10-15%, but you can fiddle with it until your budget balances out nicely.

You'll also want to slash the budget across the board. As mentioned above cutting your military maintenance budgets during peacetime is a no brainer, but you'll probably have to keep stuff like admin and education around 50% for a while, too. Once you start getting techs that improve taxation efficiency you'll be able to afford to raise these up to 100% easily but until then get used to being pretty broke.

In hundreds of hours of V2, 100% tariffs have never been a problem for me. I usually only lower them once I'm making infinite dosh anyway so my factories can be even better.
If you're a lovely tiny nation on rank 100, your people won't be able to buy goods either way.
