[OC] The Deepest Hole Ever Drilled Reached 0.19% of the Way to Earth’s Centre

Source: Kola Superdeep Borehole depth from Popov et al. (1999). Earth radius and internal layers from NASA and USGS. Eiffel Tower height: 330 metres.

Tools: Python with Pillow. The Earth cross-section uses an exact radial scale.

At full 5400 px resolution, the true scale borehole depth is 3.46 px.

The borehole is approximately 37 Eiffel Towers deep. If Earth were reduced to 1 metre wide, the hole would be 0.96 mm deep.

How do I prevent my people from committing tax evasion?

Recently got back into the game again after a year break. However just cannot get further than the very early stages of the game because I run out of money and death spiral.

I have a tax collector, and from my taxes overview it says that the expected tax revenue is 64 per month. But if I look into the stats on what actually gets collected, only 5 income were generated through taxes every month. I tried this 4 times now with new starts, the numbers vary but the end result is that nearly no one is paying their taxes meaning I cannot expand, cannot sustain my buildings necessary to keep my population moderately happy, and then everything falls apart.

Did they change how taxes function? Am I missing something? Do I need to hire soldiers to throw anyone into the stockades that commits tax fraud against their rightful ruler?
