--- Fed HUD ---

The easiest way to earn massive amounts of gold is with the Fed HUD. BUT... you must be vigilant & you must have at least 1 subject. The Disease/Disaster/Crime/Famines are your friend if you'll let them be. Don't pay the highest amount unless your doing a research.

On your Accounting tab it says Population xxx % of capacity. You want that # as close to 5000% as possible. What this means is every 2 years (January of even years) you'll earn MASSIVE amounts of gold in the census. If you go over 5000% you will hit cap and in September of an even year your citz will die back to 5000%, so form an alliance and pass them along!

This percentage goes up everytime you pay the maximum for a Disease/Disaster/Crime/Famine as you earn more citizens (population) when you do so (by about 75-100% each time). If you have an ally with more land than you, you can also ask them to send some citizens to you when they are capped or close to capped out, or vice versa.

90% of population equals the regular HUD rate of gold earning. If you're there great, but you can increase your gold earning and thus your land buying ability and trader payment ability by following the steps above.

So a trick to get a jump start on this process is to ally with someone in your upline. And have them send you some citizens. Once you're at 3000-4000% it grows a lot quicker.

What is the benefit of the embassies?

They let you pass a larger amount of citizens and fewer get angy in the xfer, they give you increased opportunities for high land sells, and if ya get 4 of 'em they give you a +1g/acre. A very *un*-useful (IMO) option is they also give you a chance to spy on your ally.
