If we look at South Africa no laws in 13 days no donate laws no donations within 7 days. Under dictatorship.

So PLATO said

In order for the dictator to remain in power, a daily currency fee will be automatically deducted from the Country’s Treasury. If the payment can not be done, Democracy will be reinstated automatically and Dictatorship will be removed without any liberation war. The amount of money needed for the Daily Dictatorship Upkeep will be 50% of a Country’s Income, with a minimum value of 25 Gold at Monetary Market Exchange Rate.

The Upkeep will be in effect starting 31st of March 2017 (Day 3,419), thus giving all countries time to set their political affairs in order.


So unless the upkeep fee was removed for 6 days by tomorrow it will reset to democracy my guess is that this update was never in fact introduced.

Other facts are why would this not reflect in the table of income.
