Is tax revenue the only thing population affects?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Is tax revenue (and economic bonuses) the only thing directly linked to population (other than being invaded etc). Or does your population produce research and production too? Or are research and production soley a function of buildings that produce a fixed amount of those things (and the few buildings that modify those fixed amounts by a percent).

Your population also has a strong influence on planetary influence. Moreso, in fact, than it does for economics. The tax benefits tail off as population rises, but influence doesn't (so far as I know).

Hi!

You'll find the answer on wiki: Population.

Also, more pop means more potential soldiers and more soldiers to defend against invasions, if you're worried about troop transports getting to that world.

1) Taxes(always around 60% of your income)
2) Planetary influence.
3) Troops.
4) UP votes(combined with influence)
5) Overpopulation can be a weight on your approval.

That's all I can think of.

And thus...more money via Tourism income :)

I think I understand. So by the same token 'Economy' only effects your ability to collect taxes? The higher your Economy, the more you wring out of taxes. Research and Industry are completely controlled by base production buildings, and economy and population have nothing to do with either.

Doh! Sorry, I forgot about that one.
