Note that future reports will probably include further sub-division of Rumelia - most specifically, Serbia, and probably Bosnia/Croatia.  I just haven't gotten to it yet.

Should be noted that because the initial research formula in the spreadsheet misses the '/2' bit, you actually have an R&D Capacity of $0.50 ((2-1)/2 = 0.5) at Constantinople and not $1.00.

Oh, hell. 

[Walter]

Sounds like that just ruined your evil construction plans...

[Kaiser Kirk]

Oh, hell.

Yeah I wasn't happy to find that error. 
Worse, when I started looking ahead, population growth would eliminate my sole research $.
So I had to shift population around to gain breathing room...which then made some IC less efficient, costing me $.

The secret moonbase is definitely on hold for a bit.

Worse, when I started looking ahead, population growth would eliminate my sole research $.

With my initial IC/pop test run that did not happen since I was using 1 decimal and that meant that no matter how many times I copy/pasted the stuff, nothing was added population-wise at Guangzhou. After that, I changed it to 3 decimals so population slowly increases there as well now. That is indeed also something you will have to keep an eye on: An increase in population that would mean that your research budget drops below what you need for the next HY.

So I had to shift population around to gain breathing room...which then made some IC less efficient, costing me $.

Well alternatively you could also just add an IC to the region that is about to lose the research $ instead of shifting the population around. That will give you some research space then for a while...

... so I guess that here in Navalism, the movie Iron Sky will become Iberian Sky...

While certainly an option, I want to ameliorate the historic Italian immigration from Southern Italy by dumping IC in it. But rotating where I build IC to try to equalize development levels is financial beneficial, but fails to generate research dollars.
It seemed easiest to deduct 0.06 pop from the middle of the country (1.01->0.95)to buy some time. In a couple years time that gap gets used, but then I should be able to afford to add IC for RD purposes.

Quick test run shows that you should be okay until 1905. Then you need to add an IC for RD as in 1906 the population will get above 1 million.
