Concept : Happiness

NAME
Happiness - How happiness is calculated at the update

Level: Expert

Happiness is required for countries which have any sort of technology or edu-
cation at all, with greater levels being required as the expectation (and
tech/edu levels) of the populace increases. A country with an unhappy popula-
tion can expect a decrease in the "work" of some sectors.

Also, the morale of your land units is determined by the happiness of your
people. The morale of a unit can be set by the player, but the minimum level
allowable depends on happiness. See "info morale" for details.

The "nation" command will display, among other things, your current happiness
level.

The procedure determining happiness level is exactly the same for happiness as
it is for education (see "info Education") except for the fact that "happiness
log base" is always 6.0 and "easy happiness" is always 5.0. New happiness is
averaged with old happiness in the same way that education is averaged except
that happiness averaging has its own line in the "version" output:
Happiness is averaged over 48 time units.

It has also been rumored that increasing happiness will help to keep the
rebels in check somewhat, but the exact results are sketchy at best.
