Improvements

Description
Nation improvements are structures and improvements that you can purchase to further mold your nation into your own choosing. Nation improvements are quite expensive but the benefit is that they are not subject to outside forces. Unlike regular infrastructure in war, improvements cannot be destroyed by other nations. Improvements are stackable, so purchasing two banks (for example) will increase your population income +12%. You may only purchase one building per 1000 working citizens. Nations are limited to 5 per type of improvement unless otherwise specified. If you do not meet all the requirements for an improvement you will not see that imrovement on the improvement purchase screen. You can destroy an improvement in the improvement purchase screen. It costs $500 to destroy an improvement (you don't get any money back). This option will not appear unless you have at least $500.

The nation improvements option are based on the KISS method. They use simple words like Bank and School instead of Ministry of Finance and Department of Education since it's easier to code and easier for everyone to understand. Each nation can roleplay what they mean to fit in best with its ruler's vision.

FAQ
Is it possible to purchase more than one university, since you need three schools for each university and the building limit is five?
 * Yes you can purchase 2 universities. After you buy three schools you can then purchase multiple universities (not just one).  You don't need three schools per university.

If I purchase an improvement and then later lose a portion of my population, will I still be able to keep the improvement?
 * Yes, it's possible to lose population in a number of ways which would put you under the 1,000 people per improvement limit. You still get to keep the improvement(s) you already purchased.
