Babies cannot pay tax. Lets say population starts paying tax when they are 20. 20 years is 240 turns. Not gunna happen.

Mebbe, and I think 20 is an awfully high taxpayer age for a medievalish time-frame, but it'd be easy enough for the event to reflect something that happened in the past:

"Under the influence of the stars, fourteen years ago every woman in this province gave birth to twins."

Frankly, I like the other way better. You can imply either:

a) The effect is felt today from the event being reported.

-or-

b) There's some sort of 'baby tax' that parents pay.

The idea remains valid however you put it though.
