Re: Do provinces grow in pop without Growth Domain
Well, I've always assumed that the population of a province measures only the able bodied working adults. So even though babies don't pay taxes (and can't go to war, although that would be adorable), a certain percentage of the existing children in a province will reach the arbitrary adulthood cutoff (wherever it may be) each month.
Typical world population growth rates in the modern era are around 0.1% per month, so that has to be an *upper* bound on the growth rate in "normal" provinces.
So a default rate of 0.05% wouldn't be unreasonable, but it's also so small (1/4 of the growth from 1 pip of Growth scale), that it wouldn't make any difference.
