Once again, we had to add that to stop people from exploiting the 
system. Some assholes put their taxes to insane levels for one turn - a 
damage they could still control - and then set it back.

Since we don't want to destroy a region in one turn, in case of honest 
mistakes, we made a two-part penalty: One part at the turn, one part 
immediately.

And frankly, if you put in 50% on a page that says 10% is considered 
normal, then you deserve it. If you want to try out the limits, you 
should start low, not high. You should have received first warning 
messages at 25% or so.
