If the selectorate expands and the coalition also expands proportionally, the coalition is fine with that.
I am confused by this. This move leaves loyalty the same, but if the same amount is spent on the coalition there are fewer private rewards per coalition member. Is this only supposed to be the case in a situation where most rewards are in the form of public goods? Is the increased competition for rewards exactly offset by higher GDP?
Right, good catch. The coalition is only fine with that when they’re on the right side of the welfare graph, when the coalition is already large enough, but not when the coalition is small.

I edited that part.
