It also took me some minutes. However I have never looked at the
happiness stuff so I didn't report it.

The above means IMHO: "You start with 2 content citizen because your
base is 3 content citizen (because you use $current_government) and
one content citizen is unhappy because of your empire size this also
depends on your government. You get 1 additional unhappy citizen for
every 7 cities over 13 (you have 18 cities total)."

If this is correct the remaining problem is to squeeze it into one
line.

I think this is a good idea. Does anybody see disadvantages?
