Bonus Resources

From the Cyber Nations Wiki, the wiki dedicated to the Cyber Nations Game.

There are currently 11 bonus resources in the game. Bonus Resources are additional resources you can gain for your nation that can only be obtained through +resource links. Some bonus resources are more easily attainable than others (they require fewer resource links).

For example, if one were to have fine jewelry and affluent population, they would look at the totals on the table for affluent population, and only add the +1.5 happiness granted by fine jewelry.
