The key here is looking up the Civilopedia, the last menu on the right. It has all the info on how much of each resource each kind of terrain yields, what improvements increase what output, and what bonuses does every government system have.
If you look it up you'll see that you'll want to irrigate and build roads across plains and grasslands, and mine hills, or if you have no hills mine deserts or mountains. Later railroads can add a little bonus to everything. Jungles and marshes are worthless, unless they have some special feature, if they don't and you're short on terrain clear them for farmland or transform them to forests if you're short on production (shields). Special features like diamonds give big bonuses with or without improvements, but you should still improve that terrain in the same way.

So... What would you say is an ideal tax setting?Lil' Ol' Communist me always keeps taking it away from the people.
Seriously, though, I always set it at 50%, and always panic about it when people start to get angry (ironically, I soon realized it never did anything).
