Victoria 3 – Pop Needs and Goods Substitution Guide

The different pop needs, what goods that they require, and what they can be substituted for.

Introduction

All pops in Victoria 3 have various needs depending on their wealth level, and require goods to fulfil those needs.

They do not need all goods, and any good from each category can be substituted completely for another (With a different value depending on the item’s base price.)

At the moment this is not made very clear by the game, and you have to dig through multiple tooltips to find this information. That’s why I’ve organised it into this handy guide, sorted by the wealth level of the pops.

I love two things in life, games and sports. Although sports were my earliest interest, it was video games that got me completely addicted (in a good way). My first game was Crash Bandicoot (PS1) from the legendary studio Naughty Dog back in 1996. I turned my passion for gaming into a job back in 2019 when I transformed my geek blog (Re-actor) into the gaming website it is today.
