A relevant property of the German system: few professors.

Only professor can examine students, apply for certain grants, sit on certain committees, ... (with minor exceptions). Privilege, sense of entitlement - and multitasking, which they're not good at, so they delegate many things to juniors.

Nice idea! Perhaps you can do a "your donation cubed" next?

Each step goes
- x EUR and x^2 people;
- to (x+1) EUR and (x+1)^2 people.

This version is less constrained by people with a giving constraint. If everyone gives 100, you already have 1 million. Each EUR you give has a larger multiplier.
