Nations
When an event makes you return a worker, when does it happen, where does it go, and what does it cost to retake it?
Players report the play, but the rulebook's Growth wording points the other way, so the cost is only a best reading.

- Nations rulebook · Rulebook · Taking and Returning Workers
The return happens after production. The worker goes onto either side of your Population Track, or on top if no slot is free, and you can take it again in a later Growth step. Players report no extra food or Stability cost beyond the Growth you skip, but the rulebook's Growth step charges 3 Stability or 3 Food for each worker taken, so the retaking cost is unsettled.
