Fake data simulation to the rescue!

I couldn't get optimization to work when working with the model for German migration, so I finally decided to generate a full dataset using the model itself. Then try to recover the parameters I used. Still had problems... which is a bad sign, but led to debugging some simple code bugs... and now it fits like crazy!
