Country. Soylent Black on Lu

I was trying to figure out why this country was negative profit and I checked the financial page and state run corps profits and found this. This graphs shows 0 profit for months and months. How can this possibly be??? This Country had 70 state run corps. It was not until I took a few private that the state run corps started showing any profit.

Now with 63 state run corps i'm only making 500mil profit a month. Not even 1 bil. Government cost are 58 bil. To me, this is broken. Simple. Just broken.

This is why Crazyeye left the game.

I think something got stuck. The corporate profit sharing is set to 80 and the corps made profit that year according to the individual corp page.

I know a player had her country do almost the same thing because the server froze during the processing of her country at the beginning of the month. She emailed the gm's and they said it did process, but the next day the problem continued and come to find out the country was stuck and it DID NOT process. They wound up giving her 10 GC to compensate for that month.

This Country was at 0 for a year.. I think something got stuck and did not correct itself until I started taking corps private.

This was CrazyEye's country and is part of the reason he quit the game sadly.

Compensation for the year these corps were stuck at 0 would be nice.

We I just had two cargo shuttle corps that were topped of with supplies and corps for the last real month running fine and suddenly close for no reason. I topped off all supplies then topped off cash. The corps had no loans.

It is pretty sick that CEO's corps suck the profit back into from your cash reserve back into a corp that needs cash to stay afloat.

Why is this not the case with cargo shuttle corps? Or any state corps for that matter.

Most state corporations are profitable.
Some that are not, are producing products with a surplus on the market. the price of the product is down and the corporation does not make a profit.

it might also be that you changed the tax levels or contribution level percentages.
In such a case, there is a back service that can diminish your profit as the money goes to the country.

if you reduce tax and the back service will shoot your net profit up.

one or two days with no changes, will bring the profit to the correct level.
