So I logged on today and noticed this message in my news.

The corporation Mousle Services in Ballistic has been closed because the market value and utilization are too low and the corporation is making losses. 263762 employees were fired

That was a brand new corp I'd built recently so why the heck is it been closed? Especially when the market for services is -3,653,903,906

My account is new so I cant change to the trade strats I want. Are the GM trade strats to blame?

I cant see were I've made a misatke since im not allowed to change anything.

The only thing that I can set are the salaries. Which are at 300. Should they be lower for start up companies?

Advice pls as I dont want to loose anymore good corps?

Just to add. I've been a member since April 22, and I still cannot change the sales strategy on my Country Corps.

I also often get the above mentioned message, as well as a message stating that the corp debt is too high, when there is in fact no corp debt.

Please let us know what is going on. Is there some control that we are missing perhaps?

Thanks.

Sylar,

The number of corporations closing is very low.
they never close before a year after they are built and they must suffer large losses and have very good reasons to close. There are no arbitrary closing what so ever for many years.

If this happens again, please mail us directly and I will be able to give you the details.
It seems that other wise, both your country and enterprise are doing very good.

I checked both your countries and all corporations except for one are profitable. They are all doing great.
None were closed for anything like above mentioned reasons, it must be a misunderstanding.
You can see it the country newspaper. One weapons corporation was closed by the president two days ago.

Thanks for the reply Andy, and for looking at each of our setups personally.

You are right I did close the most recent corp. manually. Part of the reason was that I saw the same messages and figured I would plan the replacement corp and close the corp being messaged in the way we discussed, before it happened. On reviewing of the message again, I realize that it is an "or" statement and not "and", so the messaging was correct, it was not in debt but it was losing some money.

One last thing, how can I begin to control the trading strategies of my State Corps? This will perhaps prevent the closure from losing too much money early on.

Thanks again Andy.

Thx for the reply Andy. I was just a little suprised to see it closed especially since like you say my country is doing well plus the checks you guys have put in place to help us. I'll let you's know if it happens again. My 2 weeks is up soon anyway.

I had my country for 15 days now, and I still can't adjust my trade stategies either. Any thoughts?

Also I noticed my employment is starting to drop again, I don't know if it's because I'm lacking one profession that affects all the others, but then again I can't adjust my ed priorities yet either...

Making a copr profitable is very difficult

Can somebody take another look for me?

My country is

The Peoples Republic of Malizi


Thank you
