The Math of Simcountry

I'm new and wondering if anyone has a link or reference to at least some of the formulas used for the calculations in Simcountry?

Specifically I'm looking for material on the micro of corporations. (Any others would be good too) For example how is net income calculated here?

Is the actual monthly revenue "Products Sold last month"? Also what goes into expense? When I take what I assume is revenue and subtract tax, etc. i'm not getting the net income reported.

As another example, I'm looking for the actual tax rate of the citizens? It looks like 24 - 25%, but it would be nice to see documentation on it.

The game looks like an awesome economics game.

Thanks to any for the help.

They don't document the formulas for most things, not to mention that many things fall victim to "banana smoothing" to make it easier for the children to play. Anyway, in short:

Products sold last month is revenue.
Tax is based on profit.

Thanks for the info Scarlet. From what you said I gather a lot of trial and error is involved. I never thought to see if e was involved in growth, though that does make sense.

I did play the war game pretty heavy two years ago (hi crazy) and generally just let CEOs into the country for profit. The game looks to have changed a lot, and I'm curious of the mechanics now.

I appreciate the the response!

i'm interested in real time cashflow, if i sold or bought something, i wish it would automatic add or subtract from my financial statements. at the moment, i don't think they do so i never know what money i have, until i log in the next time then i'm either positive or negative on cashflow.

i wish there are formulas what products affect another products.
