There are certain actions the GM procedure executes each game month that can be seen as influencing the market.
These actions take place for good reasons and in fact do not increase or reduce the total number of products on the world markets at all.
example:
The best example is C3 wars.
When a C3 country is set up for a war at some war level, it gets all the weapons, units and materials that are needed for that level.
The GM gives the country what it needs and places orders on the market.
in many cases, after the war, the C3 returns to a situation with fewer weapons and ammunition. The weapons are taken from the country and are offered on the market.
This is correctly done and does not cause dumping or shortages as it works both ways.
In some cases however, like fortifications, it can end up buying or selling some fortifications and for a product that is not traded in large quantities, it may cause fluctuations of the percentages on the utilization page.
There are more cases, including the reinitialization of abandoned countries, and countries with very large debts that are selling some of their products automatically to raise cash. |

I can understand the reasoning behind that but for certain items like fortification or bases wouldn't it be better for them to just be destroyed rather then sold on the world market?

It seems that you do not undestand the market working.
Discarding the fortifications will leave the orders of fortifications that are then discarded.
I thought you always wanted the GM to stay away. |

They complain if you do and complain if you don't... |

Maybe I'm not understanding this right
When a country is de-registered the forts are sold.
I'm just saying if this is true instead of selling them on the market they should just be deleted. That why there's not random and massive jumps in stock.
If this isn't true please help me understand. |

When countries buy fortifications, maybe 150 they get them from the market.
then they deregister, and the forts are gone?
why not register 20 countries, buy huge numbers of forts (3000) and then deregister.
this will create a nice market and price for forts.
If we make sure they are offered on the market, upon deregistration, this scheme will not work any more and the market will not be disturbed by deregistrations. |

so basically forts are never lost and are permanent fixtures in the market? this probably means there will never be any need for fortifications corps unless theres a huge war.... but i dont really care either way just saying |

Products never get lost.
they are consumed, or used in another way, or destroyed.
fortifications are used in maintenance corporations and are lost in wars.
they don't just disappear. |

they arent consumed is what i meant to say.... but i did forget about the maintenance corps |
