Bug? Government Salary Reductions

I've had government salaries reduced in both of my countries in the past day due to having "high debt and making losses".

My main country, Commonwealth of Kahveh on WG, has 21T in cash and making about 15B per month. Why are my salaries being reduced?

I've had this also happen. Must be a beginner's protection feature that gets triggered some how unintentionally.

It I had to put money on it you spent a time purchasing weapons and it made the game think you were going heavily into debt. May not be the reason but very well could be. Maybe GM could add to their long list and check this issue out. Maybe the reductions is salaries shouldn't be triggered as they are now.

I've noticed that this protection feature is usually triggered when you sell large amount of goods to the market.

Used to be just an issue for me on WG for the longest time; I didn't bother asking because I don't know what the response would be...

It'll be the buying large amounts of goods on the market - due to the Spending Space limit, it barely made a dent in my cash level, but apparently it's still enough to trigger salary reductions.

Yea it's just one of those things that quite honestly may always remain a mystery.
