Is it possible

Is it possible for a sc world to go into a global recession? Just wondering

Short answer: if there are enough bad players, yes

But shouldnt the wc3 countries have an effect on the global economy also

They do. But they're mindless and unadaptive. They could be a tool if the GM wanted to get involved, but their default AI wouldn't do much for the world economy. Players have a huge impact.

Well, there are times when supplies of some necessary materials are in such shortage that it's difficult to get enough of them. This has been partly solved with the new guarantee that immediate orders are always immediately processed. The immediate orders prevent a total collapse of the economy but they drain profits. So, in a sense that is a yes to your question.

i've seen players dump so much of a resource on the market, that all the corps of a particular product lost money, and many of them closed. to such a degree that it took several real life months for it to recover.

seen it happen with oil, EP, FMUs, and many key products.

how ever, in those cases, the player(s) involved, spent along time building the stock pile.

i've always wondered, that with a co-operative effort, a group of players can destroy a supply set, and gain control of it. it'd take doing something like buying all the services you could, while flooding the market with AT, the normal AT corps wouldn't be able to buy their supply of services, and wouldn't be able to sell their own products for a profit, destroying many of the AT corps. then with the reduces AT production, you flood services, and buy AT, destroying the services corps.

although, that seems like a lot of effort

hey does anyone know how i can get some aid from the security council

you'll want to check the members of the security council page, and message one of them.

one of them can propose to send you aid, the members will vote, and if it passes, then then all the presidents on a planet get to vote. it usually passes, but vets just being greedy are normally voted down
