Between all of my corporations, I believe I am earning somewhere around $200 billion per month in profit. I set profit transfer to 100% however, it only shows $20 billion being transferred back to the country...

for financials, are you meaning profit & Loss for month, year to date, or expected year? Is that what you are meaning?

Through settings you can set financials on secret, so others cant see them. In that case you had to uncheck it, but this is not the case with your country, its non-secret, so we can see them.

In answer to your question. Why do you believe you are earning around 200b per month in profit? And what do you mean with this precisely?

My observation: You receive 47b in corporate taxes and 36b in profit payments. Please be aware profit payments are after taxes. Your education and health indexes are very high, which is good. But your welfare is still very low (try to aim for 128-130 welfare index). This is because of your transporation index being 78 instead of 128-130 and your supply index being on 0 instead of 100, which is shocking..

The welfare index is computed with the health, education, transportation, supply, social security, salary and employment indexes. https://www.simcountry.com/cgi-bin/cgip?loadDocument&miDocument=features

This affects corporations welfare and thereby corporations production levels.
Build more roads, traintracks and water treatment facilities to push up your transportation index to 130. In order to get your supply index to 100, which is needed for a good welfare index, you need to resolve your materials deficit, which is 5.38T (I must confess, I never saw it this high). To resolve your materials deficit, you need to buy the materials needed.. And to resolve this, you need cash.

Also you have built quite many high tech corporations. They are not bad, but require highly skilled workers and are less profitable than natural resource corporations.

What I would do in your situation? Assuming you have no spare cash. IPO your state corporations as much corporations as you can down to 1%. Dont IPO 100%, you want the relative majority stake. The total value of your State Corporations is 36T so lets say you can generate 10T this way. You can resolve all the defecits. Now after IPOing down to 1% just close the IPOed corporations 4 per month as fast as you can, and build natural resource corporations in place of them as fast as you can. Best to use booster to build 3 per month. Closing corporations will tank your employment index which is also involved in welfare index so do it as fast as you all can or try to close down the corporations gradually, as long you can build the new ones as fast as you can.

I would also recommend changing the supply quality of your corporations. They are not optimal for profit. A quick view learned me you have some at 260 and some at 180. Best is most often 215-220.

For new corporations:
Go to top menu > Corporations > Settings for new corporations > Tab New Corporations > At the very bottom: Quality of Supplies > Set Quality > @ 220

For current corporations:
Go to top menu > Corporations > List corporations > Tab Supplies > At the very bottom: Quality of Supplies > Set Quality > @ 220

Also, set order quality for the country at 120 (except ammo if you wish), Go to Top Menu > Trade > Order strategy & quality. Use Preset - Default Requested Quality and copy all to selection. This way your materials defecit will be bought at 120, except pending orders, which you can cancel.

Please dont forget to join the Simcountry Discord, link is in my previous post.

As for secrecy, it seems my setting are set to not have secrecy

earnings were based on me having well over 100 corporations earning over a billion per month in profits. Yes I do realize there is tax taken out but, that money also gets transferred to the country.

I do need to work on my supply index. It was better in the past. I was in the process of setting up some natural resource companies.

In the past I had a salary index of 300-350 but cut back figuring it would save money. Was that a mistake?

I am currently working on building roads to increase my transportation index.


I have set quality for new and existing corps to 215.

I have set quality for country orders to 120.

Also, I have joined Discord.

Thanks

Is there any way of accessing the cash that is shown in the share portfolio?

I do not know what you mean. Can you make a screenshot and send it at Discord?

Concerning the profit transfer differences you experience. You have several corporations in debt, when a corporation is in debt, it stops paying profit payments. I do not know why they are in debt.

I also responded on Discord, sorry looked here first and at Discord second.

Oh you probably mean the investment fund. No, you can not cash out your investment fund for own benefit.

@jchristy2007
Corps keep some amount of cash to handle purchasing supplies and paying their workers.
Once the coffers are filled, usually (in my experience) between $80-100B, any further profits are deposited in the nation's general account.
