Think I can go to war

HEY so im The Republic of Tiaga on WG, and I have a prety decent economy with cash to spare, and NO military at all, but i wanna run two countries this well. Do you think im in a safe enough shape to build an army and attack? If so, what steps would you suggest?

your economy does look decent however look at your education index it is 120 which is where you want it more or less however look at your sub indexes..... schools and high schools are 120 however the university index is a whopping 232.... you don't need that many universities they are just a waste of money..... gotta keep the sub indexes of the transportation and education indexes balanced or you're wasting money....... rough estimate i would say you need to close 38 universities that save you half a billion dollars monthly with no damage to the functioning of your country..... (you will probably have some university professors that are unemployed that you will have to find jobs as low level workers


WL0 is phenomenally easy to win you can do it with your starting army however it looks like you got rid of it

a basic offensive force that you could

you have 22T cash reserves so you have more then enough money.... i imagine a force of 750 offensive anti air batts 1150 mid range missile batts and 1500 heavy tanks with accompanying ammo will cost you more then 2-3 trillion.... you can do the math if you want.... the cost will quickly be paid for if you continue raiding rather then taking a second country... though that will help pay for it aswell

You could always go for high tech corporations (either yours or enterprise run) they tend to pay better in the long run. So, two approaches here, Jack's third world style of low education, or a higher education level. His point is essentially correct though. The education index is never higher than the lowest index of elementary schools, high schools or universities. So, if you want an index of an optimal 220 or so, you need to raise all of them up. Or, lower them all. No point in having one really far from the other.

120 is not third world style... 220 is not optimal in any way..... production levels flatten out at 120-130 so welfare should be around 120-130 for the best government cost to production ratio.... you can get 120 welfare with 120 indexes including edu transport and health.... its really very simple..... don't know where you heard that 220 was optimal.... 2/3s of my countries production used to be high tech and i sustained it with a 130 edu index
