Finances

Can someone please take a look at my country and tell me what I am doing wrong. I am in constant debt and can't figure out how to make it positive. United Nations of Carolina on FB

Thanks for any help

Too high military costs. Figure out which weapons and ammo you actually need and sell the rest. You have enough to bring you out of debt, and that will lower the monthly cost which will balance your budget.

Low employment level. Train more high tech and fewer low and mid level managers. **Build more mining companies before any other businesses.**

Trade some workers to your other country to get those corps to 100% employment. There again mining is the answer.

After you make these changes and show you can turn a profit, ask someone on the Security Council to start a vote for a grant to get your second country out of debt. You must then concentrate on improving education, transportation, and healthcare.

Also set purchase quality for products your country needs at 120 for now, except military, set at 330. Set purchase quality for corps at 220 and **make sure they are all auto upgrading.**

Thank you for looking at it for me. I will look into all this. Your first one talks about selling military units I don't need. I deactivated all military units about a week ago thinking this would solve the high costs problem. I don't see an option to sell. Can anyone please explain how to sell military units?

I think I figured it out. Product in stock buy/sell.

Yep.

Deactivation helps reduce costs, but there are still costs.

Militaries often are the factor that can lead to bankruptcy.

Ok. On to another question. How do I send workers from my main country to my second? Or how can I give up my second country? That may be the best option.

Personally, I'd keep both. You can do ongoing worker transfers from one to the other. YOu can also just keep the 2nd one empty of military gear for now and have it make a little profit.

To move workers, click the labor tab at the top, then select "exchange professionals." You can move up to 400,000 workers between your countries each game month.

Next question. How do I transfer population from my main country to my 2nd? Or, how do I give up my 2nd? That may be the best option.

Sorry about that duplicate question...didnt think the first one posted. Got another one though. I have changed my auto decisions to don't order ammo for military. However, almost every month I check my trades and the system is ordering billions of dollars of missiles. Is there a better way to stop this from happening?

Your military requires ammunition on an ongoing basis. I'd leave the auto-ordering on.

You'll order less gear (or none at all) if you sell off your military weaponry.

If you see you're auto-ordering anti-aircraft missiles, that means you have anti-aircraft missile batteries you could sell.

For a newer player with 2 countries and a desire to improve your economy, I'd just sell all your weapons for now.

If you're concerned about your own security, message me in game. Send a message to country "Commorragh." I can try to help if you run into problems with other players.

Fearless Blue used to be pretty brutal for new players, and at times, it probably still is. However, most of the established players are more understanding and tolerant of newer players. We'd prefer more players get off the ground and get building empires before testing their diplomacy or military capabilities.
