Looking for a mentor....before I go nutts (White Giant)

I dont claim to be the sharpest tool in the shed; however, I do usually have good results in whatever I take on.

I am totally frustrated with my nation.
I have raised/cut taxes-1-20%
I have lowered my gov salaries to 200
My unemployment stays around 90%
SS around 70-90%
I have tried to cut/raise my education/health indexes
Corporation profit transfers are at 50%
Public controlled state corps are at 15%
I have messed with my sales strategies
I have little or no military assets in all but 3 countries

.....and I do not really understand WTF I am doing wrong.

I have most of my slaves with only CEO owned corps with no military assets and they should be profitable, but they are not.

I want to ask if someone can take a look at my acct and tell me what I am doing wrong and help explain the situation.

...........and with the chat down I am having a hard time communicating and cant see

"My unemployment stays around 90%"

I'm quite new but that can't be good. Try increasing salaries.

90% isn't bad at all.

90% unemployment= bad

90% employment= good

How the hell do you have 90% unemployment? Even in the worst economies that is pretty damn bad....Either buy more military weapons, or open new corps. There is no way you could be stuck at 90% unemployed....

Oh, I misread that.....yeah, 90% UN-employment is very bad indeed.

I don't believe I have ever seen a country with only 10% hiring.

I have been transferring what population I can to the countries I know I am going to keep.

Country 1/13 Closed- Pr 12

Luckily I have had recent tremors and major earthquakes that has enabled my population movement to run more smoothly!

Ky and Ky 4 has been the beneficiary of the surplus of population and they are ready to accept relocations from Pr9 - Pr12.

So if any Ceos from my Kentucky Empire read this please relocate any corps you have in Pr 9- Pr 12 to KY or KY 4 :o

UUMMM major transfers of population can have a severe effect on your economies. I would be more careful about that if I were you.

I don't know what all the effects are in tranfering that much in pop in this game, but IRL it usually either ends in disaster, or is a huge success. Either way, it can be a great risk.

Cant get much worse...lol


but anyway I transfered 3m population tonight to KY.......So and CEO who have corps in my PR9-Pr11 Countries can move them strait into KY without any shortages.

ohh and....


Country Dropped- The Republic of Exstron 2/15

Net Cash of the Empire is -10,120.67B SC$



beats -30t lol

but i have dropped a couple more countries and down to 20.

I have noticed a major increase in my financial indexes by just dropping 5 countries.

The mass population relocation has came to a halt because I am no longer recovering from any earthquakes but I will continue prepping more countries that will be dropped.


PR 10 of Kentucky
PR 9 of Kentucky
....are next to be deregged so if you have any corps here then please relocate to either KY KY4 or Ky1

Keep working to get down to 10 countries and your problems will cease as you know it. Transfer the wealth out or outright sell them. Once you get to 10 countries on any world you will see a marked improvement. The game punishes you when you have 11 or more countries.

sfo treasurer is right.
Drop the number of countries to at least 10, maybe lower if your numbers dont even out.
Start small, then work your way up.
Expanding too early can kill an empire easier than a foe can, in some cases.

As far as the Pop transfers are concerned, Do them carefully. I've done 10 at a time before and didnt have too many problems. But with each mil you add, you need more corps, schools, and hospitals to keep up with the increase in people. Not to mention your costs of government increase.

Yes TY Joker and council man Treasurer.

.....but I want to ask if their are any Chinese members of sim country who could possible cause an earthquake in my main :o .......after all they can stop the rain....lol
