I'm getting weary waiting to receive offers from Corp CEOs to estabish corporations in my nation. I have lots of unemployed skilled, well-educated workers, a corp tax rate of only 10%, great infrastructre, lots of universities, high schools and elementary schools, and so on.
So, I read for 30 gold coins a month, in additon to being President of The Empire of Mentalo on Kebir Blue, I can start my own Enterprise as a Corp CEO.
Are there other players who do this? If so, what the pros and cons (aside from the obvious one of spending real money for the luxury)?
Looking forward to hearing from some of your far more experienced players. Thanks, |

about the only advantge that I can see, is that it is a requirement in order to advance in game level and get more GC. If GC are going to be back in supply (as they are starting to) I wouldn't bother with the enterprise. No profit to speak of, even when micromanaged, takes a LOT of time and GC to do such micromanaging, plus there is the added 30 GC/month tax. Besides, you can only put a limited number of CEO corps in your own coutries, unless you do an IPO and control them that way. Enterprises don't seem to be profitable until you get around 400+ corps.
If you want CEOs to put corps in your countries, lower the tax to 0% and have plenty of workers of every class available, and advertise. I'll throw a bunch of corps your way if you do, and I am pretty sure others will, too. |

I got a pretty solid strategy, that requires it, but I'm not ready to share that to everyone. But I'd be happy to share it to a few new players, to get them competitive. |

Drew: I am a new player, the same name as maclean. Please share your strategy with me so I can start an enterprise and make some sim$. thank you.

I'm not sure if you are a new player, you don't act like one, but since I'm not going to check ancient threads... Hope you enjoy it. |

ezekiel I run 5 enterprises on 3 worlds with something like 25 countries. Lots of people do it, done right though the benefit of them is mainly for your country, placing/buying your corps from your country. Dont expect fortunes of profit from them in themselves.
And I disagree a bit with Maclean that you dont NEED to have 0% tax, the lower the better from a CEO point of view, but its not a lot more for you, I would be quite happy paying 10% in a good country.
If your welfare is getting good, then advertise and you will get the CEOs in very quickly. |

I agree, Crafty, now that I have re-thought it, i would far rather pay 10% tax in a country that is well-cared for, with plenty of workers, than 0% in a hellhole of a slum that leaves my employment at 7%, etc. (By the way, this is the original maclean, not that wannabe who posted above.) |

Methinks Mac has caught Anthony's split personality disease... |

I am not the wannabe, thank you very much. |

I wouldnt set it for 20% tax though as it can hurt your corporations in the long run. Tried it, but the p/e ratio goes up with it. Im setting mine at 15% tax just to try it out. It shouldnt hurt that much any way. If it stays stable enough with 15% tax and 85% transfer, then its good to go. |

Lol Ant. Chill out dude, you do have a split personality on here. One post you're all nice and apologetic, the next you want to break someones neck.
Also, read more carefully, Maclean was referring to himself when he said wannabe, not you, it refers to the post by Maclean a few posts up where he pretends to be a newb to get Drews secret. |

Oh never mind about the break neck bit. That has been sorted out. I only said that in anger. No i dont have split personality. Its more like mild intellectual disability and yes sometimes i do take it the wrong way, please forgive me for that. Ill chill. Alot of times i blame it on my mind due to lack of so called high intelligence or shit like that. Thats why it aint the best (which the word i dont like), but i can get hard hearted most times, if i see fit to it that something is wrong. |

Yeah, I'm a dope, got no feedback or anything from it. |
