Getting a positive cash flow?

Currently living well because of the new players cash infusion. But would be seriously in deficit once it ends. I am in peace mode and have put both the offensive and defensive forces in reserve status. Have tried to "fix" some of my big looser corporations, but that does not seem to have helped. Yet. I am The Democratic Union of Maurita on GR. Any rookie mistakes that I am probably making and should avoid/fix? I would greatly appreciate the feedback!

Thanks!

Welcome

I checked your country and here's a couple suggestions. These are some things as a new player can do to build a strong econ early on.

First, build your Education, Healthcare, Social Security, and Transportation index's to 130 as quickly as possible. High welfare means high production in corporations.

Second, Don't overbuild states corperations. Always try to recruit CEO's early on they will provide more income and will help you to build a strong economy early on.

Third, sell all your weapons. When in secure mode you dont need a military. It will provide you a few 100 billion in cash plus it will reduce your monthly costs by a few billion.

Hope this helps!!!

Thanks! That give me some things to tinker with, and might get me closer to a balanced budget. If I keep overspending I might end up voting liberal in the next election. Eeek!

Hello Mike,

I am new too and I am facing the same problems.

I did the following:
- turn off automation for Roads, Education, Army and Health;
- sold all army units (trying at least);
- inside each department (Roads, Education, Army and Health) close some if above needed.

Good luck!
