2) Low and High debt range (defaults to 0 and max)

should be:

2) Low and High debt range (defaults to -max and 0)

2.5) Low and High net cash range (defaults to -max and max)

Debt can become confusing when you talk about it in positive numbers. The total of cash available plus the debt would be more useful IMO.

Nice suggestions, but are of little importance if you look at the 0% tax countries list and communicate with players.

When you are in the 42 day window where you can't build in another player's country, I would beg to disagree. :)

The 0% countries list is nice, but it's not built into the game, it's a manually maintained list that may or may not be accurate or up-to-date.

Talking with players takes time, and if I'm trying to build my corporation quickly, the tools I suggest would enable me to do so with a minimal amount of my time.

42 days?

I started as a president so I never experienced that wait. You are still allowed to purchase state corporations, or transfer them to player countries right?

Also I don't see how these search functions would help you, if your looking for a 0% tax C3. Then your out of luck because they don't exist (you may find one, but it will reset and the tax rate will be 30%).
