Hello, I've been noticing something very odd. Over the past few game months I've found that both the graph showing my cash level is rising every month. And the "ticker" on top of my screen is continuosly saying that my cash levels are rising. Which isn't a suprise since I've been selling a great deal of shares from my countries portfolio.
So that's all good, but then why is my financial statement showing a month on month drop in cash levels. They don't match up?

Either I'm gaining tens of billions per month over the past 9-12 months or I'm losing it, but I've got three different sources that are telling me something different every time. So which is it? Which is right? Or is there a flaw in the game that is causing this?

Welcome to the forum. How about posting your country and world and making sure your financials are unhidden and someone can take a look?

To further elaborate: In the past 2 game months I've counted a total increase of 24.56B SC$ however at the same time my cash level DROPPED from 1.19T SC$ to 1.18T SC$. My cash level does not seem to want to go beyond 1.19T SC$ while In reality it should be at the very least 1.4T SC$. Since Nobody seems to have an Idea, where do I go to ask for an answer from the game masters?

Keep an eye on the "Cash" tab of your finance page. Your country makes a modest profit but this is offset by weapon/ammo purchases, of $11.5B, and a recent transfer of $15B to one of your corps just in the last three game months (in that time your country only generated $16B in funds). Remember that any weapons in your country use monthly "training ammo" which the country will replace with new ammo purchases.

To increase from $1.19T to $1.4T requires $210B in funds. This would require around 30 game months of your $6-$8B monthly profit free from any purchases.
