you cannot create a closed economy in sc, i have hundreds of corps now and i cannot. so see if that's possible when i get to thousands of corps.
read my "automation" post, and if this game is truly about creating great countries then the first step should be for a country to be self-sufficient. it's no where close to that, because your population have to consume low quality products while all the high quality products from your corps are sold to someone else...thus, therefore the rebellion/revolution equation should really be base on this unfair treatment of your own people/sims?
this game has mostly socialistic concepts, but it doesn't allow you/presidents to control every aspect of your countries either. for example, if it's socialism why can't you be allowed to tax or not tax your population at the tax rate of your own choice?
the game seems like it's in confusion, or more of a mix bag, not
It's not socialistic in the way it's set up. And when it comes to making money in the game there are a few things you can do.
-Build corps for products that don't have a surplus.
-Raise wages, people pay taxes, the more they make the more you make.
-Lower corporate tax and profit sharing, let your corps prosper.
Just a few of many steps, but you can get there.
I also tried for the self-sufficiency model years ago, and saw it wouldn't work. Fortunately, I was able to steer my empire in another direction without much loss, but I was kinda disappointed that this would never work.
Hi all im new on here. I have two countries (one acquired because it was an option for new players to teach how war works) and the other was my starting country. Well my starting country "The Empire of Mertado" on GR has some decent indexes (I think) and others needing work, and my corporations (12) are all producing and hiring at 100% or more. My problem is that my cash keeps dropping. However in my conquered country "Commonwealth of Pozana" on GR, my cash is much higher, my financial index is around 200 (even though not all corporations are at 100% prod. and hiring. Im not sure what I can do to correct the problems. Should I switch to one country? If yes, which should I stick with? My current "main country" is Ponzana because it has more cash. Please help!
