Alright, firstly you should not use an '-ing' ending on the the verb 'to need' as there is no continuous form of that verb. You should write "I need corporations" instead.
With that out of the way, I will now comment on your country:
As you are new, you will be getting lots of income support from the game. The first thing to do is build schools (elementary schools, high schools and universities). Get them up to 100% or required very soon. After that, start bringing them up further. Many players go for around 175% of needed, I go for closer to 220% of needed. More education allows you to crank out workers faster and also raises your score which helps you to get gold coin awards.
Also, get your health index up to a 100% and then beyond, but education is more important.
Avoid investing in the army to begin with. Your country cannot be attacked by anyone. Some players decide to sell off all their military assets to save money, but if you have any, possible intentions of taking a computer controlled county, then do not sell them off...just don't expand for a while.
Anyway, those are the main priorities...oh, and transportation. Get your transportation index up to 100% asap and then get it up over that level. Along with healthcare and education, this will greatly increase your score and welfare level.
High welfare allows your corporations (and the corporations of CEOs) to produce more. In fact, it is much more attractive to CEOs than low taxes, but taxes over 30% are considered unacceptable. You can easily go to 0% as the main income earner from CEO corps is the "country resources used" payment which is much, much higher than taxes.
In summation: use your money to build hospitals, schools and transportation (roads, rail and water), lower your taxes to somewhere between 10-20% and set education priorities to crank out the workers you need. |

Ah, just tried to open a corporation in your country but you are short on workers. Looks like you've got some good state corporations already. As long as they are producing products that are in short supply, you should be making some money off them. Of those that you have, high tech services, chemicals, factory maintenance and oil are particularly good. I wouldn't close those...especially as some of those corporations cannot be re-opened until you are at a higher game level. Check through your companies. If there are any that are consistently losing money, you might want to consider closing them (if the game will let you). |

okay I appreciate the advice on the game, frankly I didn't need an grammar class but you do what you do, for the sake of feeling good. I will just say I appreciate it and let it go. God bless! |
