I need some assitince getting the GM to let all presidents of White Giant to sign a Global Economic Stimulas Package. GESP will help countries pay off their debt in little steps. For example, you owe $600B. GESP will let u pay $100B within the time the loan is due. Please we need to take a stand before we all go bankrupt.

I am trying to make my empire independent of the world market so that I can thrive, regardless of the state of the global economy. Whenever I build new corporations, I choose the type of corporation based on the supplies my other corporations (and my country/empire) needs. You will find very few CEO corps in my empire, but many state corps (especially in my leader country because my slave country is still damaged from my war with it). I am doing this for a few reasons:

1. As stated above, even if the whole world economy went to hell in a handbasket, I would have my own little oasis of prosperity.
2. My whole empire is an economic experiment. I am testing out a theoretical economic system that I invented, called "National Proletarianism". My empire is the result of sort of a "test run" for National Proletarianism. (National Proletarianism looks really good on paper, but it has yet to prove itself in practice or simulation).

Actually, if you want to learn more about my theories, you can message either my account or my country, "Land of the Worker".

Anywho...if my system's design remains stable and I accomplish my goal, I would be happy to help others copy me and set up their own National Proletarian country or empire. If my system turns into a total disaster, then everybody else will learn the easy way not to do what I did.

So that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

It works very well in my leader country. My leader country is 100% independent of the market for mining products. Currently, I am working on being self-sufficient for industrial products and utilities. My slave country is still recovering from the war, so only time will tell whether my slave country succeeds or fails.

That is a fascinating idea our common market is trying to become an economic powerhouse totally devoted to self sustainability but maybe ill try it with a slave sometime....it wouldn't work in real life because some places are better suited to produce certain things then others so a global economy is more lucrative but maybe if things get really bad into the future people will have to have more localized economies though they will most likely still just be independent food wise and still trade with neighboring soveriegnties for other industrial goods its more effiecient if people specialize at something and trade then producing everything they need but perhaps the latter is a wiser choice the future will tell

Also you have to make sure to supply all your population not just your corps its a very difficult task you are doing it would be easier if you joined a common market with an enterprise who could build anywhere ans supply you with goods from other countries indirectly through a common market or atleqst make one with your two countries so they can work togethor you need lots of workers to achieve self sustainability

Those who want to follow suit can do so. It is totally voluntary; I am only setting up my country like this so that I can test out my theory of economics. Lol I had no intention of starting this whole worldwide movement...for example, you learned about the concept behind it, and you decided (on your own) that it was a good idea, so you are beginning to adopt my system. Honestly I have no idea whether my theoretical economic system will succeed or fail, so you understand that we are both taking a risk. I don't believe that many players are interested in trusting their entire economy to a theoretical system that still has yet to prove itself.

What I should have done was waited until I had finished setting everything up before going to war. Because there is no demand for weapons on the market, I ended up having to destroy 4T SC$ worth of weapons and ammunition that was left over from the war.

your country trades about 30 to 40 percent on the local market which means your still importing about 60 percent of your goods and your employment index is at 90 percent which means with the 10% you have left you have to double the ammount traded on your local market and then some....im trading 50 percent on my country by just building good corps and updating contracts once in a while automatically

Sounds similar to the Continental System used by Napoleon to break economic ties with the British Empire. While entering contracts manually, do you give common market members first opportunity to accept those contracts? With a little work, all your product requirements could be met, with members building the necessary companies (for road maintenance, for example) to supply all other members. While not hitting the profits the free market allows, not suffering the vagaries is intriguing. As long as relative hardships are shared - hmmmm....

Marshal Trumm

Wednesday, May 9, 2012 - 10:54 pm Click here to edit this post
Actually, we did run into an emergency once. Common markets are not as profitable because the prices of products on common markets are not affected by the quality of the products. As a result, the corps get the same amount of money, for a higher quality product (thus, a product that is more expensive to produce). What happens over time is that the cost of production will increase until it is greater than the money you make by selling it, and the corporations start losing money across the board.

We implemented a very simple solution; we just stopped upgrading, and we are letting the upgrades wear off. The quality (and therefore, the cost of production) is decreasing, allowing our corps to begin profiting again from the common market.

Well I always wanted my country to be self sufficient and I feel i'm getting there step by step, producing almost all the products what my country consumes but the other problem is, is that my corps are buying products from the world market which I still need to work on, but not as much as you think though as i've set most of my corps at between 10 and 50% capacity as those corps don't need to produce that many goods for my country which in turn means my corps won't need to buy as much raw materials and products from the world market. Have a look at my country on LU 'The Kingdom of Pirates' Marshal and see what you think of it.

Regarding the Common Market, its not that corps don't sell at a higher price for higher quality products, but that because products are supplied at a higher quality and therefore a higher price, and therefore the profit-margins are dragged down. If you want a sustainable common market, you need to create products of a lower quality.

Marshall, back to what you were saying about self-sufficiency. Your idea can and will work, however like others have mentioned, you need a lot of people. The countries I have seen that have had success with what you are saying generally have 45-50 million people. I, personally, have done this before, If I remember correctly, I had roughly 45 million people with about 60 corps providing my country with what it needed. However, once you setup your country, for example one of my previous countries that I mentioned above, you don't usually make above 10B in profit each month leaving you with little room for expansion of infrastructure or funding for a war.
