If you're looking to join a big market, I'd recommend you look at the larger federations. They normally have their own markets.

However, if you're looking to grow your economy, joining a common market doesn't really help. It won't increase profits, as contracts are not more profitable than the open market.

What are you hoping to get out of joining a common market?

My two cents: If you are a new player with a goal of economic gain, I think you'd have more success by focusing on trying to improve the profitability of your corporations than spending time thinking about your market.

To get your economy going in the right direction Raise the prices of your products or sell at best price, AND raise your profit sharing to 100%. And always, always, auto-upgrade all corps.

That's just the start, but it will help.

Thanks to both leaders. Im humble you both responded. To EO what I was looking for I guess was getting more money to spend on my country each game month as Im probably just in a hurry to see my economy grow for no reason I guess lol I just figured being in a market with others would mean more money. I'm learning as I go. I will look into more markets. Untied republic leader been helpful and so have you too. I appreciate the feed back. DbL D thanks for that very helpful feedback. I will do the auto upgrades at once.

No problem.

Definitely use Dbl D's advice above as well as any other advice you see him provide on the forums. He's one of a very small group of players with extreme proficiency in simcountry in my opinion.

One other "word" of advice for you. Don't assume you understand how the game works. I do not mean this as a slight to you. What I am suggesting is you ask questions if you are not 100% sure. So often I see new players make incorrect (but fairly logical) assumptions about how the game works (like joining a market will boost their economy). This is natural. This is a complex game that takes a very long time to improve at. It's just better to confirm your ideas and understanding before launching any new strategies.

Keep doing what you just did. Ask questions!
