are loans a good thing to offer? i mean is it smart to have a decent chunk of money loaned out to collect the interest? and do they countries absolutely have to pay you back? like i have about 300 billion loaned out, because i was pretty sure it automatically pays the loan off after the time its due, but if a country doesnt have a lot of money, will i get screwed out of the deal? by the way the 300 billion isnt loaned to just one country, its loaned to a couple different countries. thank you

Loans are guaranteed by the World Bank so your money is safe. The interest you receive is pathetic so the money would be better off invested in shares. Trouble is, you can only purchase shares in companies located on your soil which limits the amount of investment.
I use the loan system to help ensure I maintain $1T in net cash so that I can advance up the game levels. I currently have $1T loaned out from my two main countries for this purpose. I stops me from overspending as my balance is a lot lower than it would be otherwise. Plus it gives me some reserves that I can call on if need be, albeit not immediately.
