Hi, it seems that gross GDP would be a better indicator of an economy than 'total production value', which ignores the contribution by education, government and public healthcare to the economy, in addition to its ambiguity in several terms. For instance, I don't know whether 'high tech service' also contributes to 'service', and some high tech corps are in fact industrial. Clearer definitions are needed - this helps me plan for my country based on real economics theories.
Thanks! |

I can help a bit with this. Contributions to production from education, healthcare, and such are largely folded into corporation production. For example, in offering education, textbooks (books and newspapers) and high tech services are used by these institutions as a part of their cost. Healthcare consumes medical equipment, medical materials, and pharmaceutical products. If you run these types of corps, you contribute towards the "production" of these services.
For locating which corps are part of which groups, simply visit "my empire" and then "products overview". The product groups are defined there. The only oddly missing category in country production is "Space". A suggestion to add that is welcome.
For my annual GDP, I have often simply multiplied my Total Production by 12. The annual GDP of my LU main exceeds $20 Trillion and may be the game's largest. |

Wow that's an impressing LOT of GDP! I only have around 3 trillion annual GDP (simply multiplying total production by 12). How did you do that? |
