check your trade strategies. for beginers, the basics of low water, 1 gm, and buy 10 will be fine, with all but your military items at 120 quality. also, even if you have no military, you might be buying some anyway. you can look at that in the trade strategies.

even if everything is correct, it is normal that your population requires more supplies, than it pays for. this can be excessive if you gained allot of population, as your country will have to buy up to its new level. even still, it is normal for countries to make less money than the financial pages says, as they buy supplies for the population. their are ways of goofing with that. i'd suggest trying different salary levels.

but i'm not sure it is that, or the corp selection, ei the type of corps you set up. haven't gone that far playing with it yet. but it seems that depending on your salary levels, and worker types, that your country needs change slightly. but thats more of a theory

also, if you've set up purchasing contracts from your own corporations, that could do that to. you can check your country contracts under trade.

I have companies that I pay into because they don't make any money at all. They won't let me shut them down. This is terrible

setting your corp supply quality to 170ish would resolve allot of that, i think

170 will indeed help.
you should close corporations that produce products that are always in oversupply.

you can close up to 3 corporations each game month.
if you have a problem with that, please let us know.

you can only close corporations you own.

if done reasonably well, ALL corporations should be profitable to very profitable.

Your country does not purchase weapons automatically.
it purchases ammunition for the weapons and military units you already have.

if you want to stop this, sell all your weapons.
(or discard them).

Can you give me the name of a corporation you cannot close, also the country name and the world name.
I will have a look.

Thank you for all they help. I pretty much gotthe bleeding under control. Except for trying to change my supply quality. I put in 120 hit the change button then the next time I log in its back at 180?
