Negative cashflow

why is that when the country is a c3, it was doing okay. but soon as you take over then the cashflow starts going down to negative?

is gm just pumping air to c3 until it is taken over by a president?

logically, it was doing well as a c3 and when a president taken over but leaving everything as it is then the cashflow should stay the same way?

No, because C3s are given beneficial treatment. Checkout their corps supply quality and produced quality from those supplies for one.

thanks,
so if you become the president of the country, then you no long get that beneficial treatment? therefore those supply quality and produced quality do not get transfer to you?

thanks,
no wonder it doesn't seem to balance in the whole sc game. c3 seems just to fill the inadequate gaps, so c3 are required to stablize the economy in the sc worlds.

C3s are set initially with some quality levels for the corporations to make sure they have viable economies.

They have small population and GM support and have a monthly profit which is just OK.

They are processed monthly in exactly the same way other countries and corporations are processed.

thanks andy,
that's what i have speculated about c3. they are on supports by gm, once a president takes over then the supports are gone. the president has to take care of the country or the country will be in free fall.

then logically taking a c3 via a war makes the c3 weaker once you conquered it. building this conquered country up will take way more resources than when it not damaged at all.

it seems that the only two ways currently to own c3 is either through war or buy them from gm, is there any other way to own them?

weird,
the earth day before yesterday i was at about $300B cash in my sc country, then yesterday it was at about $800B cash, then today i'm at about negative $130B :)

the only major change i made yesterday was my order quality from "any" to "120"

gotta love this up and down things in this game. it's like rolling the dices :)

if i'm the master of my country, why can't i close and open any number of companies as i wanted so long as i have the resources?

today, i try to close some corporations because i don't have enough resources, but i cannot close them.

what exactly does this mean:
"Free members cannot close corporations with a market value > 250B.
It is designed to prevent cheating and misuse."

please elaborate :)
