I see that some countrys give loans, while most do not. My rationale is to give them,because, supposedly, i receive 1% interest every month, which is better than nothing? Am i missing something?

If you have the money, give loans.
you do get the interest and you always get your money back.

You do not have a guarantee that there are takers for the loans but if there are, it makes sense.

Understand that the interest earned is quoted per REAL year, not game year.

But hey, yeah, go for it. They're guaranteed.

Why per real year? thats retarded, got trillions i could do that with, but the return is so ridiculously small it aint worth tieing it up. lol

that means for every trillion i loan, i got a shot at possibly getting 10.2billion every real year! ROFL in terms of this game thats not even worth the time it takes to fill out the info and keep track of it! lol :)

in fact, that would be like me dropping a penny on the ground and then traveling 50 miles out of my way to go back to the place i originally dropped it in order to pick it up. lol! :)

I would check your math Shave if I were you.

NB. 1T = 1000B

i mean, we are playing a game here with every other calculation based on "game time". what could be the possible motivation?

I totally agree with Shave. Maybe we should put it to a vote; if it hasn't already.
