Hey I'm new but I had possible a silly question

Is there any benefit to having Private Corporations in a country? Besides I guess being able to jump the game level requirements for certain products?

Thanks!

Private corporations pay you something called country resources used fees. This is 20% of gross income. They also pay you taxes on their profits at a percentage you set. 30% is the default. Also, private corporations allow you to return more disabled people and housewives to the workforce. Compared to state corporations, you do get less profit per month on average, but you also assume no risk during down markets and can still collect country resources used fee even if the corporation is not turning a profit.

Oh that makes sense. Thanks John!

No problem!

There is another advantage:

weapons can be stored in enterprises and escape the maintenance cost.
Weapons in countries are using ammunition in small quantities for training.
This does not apply to weapons stored in enterprises.

The advantage is not very large however as moving these weapons to one of your countries requires the country to purchase them from the enterprise.

transports are then limited in size but you can make sure the enterprise does have what you need even if the markets show a shortage.
