W3C - The Country Welfare Index

The welfare index in all countries is a crucial component in the production level of all corporations in the country.

The index can go down to 90 or up to 135. The influence on the welfare index in the corporation is (135-90)/2.4 = 18.75 points.

this is 18.75% difference in the production level of all the corporations.

to optimize the welfare index:

Increase the health, transportation and education indexes to 135.

make sure the country does not have shortages of products. check the product trading page for shortages and place immediate orders.

keep social security at 90 to 100.

These are the main components. Employment is important too but this is probably obvious.

Very Important:

never sell population. selling several millions of your population will decrease the welfare index in all the countries in the empire even lower than the 90 points minimum.

the welfare index should move up slowly to 130+

Thank you Tom. That's a very clear explanation of the welfare index. Up to this point, I don't think any of us were sure exactly where the parameters were.

Agree. Also explains why it's hard for new CEOs to find decent c3s to build in. They, in general, do not improve their infrastructure, especially to the levels needed.

Good info to have, thanks.

Questio

Whats the max production a corp can sustain and what would be the max salary?

We did not set a maximum.
what I see in some countries is production going up to 145 - 146%

however, sometimes they have to increase salaries to a factor of 1000-1200.

the corporations are very productive, pay huge salaries and make losses. The salaries are far too high.

if the corporation is in your own country, the salaries go to your country with high taxes and the revenue contribution to the country is also very high.

these corporations are a gold mine to the country where they reside and they make some losses..

to remain profitable, we think that salaries at 250 - 400 are high enough.

between 400 and 900 it will make about 16% difference in production. 16 x root(4) = 32.
16 x root(9) = 48.
This is the salary contribution to the welfare index in the country and 16/2.3 is the contribution to the corporation welfare. (and production).

in the mean time, you pay 900/400=2.25 more in salaries and about 35% of the 16% increase in revenue goes to the country as contribution.

so you need to do the math.
if the country is yours that's fine. if all this is paid to someone else and you end up with losses, that is of course different.
