I though you might want some suggestions on how to become profitable.
SimC appears to give enterprises an advantage in operating corps. You'll surely see revenue increase if you cut taxes down to 5%, and offer your corps for sale to CEO's. There's a place to list your country in GR/5% tax countries/. I'd next suggest you use 30 Gold coins to become a CEO yourself. Once you become a CEO you can buy your state owned corps yourself. My experience was my revenue increased dramatically.
Apply for the new player grant from the security council to allow you some working capital.
Get rid of your weapons corps unless they're making money. It appears there's some random factor that SimC incorporates in the computations so that some weapons corps are profitable, but my experience (and Simcountry Wiki's) is that weapons corps are money pits.
Get rid of your commodites corps, such as fruit, vegetables, wood, wool. Sometimes these corps make $ but they usually lose. Use Factory Utilization figures to help decide what type of Corps to keep or build. You'll see that most commodity and weapons corps are operating well below 100%. It's pretty certain your corp will lose $ if a bunch of C3's are pumping out goods. My understanding is that C3's are exempt from a lot of constraints placed on game players--Note they need it- The AI making decisions for them is very weak. I hope I haven't bored you too much with this--You may have known all this.
