Really,if you want full quality supplies such as 296,I suggest the quality supplies should be at 196.Think of it,100 is standard quality right then you add 196 and that makes 296 in the end for the quality.So set the quality supplies at 196 and as well as the country supply at 100.But the quality at 196 may sometimes have to pay a little more but will go down a bit eventually in the long run.Keep you're profit share to 0 if you plan do to upgrades,because it takes time and money so you will need all of the cash available for the upgrades.Set you're taxes to 0 as well if you plan to have ceo in you're country,this way,they will make money for ya.If you need money quickly,I suggest you spend 20 gold coins in the cash market if you have any and you will get back at 9.8 Trillion dollars if I remember,that way,you can concentrate on the economy.Set you're salaries to 600 then you need to set you're government salaries to 300.Trust me,you won't go wrong with this little strategy.If you don't want war at the moment,dismantle whole lot and that will save you lots of money and sell all you're army stuff.And set you're budget to 0 too.You must watch you're sales too.Start with raise 20% and lower 20% on sales if you want too.Make sure you got 100% hireing for full production.And do the things on the important things to do page and watch you're education too.This has a profound on the economy to success.I don't know much about bidding on the state corps,but I do know after 5 game years,you can bid on the ceo's if you're not happy with ceo corps and get rid of them too.Other wise keep it or send a message to that player to remove it.I hope this helps.
