That are for my country's state of affairs.

Following is the main strategy.

Main strategy:

I plan to get income from CEO controlled corporations, and not state controlled ones. I Want a high level of education and welfare. I will not sustain an army.

To achieve that, I will spend a large amount on schools and hospitals. I will destroy all weapons and ammunition.

That is my main strategy.

For a start, I will order 10% more schools, hospitals, and road per day. That will get them up to an acceptable level by at the end of ten days.

Once I have a good welfare index, I will ask CEOs to build some corporations in my country to start generate income, and destroy bad sate corps.

I will report in a few days.

If you have any suggestions, please tell me.

its easier an safer to build yourself
1. you don't know when they will come
2. what company types will come
3. how well they will run
besides each level has good companies to build
I go for 1/3 ind
1/3 electric
1/3 high tech

Matt no be quiet. That's bad advice. Dont give that kinda advice and think new players will get off the ground.

Aug use these indexs
Education Index 150(start)/200(end)
Health Index 100(start)/130+(end)
Social Security 80% payment(start)/100%(end)
Transportation Index 120(start)/150(end)

Try to get the starting index's first those will get you off the ground around 15M pop or so go for those ending index's its a lot easier to start with high index's and keep them there then trying to go from 100education to 200 when you have 40M pop.
Message the CEO you have in your country. If you have non go to the number 1 player and go to there corps and click message all CEO from there you can broadcast to them to send you CEO's. Your making 34B but 42B is from a booster so when that wares off you'll be losing 8B or so a month. Ask a few CEO's to move in to correct this problem and you'll be ok. Also dont be scare to go into debt its part of the game and having a 1-2T in loans is ok and can endup being a good thing for new players.

@super...nothing wrong with Matts advice on building states, i can assure you it works and in a high number of instances, is BETTER than ceo corps

I'm aware blue. You showed me that remember :P

But when your new and you need the money unupgraded states dont do anything plus even in the high state corp countries you still need a few for those disabled/housewives

you may be suprised to learn how much some UN-UPGRADED corps actualy make along the way as they upgrade.

Boost your population as much as you can over 50 million for your main if possible and build factories then build schools and universities to raise your education index to 180+ and then concentrate on the other indexes i.e. health and transportation to 120+.

Once your state factories have matured, perform public offerings and buy up 100% of those shares with your enterprise thus making them private factories.

Set your tax to 0% and your country will receive money from your enterprise income.

I'm making just shy of $800 billion a game month in my main: AA1.

Ok... Thank you for all the advice. The main reason why I chose CEO is that the average income (through country resources used) seems to be greater (1.5-2.5 bil) than the income from state corps (1 bil is the most I could get. Some are losing (-0.3 bil)).

I wonder why I can't destroy 100% of those weapons directly!

@Blueserpent, yes in most Economic standpoints, CEO's (given the new adjustments to the game) are good, but being in control of your own finances... Priceless...

True that. Check mine out on The Demonic Kingdom for the performance in terms of finance.
