I am trying to make my empire independent of the world market so that I can thrive, regardless of the state of the global economy. Whenever I build new corporations, I choose the type of corporation based on the supplies my other corporations (and my country/empire) needs. You will find very few CEO corps in my empire, but many state corps (especially in my leader country because my slave country is still damaged from my war with it). I am doing this for a few reasons:
1. As stated above, even if the whole world economy went to hell in a handbasket, I would have my own little oasis of prosperity.
2. My whole empire is an economic experiment. I am testing out a theoretical economic system that I invented, called "National Proletarianism". My empire is the result of sort of a "test run" for National Proletarianism. (National Proletarianism looks really good on paper, but it has yet to prove itself in practice or simulation).
Actually, if you want to learn more about my theories, you can message either my account or my country, "Land of the Worker".
Anywho...if my system's design remains stable and I accomplish my goal, I would be happy to help others copy me and set up their own National Proletarian country or empire. If my system turns into a total disaster, then everybody else will learn the easy way not to do what I did.
So that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
