Suzerain A Guide to Government Budget management and the Economy -Incomplete

General Tips on Economic Planning

 
Investment Tips 
 
You will experience more economic gain if you concentrate your investments. For example if you invest in Bergia the Sarna agricultural zone will be more effective. Otherwise, you can spread out your projects so you recover every region. This way you will spend your budget more inefficiently but end up with a stronger economy in the end. In general, it is easier to concentrate your investments for higher economic gain compared to government budget spent. 
 
Indirect Factors which impact the Economy: 
 
There are some factors which have an impact on the economy but it might not be clear. For example, cutting the military’s personnel decreases economic development. Increasing its size decreases unemployment. Being friendly with the Oligarchs significantly boosts the economy. Picking Underhall for construction makes them happy and so does the railway. 
 
Economic combos for increased production: 
 
As earlier said, investing in regions where you’ve previously invested increases their production. The following combos are useful for increasing production: 
Sarna Agri zone + Expanded agricultural industry 
Corniat Industrial zone + Expanded electronics industry 
 
Other economic combos are just concentrating development such as trading with Agnolia and building the highway. 
 
Economy types and an example of a recovery 
 
Planned Economy 
With a planned economy you can trade with Wehlen, Valgsland and Agnolia. It relies on nationalization. A planed economy is better for war and can help increase living standards due to not privatizing education or health. 
 
An example of a recovered planned economy is: 
First infrastructure project – highway (-1) 
Invest in Lorren (-1) 
Raise taxes depending on budget 
Trade with Agnolia (-1) 
Trade with Wehlen (+2) 
Invest in Morna Port (-2) 
Nationalize companies (-2) 
Trade with Valgsland (+2) 
 
Market Economy 
With a market economy you can trade with Wehlen, Lespia and Agnolia. It relies on limited government intervention and privatization. A market economy can decrees living standards if health and education are privatized without extra budget. 
 
An example of a recovered market economy is: 
First infrastructure project – railway (-1) 
Lower taxes on small, medium and big businesses (-3) 
Privatize education (+1) 
Trade with Agnolia (0) 
Invest in Benfi airport (-2) 
Privatize companies (+3) 
Trade with Lespia (0) 
 
Time to make Symon proud.
