Hi! I'm new to this game, and have been just looking over the stickies. I stumbled upon this thread: http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29122

Based on the information given in this thread, I'm going to try to calculate the money available to me each real life day.

1) I have a "very strong" economy, therefore my monthly citizen income= 22,000 Necronian Credits.

2) Income tax is unheard of in my nation (woops), but for sake of practice, lets say that I have a flat income tax rate of 10%.
22,000 NC * 0.1= 2200 NC\person\month.

3) Assuming that 1 real life day= 1 roleplayed year;
2200 NC * 12 months= 26,400 NC/person/year

4) Now I should multiply this by my population, but obviously not everyone in my country works. If we exclude children, the elderly, and the disabled, I suppose it would be safe to assume that 50% of my population works. My population is 5 million, therefore 2.5 million are actually paying taxes.
2,500,000 NC * 26,400 NC/person/year= 66,000,000,000 NC/year

5) Lastly, perhaps I can assume that only about 50% of that would be available for actual external spending. This would give me 33 billion NC to spend this year.

Is this realistic? I ask for your comments and amendments to this system.

((Ack! :shock: ))

Holy crap! We bow low before the mighty C'tan....real low.

All Out of Character, of course:

Well, I tend to calculate as having 10% tax via Stealth Taxes: VAT and the like.

Here is, for comparison, my last budget calculation from that thread.

Economy as of 24-03-04

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29122

Population: 2.538 B
Economy: Frightening

40,000 MCI
40,000/100*10 = 4,000

4,000* 2,538,000,000 = 10,152,000,000,000 per month

121,824,000,000,000 Annual

That figure doesn't take into account those not working though.

I'd be careful using that 1RL day = 1 NS year thing. On the whole, time in NS tends to be rather... fluid.

A link on the matter. (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=69265)

Anyway, a question:
Is it composed of:
Humans/whatever just using the name?
Organic Necrontyr? (Which would be my favorite :) . I'd been thinking about genegeneering some back into existance out of character anyway)
Or Necrons? (A bit extreme. I only have necrons in the millitary. ~10 mil of them. Besides, I can't imagine them paying taxes or having elderly people :wink: )

An easier way:
http://www.pipian.com/stuffforchat/gdpcalc.php?nation=The%20Necrontyr

this is the commonly used and well respected budget calc

The Necrontyr Gross Domestic Product
Population: 6,000,000
Civil Rights: Excessive
Economy: Very Strong
GDP per Capita: $15,000
GDP: $90,000,000,000
National Budget: $32,866,560,000


$32,866,560,000*50%= $16,433,280,000

OOC:

I'm not sure about the respect people have for it. It's commonly used because its quick. However, it gives the USA status as "Frightening," ATM, something it doesn't really deserve, (Frightening on that = 35,000 GDP per capita. US GDP per capita is similar ATM) not compared to many NS nations.

I much prefer this method to calculating your GDP:
http://www.pipian.com/stuffforchat/gdpcalc.php?nation=

The whole "monthly citizen income" thing doesn't make much sense. First of all, it should be "yearly" since if they're making that much each month, we're talking about an incredibly, insanely rich society. Also, GDP per capita is a much better indicator since you can just multiply that by your population.

Seeing as Edolia is large, powerful and well-roleplayed (and has had a Frightening economy for about eight months now), I call Edolia's GDP per capita $40,100. I just multiply that by my population and... I've got my GDP. Then of course you have to calculate in your tax rate (we've got 100 which is impossible so I generally say 90%) and you have your budget.

does this give us how much money we can spend each real life day?
so each day do i add on my gdp? - this doesnt seem to make sense, as everyone would soon have huge amounts of cash
