Economy is still stuck

It's been at imploded for over a year now. I had a post on this topic on the old boards I made after my economy had been stuck for many months. It was dismissed as not an issue.

Seems to be an issue to me, it's been imploded for going on 15 months with no change.

The Atheist Republic of Khadgar is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.696 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The large, pro-business government is mainly concerned with Education, although the Environment and Defence are on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Drunk drivers are sentenced to death, only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, the government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups, and fur coats have become the latest fashion trend. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Khadgar's national animal is the kaadu, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the dollar.

Khadgar is ranked 1st in the region and 5,357th in the world for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides.

It will take a large amount of time for large nations such as yourself to change the economy (same goes for civil rights and polictical freedoms)

Though its taken a year or so to get here, all I can suggest is keep at it.

Or try moving out and back into your region, you have been there a huge amount of time.

I'd look for the issue about taking to the streets (four wheels bad, two wheels good?), and choose to give the automotive industry more funding. That usually bumps me up a rating or two, but it does increase taxes a lot.

well if your economy isnt moving it might be that there is only 1% taxation, my counrty pays 58% taxes, which will likely rise due to the space program i just passed :)

A lower tax rate generally stimulates an economy. Though subsidizing industry with tax money would too. Dunno, any rate still stuck at imploded.

The Atheist Republic of Khadgar is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.92 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The small, pro-business government concentrates mainly on Education, although Defence and the Environment are secondary priorities. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour, the nation refuses to provide international aid, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and euthanasia is legal. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Khadgar's national animal is the kaadu, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the dollar.

Khadgar is ranked 1st in the region and 43,649th in the world for Nudest.
