Inspired by the what's your nation's currency? thread...

So, how's your nation doing economically? Is your currency strong? What's your unemployment rate? Per capita GDP? Do you have a budget surplus or a deficit? Trade surplus or deficit? Tax rate? What's your main trade commodity? (if you don't like what the game says your trade commodity is, or if it doesn't really fit your vision of your nation, feel free to make something up)

You can find most of that stuff here: http://nseconomy.thirdgeek.com/


Maineiacs currency, the Energy Credit is worth $1.51US, the unemployment rate is 2.56%, the per capita GDP is $30,609.31, We have a budget surplus of about $1.7 trillion US, and unfortuately a trade deficit of $158.3 billion US. The main trade commodities are heavy machinery, and electronics.

Trade Surplus:

The economy appears to be firing on all cylinders; unemployment is at 2.66%, the government is running a small $503 billion surplus, taxes are low and the economy is balanced (my nation is alone in its region, so its trade balances out by default because all trade is interregional within one country rather than international).

Our primary industry is information technology with other industries like biotech, high-technology manufacturing and financial services as major industries. GDP is growing at a trend rate of 3.2% per year with occasional upward swings to 4-5% or slowdowns to 1-2%. No recessions in the past decade, and capable management of monetary policy has kept inflation contained and growth high.

Mikesburg has a healthy and dynamic economy. The average tax rate is 31%, and the unemployment rate stands at 2.64%. Mikesburg's primary industry is cheese exports. Mikish cheese is famous for it's tastiness, and cheesy smell. Book publishing and Information Technology are the current hot markets, without the robust history and strength of the Mikish Cheese Market.

Mikesburg has a mixed economy, with much government expenditure going towards public transportation, and a large resource-based economy which is partially nationalized (All resource acquisition is run by state companies, while resource distribution is handled by private enterprise). Mikesburg currently spends about 12% of its budget on protecting its partially state-run economy. Many are also employed in its very large police and justice system.

The general affluence of the citizens of Mikesburg has created a very strong import economy, resulting in a rather large trade deficit. However, Mikesburg's long tradition of open markets and strong naval presence in the region of the Dearborn Islands has generated a vibrant economy throughout the region.

I think it actually means the share of GDP consumed by the private sector after taxes; if your consumption is $0 it means that the government controls all resources and you have a centrally planned economy with all resources going to the state.

If I understand correctly (someone please correct me if I'm wrong), it's the amount of capital and/or other goods used up to produce a product.

I was under the impression that it referred to the amount of money that consumers spend on products, but I could be wrong.

I know sod all about economics, but im guessing that trade deficit is not particularly good:rolleyes:

Not necessarily. A trade deficit occurs where there is more currency flowing out of your country than in; that is, one's imports are higher than exports. This could be an indicator of certain governmental policies like trade restrictions, tarrifs, taxes, etc, that favor imports over exports, either in one's own country or in the other countries in one's region. This is likely to be the case in your nation, considering the high levels of government spending on commerce there (at 28%, it's the highest category, in fact)

Or it could simply be a matter of normal business cycles and/or development; Looking at your nation's relatively high GDP per capita, low unemployment rates, as well as the absense of an income tax, I'd be inclined to say that your citizens simply have a lot of money to spend, thus producing the outward flow of currency. One could very well conclude that this is, in fact, a good thing. Then again, if such a state is the result of government subsidization/welfare/protectionist policies, then maybe it's not a good thing, if one is concerned about economic liberties, corporate welfare, relations with trade foreign trade partners, etc.

It's always amusing to be reminded that there is actually a game connected to these forums. :p

But..um, surely this means im in masses of debt if much more going out than coming in? Wont my economy collapse?:confused:

my nation is doing too well if you ask me I’m always top of the regional ranking on things that my economy isn’t even made of perhaps my ideas aren’t so crazy! (well 100% income tax might have its issues)

Foreign countries are not the only source of wealth for your economy. You've also got "a powerhouse of a private sector" sitting there at home. (edit: and if that economy became anything less, I would think it likely that the protectionist policies apparently in place would quickly shift from assisting imports to assisting exports).

My economy has inproved greatly recently, per capita GDP is up by $6000 in a relatively short time. My trade deficit, although high, is 1/3 what it used to be. Unemployment has been cut in half. Crime is actually low, despite the lack of funding, according to my homepage.

Some of the best government handouts, anyway:

:D

Plus, I'm seeing "Government Waste" not "Budget surplus" (the ratio of which to overall government budget is slightly higher than some of the other nations listed)

But if your government takes in more money than it spends, is that not a surplus?

I suppose, if there was a debt to pay off or something (but then that's still money being spent). Otherwise, I'd be more inclined to consider myself overcharged, and thus to call it a rip off.

Either way, the label at NSEconomy is "Government Waste." I think I have seen "Budget Surplus" before, but I am unsure. I'm hoping that someone posts an actual example, if the "Budget Surplus" item exists, so I can figure out exactly what NSEconomy considers it to be.

My economy started out strong, rapidly rising to all-consuming, and has been frightning for a couple of years now.

I suppose, if there was a debt to pay off or something (but then that's still money being spent). Otherwise, I'd be more inclined to consider myself overcharged, and thus to call it a rip off.

OK. In my case, it's not really wasted or overcharge. It's refunded to my citizens and the end of the fiscal year, who then pump it into the economy.

But..um, surely this means im in masses of debt if much more going out than coming in? Wont my economy collapse?:confused:

No, because it isn't "debt". People are buying goods from other countries but they are paying for them with money they earned; it's no different then buying goods from a domestic producer because the money ultimately comes back to the economy it left.

Not one dime on religion, nobody can ever find the place to attack it, and somehow that huge government bureaucracy functions without paying a cent on administration costs. Who says this game's not realistic?

Highest GDP per capita, 108b short of highest gdp(347+t each... 100b is hardly a matter)

However, this largely came about when my tax rate dives to 0... And I RP as a communist nation, with 100% "tax", although we use credits in a way similar to money, so its not nessecarially 100%... but not 0, for sure.

Meh. I rp as having a very strong economy, mostly through exporting.

Incidentally I make up almost half of the gross regional product. (300/800 trillion) Unemployment rate is very low, GDP per capita is comfortably high. I do have a trade deficiet, but that doesn't concern me overly much, mostly 'cause I can't seem to get rid of it.
