New planet colonized!!!!

18-01-2004, 16:22
As of 0800 hours yesterday, one of our colony ships landed on the planet Rhombus IV and placed it under our flag. It is a medium sized planet with an earthlike climate and atmosphere. The odds of finding a planet like this are extremely against anyone, meaning that this is a stroke of good luck that will stay with the colonists. There were approximately 20,000 people on board the ship, and Freighters are bringing more people. That is all for now.

Over 600 Billion a year, which is every two days, and half of the years I don't buy anything

Well, the problem with that, is that you don't have six hundred billion a year! (At your current tax rating.) You only have 256 billion a year (National Budget). And some of that has to go towards keeping your economy running, and civil services like police and firemen, and supporting your military, and other stuff. Suffice it to say that unless you recieve a donation from someone more powerful, you don't have enough money to build large spacecraft yet.

If you are wondering how I found out about your money, here is the GDP calculator I used:

Your GDP is one trillion something. However, you can't go with 100% taxes. At your tax level, your budget is 256 billion. GDP is the total amount of money in your nation. National budget is the total amount of money your government recieves from your people (taxes and such.)

I don't use it all.

You can't use all of your GDP because it isn't your money. GDP is the total amount of money floating around in your nation (Your people's earnings and such.) Your government's money is the National Budget! Do you understand now?

How about this, I have a higher tax rate for the rich, and that is not shown. And the budget is just saved money

No. If it isn't shown, it doesn't exist. It is that simple.
