NationStates Jolt Archive

As you probably know, the NationStates GDP calculator (here (http://www.pipian.com/stuffforchat/gdpcalc.php?nation=) ) shows your country's national budget (mine is currently $15 trillion)

Now, how does it calculate this? Is it something to do with income tax plus economy? Or is it how u deal with issues? Or is it both?

It takes your econmy rating, which is decided on by issues, and gives you a gdp per capita based on the rating, and then multiplies that by the amount of ppl u have. Then your budget it a percentage of the overall GDP based on taxes

Issues affect your economy.

Calculators assign a certain dollar value to the economic levels. It takes that and multiplies it by your population (and often some other variables) to get your GDP. They then take a portion of the GDP for the national budget. The percentage taken is related to your tax rate (also controled by issues).

blah!

blah!

And that adds what to this thread?

more than what you added, if you read it hack said about the same thing as i did so i was forced to reply with the standard "blah"

the GDP is derived by the following sets of equations....

First the application assigns number values based off of your Civil Rights and Economic ratings into values for CONSUMER_CONFIDENCE_CIVIL_EFFECT, PRODUCT_ECONOMY, and CONSUMER_CONFIDENCE_ECONOMIC_EFFECT. The grabs a rating for GOVERNMENT_EFFICIENCY based off the level of corruption; and also takes the value of your POPULATION. It then assigns values based off your Civil and Economic ratings to WORK_ETHIC_CIVIL and WORK_ETHIC_ECONOMIC, and then grabs your TAX_RATE.

It will then Calculate WORK_ETHIC_TAX off of your TAX_RATE + WORK_ETHIC_CIVIL and WORK_ETHIC_ECONOMIC

After that it determines CONSUMER_CONFIDENCE by:

CONSUMER_CONFIDENCE = 1 + CONSUMER_CONFIDENCE_ECONOMIC_EFFECT + CONSUMER_CONFIDENCE_CIVIL_EFFECT.

Complete OUTPUT is then found by:

OUTPUT = PRODUCT_ECONOMY * POPULATION * WORK_ETHIC_CIVIL * WORK_ETHIC_ECONOMIC.

It then figures GOVERNMENT_EXPENSE by:

GOVERNMENT_EXPENSE = OUTPUT * GOVERNMENT_EFFICIENCY * ( TAX + WORKER_ENTHUSIASM * CONSUMSER_CONFIDENCE )

If figures IMPORTS by:

IMPORTS = 1 / CONSUMER CONFIDENCE + TAX * CONSUMPTION / WORK_ETHIC / PRODUCT_ECONOMY

OUTPUT is then used to derive EXPENSES which then determined NET_TRADE by:

NET_TRADE = IMPORT - EXPENSES

and finally GDP is derived by:

CONSUMPTION + NET_TRADE + GOVERNMENT_EXPENSE.

or in short, the actual snippet from the code

ahhh

use this one its better: http://nseconomy.thirdgeek.com/nseconomy.php?
