Can someone give it to me in lamens terms. Is it really BAD or Good? I got a feeling it's bad. I've looked it up, but I don't understand it.

It means you have a pretty bad economy. For instance, on Thirdgeek, your nation's GDP per capita is 81 dollars. That's really really low. Although, if you're good, RPing a poor country can be fun.

It's really bad. Basically, people are eating each other to survive, no one has any wealth at all, there is no industry or commerce, etc. Imagine the most run-down third world country you can think of, then multiply that by 10.

Oh I'm trouble. Any idea on how to boost it?

Make.. better decisions with your nation? :D

To put that in perspective, the poorest real country (East Timor) has $400, and even North Korea has $1700...

In the mean time, you can RP asking the international community for aide, food, money, water. Some nations are very generous.

The economy can be improved if you answer every issue by going with the options presented by the secretary of commerce, or corporate executives (CEOs, representatives etc), allowing economic freedoms (if there's a choice to have a product on the market, or to ban it, you should allow it), give tax cuts, and try not to increase government spending on anything you don't need, like public education.

I also need help, I'm down to Basket Case...and still Civil Rights Lovefest, too. That means that even though I'm giving peoplet tax cuts and some freedom, the economy still sucks. :(

And I started out with "Powerhouse". I wonder what I did wrong.

In this (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=392208) thread, Euro notes that CRL denotes High Civil & Political Freedom, and Medium Economic Freedom. As such, Czardas, you're clearly still placing some restrictions on business. Also, it has been noted that economic freedom and economic strength do not strictly relate: many Psychotic Dictatorships have Frightening Economies. I should think it will work out in the long run.

Support Uranium Mining. That's all I'll say.

Hey, I've been wondering, what is the order of the quality of economies, is weak better than reasonable, I mean the the exact order, can anyone give me that? please telegraph me, I'm in "the vast realm of unitari". thank you.

You have to consider the consequences of the stances you take before certain issues. Every position has some kind of trade-off once the legislation passes. For example, some social equality issues lead to increased Civil Rights ratings while lowering your Economy ratings.

I actually knew all of that, I just want to know how to raise your economy without necessarily raising economic freedom, because I prefer moderate economic freedom -- kind of a compromise between capitalism and socialism. (I had a Psychotic Dictatorship with All-Consuming, but it died. [/hijack])

You can get strong economies without high economic freedoms. It's mainly relating to issues such as tariffs, unions, and regulations like minimum wages.

basicly if you economy has imploded then you have a worse economy then the weimar republic (they had to have a billon (million million) mark note made so people could buy bread (this is from a price of 1 or 2 marks)

Is it possible to have all three at the highest or lowest possible point?

if the economy is low but the country is socialist it can be good. It will mean that the government is looking after the people.

In a Perfect system there would be no need for an economy

This is my country rating ATM

Civil Rights: Excellent
Economy: Developing
Political Freedoms: Few.

I've really been pretty much all over the place, i went from Scandanavian to Corrupt dictator ship in about 2 days

Is it possible to have all three at the highest or lowest possible point?

Yes. Anarchies have all three levels of freedom at the highest; psychotic dictatorships have all three levels of freedom at the lowest.

To improve your economy, you're welcome to join the International Development Co-operative (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=433722) - an organisation dedicating to aiding the poorest nations.

IMO Political Freedoms and Civil Rights aren't really necessary. As long people have money in their pockets, they always seem content. I mean look at Singapore. They have very few civil rights, but the people never seem to complain because they're rich! :D

Haha yeah I would say the same if my nation didnt have very good civil rights, time to stomp those out :D

It means you dont even have a economy :rolleyes:

You need civil rights to get a good economy or the people will not be able to even recive money or use it. The one issue I got way way back when my economy was low I got one that asked me if I should money inject into the Automobile Inc and it went to Powerhouse.

Yeah, if you're planning on RP, there's loans and so forth available. Some nations (such as mine, aren't I good? *basks in righteous glow*) even offer conventional development aid without expectation of repayment. Otherwise, it's just keep answering the issues.

I didn't actually know anyone else was interested in aid and development. Phew.

Bah! The IDC (even though it's later down in alphabetical order) offers unconditional aid to developing nations, and not only in the form of money! We can give machinery, medicine, food, clothing, and lots of stuff. And all our loans are zero-interest!

If you want to improve your economy within the game, choose to subsidise industry. If you've answered an issue which hits your economy hard, don't answer it more than once - if it comes up again, then dismiss it.
