What actions can i take to improve my nations economy? I'm guessing it can only really be improved through the daily issues. Are there any tips for how to raise my economy through issues? :$

Watch for issues that deal specifically with the way you manage your economy. Issues that deal specifically with labour and the market place are good ones to start with. Vote either pro-market or take the compromise option. Those tend to aid your economy. A good example is with the Uranium Deposit issue. There are three options; if you pick the third, you'll see a moderate improvement. Read each option carefully; the option will give you a hint as to the nature of the outcome. Of course, it's not always predictable, though some issues are.

I will be sure to take your advice, thanks.

Go capitalist.

AND DON'T OPT FOR GOVERNMENT MONOPOLIES - Its a clever trick!
Remember the economy rating is basically saying = Economic Freedoms, and Monopolies hurt the free market.

I took my economy from Basket Case to Strong by just reducing the government regulations once in a while. Now, if I could only figure out how to get rid of those pesky 14-year-olds and their lemonade stands....

get rid of those pesky 14-year-olds and their lemonade stands

That means that you've controlled the economy too much, you've intergated the government into the market so much that only a 14 year old boy selling lemonade has a private economic intitution from the government - which is entirely the opposite of capitalism and free market principles.

Thanks for the continuing tips :D

You're in the WA? Vote AGAINST the current proposal, because if that passes it will harm your economy...

And it works just fine. :)

It's true!

Any Free Trade resolutions will open your free trade capabilities. The highest rating you could get is Frightening, which is good compared to the other two which should be World Benchmark for being the best in the world [sic].

This is what I tend to ignore...just because I like the phrases "Liberal Democratic Socialists" and "Left Wing Utopia":p But seriously, despite other Rpers tendencies, I tend to ignore the ratings as I consider other economic values important and if one knows what they are doing they, I am sure a nation could have a 'great' economy without a capitalist system (RL China is NOT what I have in mind). I tend to fudge my numbers to a massive, but more realistic and practical, degree when I engage in Rps. For the issues, just go with whatever sounds fair to you or whatever sound the most interesting. Fyi, I have done the second more often lately;)

I believe the OP was talking about the game mechanics and not RPing - by the way, I typically RP my nation much differently than the game depicts me as too. :)

Yeah, in that regard, I do agree with everyone's posts. If you want a 'good' economy you must take steps to turn it into a corporatist wasteland.

I generally use the calculators and issue as suggestions, as a side note. I am glad I am not the only one.

I found that typically accepting the middle ground options worked for me. When there was no middle option then I opted for the corporate one. One can achieve a decent economy by taking the middle road.

That explains how some of my commie friends got a strong economy... some were happy with it and others were ticked, saying "if only such-and-such resolution failed, my nation would be a paradise- even though it would be reclassified as imploded."

Go commies! A strong economy is good enough. Good enough! Good enough!
