One question about loans: I have a 90B loan that runs out within 2 game months- now: what happens at that date? Will my finances decrease by 90B or will the loan just disappear after paying interests for all those years? Should I use my 100B of cash and repay the other loans, repay this one, or invest everything in something else?

You pay the loan. One month I logged on to find I was -80 B and had to take out loans like crazy...

Good luck Mentop! I'll be watching you.

Actually I managed to decrease my country debt from 230 B to a mere 90B in a few game months, and boosting my finance index from 60 to 113.

Although that meant that my citizens were living like a 7th world country, but hey, who cares about them

It appears you need an offensive + strategic index of 30 in order to declare war. And a correction: war begins in December

I almost reached you Azazel, you are 502, while I'm 509

Instead as for my brother's country, I stabilized his economy a bit, by micromanaging most of his corporation trade strategies, and by making him get some good monthly cash in his treasury, so that he will eventually extinguish his debts, now I will need to teach him to do it alone, cause I don't want to look after 2 countries instead of one.

Damned me, why did I tell Giuseppe about that game

Hold your horses, junior. I was in the high 400s a couple of months ago, but I finance index dropped to some offensive preparations.

Giovanni, keep going, I need him as a lackey in the region.

That's funny, because what I am preparing to do in January (game time) is to make it so I will have two countries instead of one.

Oh well, but still, I think it was pretty good to end up in 509 position after only 1 week and a half of playing.

As for my bro's country, I'm working hard on it (harder than what he is doing at least )

Of course!

White Giant World, "The Republic of Mindao" is waiting for you. It is a great starting point, and is located near to my, and Giovanni Wine brothers' countries.

there are also quite skillfull players here that will help you turn that "ok" country into a superpower.

dude, I've got some bad news. This country sucks.

Cancel your ownership of that country, and take the country I proposed to you.

now invest some of your time reading the threads here, and ask questions.

The most important thing is to learn the basics of managing your corps, so that they make money. when you've got that, all the rest will just come to you.
