Economy

Column Terms

GDP

The annual funds production of your nation. It is constant and tied to land ownership. The maximum starting value is 50 million. Countries can have their GDP reduced via events or by choice but can be returned to normal levels. Land lost while reduced in GDP scales back up. Excessive population loss will reduce player GDP.

Trade

Funds coming directly from or to the trade section of another entity. Outbound trade is deducted from the balance while inbound adds to it.

Trade partners dictate the growth rate of a nation's GDP. To grow the player must invest 5 million funds to get a GDP boost dictated by the systems sheet. Embargos produce negative percentages and GDP recession is automatic down to a minimum of 40 million.

Craft & Yearly

Craft is the total combined value of all current craft or greater, it dictates the annual building capacity. Yearly is said capacity, it is the ability to construct new craft to one fifth the value of Craft over all once per year. The Craft value can be raised at any point but can only be lowered after the end of the year in which it was raised.

Savings

Saved funds can be moved directly from the start saved of one player to another. Savings get banked at the start of every year. Maintaining a level of savings is vital for a strong economy as running into debt increases the chance of national collapse. The column marked Change measures whether savings are increasing or decreasing and by how much.

Perks

Perks are a set of buffs that can be applied to the player nation. It costs 1 million to change the active perk.

Fertile | National Population grows by 3% rather than 1%

Boomer | Bonus GDP growth

Charismatic | Base +50 to AI relationships

Stable | Collapse chance is halved

Thrifty | 20% more spare funds

Speedy | 25% more annual deployments

Resistant | Maintain 75% of GDP while occupied

Industrious | Build Yearly becomes 1/3 of craft value

Collapse

Collapse chance is a function of the players GDP:Debt ratio as well as their size over a threshold. At the onset of every year a d100 is rolled and a value lower than the %chance will result in an enforced catastrophic event for the involved state.

Sprawl

Nations with a combined size over a certain threshold will experience over-extension. Over-extension includes inbound trade, aligned AI, owned GDP, and colonies. Core GDP scales with the number of players in a nation but AI does not.

Sheet Etiquette

Comments and Notes

Comments are to be left on intended changes for anonymous users(seen an an orange corner) while notes are used to track the movement of funds

Formatting

Do not put anything but plain numbers into the inside of cells.

On Behalf

Never change the economy of another player without their express permission.

Corporations

Corporations function similarly to nations but have no access to GDP. They require a host nation to function. Corporations are capable of producing craft at a high efficiency.

AI States

AI Economy

AI nations run off a simplified version of the player economy, AIs are not able to save. You cannot modify an AIs spending unless you meet the necessary relations requirement on the AI relations sheet.
