Rakonas: I can use my SO account to purchase you a house from anywhere pretty much, just tell me where the best deal is and i'll go grab it for you.
Doesn't that entail hefty import fees and what not? I prefer smuggling.

Pretty cool until you realize that this sort of retail tourism killed eThailand's economy!

Zac, you have incredible economic might. Lowering your food prices forced a lowering in three other companies' prices too.
You might be able to use this to lower overall food prices and give everyone cheap food, if you want to do that.

Think about it Zac! We can outcompete everyone easily.. and feed the WORLD! People will flock to paraguay for its absurdly low food prices, and the greedy corporations will cry as they fail to turn a profit!

Yeah. Set it at, say, 32: This way we get a decent 10 cash per sale, while maintaining massive levels of sales.
If it turns out other corporations can outcompete us, we just set it at 50 and have our workers buy our food.

Also, if we can get massive profits, especially with workers buying our food, we can afford to raise wages higher and higher, and maybe fire everyone below a certain skill, becoming a high-wage, super-efficient food producer.

Getting conquered by Indonesia? That's understandable.

Getting conquered by the Philippines?

On a unrelated note, I'm still trying to think of what use a military-industrial complex would do to a nation...So, I have a question.

How do wars of secession work? Do you need to just spend some gold, and volia, you are an independent nation waging war against the conquerors?

If that is the case, then a military-industrial complex is useful, but for invaders like us. Taking over an existing country gets loads of angry people against us and leave us prone to dealing with the Establishment once we do get a semblance of power. Creating our own nation from scratch would grant us greater control and quicker control too. It is however more expensive in term of Gold, and you'll NEED to find an alliance to back you up, because your little nation won't stay alive forever.
