Alright then, how should I fix our budget??
Lower funding for non-extremely important stuff (defense until things start heating up). Set taxes to levels that don't send approval plummeting. Hopefully set it to where approval not lowering a whole lot or where it's actually rising. Set trading to Most Favored for non-communist, non-enemy/rival countries. Get GNP growth as high as you can.

That should balance or nearly balance things out.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Still projected 0%. You seriously better raise it before the end of the year or the next year will be painful.

Raise estimated popularity.

I don't have the game open myself, but here's what I think you should be doing:

Freaking lower your sales tax back to about 1 or so. Upping it that high is murdering your popularity.

Lower your defense slightly. Maybe to 300 or 250. Maybe even 200.

Raise corporate tax a little.

Make profit about 0: you can't use any surplus in anything anyway as far as I can tell.

GNP growth: 0%.

That is bad. Unless you're fine with staying in that state.

Forever.

While all other nations in the world outgrow you.

In addition, minor defect in popularity. Minor, but over a long period of time that will hurt you.

Also, SPEND YOUR SURPLUS.

This any better?

Oh, Canada asked for a culture exchange. I accepted. Imgur's fucking up and not uploading the images, so I'll just tell you in writing.

It's meh.

GNP isn't as good as it could be. And you have a pointless surplus in cash.

Whatever, eff it, it's good enough.

No, we cannot. The countries that won't nuke us back or prompt the Soviets to bomb the living shit out of everyone will get us assassinated or impeached and the countries that will nuke us back will destroy us.


[Edit] I'm launching surgical strikes on Iraq to destroy their military so they can't invade Kuwait. Should I do the same with the Soviets?

No. No. I really don't think that's a good idea. Iraq is a mostly-helpless country. RUSSIA is NOT a helpless country.
