Huh. OK.

Let's see how the economy is.



HOLY SHIT. At least we know how the economic advisor died.



This should help us out a tiny bit.



I'm going to most favour anyone with decent economic growth.



Africa is likely going to become a superpower, due to being far away from the nuclear conflict.



I'll just let them fight. No reason to provoke a possible invasion.



And now, to show our economy after most favouring most of the countries I could see.



Not much change. God damn it.

I will probably need a bit of help to fix the economy. I have no idea what to do, and spamming economic things with my allies dosen't seem to do much.

It looks like the scenario briefing got cut off halfway through. Is that because you were taking a screenshot at that very moment or is that how it came?

It's just how it showed up for me.

Dang! I see the problem. I corrected the problem and now the sequence is normal. I may as well get the police state levels fixed now since I recently learned how to do this. What should the police state levels be for each WTA?

As for you economy, try opening trade relations with the Soviet Union and its allies. They are rated as indifference/cooperation last time I checked.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. We must make the Soviet Union a trade partner.



WHAT!? THIS WILL NOT STAND!







Hey, if we have the Imperalist ideology, we may as well act like imperialists.









Damn it!





We use about 12 of these



Ha ha!





We have to just let them fight. No point in pissing off a country much more powerful than us.



Fuck it. I'm lowering social spending and removing tax completely. We're going to lose popularity, of course, but we would also lose popularity for having a huge amount of debt.



We do some surgical strikes to keep our popularity up.



WOAH, WOAH, WHAT!?







This, hopefully, will make us more popular in Europe.





I didn't manage to take a screenshot of it, but I requested the UK to invest a bit more.



Bastards...



I further modify the budget. If I'm going to have 0 popularity, I may as well have 0 popularity and a strong economy.

This is hilarious to read through. Also...your surgical strike on Rwanda improved their Quality of Life. How does that even work?? 

[Tok'ra Operative]

AoD, one way to bring your popularity up is to stop the timer, go to the War Room, and invade several South American countries at once and make them surrender on the spot. Also the Capitalists are your enemy now so you may as well just watch them duke it out with the Centralists.

Seems to take one successful invasion to raise popularity to 100%. Imperialism is a fun ideology to have.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Every dollar counts. Yes.





I fear that an invasion could end with another world war. I'm going to have to send some very discouraging surgical strikes Rwanda's way.





Enjoy your freedom while you have it, Brazil, for soon, you will be under US control.




Results from the third, and final, surgical strike.



Hah.



I feel very imperialistic today! So, let's go stomp on some underdeveloped nations until their main food source is their own children!



Well, fuck, that was fast and unsatisfying.



I crave more senseless violence!







Soon after this invasion, I began to realise that a successful invasion of a country makes our popularity 100%. So I decided to hold off invading 'till shit gets really bad.



After I took them, of course!

Today, we push fowards through South America! Tommorow, we take Africa! And... sometime in the future, we take the rest of the world.

Well, fuck. It appears as if I've loaded the incorrect saved game and continued from it. Oops.

[Ultimuh]

How is Greenland doing?
I have an idea.. If possible, why not try to turn Greenland into a superpower?

You do realize the budget changes will not take affect until the following year right? Taking over some of the Capitalist countries of Western Europe and collecting "tribute" might also help you fix your GNP without sacrificing your popularity.

Damn, I never knew that. Taking over Europe sounds like fun!

We'll have to focus on fixing our fucked economy first.

AoD, when invading Europe; "Remember, baby steps." Keep in mind England IS on your side. You should take out Ireland and France first. Be sure to save before invading France so that you can revert in the event the UK doesn't assist you in the attack. May as well let your chief ally take a piece of the pie. I wouldn't advice attacking communist states right away since many are rated as "cooperation" with you. Also if you let England take Ireland first, you will have to wait until they bring their military all back to the UK before attacking France.

[Angel Of Death]

For the love of GOD, my keyboard apparently shat out while I was playing, so instead of taking screenshots, nothing has happened. I was just pressing buttons that did nothing. I'll try to describe what has happened.

We narrowly avoid popularity death by occupying most of South America, we bomb Africa constantly for popularity, and we just survive the election. We also attempt to re-introduce tarrif tax, but due to huge amounts of debt, we decide it was a very bad idea.

Economy.

Huh. I was looking in the wrong capture folder, it seems. Since I'm not in the mood to copypaste 130 images into a spoiler tag, I'm just uploading it here

Okay, after a small setback a few nights ago, I gotten back to work on my newest scenario. In the scenario, the Soviet Union and Iraq are allies. So it is safe to say that the Persian Gulf War will not be a cake walk. Appealing to the UN against Iraqi aggression is useless as you will get vetoed. Surgical strikes are very risky and most likely suicide. Operation Desert Storm will very likely lead to the Third World War. Whats more, Radical Fascists have taken control of the Mexican government, leaving a potentially dangerous foe right at America's doorstep. Below are several screenshots describing the current setup. Any suggestions are most welcome.

I need to get some land in Asia, for launching invasions if shit gets bad.



Perfect. I get land, and revenge.









WE WIN!



If we don't get more land, we won't politically survive the month.







For this, Zaire will be excluded from our bombings.





I think I will!



It bloody well won't stop me from crushing you, though.





They put up a decent fight. I think we're a bit too underdeveloped to take on Africa.





My next big plot is to take out Brazil. I can't have a major power so close.



We start to invade Iceland, for popularity.





It is all over rather quickly.



We need more popularity. Sorry, Denmark, but Greenland must be ours.





Instant surrender. Hurrah.



Since Iceland is now free from Denmark, I can begin to make it a strong power (after WE become a strong power)

I'm afraid the time has finally come. I've run out of easily conquerable land. This could spell our doom.

[EDIT] Aaaand we have just had a large economic crash. Fuck.

I need some suggestions on what to do. The only thing that kept us alive was our war economy, and with no easy way to do that, we're fucked.
