Ya its a "Play for 30 minutes a day" game. Its interesting. CEO's dont have borders of course. They cater to all the nations of the world (I am in the Giant White). The presidents have lil make believe countries. I first tried president for 2 days. But I didnt like it. All my State and Private industries in the country I picked out were crapped out on Debt to Global Corporations and everyone was unemployed. And the military too damn big too afford.

Being pres is actually quite hard, having to sort out the poxy mess the AI left me in. I don't have enough mid or low level workers to do most anything, which could take a while to sort out.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

That's easy to solve. Just close a few state owned companies that aren't making money. That will free up workers for more gainful pursuits. You also need to set the educational priorities. Set the total to below 120 to train less specialists and workers.

Which country are you?

Actually no Im not Globex. I changed the name to Cornered Rats... (all the good ones were taken!)


As CEO, So far I have set up an Oil Corporation and Electricity plant in 2 countries. The Electric plant is doing 'ok'. Its turning a miniscule profit considering the whole damn Market is cornered by a dozen people and it makes competition difficult. The oil company just set up and will commence drilling in 2 weeks.

I have also made bids for 3 existing corporations. A fighter producer,Mediocre Chemical company and a Production plant mfg.


The trick is to get a loan (if your a ceo). I got a 46B E$ loan to start with.

Med workers was difficult to find when I played president. It just depends what country you pick. I was a crap called Manara (which was crap). Like a banana republic with a huge overbloated military and 90% tax rates.lol.

If you want to sign up and give me 20B my login is (Itcamefrombelow@aol.com)

My country has gone down the crapper it seems, all the companies are no longer producing anything, there are more than enough workers, plenty of stocks and lots of demand, so Christ knows what I'm doing wrong.

My corp is doing OK, nobend motors (geddit ). I've a stone factory which is doing nicely, I'm buying a service company on the cheap, an amazing deal, it's making over 2mil per month and I'm paying like 1.84mil for it Also setting up a couple of other mining converns, and a bread factory in lagcity.
