	Economic Report #2, 310 AD Increase Your PM Length

Corruption remains the main issue for this administration. While the Ministry applauds the commencement of construction of a courthouse in a Del Monte, the corruption has risen even further. A graphical analysis follows here.

Written analysis:
Chart 1 (top most):
It is shocking to see just how much of the nation's corruption arises from the so-called "Corrupt Four" of Gaia, Del Monte, Here It Is, and Macross City! Note the gross disproportion between their share of national income and their share of national corruption, and also compare their shares to national averages. It's shocking, it's revolting, and it must be stopped!

Chart 2 (bottom):
Just as the "Corrupt Four" stick out, their respective provinces of Piña Colada and Île de Rose stand out as the most corrupt provinces. Again, compare income shares with corruption shares. Naturally Mingapulco is stellar in this respect, a fact being cited by the M.P.P. to support their province.

In summary: I am continuing to push for the courthouses in the "Corrupt Four". Production has begun in Del Monte; this is excellent. The same must be done in the other three. I will post my budget proposal in the Minister's 310 AD Turnchat orders.

Please use this thread to discuss all economic matters, including the upcoming budget.

By the way, the numbers in the legends (boxes) are percent of NET INCOME. The "income" charts are actually revenue, whereas the corruption is, well corruption. This the net income percentage is Revenue - Corruption.

Good job reddawg. I guess I see we need a courthouse in delmonte so I'll shut up about the knight there. Aggie walks off and kicks persian POW out of frustration and finds himself feeling good again.

Yeah, gotta agree on building courthouses in those four cities. However, I do have some sentiment for the SMC's wish to build more knights empire-wide, as we certainly need them to continue pressing the conflict against the Persians (the current tally of knights will, simply, be insufficient).

Corruption in Piña Colada?

I am outraged! We in Piña Colada are NOT corrupt! I refuse to stay here and listen to this drivel!

lol @ donegeal

the courthouse in delmonte only has 8 turns left; i plan on starting another courthouse in one of the other cities this turnchat as well, and maybe rushing del monte's. but dont worry, the SMC will get a generous share this term as well (i, too, wish to see the persian war ended ASAP so we can enter a period of internal consolidation)

Reddawg,
First, my congratulations for this great work.
Second, a question:
How much can do a courthouse to reduce corruption? I mean, in percentage terms.

I've seen anywhere from 25% reduction to 50% reduction. I am expecting a 33% reduction in the case of Del Monte. It is important to keep in mind that, as all the cities grow, corruption will rise more and more, and courthouses will thereby save us more and more Lytons. :-)

Excellent.
Maybe this data could help the palace relocation / FP committee decide where they want the FP built.

Re: Courthouses

Yes, I am continuing production of the courthouse in Del Monte, and am changing HereItIs from Library to Courthouse.

We need to deal with the corruption first, IMO.

Reddawg you should be aware of city's custom before you state anything. In our macross city, we have a city-wide holiday called. "Give-your-friend-large-sum-of-lyton-for-favor" day. It's a very traditional event and should not be counted as blackmailing.

And There's loveshack... they have way too many of Mardi Gras out there and their ladies are always walking naked in the beach... Wait nevermind thats corrupt youth, not the kind of corruption we're talking about.

UNortho, this pleases me greatly! Two courthouses out of four, in just two turnchats, is not bad. My budget/orders for the turnchat will be posted this evening; so if anyone has anything they plan spending cash on, let me know. I believe the SMC wants two upgrades?

City Planning requests a rush of the temple in Opiadom to take the culture pressure off of Opiadom and place it onto Rheims.

Wish list for Rushing:

1. Temple in Opiadom
2. Courthouse in HereItIs
3. Temple in Willsbury.

I fully understand that in this state of war, Military takes precidence, however.

I also proposed to change one of the Entertainers in Pasargadea to a Scientist, and the rest to taxmen, to enable you to place 0% science if you haven't already.
