Industry research is good, but always make sure to have the Commerce research to back it up.

Invest in Political Thought for more national focuses, keep in mind that the amount possible is based on core population.

Keep up your Social Thought under Culture to improve literacy, in turn research speed.

I strongly recommend always keeping philosophy up to date because of the massive buff (It's under the culture tab).

The littlest bit underdeveloped then the opponent and the player will start to get tossed around. The only thing that I can stress is watching military tech. The green outline is researched, orange is available for research, grey is unresearchable until a certain time or previous research has been met. Technologies Tab Self explanatory in the most part. I personally recommend keeping this at 50%-60% at peace, and raising it according to how costly a war is to incentivise joining the army. Smaller nations who don't have a large population may suffer from not getting enough soldier pops. This provides buffs for getting more generals, but lose soldiers who actually fight in the field. More they get paid the higher the chance of a promotion.

Military spending, or militaries wages.

Being sphereвЂ™d also means you make next to nothing from tariffs. Higher the tariff the more expensive it is for your people/industries to buy abroad.

Tariffs determine the price of buying products from foreign markets.

However this only becomes a thing when doing specific social reforms.

Below that is social spending, paying for social programs, like money for old people, money for unemployed, etc.

Below that is administration, the more spent on that, the more secure the country becomes (police basically), and products move about more efficiently (cheaper), and widespread crime in certain regions will be less likely.

Below it is education, more spent meets better education, and faster, and is always recommended to be maxed out.

To keep the army/navy fit, pay around 50%, then 81% to 100% when at war. Cheapness is determined by how much the industry can cover items versus outsourcing resources.

National stockpile, is how much factories cover producing items, and the sliders determine the amount of the budget is allocated to paying the military, navy, and construction goods.

The pie charts will tell what percentage of the population is getting what quality of living, so find a balance between happiness and profits. Taxing too high will cause unrest, as they canвЂ™t get their needs or wants.

In capitalist economy, tax the rich the least so they keep funding growth.To the left is taxes, and loans at the bottom, to the right is government spending, and daily income at the bottom. Luxury factories produce the most industrial power, however only improve living quality for the wealthy, and not particularly useful for Communist or Socialist.Д«udget Tab The budget tab comes right after the Production tab. Only certain government types can allow the player to make factories, other times the player must rely on the pop type capitalist, which will fund factories and railroads.However, if kept minor it leaves a constant stream of potential workers for factories that are expanding or new factories in that particular region. On a more desperate level, pops will rebel outright, mainly socialist or communist wanting to take control of reforms and government. Unemployment leads to people not being able to get their needs, they get angry at the government and can become rebellious. There are pros and cons to having unemployed people.If it's not glowing red there are no unemployed people in the country. The final one, the man with the hammer, if glowing red it means that there are unemployed people.Early game many factories may need subsidies to make ends meet. However, only certain government parties can do this option, by going to the Politics tab and hovering over the parties it will state which can subsidize (generally everything but liberals). A way to stop them from going bankrupt, is to go into the production menu, find the factory and the little box under it's icon, clicking this will send a check for government subsidies, continuing operation on government expense. The factory will glow red if factories have gone bankrupt, no longer operating.The hammer will glow green if the player is currently making factories, if the player isn't, it will not glow at all.Under that is a hammer, factory, and a man holding a hammer. Under production it shows 5 resources, those are the top 5 produced resources of your nation. Production Tab The production tab is the first tab on the left most side.
