MEME: Where to relocate companies to?

I am going to assume that you know everything about the economy and that I know nothing about the economy.

Milton Friedman talks about currency being able to adsorb almost all fluctuations in policies and productivity advantages.


However everyone uses the same currency in erepublik. So what can change in erepublik in response to economic policies and productivity advantages?

Local wages can change. This absorbs mostly income taxes and productivity advantages.

Local prices can change. This absorbs import taxes and value added taxes and productivity advantages.



If one country has low bonuses then wages are/go low and workers and WAM taxes are cheap.

If one country has high bonuses then wages are/go high and workers and wam taxes are high.


Thus it is my first conclusion; it does not matter where you place your companies. the prices will change and adjust to you. I have had this happen to me too many times 🙂 look at the job wages in France highest in the world. I moved my companies and now hire a bunch of workers causing the price of workers to rise and the price of houses to drop reducing my profit to what it would have been had I not moved my companies. Now maybe I am a large employer and can move the markets more than most.


So my advice would be to look only at your local market and build what ever is profitable for you there. The prices will adjust eventually to make your profit exactly the same as if you had done anything else.


What countries can do if they want to influence this is to have a government with is in perpetual war. The only way for citizens to earn unlimited gold is through battle hero medals. Therefore If a country can keep the price of a local battle hero medal below the cost of the items used to earn that battle hero medal, then factory profits will go to infinity. Bear in mind, items will be imported with the battle hero gold so this impact will not be huge enough for most people to care about.

conclusions :

1. It does not matter where a person places factories, do what you want and choose to be happy.

2. Choose your local market out of laziness; less moving around, less math, etc. build what is the most profitable there.

3. Choose the country that has the most history of wars if you want the most profits and become politically minded and always vote for more wars.

Build in America because we have three resistance wars going at any given time thus BH medal gold is the cheapest in USA thus gold profits for factories is the highest in USA. Resistance wars can be started with ten friends and 10k USD and produces about 80 gold in battle hero medals.
