Day 435, 10:53 • Published in USA USA • by Department of Citizen Affairs

We at the DoE know its a lot easier to start a Raw Materials business then a finished product business. What you might not know is that in certain regions, you'll get better productivity, thus increasing the likelihood of you having a successful business. The following is a guide by Ashot on which regions have the best productivity for each industry.

People often wonder where and what type of a company to create/purchase.
When creating a raw materials company, you should create or buy one that is located in a high productivity region. It is very important to remember when you create or buy a company, it's location cannot be changed. You would need to reside in the preferred location before creating the company. The company you purchase will stay in the same region where it was created. The US has high productivity regions for all resources except for diamonds and iron, but we do have medium productivity regions for those resources. Any state not listed under that resource is a low productivity, and these companies will struggle to compete.
