"New types of Raw Materials discovered

Starting today, all the regions will offer a medium production value for all the resources but every region will be rich in one (and only one) resource. The available resources will be: Grain, Fish, Fruit, Veal, Deer, Iron, Aluminum, Oil, Saltpetre, Rubber.

How will the productivity work for raw materials?
If, for instance, a country has at least one region rich in Grain, all the Grain companies in that country will get a 25% bonus in productivity. If that country looses the Grain region, the companies will stop getting that 25% bonus. The same rule applies for the Iron and Oil companies.

How will the productivity work for food & weapon companies?
All the food companies will get a 5% bonus for every type of food resource that your country has in its regions! The food resources are Grain, Fish, Veal, Fruits and Deer. So if your country has at least one region for every of these resources, the food companies from your country will produce with 25% more! Of course, if your country has only 3 regions with rich resources, the bonus for the food companies will be 15%.

The same applies for the weapon companies. The raw materials for the weapons companies are Iron, Aluminum, Oil, Saltpeter and, Rubber.

How about the other industries?
Hospital and Defense System Industries will be removed at a later date and we will pay compensations for these companies.

Moving tickets, Housing, Stone and Titanium Companies - will be the first companies (and for a period of time the only companies) that will have access to the future new industies. We will let you know soon the details of the migrations.

Does this give a big advantage to big countries?
Not quite, because the best strategy is to have at least one region that is rich in one particular resource. The goal is to own all the 10 different types of resources in your regions. And the new allocation of the resources is set up so that no country has in its original regions more than 5 types of resources. Sure a small country like Singapore who owns only one region will have only one resource (unless they conquer more regions).

This sounds quite complex. How it affects me?
Well, if you are a simple 2 clicker you shouldn't worry. The thing that you should know is that it would be great if you could help your country to conquer regions that offer different types of raw materials. It will help your country's economy.

If you are a company manager - almost the same. Depends on the industry: Owning an iron company - you will want the Iron bonus. Owning a grain company - you will want the Grain bonus. Owning a Food company - you will want as more food resources. Owning a Weapons companies - weapon resources.

Politician/leader - well, here is a little more complicated, as you will have to decide your geo-politics strategy so that your country will own as more types of resources. We won't teach you how as for sure you will find the best ways.

So what does that mean for Norway? Well, it means all our regions are medium for every resource.

And on top of that Ostlandet & Sorlandet have high cattle (veal is just a bad translation).
Svalbard JM & Nord-Norge have high fish.
Trondelag and Vestlandet have high oil.

Whether this means we get a production bonus... well I'm not sure. Next door Sweden has a couple of Deer rich regions - maybe they'd like to swap?
