Where to place and what to place where
Releasethe Krakken
Ok 2 people asked me where i will place the holding companies. At that stage I just logged in to the recent changes.
Some reflection can be find in these articles by me:

Based on that my strategy will be as follow.
1. MY first free holding company I will place in Ireland for the WRM bonus immediately!
Yes its 70% only but we can see that pollution will nerf the region bonus to shreds anyway.
So base + country will in most countries remain the key component to the formula.
Region and pollution will cancel each other out especially in high bonus regions.
I will add 1 Rubber Plantation and 1 Alu Mine to that Holding Company. If indeed country citizenship is immaterial to production I will get my usual 500 from rubber 250 base + 250(country as serbia have all the resources).
If indeed I dont get 500 here . I can still revise my strategy.
I am anyway planning to bring some taxes back to Ireland so that dont care if i operate at a minor production in 33% of my wrm factories.
At this stage I will also be able to discern what is the effects on pollution and will basically be able to see how much region bonuses I get in Ireland.
2. Here things get a bit hairy. I Have an idea that pollution will nerf the region bonus completely.
So step 2 I immediately place my food Holding in a high bonus region that is rented by Serbia. We have one in Japan and Canada.
So now I will be able to see after a few days the effects of pollution on my production. Day 1 will have no pollution obviously. By day 2 I could somehow get a better idea since we will be able to see the pollution per region.
Anyway I will now be able to discern the net effect of region bonus minus pollution.
STEP 3: After a week or 2 I will place my other Holding Companies .
Let the dust settle.
1. Discern the popularity of the new airplanes and profitability. Figure out how they will fit into the new system. Make a projection if your wrong your wrong but then this is a game if you do not do some decision based on your calcs - why play online games.
2. Discern how region bonuses , country bonuses and pollution work across several different regions and countries.
3. Give Plato time to figure out he f* up in several areas.
On a side-note:
The biggest space telescope that will launch in October 2018 will have a zero error tolerance. Unlike Hubble which was within travelling distance this will require several years months of travel to fix a problem.
Watch Telescope on Discovery to see how this will work.

Whatever you do don't place any trust in the RtK traitor
yeah they should follow your advise oh wait you suck at every aspect of the game even politics.
'traitor' is someone who professes to be of one camp, while working against them for another. a breach of trust is involved.
rtk worked with your camp for a period. But you very openly disagreed on fundamental policies. he very openly stopped working with you (and handed back the State assets he was holding unlike your staff!). Later he began working with a new camp whose policies were much more inline with his own.
there is no breach of trust in his actions. he did it all above board.
the fact that you declare anyone who opposes you to be a traitor is a lesson your colleagues should take to heart.

Is there another bonus for having all your holding companies in one country's borders?
no but in the long run it will be less complicated.
I think so too.
