Maybe a Minister of Economics (either elected or appointed) who can manipulate currency and make loans to governments and individuals.
I am not the economics guy so I am sure some of you will have better ideas.

@AC

Governments don't even issue money for months, How come they will manipulate currency? 🙂

Like I said economics are not my strong suit. lol I just want to get some conversation started and maybe some good ideas that no one will listen to.

I think we should still be able to donate RMs.
I think the whole of the country financials should be within a stricter standard framework for every country, viewable by everyone who holds CS. I think MoF should be an ingame job, like CP, not an arbitrary appointment.
I think we should be able to make economic pacts with other country regardless of their "bordering us" status, where surplus resources can be traded against others that we need, for an automated fixed term.

...without it needing a declaration of war or an offensive action - trading agreements.
I also think that Ministerial roles should be elected ingame with the appropriate choice for mechanics, or scrapped altogether.

Countries should have their own currencies. Companies should be harder to come by so job market has less competition.

Work skill should be reintroduced.

Q1 companies just need to be able to work and employ whilst securing a profit.

Some good points so far.

Our whole economy at the moment is focused on fighting. All resources go into weapons or food for fighting. How about some resources and products used for increasing work skill.

I am all for the fewer companies. Everyone produces too much. Scarcer resources would also bring a little more strategy into things instead of just overwhelming your opponents with gold you can buy. Gold mines maybe?

AC Gold Mines would be great idea, though knowing admins they would cost gold to buy and a lot!

But yeah there is too much produce and it ruins the fun when you can be self sufficient and you dont need to buy supplies, there is no real economy. So even abolishing working in all of your owned companies.

It's fairly difficult for new citizens to get gold to upgrade farms and companies, so you are dependent on handouts from government and MUs for a long time until you get enough awards. The Goldfishing approach seems to work (is it the Bot buying currency that fuels it?) but that is rather artificial. Maybe some system of training (?university) with qualifications resulting in company upgrades might be good.

I would think maybe you would have to work in a company for a certain length of time to upgrade it. Invest time and resources instead of just gold you can buy.

What are ekonomics?

Where to begin lol. Couldn't hope to address this question in the comment section : (

I will say this sadly: most of the suggestions so far are things that have deliberately removed from the game. So not much hope of seeing them enacted.

IMO you should fear an upcoming change to econ.
Had they not made the last econ change a few months ago, Ireland would now be an economic terror loose in the world.
I don't like the changes they've made. But I can understand why they made them.

I think that we should have a FAVORED NATION status that Congress can give to a single country and will allow a special tax rate for everything...

A single tax for a friendly country on everything, sounds like a good idea?

i think what will happen is they are going to make a way to reduce the amount of RM's produced to try and start inflation because at the moment the prices are falling and falling only a matter of time before the price of RM's is 0.01. they might do this by making it possible to work in only one of your own companies, this would stop production completely for many people and increase prices by 5 times at least as people struggle to find workers.
