I cant get a planned economy to work

[Tesco Worker]

What should I not do with a planned economy?
Is nationalising bad for one? I have done full nationalisation for both companies and arrested their owners with the SSP after, is this causing my economy to tank?
What about the taxes, I have been raising the ones on big companies and lowering them on small companies, is this bad?
Also is the EPA better off with higher restrictions on a planned economy? I have been putting it at 49 mainly.
What about funding the departments as well, I struggle to fund more than one without going far into the negative. Can I reduce educations funding?
I get the trade deals too and the financial aid from Arcasia.
Am I better off going for or ignoring the railway/highway project?
I cant seem to play this game without a guide. I get to the meeting about the economy and am always told we are in a depression with high unemployment and no consumers or something.

From a political standpoint, nationalizing and implementing planned economic policies can lead to a detrimental and potentially unstable economy, similar to the Soviet Union's model. If a nationalist approach is desired, opting for a free-market system and embracing capitalism would be more advisable. This can involve reducing taxes for large corporations while increasing taxes for smaller ones to maintain economic equilibrium. Investing in Gasom alone, setting the EPA at 49, sell 2/3 of Gasom shares, and selling/privatizing Nadem and SSC while ensuring a balanced share distribution with Tusk and Marcel during negotiations can further bolster economic stability. Additionally, vetoing bills like green, prioritizing the construction of L1 railway, and ramping up production in regions like Corniat can stimulate economic growth. don't invest in any other regions and control your government budget, maintain healthcare and decrease education and many more things. Implementing these measures comprehensively by the end of the game can lead to a significant boost in the economy and a reduction in unemployment rates

And also accept Arcasia aids

Thankyou for the reply. I was just wondering so a planned economy and nationalisation is a bad thing for the economy? Its just because the top rated guide on the steam page says that a planned economy relies on nationalisation so I was struggling to find out what I was doing wrong.

It depends on different approaches, even a free economy can go south if the approaches are not correct, if you want to go nationalizing and planned economy path, do everything I said but instead of privatizing, nationalize the companies and arrest the oligarchs, take their deals too, you can always backstab them later

I'll answer your question without thinking on the repercussions on the game. Your definition and guide isn't wrong. Devdevil was answering your question with consequences in the game perhaps.

Planned aconomy = morr government control. Capitalism = invisible hand/let free market dictate it. Government having more control on a company = planned economy.

Planned economy = nationalisation

Raising taxes on big ones and lowering taxes on small ones would generate less employment but would increase self-employment. It's distribution of wealth if you will. Obviously, budgets would be sigbuficant the larger the market share of a business is. Generally speaking, more taxes means more for government, means more money to nationalize services.

Having other companies or private interest regardless of their citizenship owning shares is privitisation. Generally speaking, the more % of shares government owns, the more nationalized a company is.

Getting trade deals from arcadia which is known capitalist country isn't getting symphaties from planned economists/communists.

Infrastructure projects are one way planned economy put their money on since govenrnment spending = hiring more people and to offset the taxes you did above. Hiring government company is also planned economy.

Gamewise and in the real world, regardless if your stance is planned economy and privitisation, corruption is your enemy. There is nothing wrong with planned economy, refuting what Devdevil said, but the latter parts of USSR's economy had been riddled with corruption that put a dent on their system. Likewise with hyper capitalist world (USA is a mixed economy/interventionist) where there is no government intervention, corruption would take place on inequality with the lowest classes as wage slaves, not earning enough for a liveable wage (which is also USA atm). USA's current predicament is the corruption of big corporation/private interest through lobbying and elector donors. Play plutocracy to have an idea.

Gamewise economically, your battle is against corruption from both sollist regime and oligarchs. Sollist regime has handa on every government machine. Politically (constitutional amendments), your biggest hurdle is against the sollist faction and they tend to favor nationalisation since they get money being the government themselves.

The game is a balancing act politically and economically to win re-election at the end.
