I have recently received an offer to emigrate to a private country. It looked marvelous, judge for yourself: “In the [private country] we have many regions and we are going to pay all citizens a productivity bonus, we have increased workbonus and we pay 0.16g/hour”.
Well, it’s not safe to trust everything without verifying, so I have done some digging about that country. It was based on wars and had indeed several regions.
But I noticed an important detail: that country’s economy was based on upgrade 0 companies.
So what? you’ll say. Well, in fact it’s a big deal! One country owner can't sustain too long all those promises in these conditions. A clay feet colossus won't walk far. There is no future at upgrade zero because our game is no longer young. Although country’s present condition may look like a nova, such kind of stars have a short existence until they become white dwarfs stars that cannot sustain life in their planetary systems.
So what has someone to have in mind before auctioning for a private country?
1) INITIAL INVESTMENTS to cover the 3 major necessities:
- winning the auction
- opening companies at upgrade 8 (all resources companies and all the succeeding companies from the food chain)
- ensuring homes for your citizens (buy some houses and castles)
2) ATTRACT WORKERS
- open Workers Organization with free 20% productivity bonus and set its rules according to your goals (it's your responsibility to bring in the money for buying the productivity bonus, so plan this investment from the very beginning)
- post a worldwide shout that your country is looking for workers
- ensure good work bonus to show that constant work brings therm higher income
- it's at your choice to either balance the earnings between work & workbonus or offer minimum wages but the possibility to be paid by bank if people reach their target (e.g. 2 extra-gold by bank for every work bonus)
- rent houses to citizens at affordable prices by using discounts for organization members
- build a home shelter for the beginners without rental resources
- ensure cheap food to your citizens by using discounts for organization members
- do not allow citizens to clean trash - this is the prerogative of the Prime Minister
- invite your workers to use your Discord channel
3) FURTHER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
- allow citizens to open the missing companies from the portfolio (except resources).
- ensure affordable prices of raw materials for the country's companies (you cannot do this if your resources companies don't have upgrade 8).
- the most part of the tranzactions involved in country's production should be by bank to ensure lower prices on market that make possible low production costs. This will be beneficial to all manufacturers and bank owners. The volume of bank transactions will cover the decrease of collected wage-taxes from the manufacturers.
4) ATTRACT WARRIORS
- open Warriors Organization
- set the rules and bonuses according to your goals
- post a worldwide shout that your country is looking for warriors
- ensure to the members high discounts on meals, clothes, healing materials, renting and weapons
- invite your warriors to use your Discord channel
5) START WARS
- set up a strong army: enough warriors with good equipped capacity
- try not to select random wars regularly - any war may be negociated first!
- choose good resources region to attack
- use Discord to communicate
6) OPEN LOOKOUT POSTS
- look around to see if your country has enough citizens to sustain one lookout post - check if your finances cover the costs of a lookout post
- select 1 region with interesting resources to open your first lookout post
- set wages about 1g for lookout post
- inform your citizens about the possibility to make extra-money by working in the lookout post
- activate some other working places in the lookout post region to attract stable citizens there (mainly in resources) - open another lookout post only if you're sure that your finances and the number of workers allow it
- keep in mind that the difficulty to sustain lookout posts increases with their number
7) EXPLOIT ALL REGIONS
- set up public transportation
- make profit by activating local workplaces for resources
- encourage your workers to travel in regions to harvest resources
- sell the region if your finances doesn't allow resources exploitation (selling is also a good source of profit)
ENJOY HAVING A SUCCESSFULL PRIVATE COUNTRY !

Interesting, the problem is to defend this country in wars, it needs a complex and functional economy.
