Figuring Your GDP

[Federal Republic of Slavia]

1.) Base and Expansion

Each country starts out at $125 million, and certain factors may increase or decrease this base of GDP.

GAIN:

+ Every addition of 15 million people from your base population adds $5 million
+ Any addition of land from any country raises your GDP $1,000,000 per deal, war or cease-fire
+ Any sort of economic or government reform may raise your GDP between $500,000 - $2 million depending on the circumstances.
+ Trade deals raise your country's GDP by $1,000,000 per country; free trade deals raise your country's GDP by $2,000,000 per country [Please note that if a country has a trade AND free trade deal with you, the free trade deal will override the trade deal]
+ More than 25 ports will raise your country's GDP by $2,000,000
+ Every 6 months [game time] gains your country $5 million and will accumulate. For example, at 12 months, your country gains $10 million, $15 million at 18 months, etc...
+ At 1st Week of January, money spent on projects will be refunded to normal if any projects have ended

LOSS:

- Any loss of land from any country lowers your GDP by $1,000,000 per country that takes land
- Any rebellion of people in your current zones causes a loss of $200,000 - $1,000,000 depending on the amount of people rebelling or the amount of land involved
- An embargo or blockade of sea ports or sea cities results in a loss of roughly $2,000,000 per port or $2,000,000 per country that embargoes
- Warfare with another country results in a loss of roughly $5,000,000 per country declared upon and can only be recovered after 8 months of recooperation
- Training of 15,000 men and/or building of 15,000 small arms costs $1,000,000 [Doing both at once means 2 for 1]
- Building land equipment costs $1,000,000 per every 500 equipment pieces [Artillery, Mortars, Etc...]



Please note that these gains and losses may be edited to add more conditions.

3.) Cause + Effects; Resets and Accumulative

Cause and Effect: One must understand that low funding of certain projects will lead to corruption or even worse abandonment. For instance, low funding of rail-lines, transportation and other stuff like that may result in workers going on strike or for them to riot at work stations. If I were to limit funding on my growing military, some and many may abandon when the need should arise or may abandon and go on strike until they recieve fair wages. If you invest more money in regional governments, you will most likely recieve more men patriotic enough to join your military that weren't before, most noticable in your colonies.

Resets: Once a project ends on a certain date, you do not recieve the funds that the project gives back until the 1st Week of January of the next year. For example, I owe Germany $6,000,000 for purchasing a colony or buying weapons. I plan to have this completed by August of 1919. When August of 1919 rolls around, the entire of the $6,000,000 is finally transferred. Then, in January of 1920, I would recieve back the $6,000,000 I spent and it would be added to my total GDP.

Accumulatives: Everything positive and everything negative on your GDP list that has no ending date remains on. Funding and money projects can be edited, but if you plan to decrease funding on a certain project or category, you must follow the "Reset" rule.

4.) Custom Programs

Any high-scale custom program, such as the Russian railroad, Slavia's Plan I, or a mass construction of factories [not just 1 or 2 to produce arms in a certain region, I'm talking about like a large 1 - 2 year program to put a lot of factories in a region or something] results in a gain of 2,000,000 to 10,000,000 dollars, depending on its effects and the scale of its effectiveness, to your country.

[British Empire]

Does the CUC raise the GDP? Because if I remember the charter has Free Trade between members, which raises all of ours quite a bit.

Also, I think $125 Million is a bit low for a nation's economy to be worth, even when you convert 2006 Dollars to 1914 Dollars.

[Republic of France]

Should of said this here. Shouldnt we take into account products that the country makes? Like France is the only country that makes champagne but it also makes lots of wine and cheese and other things.

[Federal Republic of Slavia]

That's where special programs comes in. Also, Britain, we're using common currency.

[Republic of France]

By Specail you mean custom right? So I would get what. Another $3,000,000- $5,000,000

[Federal Republic of Slavia]

Have you instated a large program that allows mass production of cheese, champagne, agriculture and goods? No.

[British Empire]

This seems more like a Government Budget than a Gross Domestic Product... Whatever. I'll fill mine out in a second.

[Federal Republic of Slavia]

I thought that too but too many people have put in the threads that I'm not gonna change it.

[Republic of France]

It said on the Economic Central thing

"Your countries economy and the natural resources and current GDP it currently has"

So does that mean we can post our natural resources soon?

[Federal Republic of Slavia]

Natural resources are only there for trade deals and stuff you want to do with other nations, it does nothing to effect your GDP.

[British Empire]

Well I'm going to post it as a Budget, because my GDP is one of, if not the highest in the world right now.

What is a base populstion? Do colonies count?
