Help:
1) How do I raise my Finance index
2) How do I raise my Employment Index
3) How do I make my income outstrip my expenses? My social security payments are outstripping my income alone.
4) How do I become communist

My offensive/strat index never totalled anywhere near 100, and I still managed to declare war twice, and capture a country once. (Second war still to come).

1) See step 3

2) Get as many people employed as possible. It is impossible to get it to 100%, above 90 is good (and you pay less social security to the remainder). Train people you need for more corps, don't train as many people that you already have heaps of.

3) Reduce social security payments each month till you can afford them. I can easily afford 80% in my main country, my slave is only now making a profit at 20%. Get your companies making more profit (quality upgrades help here - look at the highest profit companies in each field, see and copy how they are running their companies). If you have a large military, reduce it until you can afford such luxuries. Especially strategic/offensive.

4) You need to raise social security, then enter the secret communist code into your country while wearing a red star.

I would like to adress 4. Your country is already mostly socialist. there are few corporations that are non state owned. If you want to make it a completely communist country, my suggestion is to uproot the other corps by heavily taxing corps, yet lowering the amount that state corps give to the governemnt.

However do that only if you can actually manage the economy.
I am doing pretty good, about to get my first over 100BE$ worth corp. You're less exprienced, so I would suggest taking up a corp which is in rather bad shape, worth less than a Billion, and then try to "fix" it, to make a profit, and be worth a bit more. Learn the rules of supply and demand, and step by step come out and demand higher prices to create more profit, whilst constantly upgrading your corps.

I remember a good reading I founf in the Simcountry forums.

http://sim02.simcountry.com/discus/messages/1/1555.html?1038676164

It helped me reducing my debt from 210.00 B to 130.00, and thanks to that now I should have a surplus of 20-30B each year.

Your score will go way down while doing that, but that actually is a good thing, because if your score goes too much up, you may become an interesting country to be declared war against, something you want to avoid for the time being

Also order many quality upgrades, but if you have problems with your unemployment, stop ordering effectivity upgrades, that way your corps will hire more workers.
