You can't build a thriving nation on well wishes and good intentions alone. You're the President, of course, but cash is king. Here's some expert advice on how to keep Basenji's economy moving.
How to get that coin
1. There is absolutely no harm in importing goods. You don't pay for them, your citizens do. You don't need to find a sweet bauxite deposit to justify a smelter -- you can import the bauxite, smelt it at home, and export the aluminum for a small profit.
2. Food will earn a little bit of revenue, processed food a lot of revenue, but household goods, consumer electronics and luxury goods can be lucrative. Even if you don't have a domestic demand for these products (yet), they make for great exports. Just keep your country relations as strong as possible when you sign the dotted line so you can export a greater quantity of those goods.
3. Players often neglect the tourist industry, but there's very little risk to setting up a nice hotel in an attractive coastal region and keeping an airport nearby, especially if you have Minister Roumi.
4. It can be easy to find yourself in a place where you just need a little boost to get you where you need to be. There are three ways to receive immediate income to your treasury without needing to patiently grow your economy or build a tourism empire:
- 4a. Introduce a Minister to a Lobbyist
Select a Minister-occupied Ministry with whom you have at least one favor. Underneath that Minister's portrait you have the option to exchange that favor for either $80 or 15 Intelligence.
4b. Exploit an Asset
Construct an Intelligence Agency and spend 8 Intelligence for a 50% chance of earning $20. Intelligence has better uses, but this can help if you have a lot to spare.
4c. Take Out A Loan
If you have a Minister of Finance, you can take out a loan from the Budget menu.
5. Do you REALLY need socialized healthcare or great education? The cost of per-citizen expenses increases as your country grows over time.
6. Are you underproducing goods? Make sure you have a Facilities Inspector keeping things running smoothly between all your production buildings. It pays to keep those production buildings relatively close to each other to reduce the number of those inspectors you need.
