Political online game and economic simulation

My state:http://www.ars-regendi.com/rid83117/state/144310 is doiing pretty good. I have a nice trade surplus. And a nice budget surplus. But, Im thinking about have flat income tax reform, increasing tarrif by MAX, increasing money supply by MAX, and lowering excise taxes and aqquistion taxes by a reasonable amount to increase economic growth even more. But, doing all that can I keep my budget surplus with the mutpilyer affect?

In reality, you couldn't do that without a budget deficit. The budget deficit equals the net savings of the private sector in a given year. All the transactions inside the private sector net to 0. Every surplus has a corresponding deficit, every credit a debit, every liability an asset, every income a payment. The only way the economy can grow during the course of the business cycle is via vertical transaction - i.e. government deficit.
Look here:


In Ars-Regendi though, so long as your economy grows faster than your accumulated debt, you have nothing to worry about. When the debt to GDP ratio hits 300%, that causes your regent to become highly unpopular, regardless of the awesome economic and social stats you may achieve. So long as you avoid such a high figure, you should be fine. Don't be afraid to experiment.

Thank you for that helpful information. One more question, how do you get classified as a superpower? And how do you think my state is doing?

How, do you lower the GNI or income equality to like almost zero with expolisve economic growth.

Do actions that may lower the living cost and/or increase the net income. Increase pensions and welfare, keep excise taxes at a decent level, etc.

Thanks..., You, shoul check out my state. How do youbhave low inflation, and high exports? Can anyone rate my economy? And how do I launch military actions with a basic account, not preium.

Reforms like negative income tax, anarchosyndicalism, and Universal health care also help. But you achieve it more efficiently via task options.

How does Universal healthcare affect my economy?

It lowers income taxes and cost of living, as I recall.
