@MurtoxYour post is currently close to unacceptable. Literacy rates and economic growth are things I will judge.
@BastoneYour post is currently unacceptable. You are planning to connect your entire country by railway, construct masses of factories and industry, build a string of forts/defenses, lots of new schools, a new university and construct 9 new warships...no nation can even try and undertake a task like that straight away and at once. Further more you havent actually described what projects you will do to 'increase jobs and businesses'. Those are details I need. Yearly recruitment is down to me, and each nations yearly recruitment will be updated by me once a year in the winter. You also say this will all cost 7.5 billion thrones...your GDP is not your yearly profit. It's your production, you produce a lot and have a lot of money. But even so you cannot do everything you have described and it will cost a hell of a lot more than 7.5 billion anything.
To be clear too Murtox and Bastone...your posts are not orders, they are your countries...I want to see you pass legislation, have political bickerings and begin projects (Which you have done) and this is not a game. Make a story in your countries.
In regards to economy I am not doing costs. GDP is simply there for me to help work out economy strength. Use the description of how strong it is and use logic. I cannot hold your hands with this since I don't have time. Your economy is weak? You will not be constructing much anytime soon, maybe a small ship and some investment. Your economy is very strong? Maybe a couple of ships, infrastructure investment and some industrial investments. I do not takeaway upkeep from GDP, so you are also paying for that. If you want to do loads in one year...I will probably throw you into debt...GDP the same but you will be informed of a deficit that needs fighting soon.
