Power & Revolution 2023 - Basic Gameplay Tutorial Part 1

in theory you can steer trade away from your enemies by making big deals with your allies. saves money compared to adjusting tariffs. what i do when starting is plan meetings to buy the biggest trade deficits for unfinished goods and sell excesses for finished goods. just to decrease inflation and raise funds. to get partners to agree to a favourable deal it's convenient to just remove all tariffs before the meeting and raise them back afterwards. all of this before even touching gov funding or laws because changes may decrease relations. you also get to see what the current funding is doing to stats since it has time to update.

The first thing I do is make meetings with my army general and intel director. Then sort out spy plans. Then look at the economy and see what I need to fix 😅

I personally like to keep Water Supply Networks nationalized since all your mining and agriculture depends on it, that way I can adjust the manpower directly.

That's what's good about the game there are multiple ways to play it.

I lost my P&R files on my Cpu. I could redo it but Geopolitical Simulator 5 comes out this week.

Can you explain each debts? I don't understand PUBLIC DEBT, STRUCTURAL DEBT and such. I tried to look for definition in Google but I got more confused. If you could explain the basic terminologies, would really appreciate it a lot.

[@tony46546]

I'm not 100% on structural debt. Public debt is the money owed to different countries and banks your country borrowed from.

I have trouble understanding trimestrial surplus in this edition of the game (I previously played 2019). Like here you got a budget deficit yet you have a huge surplus projected. In my game with Vietnam, I’m about 30G$ budget surplus, 10G$ structural surplus but I still get around one to two billion of trimestrial loans. What do I need to do to get trimestrial surplus money? Stop developing infrastructures? Levy more taxes?

[@TheSkyGuy77]

The projection isn't correct. It's a prediction of current trends. And if you're spending on a surplus without a treasury reserve, you'll borrow money. Surplus just means that on the next quarter you'll get more of a reserve.

Great video! Been waiting for a series like this. Just a quick question, though: how did you not get kicked from the WTO when adjusting tariffs? Everytime i try to do it i get kicked out. I remember reading somewhere that you could max out tariffs at 20 percent overall but i dont know what i am doing wrong. Been a little while since I last played, so this series should get me back up and running!

[@tony46546]

For tariffs I believe it depends on the country and the current agreement with that country. If you break a free trade agreement they file a complaint with the WTO. That also happens if you get too carried away with the tariffs. I'm not 100% on what the standard is.

[@RevReese]

@tony46546 Thanks for your reply! That makes sense though I dont remember signing any trade agreements with these countries, I will have to do a bit more testing I think and see if I can find out where those limits are and how they change when playing as different countries.

does leaving the schengen area as an EU country ruin your economy? As sweden I play an extreme right party heavy on anti-immigration laws and i got to 100% popularity within weeks because of passing a lot of immigration reforms, my economy was doing good, my deficet was going down, inflation and unemployment was going down, economy at 1-2% growth, restarted the nationalized wine sector, then all of a sudden i left the schengen area, had a few riots, and my unemployment shot to 10%, growth rate is now -2%, deficet went down by 0.50%, what all happened?
