What does having negative points in manufacturing mean?

Postby Fanosolia » Fri Jan 23, 2015 9:33 am

So I'm big on trying to diversify my industry as much as possible. Though its big I'm curious about a few rankings that are low in my nation. and by low, I mean in the negatives. These are arms and automobile manufacturing industry and the general manufacturing sector.

My question is: if my manufacturing sector is in the negative does that mean my economy is more focused on raw resources despite having a good information technology, or other industry that has some sort of manufacturing involved some how. Does that mean I'm outsourcing say, the cans for my beverage sales? or is all that up to interpretation?

If anyone can answer this question that would be great.

I think it means not only do you not have a manufacturing sector in your nation, but in some way your nation is opposed to it. I think the exact way you look at it can be up to you, but ya, raw resources based economy and importing seem likely to me. Information technology doesn't have to be manufacturing by the way. My dad works for an IT company and they are focused on programming and service, as I assume most IT companies are.

In fact, it's not tracked, but I have a feeling you have a moderately strong service sector too, just manufacturing that your nation seems opposed to.

Oh I thought part of IT would involve making computers/parts. woops :blush:. It's sort of easy for my nation to seem opposed to them since most of the manufacturing related issues involve giving subsides to the manufacturer which never seemed wise to me as personal feeling (though it seems hard not to give subsides, in terms of what the issues indicate as life-support, to industries in general I find). Plus manufacturing only ever seems in nationstates to include arms and automobiles, not something like electronics, or textiles. It just seems weird that I ended up on focusing on agriculture and services, and say forget factories (minus drinks, and possibly Furniture(?)) we can just import that stuff. :p

If you can ever think of a good issue that would involve manufacturing without being about subsides feel free to write it. The greater variety of issues we have the better!

Good point. I mean I'm some might, it just less obvious. If think of one that's not too similar to the other issues, I will.

Anyways thanks for the info. :)
