Is there a way to repay debts?

Can you help me out?

Try Cutting expensies and increase income or somting to get a surplus soon ur debt will end after some years but you will get more income because of no interest costs and ur government will not go into economic failure...

kind of a bump but since this forum is basically dead it doesn't matter.

what i believe is a good thing to do, if you have an extreme deficit make healthcare and education around the middle of the spectrum, cut foreign aid very low, and unless you're deadly focused on war cut spending on research. another thing is that if you increase tourism, it helps you in the long run.

i find the best thing to do is, right from the start increase income tax to about 80%, then eliminate all trade taxes(except for the services, i usually set them at 5%). Then i fund nothing but tourism for the first three years, by then i've got a good surplus, money in the bank, and can fund what i need to in time for the first election. After that election, i drop all my funding again, and dump all the money into industries, and slowly work them up til all my domestic needs are met, and by then i can fund all branches of the government, full time. also i keep my interest rate at 0% this whole time, inflation doesn't affect me til i actually have a decent running economy anyway.

I'm having heck with mu inflation rate. It likes to stay above 5% no matter what I do.

Any idea's?

5% isn't that bad.

As far as debt goes: the game pays a fixed amount (IIRC, 10% of your debt) every time and you can't change that. The only way to make sure it gets payed is by making sure you're in the green. Cut the unimportant sectors (yes, that includes research!) until you make a profit and get your economy up. If possible, leave Infrastructure, Environment and education in the middle (or higher). If you want to keep your relations with the world stable, don't cut your Foreign Aid too much. Always keep your government and tourism at least in the middle, unless you really can't afford it. Government battles corruption (which can drain a lot of your profits) and tourism can add a significant bonus.

there is an another way,
example

you have Germany, ande United States do War with Iraq, take all your units and go in iraq, than take the political and military control of the region, you must do ist with all the regions of iraq,

if you have all the regions than don t exist the nation iraq :) but you have it, than you can sell all the new regions iran or other countries with much money,

so you can do 1 - 5 billions of dollar extra...
