OOC: McMasterdonian economic collapse

Interestingly, Nebula doesn't have a stock market.

Why would we? All big business is government owned.

I'm not sure whether I should get involved. This wouldn't have an adverse affect on my economy; we'd lower taxes and use our enormous governmental surplus (like, we only use 70-80% of our budget) to stop banks going into collapse. However, I could give economic aid to the affected countries, and maybe give corporations a cash incentive to move into McMasterdonia, to increase employment. My only problem is, I'm not exactly sure how to write something like this; I'm going to need help.

I hate to be that guy, but budget surpluses are actually bad for the private sector. In addition, only using 80% of your budget means that the other 20% is waste - unable to be invested in either the public or private sector.

Oh, okay. So, time to edit the budget I'd made.

However, a small amount of the money comes from state-owned businesses; the ones created and run by the royal family. Since they actually own a multitude of companies, of which supplements their income (so the monarchy is not funded by tax, and even has a profit). With that profit (which comes under government earnings (e.g. tax, VAT)), it creates a small surplus (£21 billion. A lot of oil/mineral companies, along with other miscellaneous, yet high earning stores are run by the royal family. However, the monarchy do not control each sector; there is a healthy amount of competition, especially since the monarchy control 0.0001% of the 5.9 million Xentheridan businesses).

The intended point of the surplus, before you pointed out the flaws, was "storage in case of emergency". Should any economic issue crop up, this extra money was to be poured in to the failing businesses (mainly banks) and to be given as economic aid to other nations.

One more thing. The Forbes thing didn't introduce foreign countries, of which multinational corporations could draw their money from. So, with that factor, would the government still be able to have a surplus, while the corporations have a profit?
 
Apparently some people are worried because they don't understand economics too much. Don't worry about it, just try to get involved and have some fun. This will be more interesting the more nations that are involved.
 
Do trade blocs tend to slow or speed up a collapse? Because I've been looking around and I've found information both ways.
