The peaceful years
The war is over, it's time to move on....
Unfortunately, industralisation is proving a problem.
This the artisans reasons to promote to be capitalists. To give you a quick parse of those numbers, I am losing two percent due to there being no factories and it not being an accepted culture pop (Mexican is primary culture, there are none accepted). I obviously can't solve the no factories problem until I get some capis, and there are no Mexican pops with enough literacy to actually make an improvement.
So, basically, I can't promote artisans to capis, right? Actually no, I just can't do it without an NF. My NF then becomes available, after Colorado joins our great country. About time too.
Oh, and apparrently the US wants to make friends again.
The CB gods, have other ideas, of course. Why wouldn't they?
Unfortunately, the truce is still going on, and the situation hasn't really changed the much since I WPed out.
Well, except loads of people want to ally with me.
I accept, because why not?
And ooh, politics has arrived in Mexico...
Partido Conservador are the ruling party, and no doubt will be hoping to retain that. Will they?
Yes. Without the State Capitalist party getting a seat. Oh well.
What's this random pic here, I hear you ask? That's my very bad attempt at showing that the US have colonized Colorado. Sorry.
Still, here's some good news for me, here.....
Figured I might as well get the boost.
For people who were wondering, here's my budget. Remember this was in the red earlier? A lot has changed.
As you can see, no body in Mexico is starving, education and military spending are at 100%, tariffs are at zero, and I am still bringing in a whacking great surplus of £71 pounds a day! That's nearly £26,000 a year! Quite a turnaround. Just shows the effect of Freedom of Trade, I suppose. Well, and gold, which is bringing in £60 of that £70 a day.
In addition, my industry is starting to grow too....
There was a brief period where this started losing money due to an oversupply of cement, but for some reason that stopped after all of two weeks, and now it's a goodly-sized surplus. Strange.
Anyhow, my education system becomes more efficient.
The clergy will like this, I'm sure.
Now everything's going fine, the title's appropriate, and then suddenly.....
Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear oh dear.
