It is very funny. I am always told to keep military spending below $1 Million. Told is the wrong word, I am recommended. I follow this scrupulously, but spend $7 Million on training of the military, which the game does not advice on. My handling of the economy, and the military is first rate, according to my ratings in comparison to other nations. I am within the first three nations in both. In an earlier game, I was totally economically in dire straits. I was producing nothing, the nation was only making sales, and I had a huge deficit. But, I did not issue bonds at all, and the game liked the way I managed my economy. The people were 'satisfied', but my approval rating was only 10%. In the current game, my approval rating is rising, among the people.
