State builds a factory and buys raw material. The end product is exported (or sold to domestic pops, doesn't matter in game terms) and that income is given to pops. State taxes that income, so it is divided between state and people.

So if POP's buy stuff on the WM, then you don't ever have to worry about keeping your country's stock of consumer goods replenished???? Let the poor POP's look out for themselves on a fierce WM??? They would never be out of stock then? Well, except when the world is out of stock of some item...
This explanation does look weird...
Patric!!!! Where are you!!!! Shed some light on this topic!!!!!

The money all goes to paying the wages of the employees, if I understand correctly, and the profit that the state makes comes from taxing it.
The poor POPs don't have to look out for themselves if you help them out with subsidies.
Correct, there is no need to stockpile consumer goods for pop consumption. But remember that most of them are needed to upgrade pops or build something.
Subsidies aren't necessarily needed, if taxes are low enough or overall income high enough.
Good job in explaining.
I would also add this was the hardest thing for me to learn in the beta. Hoarding goods that are needed by your POPS is a very bad idea when those goods are in short supply on the world market. They may become too expensive for your POPS to purchase, or even worse, completely unavailable, making your POPS unhappy.
For me the economic side of the game is the most engrossing and the colonization and military parts of the game are just the icing on the cake.
