The problem is that you don't really understand yet how to balance the budget, and starting with a small uncivilized country only makes it 10 times harder. If you're going to try it, at least pick something like China/Japan/Egypt (it will still be hard).

But yes the budget will go down and it can be hard to balance. What you need to do first is research Freedom of Trade, and just hang in there until that finishes. Avoid war, spend as little on stockpile slider as possible, and pay your admin/education as much as you can.

Once Freedom of Trade is researched it will boost your revenues incredibly and you should be able to do okay with the budget from that point on.

This sorta stuff should be in the tutorial, or tooltips, or somewhere in-game. Good tips, may give Nippon a second shot.

I tend to take a loan to cover costs until I have researched Freedom of Trade. Of course, tariffs and taxes are also high, military slider low (depending on the unciv), though education and administration I try and keep as high as I can. Once FoT is researched I begin paying back my loan with my healthy budget before setting the sliders to more sustainable levels.

well, thanks you all! i've success now, but how can i get CB on other countries? i want to expand and civilized, but each annex is 20 badboy points, so i can only annex one country..
You can gain CBs via some events, or if you end up in the right kind of position to gain some specific ones (e.g. acquire core state).
