I'm actually thinking oil to sustain the indies on a fascist country. the main differences being there would be no military being sold, and if oil is sold at a high enough price, it could also be used to stockpile. very few farms needed to offset the need for bushels. -- low acreage 12.5k max

Food (Fascist):

(((Farms * 5.3) + (Unused Acres * 0.4)) * GovFoodBonus * AgriTech) * (MarkePprice - (MarketPrice - Tax)) = per acre

(((1*5.3)+(0*0.04))*1.15*2.2)*(35-(35*0.06)) = 441.1561

13.409 Units Per Acre

35 --- 441.1561

Fascist Oil:

((OilRigs * 2) * GovOilBonus * Tech ) * (marketprice - (marketprice *Tax)) = per acre

=((1*2)*1.75*1)*(100-(100*0.06))= 329

Fascist Indy

((Indies * 1.86) * GovIndyBonus * IndyTech) * (marketprice - (marketprice - Tax)) = per acre

((1*1.86)*1*1.5)*(100-(100*0.06))= 262.26

2.79 Units Per Acre

100 --- 262.26
105 --- 275.373

115 --- 301.599
120 --- 314.712

195 --- 511.407
200 --- 524.52
205 --- 537.633

However it is not how much can be sold but how much can be made on some other commodity in order to keep what was produced by the indies.

production*acres*net = Net Per Turn
(Net Per Turn * Turns Remaining) = Net Per Acre

2.79 * 1 * 0.6 = 1.674 Net Per Acre Per Turn
1.674 * 1000 = 1,674 Net Per 1k turns

Acres --- Net Gained
1,000 --- 1,674,000
1,500 --- 2,511,000
2,000 --- 3,348,000
2,500 --- 4,185,000
3,000 --- 5,022,000
3,500 --- 5,859,000
4,000 --- 6,696,000
4,500 --- 7,533,000
5,000 --- 8,370,000
5,500 --- 9,207,000

----------------------------------

The reasons behind saying it is what is kept that matters, vs. what is sold or how much it is sold for is being derived from looking at the commie indie numbers.

Commie Indy

((Indies * 1.86) * GovIndyBonus * IndyTech) * (marketprice - (marketprice - Tax)) = per acre

3.7665 Units

=((1*1.86)*1.35*1.5)*(100-(100*0.1)) = 338.985

100 --- 338.985
105 --- 355.93425
110 --- 372.8835 <<--- $ 30 Bushels
115 --- 389.83275 <<--- $ 120 Oil
120 --- 406.782
125 --- 423.73125 <<--- $ 130 Oil
130 --- 440.6805 <<--- $ 35 Bushels
135 --- 457.62975 <<--- $ 140 Oil
140 --- 474.579
145 --- 491.52825 <<--- $ 150 Oil
150 --- 508.4775 <<--- $ 40 Bushels
155 --- 525.42675 <<--- $ 160 Oil
160 --- 542.376
165 --- 559.32525 <<--- $ 170 Oil
170 --- 576.2745 <<--- $ 45 Bushels
175 --- 593.22375 <<--- $ 180 Oil
180 --- 610.173
185 --- 627.12225 <<--- $ 50 Bushels
190 --- 644.0715
195 --- 661.02075 <<--- $ 200 Oil
200 --- 677.97
205 --- 694.91925 <<--- $ 55 Bushels

Bushels at 40-45 is common, but turrets at $150-$170 not as common. So something else is driving the Commie's Net Gain.

Especially when a commie is pulling 30% more net:
while sustaining much higher military expenses and having to buy bushels. If they are stocking bushels it is an even bigger hit with the taxes during stock - destock phases.

I am thinking the net has to be coming from what they can keep... am I reading the numbers correctly ?

I keep asking myself what the heck am I missing when looking at these numbers? Is the interpretation correct or what is the missing ingredient that I am not seeing?
