My main problem with this strategy seems to be that I avoid anything that even vaguely smells like increasing corruption like a plague. This seems contrary to improving the economy through subsidies (or any other way?)

The Obesotocracy of Treadwellia

It is a cold day in Treadwellia, one when the capital of Piggy Cliff is covered in snow and ice. The Tubbius family doesn't seem to mind the weather, of course, being very well insulated against it, but it did mean that the mall in town was closed, so children did not get to visit Santa today. To make up for this sad fact, His Immensity is talking personally to children over the TubbNet through video calls, merrily mmphing to them while wearing The Suit in His office. No notes need to be taken; His Rotundity knows precisely what every child wants delivered this year well before he or she makes the request, and, to be honest, He has long since had the Elves getting everything ready.

They did have to pause a little in production, though, the other day, when they discovered that His Corpulence, in putting on a bit over two hundred pounds this year, had outgrown His amply cushioned seat in The Sleigh. That had to be fixed, and that fixing meant widening the sled significantly!

You'll have to pick the lesser of the two evils. Many times, the option that increases your economy also increases a particular industry, which may or may not lead to an increase in corruption as well. Like everything else, the sweet spot is in the middle ground.

If you try to squish every little bit of corruption, you'll have to regulate and spend so much in policing everything that your productivity WILL suffer as a result. If you leave businesses a completely unregulated playing field, corruption WILL be so rampant that there will be no profit to be had (except for the uber rich).

Walk between the two extremes, reject the most obvious cases of corruption and pick the seemingly harmless ones and your economy will flourish while keeping those corrupts in check.

Dear leader and little leader un have completed the wooden doll house today. Little leader un painted the guise, including bed rooms and a bath room. This was a project that began Friday night and was completed this afternoon. dear leader recognizes that he was crazy to do this all weekend, but little leader un was pleased and that's all that mattered to dear leader. That and the ice cold beer and no loss of limbs. Cheers.

Also dear leader would like to point out that thumbprint cookies with delicious jam, sprinkled with confectioner's sugar (not bastardized with coconut the worst of all the nuts), and melty in your mouth are the greatest of the Christmas cookies and he will defend their honor to his death. Second place are the peanut blossoms with kisses in the middle. Finally, his own gingerbread cookies (made with citrus and Chinese 5 spice) come in 3rd. He will take no further questions at this time. Beer o clock that it is.

The day dawned grey, cold, and miserable. Great globs of owl and vulture snot rained from the sky. We sank to our knees and wept.

Funny that you'd say "good morning" at the exact time I left home for my night shift at the ICU. Time zones are a curious thing.

Ah, the old Churchilean notion of a bit of corruption to grease the wheels of commerce.

(It is not a simple as to choose between industrial development an corruption, past a certain point if the corruption is high enough the issues seems to behave in relation to corruption different than on the lower side. Some things that should work lowering it by it is on internal logic don't behave so).

In any case is more than possible to have a strong economic and a low corruption. (And in the end is better, less money wasted).

Unfortunately lady glitter sparkles is not feeling well and is unable to come to dear leaders this evening. More beer for him then.

Most certainly. I've never been able to get that combo, but then I have never really tried for it. Many issues that should substantially lower corruption only scratch a few points down, and it seems to go up every single time you subsidize something.

I seem to have stumbled upon the combination by accident? I think it was the temporary foray into communism and back that did it.
