The Latao Commerce Society is a group of leading economy representatives from banks, insurance corporations, pharma, electronics and other companies, as well as high politicians of Latao.
We're pronounced to present our rating of the top 5 industrial countries in Atlantian Oceania and how we see their chances in a globalized market environment.
Factors for our rating are political criterias such as how business-friendly a nation's policy is and real-economy criterias, such as tax rates and the average income of people.
Please note, that our report is not the official meanign of the Confederafy of Latao or its officials and its recommendations are pure thoughts, based on real economic facts.
The Latao Commerce Society invites all nations to discuss our rating and our recommendations.
1. The Capitalizt Protectorate of New Manhattan
New Manhattan is the powerhouse of Atlantian Oceania since ages. Its inrecrible GDP per capita of $45,017.30 per year is un-reached by other countries. We also appreciate the excellent civil rights, but we do however see the need to enhance the political freedoms in the country. The fact, that no income tax has to be paid is a great base for international investments. The huge trade deficit of $1,418,482,601,706.36 is simply a disaster. We recommend a drammatically money-save programme for New Manhattan, before this large sum starts to bring the country into serious trouble. The low unemployment rate of 4.83 % is however a good result for such a large country.
2. The Confederacy of Latao
Latao is known as one of the big global players in Atlantian Oceania for a long time, but could never leave the second place and take over leading. Since Latao, still is a relatively small nation, its size might be the limit that prevents it from being on top. However, Latao brings a great and efficient economic landscape to its international investors. The GDP per capita of $44,183.87 is a great result for such a small country and actually the second-highest in the region. The fact, that there is no duty to pay income tax rates brings lots of capital from people from all over the world to the country. Latao should however try to bring more stability into its politics. Latao's large trade deficit of $594,987,916,236.61 is an old problem, the state's household must finally save more money. However the the small unemployment rate of 4.56 % is acceptable in the medium range.
3. The Democratic States of Coketown
Coketown is yet a small but quickly developing industrial nation in which we see great chances in becoming one of the big players in Atlantian Oceania. The GDP per capita of $38,263.56 per year is notable high compared to country's size and a serious competitor for the established giants. The flat income tax rate of 15 % is fair and required to develop the country, but should be lowered in the future, not to scare off investors. We do however see the need to improve civil rights and political freedoms in the country. The medium trade deficit of $339,550,973,262.15 is a reason to start saving state money, but the extremely low unemployment rate of only 3.12 % is great.
4. The Empire of Nova Roma
Nova Roma is a small nation for which we expect a great future. The GDP per capita of $36,267.77 per year is a great value for such a small country. We would recommend not to enhance the social-welfare-state, as it already reached a comfortable high level. The flat income tax rate of 29 % is on the upper limited but acceptable. Notable is the world benchmark-level of civil rights, but the political freedoms are quite limited in the nation. The tiny trade deficity of $24,941,285,230.65 isn't a problem that the extreme low unemployment rate of only 3.2 % couldn't recover.
5. The Empire of Nojika
Although the dictatoric-like regime of Nojika migth scare off many investors and the lack of political freedoms is a risk for stability and economy, Nojika succeeded in building a notable good industrial environment. The GDP of $25,772.79 doesn't make Nojika to a global player, but is a useful basis to reach more. An average income tax rate of 34 % is on the upper limit, but acceptable. The trade surplus of $119,845,535,188.07 and the low unemployment rate of 6.48% tell, that the dictatorship obviously work, however we recommend to keep and accelarate the business friendly reformations in Nojika. |

I would recommned limiting your observations to nations who are actually active, whether within the region or otherwise. This would discount New Manhattan (a colony of Commerce Heights when the trend was for #sport IRC channel participants to have AO puppets for the AOCAF) and Coketown (whoever they are).
Other than that, we welcome and applaud such a detailed examination of our Region's economic situation.

The Free Republic would not be adverse to seeing this same kind of economic analysis covering all of the currently active nations in AO.

This would mean two things:
The Confederacy of Latao is the strongest powerhouse in the region and the richest country :-)
Second, New Manhatten seems to be a special economy project, such as Hong Kong, where governments 'try out' things like extreme capitalism. If so, the Confederacy of Latao is interessted in investing in this area to enhance its local economy & industry. Our state will present an offer to take over a stock majority of 60 %, we pay cash :-)

Well, for this, the Latao Commerce Society needs an official list of who is active and who is not. The creation of such a detailed study on all countries migth take us a while |

Latao also has the most non-flag like flag in the region. So?
Don't tell us about it, TG Commerce Heights. |

This has two possible reasons:
- Latao is a pretty self-confident nation regarding its ancient roots and its own style
- The State-Founder has no idea how to create a good flag :-) |

My GDP is 115 trillion, while yours is 54 trillion.
I have a trade surplus of 1 trillion, you have a deficit of over half a trillion.
Depends on what you look at as strength of economy really, I take all the money from my people, they don't need it anyway. With ALL this cash at the hands of my government, we are much more POWERFUL economically, if you look at it that way.
Your people have more money in their pockets, but they spend most of it on their leisure and cappacinos. BFD. |

This is in fact an interesting point of view that Xile has brought into this discussion.
The Latao Society of Commernce however counts the freedom of business and therefore the freedom of using the money the way you want is even more important that a clean state household. As the Society reports, it’s one of the most urgent issues that Latao’s government has to face in the next few years. We think that the survival of this government is decided by the question, of the state’s financials.
We wonder, that the officials of the Sacrosanct Realm of Xile do not think, that an extreme high tax duty of 100 % scares off all investors, that’s actually communism and doesn’t have much in common with free marketing. How can one make a benefit of his investments if the state takes all the return of invest (ROI) away – and that leads us to the next question: How defines what is where and when and how to invest ?
If we take a look at the few political freedom in Xile, the Society does not think, that this question is decided in a democratic manner.

Yes, and if we look at Latao, whose population of over one billion has no tax revenue spent on defence, we see that it would take little effort to absorb your capitalist regime. We commend your efforts of categorizing nations in the Atlantian Oceania region, but we ask you not to condemn the effects of certain governments. If your administration has not also noticed, the nation of Xile is in a highly powerful alliance in which the nations spend the majority of their taxes on defences. The nation of Abattoir has a GDP more than twice that of Latao, and a trade surplus of over 500 billion. Domestically, yes, your nation has much more economic activity. Globally however, Abattoir is a powerhouse, along with the nation of Xile. Keep up with the statistics, but don't toot your own horn too much or we'll buy a bigger one.

The five strongest (active, non-puppet) currencies (and their worth in US$) in AO are:
| CODE | 1. Latao latinum 1.9363
2. Abattoir yuengling 1.6717
3. Nova Roma denarivs 1.6584
4. Xile mark 1.6405
5. Starblaydia Starblaydi Credit 1.6261 |
Consider also that positions 2 through 5 are part of a full political, economic and miltary alliance, the Strategic Alliance of Autocratic States, the Confederacy of Latao should be careful not to boast of its dependance on economic successes, lest it be seen as a target for a hostile takeover.

The Department of Commerce of Fmjphoenix would like to ask Starblaydia what The Strategic Alliance of Autocratic States is exactly. |

Strategic Alliance on the WikiOOC: Actually its an attempt to create a group within the region other than AORDO. Everyone in AO seems to be on the same team, so I thought we should create a new one and the Strategic Alliance was born. An 'opposition' alliance/entente/treaty (a NATO to our Warsaw Pact, for instance) would be cool to see. |
