Greetings!

In this article I want to show you some calculation about the producing of the raw materials.

Base infos:
-A Q5 raw factory producing 300 raw with 0 bonus, and producing maximum 630 raw, when the bonus is 110%
-The lowest price of 1 raw is basically 0,02 cc. You could easily find for this price at the biggest markets (Iran, Romania, Turkey etc.)
-The manager tax after a raw company is 1 cc if you are producing in your own country, and 6 cc if you are producing abroad. 

Notes:
-My calculations are done with the same gold/currency, most of the countries are operating with 100cc=1 gold.
-I didnt count with the taxes. Its much more different in countries + I think that most of the citizens are producing them for their companies, not for sale.
-I calculated with a 10 energy=0,1 cc rate. So 10K energy for 1 gold. You could easily buy it in this price at the black market, or from me (hidden advertisement).

Lets see an example:
Your country have 0% bonus, and you are producing in a 110% bonus country. You want to produce 6300 raw materials. The base income is 126 cc.

IF YOU ARE PRODUCING IN YOUR COUNTRY
You need 21 Q5 raw companies for that.
-Income: 126 cc
-Tax: 21 cc
-Energy costs: 2,1 cc
-Profit: 103,9 cc/day
-Investment costs: 525 gold
-Time until your investments costs return: 506 days

IF YOU ARE PRODUCING IN A BONUS COUNTRY
You need 10 Q5 raw companies for that-
-Income: 126 cc
-Tax: 60 cc
-Energy costs: 2 cc (1 cc for producing, 1 cc for travelling)
-Profit: 64 cc/day
-Investment costs: 250 gold
-Time until your investments costs return: 391 days (385 days if we are not calculate with the travelling costs)



See an other example:
An event comes (I forgot its name) and you can use raws for get UC tokens. So the raw prices goes up to 0,05 cc. You want to produce 6300 raw materials. The base income is 315 cc then.

IF YOU ARE PRODUCING IN YOUR COUNTRY (with 0% bonus)
You need 21 Q5 raw companies for that.
-Income: 315 cc
-Tax: 21 cc
-Energy costs: 2,1 cc
-Profit: 291,9 cc/day

IF YOU ARE PRODUCING IN A BONUS COUNTRY
You need 10 Q5 raw companies for that-
-Income: 315 cc
-Tax: 60 cc
-Energy costs: 2 cc (1 cc for producing, 1 cc for travelling)
-Profit: 253 cc/day
-You cannot calculate with the investments return time in this case, because it isnt took a long time.

So, it still worth to producing it at home!

And dont forget, that some smaller countries also have a few bonus, or a lower gold/currency rate.



There are 4 ways if you already understood that:

1. Patriot way
You are producing the raws at home with more companies and with a better daily profit, while you are support your own government (and its treasury).

2. Lazy way
You are producing everything in a bonus country, because its easier. You dont need to calculate too much. You dont need a separated production (while its available with a simple button at the companies page).

3. Mercantilist way
You are producing or not producing raws in your country, and you buy the necessary materials at the market for 0.02 cc.

4. Lucky way
You are playing in a country which has 100% bonus :D

Which one is you?
