Ding, ding, ding. I am here to relay the official quarterly economic report of the 10000 Islands. This report has been complied by an old time economist who lives in our isles and is only known by the name Mortimer.
April 2008 - While the population in the region remained relatively the same, overall business results were less than stellar. A general slow down in our economy has been felt. Several factors contributed to this slow down, and some of them were from the loss of trade stemming from the loss of several colonies. The loss of the powerhouse colonies have severely dampened the overall shipping numbers for the region. Other colonies have sprung up, but general production has decreased.
Capitals:
Many nations now have improved their island nation by building a capital. With a capital comes national respect both internally and externally. A net profit of 2,000
was gained from all nations with a capital.
Farming:
The down turn in the economy meant less demand for farming products. All farms had a loss of 2,000 this quarter.
Mining:
Mining reported some unusual discoveries this quarter including more promising leads in the Islands of the TITO Knights. Each mine produced 3,000 in profit.
Shipping:
The general slowdown in the economy was most felt by shipping. The closing of several large colonies caused many shipping companies to lay off workers. Each shipping fleet lost 5,000.
Factories:
Factories are currently the hardest and most costly to build on the 10000 Islands map. With a drop in demand, factory production decreased this quarter, but orders from new colonies help to save factories from larger losses. Each factory lost 7,000.
