I was broke, WAS..

I spent my skill points in workers, aiming to gain more profit than just relying on AEs. Started with petroleum, then oil, then fish and the cycle kept on repeating. Wasn't making any decent profit, losses eventually stacked up and ultimately breakdown.
But then Pakistani Minister of Economy announced they are specialising in Ammo (Blue). Damn did my economy prosper after that. I checked the claim on Arcana, and the words held true.

Then, saw which other regions had the better profit; turns out they're beating competitors by a huge margin

I instantly switched to Northeastern Afghanistan and boom, my profits are peaking.

The tax is to come down as indicated by the Government!
