Surely you don't mean EVERY country can go into debt? Somebody has to stick around to bail out the others, eh? I went into debt in the first game and looked to see if there was any method of self-help -- I couldn't get the contracted sectors to do the work to sell the goods. So unless the diety is going to give you money, I wouldn't condone debt at all. There are enough painless ways to avoid it. -Mike genrad!mit-eddie!zzz (UUCP) ZZZ%MIT-OZ@MIT-MC (ARPA)
