Imagine that one guy out there who’s been waiting for you to cover buton for actual advice and it ends up being the one “how to ruin a country” guide so far lmao 😂
I think Dyes might have been better to produce than tobacoo considering if you go on isolationism so no one can buy or sell you stuff there'd be literally no goods being produced that pops can consume. But besides that and preventing poor laws from being passed since I think that still raises standard of living since pops can eat money(the calc only cares if they have enough money for the goods they need not if there's even goods for them to buy iirc) this was a pretty fun run and video. Also very technically you could have not built any industry and left all your people unemployed besides the one agriculture building since building even useless industry adds urbanization and urban centers *technically* can produce useful goods in services although I highly doubt any pops would live long enough to reach the standard of living to even use them. Maybe a cool take on this for a future nation could be like the worst banana republic possible? Taking a nation like Costa Rica and only producing a cash crop just to export it before your people can even use it could be fun both for gaining a nice gdp and starving your pops at the same time. Cambodia could also work for this since it has silk which is both a valuable export and can't be eaten but it would need to break free from Siam or build so many buildings it doesn't have the infrastructure to benefit from Siam producing actually useful goods.
