Endralon is one of the most connected nations, economically, in Terra and it's corporations are everywhere, and it does have an impact on expanding the over all economy. However, most of the jobs they would be generating would be in foreign nations where they are primarily mostly active, based on your Role Play.
BOPA for example buys a lot of oil... but most of that doesn't go back to Endralon for refinement, it goes from one port, and then it is moved to another nation as a direct sale, so Endralon doesn't really benefit from that type of transaction. This is just an example.
As we stated, you are growing, and arguably are on the verge of becoming a Very Strong Economy, just not there quite yet.
I see. I think you are making a clear point, however I think I could refute it, if you allow me.
Endralon's local economy is built on the
25 Steps Program, a giant RP event from the past, which serves as a stable base for the economic RP in Endralon (
this gave her the "Strong Economy" title earlier). This allows that I can focus on the foreign expansion of corporations, rather than the local economy, which is already kinda done. There are still some posts dealing with the "mainland" economy, for example
internal airlines,
internal heavy industry,
internal construction wave,
internal public transportation,
internal whaling trade or
foreign corporations making jobs in Endralon, just to mention some. There are many more, I could link all of them if you want.
The BOPA analogy is quite simplified for me, however I would highlight that (1)
BOPA obviously pays tax for the Directorial Republic, even if just 5% (2)
they're constantly paying back their loans for the purely Endralon-based Financial Bank of Liberty which later of course turn that money into new investments and new jobs. So even if BOPA is a company that is purely made to make the Boros richer and richer, it has some aspects that significantly help the Endralonian economy.
Also I don't know it is helpful or not, however I wrote this in the
first episode of the Crowded Hugamest:

They had an arguably decent family undertaking, like the small coffee shop for this one, and than they immediately thought they're some Want Street CEOs "building up the Directorial Republic". Since they were the majority of the society, the lower middle class, the support for the existing hypercapitalist system was stable as iron; the working class was noticeably small compared to other countries, since the Endralonian companies usually preferred foreign, cheaper workforce across the world, while the middle classes had their wealth and capital to operate own undertakings thanks to the extremely great amount of money entering Endralon every single year. Even Mizesz Lajos couldn't plan the system better.
I am not an economist, by any means, however I think if something, then my RP in Endralon deserves to be upgraded Very Strong economy finally. It is a fact that every second post of mine is economic, since the summer of 2020 - and I have a 3.08 posts per day rate, I say without flexing. As I wrote above, the small working class is in poor conditions, but
employed, the wide middle class has own undertakings so they can contract with larger corporations or foreign ones, while the upper class is the richest corporate elit on Terra. This sounds like the characteristics of a hypercapitalist,
very strong economy to me
