In this way, corporations are encouraged to produce at a high quality and try to get very high prices for their products or use the high quality to compete on the market. |

In both cases, you will pay more for the products. |

| Production Process Quality | | A corporation starts with a production process that produces all products at a standard quality of 100. If the corporation is upgraded by 1 point to 101, it will produce better products of quality level 101.

Example: If the quality of a product is 150 this is 50% higher than most products. It can be sold for 30% higher price and will be considered 20% cheaper than the standard price at quality 100. |
| Quality of your Production Process | | This is the quality of the production process. It shows what the corporation production process does to product quality. The quality of the products depends on the quality of the raw materials used and the quality of the production process. If the average quality of the raw materials is 100 and the corporation's quality index is 110, then the produced product will have a 110 quality. If the raw materials average quality is 102, the output quality will be about 2% better. So both the raw materials and the quality of the production process influence the quality of the produced products. |

| Rail Network Size | | This is the total length of your rail road system in the country. |
| Railroad Index | | The railroad index is one of the three components of the transportation index. The railroad index depends on the total length of railroads in the country and the length of railroads needed. If the length needed is equal to the length of the existing railroads, the railroad index will move gradually to 100.
The transportation index tends to move in the direction of the lower of the three partial indexes: the road index, the railroad index and the water treatment index.
It does not make sense to increase only one of the three components because the transportation index will remain similar to the lowest of the three.
Increasing the railroad index is easy: just build new railroads and the index will increase. |
