===Inflation and deflation===
Prices can widely vary during playthroughs. This can be due to global events, but it's mainly achieved by players actions with buying from or selling to foreign powers. Prices can will vary due to world wide inflation, resulting in prices rising and falling without requiring player interaction. This can demand player's constant attention, leading to potential new economic markets exploration, as prices range randomly year after year.
As inflation is a general increase in the prices of goods and services in an economy, and deflation it's opposite; the player should focus on becoming an economically independent country as the decades of gameplay pass. This can help reduce and prevent extreme prices for resources such as food or electronics for importation if your production have a limited reach or requires some external exports. It should be kept in mind that overproducing resources also leads to lower prices through exportation, making selling too many of the same resource cost inefficient.
Western and Soviet Bloc prices are separate, once prices reach low selling value and high buying price, switching markets can be proven useful until prices cool down.
===Global events===
Global events are a type of game settings that can influence playthoughts with multiple situations. Global prices of resources can be affected as well. This can range from resources costing half of their price for months, up to resources costing double. This doesn't affect secondary resources values, such as iron doesn't affect the price of steel or mechanical components.
===Uses===
====Construction with currency====
====Resources====
Resources can be acquired from foreign powers. This can be achieved in two ways:
:Auto-purchase resources automatically buys and delivers resources at locations such as shops or gas stations. You are able to set a minimum amount of resources and currency utilized. The cost of auto-purchase is a calculation of resource value + frontier distance. The further from a border, the more expensive the delivery. Once the minimum amount of resources is reached, it will auto fill said location.
:Manual purchase of resources is done by setting vehicle lines and sending these to buy resource at foreign customs houses. This can be done with any type of vehicle but may require distribution warehouses to facilitate the distribution of resources. This method cuts the delivery costs and is quicker to transition from consumption of external resources. to internal resources. It will be more expensive in the short run, but it'll make a republic's cost more manageable and predictable.
Resources can be sold similarly to the manual purchase in customs houses. This will require vehicles to transport resources to said places. This is the only way to sell resources or vehicles.
