Rebel Inc. Economist Starting Plan for Mountain Pass

Start with civilian initiatives and anti-corruption, but do not spend the Economist’s entire annual budget up front. The supplied draft recommends that approach for Mountain Pass and calls for keeping funds available for military responses.

Suggested opening priorities

1. Buy Service Discussion and Universal Justice as the draft’s suggested early civilian initiatives.
2. Prioritize Anti-Corruption to address corruption risk. The draft also names District Representatives and Anti-Corruption levels 1 and 2 as first-year priorities.
3. Add education and healthcare initiatives after those opening investments.
4. Keep some of the annual budget unspent for military needs. The draft does not establish a reliable reserve amount, so treat its specific 60–70% spending target as unverified rather than a rule.

This order favors civilian support and corruption control before heavier military investment. It does not guarantee a successful build; the available material provides no tested costs, timings, or conditions for adjusting the order.

When insurgents appear

Use the remaining funds for military needs rather than committing the full annual budget to initiatives. The draft suggests positioning National Soldiers centrally and warns against relying only on Coalition forces because their contracts expire. It also cautions that Airstrikes can cause civilian resentment, so weigh that stated risk before using them.
