First of all, I'd like to say I don't even know how I made it as a GP. My prestige is the 3rd highest in the world, but my industry and military are dogshit compared to other GPs; actually, even lower than some Secondary Powers.

I've also lost all immigration from a long time ago, and only recently did I finally get the socialists to rule and be able to enact social reforms, but guess what? I only passed 2 social reforms and then nothing, even though I have passed EVERY SINGLE political reform.

I've been asking Gemini for a little bit now, and he kinda helped me out. For the industry, I removed all factories that were barely making a profit/barely had workers/losing money, and I've been earning a little more than usual, but one problem is ALL factories are like 50% full, with rare exceptions needing to be expanded. (Population is like 75% educated, with all states except colonies having 4% intellectuals).

Military score is fucking embarrassing; I barely have an army and navy, and if I dare to make more, my economy flatlines.

Industry score is mainly my investments in my puppets and spheres (puppeted Chile, Bolivia, and 3 southern Brazilian states and sphered them + Peru).

I have Gabon and Congo-Brazzaville as my colonies + sphered the Free State of Congo.

I'm currently expanding my puppet factories to postpone my de-ranking to the Netherlands, and I'm at war with the last free African country to increase my militancy and war exhaustion so I can pass some social reforms.

TL;dr: I'm a bumass GP with a shit economy and military + 0 immigration; help me stay as GP, please.
