I'm going to add a couple of details that I think will help you achieve what you're going for.
To begin, you need to toss away your current conceptions of how growth, in this game, works. It's easy for us to think that we "grow" and expand our economies just because we RP or say so. Well, it's not as simple as that.
PT is a game of optics and narratives. That has been my playstyle for over 5 years and holds true to this day. What I mean by that is the success you're going to find in this game is by the image and the story you try to paint with others. I can easily go to my thread right now and say that I am a thriving global superpower. Nobody will believe that. Why? Because I haven't given the community enough of a picture to support that claim. How does one make that claim become a reality? Well you have to focus on three specific things:
1. Work with others.
Regardless of the IC state of Terra, we in the OOC community will always be open to cooperation. The more cooperation you have players the more opportunities this is going to open up. Not just within financial RP, but every category in general. If you help other players achieve their goals, they will help you achieve yours through direct or indirect ways.
If I claim to help South Dovani for example, they will benefit from my RP, but I can also say my standing and cooperation helped myself as well..
2. Create a Narrative.
You are trying to paint the story of Luthori becoming this influential financial place--but just from what I know that is not the case. You CANNOT convey this with 1 or 2 posts. You have to make this a storyline. It has to be something you focus about for a long period of time. sometimes it takes week, sometimes it takes months, but again PT is played through optics, not by forcing a narrative on someone. It takes time to create a vision for your nation. I would start small by focusing your posts on the objective of your financial institutions. Always mention any moment of cooperation you've had with others and use that to create a legitimacy for your narrative.
3. It's OK to not know everything/Have Fun.
With creating narratives it is very easy to seem "obsessive" or seem like you're a failure (which is what I see happening here). I think above all you need to show people you're genuinely having fun with this and you haven't made this a task. You can have clear, healthy goals for your nation while also having fun. And listen: NOBOODY here is an expert. We've all got some basic knowledge about economics, some more than others, but that shouldn't stop you. The way you give yourself even more credibility is by showing you have an interest and excitement in your own writing. Remember the optics, if you keep saying Luthori is a failure, people will soon begin to actually believe that because you're not giving them evidence that proves them otherwise.
Have fun with it, explore your options, work with others, and create a good story.
