In the opening cutscene to the first Terror mission, one of the fleeing civilians stops to pull a wounded man out of the way while under plasma fire.Knowing that they made it out alive and will be back on their feet is wonderful. Watching wounded troopers joking around in the infirmary.Getting additional continent bonuses also requires that countries in that continent do not leave the alliance. Note that you can also get another continent's bonus by having satellites over every country in that continent. For instance, a certain number of engineers is required for many engineering projects, and there's the notion of adjacency bonuses, and etc. I've given sort of a high-level interpretation of how the bonus would effect your game, but you'd probably want to play a bit or do some further research to fully understand the side effects. This means that at the end of the month, when you collect your income, it will be boosted, allowing you to build/buy more things in any given month.

"Future Combat" - 50% discount on in the Foundry and Officer Training School projects.Workshops grant engineers and can reduce the cost of buildings. Labs grant scientists and speed up research. "Expert Knowledge" - Labs and Workshops cost 50% less to build and maintain.Interrogations typically yield research bonuses. autopsies provide certain projects and gear, which typically requires corpses. "We Have Ways" - Interrogations an autopsies complete instantly.You can create interceptors for cheaper, and their monthly fees are reduced.

"Air and Space" - aircraft maintenance/cost is reduced by 50%.
