Which difficulty mode are you playing?
You can currently subjugate levels 1 and 2. Lv 3 is in permanent anarchy, even if you defeat its Lizzard Boss. Medium and Hard difficulty Modes have penalty control loss for every couple of days of Anarchy or rioting, so your situation will eventually become too hard to handle when playing in harder modes. There is no such thing on Easy (Secretary) Mode, and you may maintain daily 100 Order in perpetuity.
The most important 'indicator' is Order, while Control (in negative number) indicates daily order decay. You restore order by:
1. Subjugating prisoners (by halberd or sex)
2. Organising visits in Visitor centre (reception job)
3. Enacting edicts which improve control and/or order.
When subjugating prisoners in combat or sex combat, remember that a lost battle (zero stamina and zero energy reached) teleports Karryn to defeat scene and then a day passes. Thus, make sure you've restored enough order on that day to be able to afford a defeat. And defeats are important part of Karryn's strategy, especially when playing slutty.
The goal of the game is to find a method of effective Order management, so that it never reaches 0. Financial management is secondary to that, just as Warden's method / route (pure or slutty). It takes a few gameplays to find out which edict does what, so if you're a KP newbie, there is no shame in playing in Secretary Mode. It's very easy, but still enjoyable with fair amount of challenge. And you will not miss any CG scenes.
