Resistance, the Qua'ran is the Old Testament with a few prophets' words added later. The average Muslim has nothing against USA, only the few extremists do and interpret the Qua'ran that way. There's also the matter of Sunni and Shia, which are about as different as Catholic and Protestant. Here's a meme to help explain: Retech, many countries in the middle east are underdeveloped, Saudi Arabia and UAE are not among them.

I was saying it couldn't be muslim extremist to the point of jihad.

No, but it should (hopefully) encourage other nations aid me should someone (*eyeballs Rocco*) attack me.

No possibility of just renaming it to Arabia? Archi, your comments have ceased to be sarcastic, that sentence was just [developmentally delayed]ed and unrelated.

Reformulate that last sentence, will you? If you mean that if I don't like it, then I should change the name then I think I would prefer to simply call it Arabia, I just stuck with the name you assigned it before the change of system.

Now you just screwed up even worse, that would be the entire continent of Africa, a third of Europe and two fifths of Asia.

Only Britain is still British. Icu, let me show you something. http://maps.google.no/?ll=23.80545,41.220703&spn=20.454044,45&t=h&z=5 As you can see, the land I own is made up of Saudi Arabia (ally of USA), Qatar (ally of USA), Jordan (ally of USA), Israel (ally of USA), Yemen (receiving military aid from USA), Iraq (CT war won) (recieving military aid from USA), Syria (neutral), UAE (neutral). Arabia is not the part of the middle east in which war is going on.

Ok, reiteration, America wants you dead :thumbsup: That would be China, IRL America is allied to most of Arabia.

Icu, first of all, this is 2070, not 1070. Secondly, most of my area is the Arabian peninsula, the part with the Sheiks, not the "prophets".

Yes.

Icu, catching up is the best part, then you don't have to wait at all.

Yes! :thumbsup: Any sort of UN in existence? I would like to declare myself neutral.

I don't know, but the opinion is that growing, building and researching is good, fighting is bad.

I would like my national idea to be 'Develop', please.

By the way you worded it, it seemed like what they had 0.5 at was increasing tech group bonuses.

So it would take... 239+2 = 549,755,814,088 years for the US to reach my level of weird tech if they were 4 times as big as they could start as. By that time the sun will be dead for many times its lifetime and the universe would probably have imploded/expanded into the big freeze.

Me neither, it could have some uses but that would require further, more specific research. I wanted to know because that gives me a rough estimate of how skilled I am. Am I correct in assuming the same technology would take about 80-90 years for the US?

High-tech indeed, but this is more than half a century in the future and I am pretty much the most skilled nation at such weird technology.

Matrix-like.

Wait, since my weird tech is by far greater than any other tech levels here, does that mean my nation is a savant of the weird? How long do you reckon it would take me to create a virtual world?

Possibly awesome sauce.

Due to a family tradition of visiting my grandparents' grave I may be late for Tuesday's session. This is very unlikely as the sessions usually start at around 20:00-22:00 here, but if it happens I will still show up even if I have to drive home in the middle of the night.

Lynx, even if you die right at the end of a session, you will be alive the next.

Shouldn't most of Greenland be uninhabited?

I feel sorry for whoever gets the job of fixing the Christian Empire and Russia.
