Hi all, i probably wont be on tomorrow, so please try not to start anymore wars without me : . Nothing really exciting is happening in TNROK (or TinRock, the name affectionately given to it by the citizens). All projects are on time. We would like to know if either aether or russia would want so sell us a narrow strip of land between Mongolia and the rest of the republic? T would also like to make a rule of only one diplomatic acquisition every two or three years. germaniac seems to be getting 3 new countries "Joining his cause" every year

You remind me of me when i started. Slow down a bit. even something as simple as a water purifier would take 1-2 years to be ready for distribution. Also, if you arent aware, 1 day = 1year, 2 hours = 1 month, 4 min. = 1 day.

All is peaceful in the land of Kazakh :uhh:. We have introduced voter reform, voting is no longer based on age, but intelligence. We are now introducing project Colon. It will be finished in 4 years. Project rectum will be complete in 5 years, along with our space program. Project tapeworm had some delays, and will not be finished for 4 years. We are now unveiling details on project Serpent. It involves first settling Mars, then launching a space station, and then a battleship. Our Somilian colony has passed a law outlawing piracey, and has vowed to destroy the remaining pirates.

What? It's still white land. Oh well. I'll go to war for it. I'm still going to ask him for it. Then invading would be an act of war. :| Cool. Can someone unshrink the map, it used to be larger. Ill do it tommorrow if no one else will

[hide=Most Recent Map][/hide] This is the most recent map. Edit:imageshack screwed it up, im re uploading it now

Please use the most recent map when updating.

Nothing exciting going on in TNROK. All our projects are coming along well. Project rectum now has a completion estimate of 4 years, and our 4 space shuttles , which can now hold 300 people each, will send 900 Kazakhs and supplies to mars in 5-6 years. Our bases in somilia are to be completed next year. They will be docked with 50 patrol cruisers. A new project, Tapeworm, will be unveiled in 6 years ant the base.

I think you're confused. That's how private insurance companies operate. The difference is that private insurance companies need your business and only make marginal profits off of each user. Unfortunately, the government is non-profit and therefore does not have the motive to keep its "customers" happy. And insurance plans are usually very flexible, depending on what conditions the user agrees to. Do they want a high deductible but more coverage? A low deductible with less coverage and a more expensive copay at the benefit of lower average costs? The government is likely to have a "one-size-fits-all" plan (to be honest I only made it to page 85 of the bill before my eyeballs started to bleed) but the disadvantage is that everyone shares in the government's budget. I think I read like $5,500 per individual and $10,000 for families is the maximum coverage and it will be adjusted for inflation. To be quite honest, that's not a lot. Two trips to the ER, to put it into perspective. A lot of senior citizens have that much as a deductible alone on Medicare, and they blow through that very quickly. It's not an issue of being some socialist Big Brother stops you from getting medicine. It's that people are going to make use of this, run out of their plan, and end up having to get high deductible cheapo insurance regardless, at the expense of trillions of dollars. It's a drain that could be fixed by addressing the symptoms of what's wrong in healthcare. Bull [cabbage]

I will go to every doomsday forum and type FAIL

[hide=Updated Map][/hide] Just filled in a couple places that belonged to China and India and added Turkmenistan to my republic.

No, but his head is on our national museum :D . We are not releasing any details as of now. So am I.

Breaking News! Turkmenistan has officially surrendered. Our army is still dealing with insurgents, but overall the war is over. Our KERAV's were extreemly effective, we only lost 2 from direct tank fire a critical weakness, which is now fixed on the next batch.

playing dirty i see :)

Oh, it looked like somewhere along the line it was saved as a JPEG

Thanks, i only claimed it because before you invaded, he said his land was up for grabs.

sorry bout that, could you put your country in your sig? and to the mapmaker, i have claimed the tip of Somalia and the island off its coast. we already have people working to rebuild it.

List of possibly inactive countries. India Venezuela Norway Egypt New Zeland I just skimmed the last 15 pages, sorry if i missed your posts NVM

Map with my claims in Somalia. we have already sent 2000 people to rebuild and build a naval base. i also get the small island. The map has gone through a bit of artifacting around the borders, from now on try to save it as PNG (small but lossless)

In Pirates defense, he didn't launch napalm missiles, he blew up all his embassies, which were loaded with napalm. I say if he posts in the next couple days, he can have his country back. Also, you cant invade him, as he gave his land away. i would like to claim the tip of Somalia for TROK. In other news, Our KERAV's have proved very effective against The Turkmenistan. They are armed with 2 high power 50 cal. machine turrets, 2 antitank/antipersonnel missile launchers, and a composite laser beam turret, which basically cuts through most organic objects and light vehicles. They are powered by solar panels and Ethanol. we are making progress towards the capitol, and expect the country to fall in a few months. In several instances, Civilian Militias have rebelled against their army, and helped us liberate their towns. Project rectum is coming along nicely. Project Python is a long term project. All we can say is it is space related, and more will be released when we launch our first 3 shuttles, sending 1500 people to Mars. Does anybody know what happened to the moon?

Cmon you two. there's plenty of land for everyone. Felix, he built the ship in orbit, kinda like a space station. And to Brazil, you have to understand that mars surface area is slightly under 1/3 of earths. do you really need the area about the size of Argentina for your colony of a few million people?

Here is the new mars. If your settled colony was removed (not if it was just a land claim), feel free to re-add it. the colored ones just mean you get the land on each side of the map. from now on, no more claims untill your ship lands. also, only 1 parcel of land until you can settle it with more colonists

makes sense, but remember that the gallery of void moves around, so it may not be wise to move people there

Since you are the mars guy, how do you feel about reserving colonies. I think it should be allowed, because it gives smaller countries a chance. If allowed, here is the land i will occupy EDIT: id like to offer Somalia and Australia an alliance

Put it anywhere
