1% mortality rate? Does that mean only 1% of people died, or you only have a 1% chance to live? Erm, the hazmat (I'm sure that nuclear materials come under hazardous) are sent all over Germany with geiger counters to see where the radiation is the worse, and aid is sent to Kostok immediately and surrounding areas. Germany mourns the Smallpox incident, a memomorium (bad spelling) is set up in the name of the victims in Kiel (or w/e city it started it) Stahl makes a speech to his people: "This year, has been a tough year, a trying year on Germany. We lament our men, women and children that have died in the recent outbreak, a terrible incident. But it will not break our spirits. Right now, terrorists calling themselves "Clear Sky" plot our demise. BUT! This organisation lacks intelligence. They should know that the heart of a German is unshakeable. They should know we're free people. They should know our fortitude is stronger than steel! And for God's sake they should know that if you [bleep] with Germany, be prepared for the combined will of 80 million souls to purge. You call yourselves "Clear Sky" but you forget, Germany is the EAGLE!"

2020 (or 2019 if I am off by a year) Was global party year. Reports indicate that almost 100 billion litres of alcohol was consumed in the yearly period. Liver failiure has increased by 6000% Condom sales skyrocketed Global growth rate of +5% December 31st 2020 a day of infamy throughout man, known as the 'Great Hangover' And the world is having a serious case of "What the hell did I do last year?" And "Where are my pants?" Also Germany reports advancements in rocket technology

You know that's not him actually giving up his army right? Just cause he isn't using his vehicles doesn't mean that they don't count towards an army, and would technically be a reserve. The vehicles need to be either dismantled or sold.

As a sense of goodwill, Germany sends 5 billion to Japan to help them with Tokyo.

Your budget is 100 billion O_O.

I think your plans are FUBAR

92,990,900,000 remains, and thus goes into the economy.

I guess Vietnam said no then :P Also what of my hydroponics tower and such?

Okay. I would say, why can't I just use google Earth for this, but that hasn't been updated for a few years. Also 'keeping big buildings secret' is done all the time in USA. Many unmakred skyscrapers exist which people just assume are regular skyscrapers with employees in. Inb4 conspiracy, the government has confirmed it.

MIA was meant to be a secret, but it's okay I don't mind people knowing about it. PM the details of their mission though. Also why were the battleships so old? I didn't mind paying for a ton of new ones :S. OOC Why does everything I seem to do get linked with WW2? It's like everyone is still butthurt. Cause real life Germany has an intelligence network and I'm sure they're not called that :o

Runescape, a game when there really is nothing else to do.

No I'm implying taxing your people heavily will piss em off. Well SUDDENLY taxing em heavily anyway. The average person doesn't know economics, infact you might be very wrong about economics, I don't even know economics. But if you were taxed heavily all of a sudden it would piss you off, yes, no.

Probably have some knock on effect. If it doesn't I'll do it next, as it's basically free money.

Not sure you're understanding what I mean here. If your bills were quintupled right now, how [bleep]ed would you be? The answer, very. Also that's a quater of all you earn, gone to the government. That doesn't count other bills, like utility, and such. Please excuse spelling errors, it's very late.

Tell that to a person with basic understanding of math, basic understanding of economics and you're using their money. Not everyone is so ready to accept the right idea, when it's their asses that work to pay for it. To put it in perspective, the tax rate generally is balanced out by the lifestyle a person will live. So if they've been paying 5% for a lot of the time, they grow accustomed to that rate. You suddenly change that rate, their life has changed drastically, they'll become stressed, etc. It's true. It woulda have been fine if he did it at a fixed increase every year, and people STILL get pissed about that.

I can imagine that scene. -Government official walks into your house- "Good evening sir/madam, I am here today to show you this" -Pulls out large whiteboard full of math equations- "What is this?" "'What is this?' THIS is the answer to our economic problems, our plan is to increase your tax five times the amount you pay, so we have more money to fund OTHER nations." "Sounds amazing"

Really? Surprised there's not mass riots cause you just quintupled the tax rate.

Brazil what the hell happened? 500 Billion budget, 25% tax rate, -0.01 growth rate!?

Seems like a good idea Rocco.

Probably not the world. I doubt Archi would allow such a thing to occur.

Perhaps China has WMD's, and is going to fire them IF the military is not disbanded, but their country is in turmoil, and I don't think they would even be able to do that.

If anything happens to Indonesia, I will declare war on the nation that effs him over.

He sounds like an AI when it comes to war. -no army left- -half their provinces occupied- -ask for one province- NOPE -ask for white peace- NOPE -sends their peace deal where I give up a few provinces, concede defeat and pay them half my treasurery- -Proceed to capture and annex them-
