Thats probably my weakest weaponary...I also have deathfields surrounding my country, so attacking by land or sea(over a lake) is foolish and attacking by air would get you so badly shot down it just isn't funny.

I think that is mainly because I do know what I am talking about, but can blag when I don't. Also because I have multi-level arguments with 5 or so points, one of which may be made up, but the other 4 are fine... Retech is much better because he doesn't really think about it too much and no one wants to argue because its easier not to.

16 million troops seems rather extreme...

'Quite Interesting TV' goes live. This channel is exclusively accessible via S-Net, and features a hell of a varity of shows. The shows have been paid for by donation and by tee-shirt sales, and is run by Stephen Newton. The channel is not merely 'another channel' it is fast becoming 'the channel' releasing news and programs days ahead of other networks.

To be honest, if you want Spain then you can just take it. Its still a free territory, it might not be too safe but still :rolleyes:

Greetings from the year 2015(Part 2)

Thus Scandinavia is overpriced and has a terrible economy. (Bottle of Pepsi = 79 pence for 770 ml)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Mac_Index Lets simplify.

2.28 Dollars 1.45 Pounds I can get a 2 litre bottle of 'soda'(Coke or Lemonade or whatever) for around 9 pence, at a push 1 pound if you want the best quality stuff...the sort of stuff that blows your nose for you. Even a can of Pop would only cost 79 pence, and thats 770mililiteres

57 cent to 2.85 Dollars. 36 pence to 1.81 Pounds Now bread in this county(Wales/England) costs between 11 pence and 1.59...Thus Pounds are better than Krone in value as well.

How much does a loaf of bread cost in Krone?

Budget for the end of last year and start of this year: [hide] Statistics: Gold Tonnes 1,111 Population: 8,500,000 GDP: 424 Taxation: 13.00% Tax Collected: 468,520,000 Public Spending: Police Force: State Controlled Health Care: State Controlled Industry: Private Controlled Agricultural: Private Controlled Energy: State Controlled Armed Forces: State Controlled Legislature: State Controlled Research: State Controlled and Private Controlled Police Force: See Army Healthcare: Coverage: 1 per 300 Number of Doctors: 28,333 Number of Nurses per Doctor: 6 Number of Nurses: 170,000 Industry: Realisable output, per year: 40,000,000 Tonnes(May need revising I can't find statistics) Regulation Costs: 0 Agricultural: Supportable population: 6,000,000 Regulation Costs: 0 Energy: Solar-Hydro: 20,000,000 Solar: 500,000 Armed Forces: Standing Army: 100,000 Reserve Army: 30,000 Police Force: 40,000 Youth Leaders 5,000 Intelligence: 3,000 Special Operations: 2,000 Total: 180,000 Legislation: Waste: 1,000,000 Research: CERN projects: 100,000,000 Aerospace Program: 50,000,000 Basel Research Program: 4,000,000 Bern Research Team: 30,000,000 Ionosphere Program: 2,000,000 Oil-Free Plastics: 200,000 Bolter Rifle: Private Research S-Net: Private Research Total Cost of Health Care: 90,100,000 Total Cost of Energy: 20,500,000 Total Cost of Army: 152,640,000 Total Cost of Legislation: 1,000,000 Total Cost of Research: 186,200,000 Total Cost 450,440,000 Surplus/Deficit 18,080,000 Treasury (in Dollars) 3,070,188,679.25 [/hide]

Something like that, probably.

Mather one would assume so... A ten Krone note would be worth more than a one dollar note... 0.19 * 10 =1.9 :rolleyes:

Maybe it explains why Scandinavian Krone never became a major trading currency... :-s Oh and just because I found the smiley, Swiss Ninjas' are sent to the International Ninja conference happening in London. :ph34r:

Except that krone is worth a lot less. Also 1 half krone should be equal to...9.5 Cent....Since a Krone is equal to 19 Cents.

Indeed it is... Fair amount of patriotism on Mather's part to claim it was rich and flourishing...

Krone are worth .19 Dollars each...they are worth about 1/5th...

Oh, the US value is the value of their Gold(not additional), except for Dusty, who went out and brought US Dollars specifically...for some reason.

Gold is worth 920 Dollars per ounce. something like 30 million per tonne.

Only krone has an exchange rate currently, going off wikipedia generally though.

Yay...well, kind of...The more indepth it gets the less trival arguments we can have =( Gold is how many tonnes of gold you have: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_reserves Krone is because Mather and Dusty wanted to screw about with a very easy system. Basically international trade, rather than relying on 'I tax my people and spend 80 quadtrillion dollars buying Mercury' I thought it would be a good idea to just go off Gold, since it has a relatively fixed amount...So if someone wants to buy something they would trade Gold and Gold would have a value(which is in US Dollars) and thus trade is restrained to only a few billion being moved around at anyone one time.

Switzerland starts an aid program to the USA, it is expected that annexation will take 5 days.=P (joke) Yeah, Ross was supposed to get the whole Island of New Guinea. Dusty, what do you mean amature? Regularly up for 24-36 hours, reguarly with 10-12 hours sleep...Compared with your 16 and 8 I have a far greater efficency. So, currently there are electric cars, from Russia, Fuel Cell cars from Brazil and Bio-Fuel Cars from Japan(as the big three)...I am so glad that I use electric cars, mainly self built but with some import from Russia. Then there is Solar-Hydrological power from Switzerland, Nuclear from SSR, Salt-Power from Scandinavia and good old coal and oil from the USA. As for weapons we have traditional chemically propelled weapons from SSR, electromagnetic weapons from various countries, Telum and Nex weapons from Switzerland and a healthy doesage of information weaponary from just about everyone it seems. SSR and Scandinavia are going to the depths, Switzerland-Russia-Scandinavia-Australia are going to the stars, Japan has space program. Switzerland completely disavows foreigners, Germany is introducing literarcy tests with grandfather clauses, the USA and Britian are freezing immigration, the SSR is becoming more multi-cultural by the day and Japan seems to have annexed its way into being the most multi-cultural country. The world is really devloping apart from each other. Anyway, another P-Jet has been completed, up to 7 now, with 5 to go.
