Knowing Grim he'll use his super effective epsionage trick of banging pots together and screaming really loudly to get access to the plant's mainframe without anyone noticing.

:) [hide=Most Recent World Map (please update front page with this one Sere/Arch)][/hide] Changes: Fixed the white blobs that weren't filled in Added Slovenia to the SR Added Austria to Italy

Quit [bleep]ing on Retech just because Arch disagrees with him. And Dungeonal...bloody hell, use the map I posted a while back, all those random white blobs in the middle of countries were fixed. Also, Slovakia talks going well. The SR has pledged to help defend Poland if it is attacked by foreign troops. (Obviously I can't exactly be a major player in the defense, considering my 'help' would amount to around 4,000 troops and some fighter cover). Nonetheless, the SR High Command has recieved thanks from Poland for the pledge. Communications equipment for the deep ocean exploration sub (DOES1) has been completed.

It's because he thinks we're wackjobs.

Unless your countries hadn't been using those mines at all, no. It hasn't risen at all from it.

You sure it's not dianetics, Grim? :P Keep in mind I have a vested interest in Palestine, so doing your stuff in secret and then coming along in 10 years and saying 'Palestine Mine!', isn't really going to fly well.

To be fair, the US is growing so slowly because its economy is on its knees coughing up blood and stomach acid from the beating it has taken.

SR begins construction on a new passenger bullet train network, as well as a separate train system for shipment of either goods or resources. They should cover most needs by 5 years, and 10 to be done completely across the board.

THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD SO I PICK A FEATHER AND A JAR OF INK Oh dear.

? There are UN peacekeepers between Israeli and Palestine. To do that they would've had to attack the peacekeepers to get through.

Btw Rocco, your 'Palestinian Coalition' doesn't even include Palestine. Lol.

*rubs hands in anticipation*

'nother round of updates: Project Framwork coming along, thanks to generous funding. Great Library of Bucharest almost complete, World History Museum still being constructed Project FW1 complete, every gas station across the SR has power available for electric cars Electronics systems for the deep sea sub have been completed, working now on communications equipment Starting research on drugs that can cure a number of medical diseases - Alzheimers, Osteoporosis, high blood pressure, Amnesia, Cancer, and AIDs (last two will take a loooong time). Still working on the new line of personnel weapons AK2015 is being mass produced, and has been bought in record numbers, due to its ease of use, reliability, cost, and effectiveness. It's the defacto rifle across the SR now. Research into more efficient road making is still progressing 1 of the 12 recycling centers have finished competion -Project RC begins, aiming to clean up the rivers and waterways across the SR. Alloted $230m per year. -Project VF begins, looking at the feasibility and whatnot of vertical farms. Alloted $50m per year Prison reform is currently going on, looking to make SR prisons more so about rehabilitation than punishment The SR welcomes Slovenia into the Republic, an additional $50m per 'assimilation' (for lack of a better word) program has been added Military of Croatia has been sold to Russia for 15b. 1/20th gold, 19/20 currency. I'll post it up later. Military of Slovenia has been sold to the same un-named country, for a total of 40 tonnes of gold and 5b (US). -- For the un-named country deal: Then for the deal with Russia: Most recent one ^, everything should be correct (going off the price of gold listed on the front page) Here is the most recent map: [hide=World Map][/hide] Changes: Added Slovenia to the SR Made minor changes (filling in most of those little white spots that were annoying me)

Poor Retech, always getting ganged up on :P

He wouldn't lose any more from his budget than he would if the Swiss weren't providing power anyways. Not really. He can't sell essentially infinite energy that he gets for free for the same price as it used to be. The price of a kw is probably less than a penny for him now, which means that he's making no money back, and the cost to run all the nuclear plants and all is getting no money back ,and he's losing money. Then that's for Germany to sort out.

He wouldn't lose any more from his budget than he would if the Swiss weren't providing power anyways.

Which is where I'm getting my energy for the next...898 years? :P

Not at all. It relies on people actually buying the cars. Right now, electric cars are cheaper and have more refuel spots in the SR, so those are the predominant car. Really the monopoly was because of Russia and Japan's economic warfare over the car profits.

Monopolies have to be negotiated with the country you're setting up in. Seeing as there are no other Hydrogen Fuel Cell manufacturers, I have a monopoly on H-Cars. Governments have nothing to do with it. Yes, but there's no protection of that. If I started making Fuel Cell cars (which, I could since that's exactly what Project UV was), there's no guarantee that you would retain that monopoly.

Monopolies have to be negotiated with the country you're setting up in. No. It just means that only Japan can sell algae-fueled cars. So, if a country like Russia starts funding companies in the SR that sell algae cars, they'd be kindly asked to leave (then have their permits revoked).

Ah yes, Slovenia has joined the Slavic Republic. (piss off it's smaller than Sardinia)

Unless you're making hovercraft tanks. Those can apparently be researched instantly.

The entire military of Croatia minus 2 frigates, a minelayer, and 8 MiGs. COnsidering it's my auction, I can do whatever I want. Besides, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auction Oh and if we're doing anthems, this'll be mine until I find a better one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lW6jW9y59JY :blink: aha, this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4N-Mjf9GD4&feature=PlayList&p=1CD04928E73E3009&index=84

Not yet but I do reserve the right no to sell if the bid is too low. -- For the new bloke: I am the Slavic Republic, with my piddly little 13k strong national army. I mostly do peacekeeping stuff and try to piss off Russia.

I vote No. Partisan groups in Canada have begun fighting back against the American government that is controlling them.
