So, the way you want to end it is: "I blow everyone up, haha [bleep] you I win!" How is that more spectacular than getting every nation to unite under one banner, and having a unified Earth?

Heh, 50m. Okay, bid starts at 50m!

Nobody is really paying attention to you anymore, just Arch so that he doesn't have to calculate results. Also, TFed has sent out 20,000 ships in separate directions in the direction of Brazil's system.

Yay Unification Day! And Doom a war between us would boil down to a war of atrittion. Considering I have more planets, more people, a larger military, a more fanatical population, more allies, and only slightly less production power... I think it's fair to say who would win. So let's just unite together, we can even change the name to The Human Republic or something.

These are still on sale to whoever bids highest: -- Romania going through education reform, to eliminate the massive amounts of time in the standard school system that is spent doing nothing and learning zilch. There's also being more of an emphasis on online courses and alternative education, and the time saved means that there are a large number of community centres and recreational programs being set up across Romania.

I don't think Romania has any astronauts on it.

Ha! We are using Wikipedia as our fountain of knowladge, and our collective knowladge of the world as the basis for continuing the modern world....We are all acting like we know what we are talking about...when really we just think we do. I just tend to be more self-confident because I have the collective knowladge of millions of hours of reading text books, watching documentaries and thinking about the world....And not drinking, which probably helped a lot in confidence building...no Dutch Courage for me. I agree Dusty, but from the last Hegemony I know that typically the entire population was armed with guns and sent to kill everyone and everything, so I think there needs to be some ruling on that. *Shrug* Parading around pseudo-intellectualism as if it were fact simply to sway opinion is something that's best left to the media. Us little folk shouldn't dabble with the dark arts.

*shrug* I have the capacity now to produce like...30,000 battleships a year.

If he warped his fleet out than what killed them? So, you'll allow someone to just blow up the entire universe to stop me from winning? Brilliant! Keep in mind by doing so you'd have to throw out all the rules that have held the game in place over its duration. I think it's quite funny as long as nothing really messes with my economy and growth (aka, the collapse of the EU, and the European economy, which I still like is [cabbage] and Arch just got you guys to agree with by sounding like he knew what he was talking about). -- I vote China wins. As Rocco said, his forces are 'spread out all across Malaysia'. Also, 'fit for service' just means the number of people that could be eligible for military service. Not the number of people currently serving. -- Romania has put up these vehicles for sale to the highest bidder (though its not binding, since I won't sell tanks to someone who wants to invade me lol): Main Battle Tanks ~350 Armoured Infantry Fighting Vehicles ~450 Armoured Personnel Carriers 1600+ Towed Artillery ~800 Self Propelled Artillery about 200 Multiple Rocket Launchers about 20 1 Submarine 1 logistic ship 2 Admiral Petre Barbureanu class corvettes 3 Osa class missile boats 9 Naluca (Epitrop) class torpedo boats 1 minelayer 38 MiG-21s (fighter) 1 Alenia C-27J Spartan (transport) 4 Antonov An-26 Curl (transport) 1 Antonov An-30 Clank (recon) 18 Yakovlev Yak-52 (training) 12 IAR 99 'Şoim' (training) 9 Antonov An-2 Colt (training) 20 IAR 330 Puma (atk helo) 6 IAR 316 (training helo) 85 IAR 330 Puma (transport helo) 10 RQ-7 Shadow (UAV) 200 MIM-23 Hawk (SAM)

Spaceship production kicks into overdrive.

It'll cost way more than that. Unless you're feeding them gruel for breakfast lunch and dinner. Maybe a glass of water if they're nice.

Farmers are Fat Cats now? What?

By collapsing the economy. You can provide me with a quote of made up numbers all you want. To even get to that point would mean putting farmers out of jobs, loading up enormous strain on the economy, and disband a political and economic organization that has kept Europe stable and peaceful. I really don't think cheaper bread is justification for that.

Except Switzerland has been trying to collapse the economy of an entire continent simply because they don't like the actions of one country (Germany). That's like nuking North America because you met a douchebag that was from Jersey.

I am blowing up the world. If 10 people don't disagree with me the world is gone. Oh, and you have 10 minutes to get the votes in.

No foreign funding is necessary. Thanks for the offer though.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Romania Spending that much would [bleep] around with your economy Considering it's money spent to build a stronger economy I think that's a moot point.

I am uniting everyone! Sheesh...

Romania starts Project Framework, which will take up around 20% of available funds and take around 25 years to complete. Research Project FW1 & FW2 are commencing alongside it as well.

Then there is Brazil...

Why are you not allowed to destroy the game just because you're leaving? Because it's in the rules...

Erm no, it's not possible Ross.

Man that pissed me off to no end since I was the defacto map keeper of the previous games.

Ships have been dispatched to retrieve said technology.

My projects are done. SW is secret until someone stumbles into it. SS was the process of creating super-soldiers that feel no pain, have no emotion, and have biotic powers (ala Mass Effect). Kriegsmarine was a massive buildup of naval forces and upgrading existing ships NRes is a drug that can be taken to allow humans to survive in highly radioactive environments Gestapo was a counter-intelligence/re-education program.
