Lol. The only person who actually attacked me was dungeonal. Jerusalem flew a few planes around and Kazakhstan lobbed a few artillery shells. I wouldn't really consider that "nearly losing its African colonies". I don't think it was called the Treaty of London either. :/ Basically you just run a country (or a planet in the new thread) however you want to. 1 day = 1 year in game, so you base your tech off that. Like, a new super-duper plane won't take a year to research, it'll take much longer. Just read for a bit and get a feel for how the game works.

Dyson spheres are universal tech?

If Hex isn't allowed to be an egowhore then neither is anyone else, which is like 1/2th of the people in the thread.

Let's not infuse our silly moral codes on people in this thread, please.

The first team has landed on the minor arctic planet of Tyr (Yggdrasil system). They were shuttled from Midgard.

Die?

By the way, I have colonists on Unoph in case anyone was wondering. They were the ones on the TerraVenger. Anyways, tech is being sent to them (encrypted, so don't try no space piratery). And again, Yggdrasil is 22 LY away. It's Gisele 581 IRL.

I agree. Their Starcraft addiction has gone too far! It's corrupting the entire country. Rocco, when did you build all those battleships? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terran_Federation_(Starship_Troopers)

Erm, humans. Kind of pointless to be named The Terran Federation and not be human.

Spam is actually not that bad. I dunno why it got such a bad rap; probably from all the army jokes about it. Most people who rag on Spam haven't even tried the stuff. Sheesh.

TFed has given $50b to New Hope/Iceland/Napta (whatever it is now haha). :) Cheers -- Q: Is there a text limit on posts?

[hide=Earth Map][/hide] Grim: Expendable yearly income for TFed is around 1.6tril last calc, around 36 tril GDP. [hide=Terran Federation Overview/History]The Terran Federation has its roots back in Germany on Earth. Somewhere around 2020 a coup was staged in Germany, putting yet another dictator at the head of Germany. Tensions mounted in the world as Germany forcibly annexed the Czech Republic and Austria (again), as well as staging a minor war with Holland, the result of which was complete demilitarization of Holland's armies. During this time, there were several ongoing conflicts with the Russian Empire, which led to Germany mobilizing its armies again and marching through Poland to attack Russia. However, Russia and Germany had both been talking in secret with one another, so the armies met without bloodshed, and instead turned on most of Europe. So began World War 3. A decade or so later, almost all of Europe was under either German or Russian control, aside from Britannia, Bulgaria, and most of Scandinavia (excluding Denmark). Luxembourg's government shifted to its African countries. The next stage in the world was what could only be called another Age of Colonialism, with every country expanding its borders and gobbling up its neighbours, either through diplomatic or military conquest. Tensions rose over Germany's fast expansion yet again. The stage was set for more conflicts though, and soon enough a fourth world war was sparked. Germany was ready, though, and had prepared a labyrinth of defenses stretching all across the empire, the result being that no one wanted to commit troops to attacking, as it would be a horrendously costly affair. The war was brought to a close with a shaky treaty signed by Germany which stated it would not conquer any more countries through military might. Diplomatic conquest continued, however. The remaining years have been peaceful, aside from a quick bout with Findenland, who's government had managed to get controlled by a maniacal tyrant who wanted to unleash a deadly virus on the world. Long story short, Findenland doesn't exist anymore, due to a combined effort of pretty much every country. Germany was renamed to Germania which was then renamed to Europa which is now The Terran Federation. It is currently one of only a few democracies in the world.[/hide] I skipped a lot of stuff, since it was already pretty long.

100b a year over the next 30 years does NOT put me in debt, considering that I alone have a 461b budget. Also, Burma and Cambodia (population) still belong to Kirby. I am only paying for his land. Too bad the people own the land then.

Eh, you guys can do whatever you want, it won't really change anything.

3 trillion over 30 years makes me in debt? 3 trillion will put you into debt, yes. Besides, let's see here. 30 years until the country is offically yours, hm. Yeah, that's fine. I'll have it before then anyways. I love the arbitrary time limit tacked onto the bidding spree, though. Especially since you both were communicating in IRC already. Heh.

I find Heimdall and tell him to blow his horn.

Lol, you just got massively scammed Kirby, since Sere doesn't even have that money. I guess that Britannia is now in a huge debt, so all his projects will halt, his military will become outdated, and his economy will take a big beating. Have fun with that Sere. Anywho, I'll start bribing Burmese politicians and military officers.

Trillion for your land. There's no way you can outbid me Sere. :) Question though: If you're moving your entire population off Earth, why do you want it to still be named the same?

Eh whatever.

I can just imagine the brainstorming for this mission: "India says there's water on the moon guys!" "India?" "Yea." "India has a space program?" "Yea!" "When'd they get a space program?" "...there's water on the moon!" "Oh. Right. Hmm. How do we make sure?" Everyone's concentrating, trying the figure out a way to do it with their limited budget, when suddenly one of NASA's employees storms in, drunk out of his mind. "LET'S BOMB THAT MOTHER [bleep]ING PIECE OF [cabbage] MOON!" Everyone goes quiet, just looking at him. The head researcher says in a quiet voice. "It's so crazy, it just might work!" Long story short, they bomb the moon and film a decidedly undramatic video.

Exactly what is this titan you speak of? Credit goes to Eve Online. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw0d6bCgIV0 So it's just an electrical field that doesn't really do anything? Btw: I think I've spent a total of around 20 trillion researching FTL, starting research with Ross well before the dyson bubble or whatever it is, in addition to helping build the dyson sphere and providing some of the materials needed to do so. When FTL is finished, I'll give it freely to everyone. If Ross or Doom have a problem with that, well...war? Hm. Oh! And you guys were saying I was bullying people. Go look at Grim's last 5 posts or so. It's like he thinks having fusion nukes makes him invincible. Hehe. Research progresses. Midgard pop at 20.6 million. Exponential growth and all that, including the medical advances. Pertaining to the treaty & the "paradise" planet. The paradise planet doesn't have money trees or gold bushes, guys. All it is is an extremely stable planet, which means next to no natural disasters, and it's the perfect climate for human colonization. That's it. So, I don't really care what happens with it. Besides, do you really think people are going to follow the treaty Rpg? I doubt it. Once a map for the planet comes out, everyones going to want a bigger piece of the cake. So, it's a no sign for me. I could just send the colonists over there from the earth like planet, though. They'd get there before anyone else could (excluding the people who have colonists on the planet already, obv). Yukyuk. Doom, can you PM me the time when you're going to do the new thread? It'd be awesome if everyone had a post on the 1st page, to give a brief overview of their empire, race, tech, etc.

Just a slight change to the list Ross. Yggdrasil's system is 22LY away from Earth. Anyways, fertility acceleration drug has been completed, and the design specs sent off to Midgard. Jetpacks have also entered into their alpha testing phase, so it should be around 3 more years until they're fit for combat. Starting research into a new infantry armour. Lightweight yet durable, a nice blend of mobility and medical whathavenot. Updates as they come. Also, the E2S fighters are coming along nicely. Oh and Bulgaria (aka The Combine) has bought the blueprints for my manned space fighters.

Can we blame Canada? Just this once?

LOL at the "surge in funding" bs that Sere and Grim have pulled like 3 times each now. I start a project to negate fusion nukes. SURGE IN FUNDING! Project complete. I realize that you guys want your tech due in before the "deadline", but don't pull stupid [cabbage] like that.

My 2 Battleships are complete, and are in orbit above Earth, as well as the other one that's been sitting there for a while (the crew must be incredibly bored by now). Not much else to say, research continues on all mentioned projects, new gun line coming soon, blahblah.
