The thing is that you cannot afford all these things! It's not about the technology. Basically you're spending 55 billion a year using a 300 billion dollar economy. That is definitely not sustainable.

 

That reminds me, when is the technology finished Dusty?

No, it's just ridiculous that all your people work for free, and then you expect the quality of your stuff to be the same as before. Why would someone go to college for like 8 years when they could expect the same quality of life if they just finished high school? And the excuse of patriotism or nationalism is just stupid

 

Plus the fact that you're telling us we need to spend 40 days researching something you spent like 2 years on.

Yup. This has degenerated entirely. 'Ahh people are doing stuff we don't understand! What do we do!?' 'Just steal their ideas, pass them off as your own and then beat them until they give up.' 'Yeah thats a good idea, there are 20 of us and one of him, obvouisly we deserve his power, he is just being selfish'

Well he'd have to start over again, but I suppose so.

Well then you had the option to pick a more powerful country. You picked your country, you can't complain now.

And India could eventually, but not immediately.

Scandinavia launches a probe to Titan.

Nah, they will just whine about how India is too overpowered...the real problem is not what I am doing, it's that it doesn't fit with their world view.

 

Sides I could just post 'Switzerland passes all research to India and becomes a protectorate.' and then carry on exactly how I am... Why Switzerland would do that is a mystery, but does it really matter? How the P-Jet works is a mystery to everyone bar me and Sere, yet they all seem to have it.

Do you know how to design a tank in real life? No?

Hm, Switzerland no longer has any tanks.

Do you know how to build a plane exactly, all the specifications, and how to fly it? No?

Switzerland doesn't have any planes.

 

Putting a limit on what technology your country can develop based solely on the player's real life knowledge is Stupid, with a capital S.

No, you're just being illogical and stubborn.

It's already done.

I honestly have no problem with p-jets for the sole reason that they are incredibly easy to destroy with the right tools...

Yeah but those tools will take you 40 years to develop, even if it takes Switzerland only a day.

Dusty... I already have them developed.

And there in lies the crux of this game.

Dusty... I already have them developed.

Oh, well, did you describe exactly how they work, what functions they have, what materials they need, the cost, the process for building them, and any other nuanced details about them to Sere? Because if you haven't then, according to Arch, you can't have them.

I'll give you a hint :They are from last game. Also I have already told their schematics to sere and he should have approved... even though he hasn't gotten back to me.

Well...err...that was interesting.

Current Japanese GDP is 11.19 trillion (rounding from the calculator) as of the end of this year (2018).

 

Money Distributed

Total Budget: 111 billion

Project Monarch Butterfly: 80 Billion

Project Coccoon: 10 Billion

Joint Project with Brazil: 10 billion

10 billion for random stuff

Rocco, ok, fine. The P-Jets in service ceases to exist.

All the production instead went into the Opaque Ionosphere Shield around Switzerland, the Archologies Projects, the Particle Weapons projects, and of course the Mars Mission.

As such Switzerland is now a reflective dot on the map

It produces 100% of its own food, including some luxury foods, the Archology project is now set for complete completion in 2028 at which point Switzerland will have enough food, of all types, to survive indefinately.

Particle Guns can shoot down super sonic, hyper sonic and ineed just about any other speed aircraft, blow up any tank known today, and kill any solider/robot/cyborg/animal or other being.

The Mars Mission will arrive in 2021.

 

All projects have had 2 years taken off of them(All of them, except the Mars mission, have been going on since the Basel Dam), since we have been playing for 10 and a half years. Meaning I am losing 2 1/2 years worth of game play...so I will invest that into annexing Abysinia.

How big is the standard particle gun that you're describing?

Oh, P-Jets don't exist! Hooray!

 

So Doom, do you still want to continue the project for its other uses? Maybe we should cut the funding down to 5 billion each?

Switzerland bombs Toyko with the P-Jets before they become none existant. Down below the empore runs screaming for his life as a missile of pure Acid blows up, evapourating the entire city.

King Archi smiles broadly as reality slowly disintergrates and then reintergrates and he finds himself dully looking over the crop reports...still he feels better for some reason.

I think someone has lost his touch with reality. :P

 

(Not to ruin your fun, but the emporer lives in Kyoto :thumbsup:)

So are the particle guns like rifle size or cannon size to destroy any tank?

They come in three flavours, as has been posted before, with pictures.

Blasters, which are shoulder mounted cannons used for blowing away buildings and such... It is accurate up to 2,000 yards and fires 3 rounds

Rifles, which are similar to Assult Rifles, except each bullet penetrates 10 inches of Titanium at 500 yards. It has a sniping function, as well as rapid fire. It is accurate up to 2,000 years and has 200 rounds.

Pistols, the weakest of the set, will shoot though anything short of an inch of titanium at point blank ranges. It is accurate up to 2,000 yards and has 9 rounds.

So basically slightly improved versions of rocket launchers, rifles, and pistols?

If my slightly you mean heavily then yes. Since no one knows about them(I am just informing you because it seems the only way) no one can copy them. Course you will all have this brilliant brainwave to develop particle weapons now but hey, what can I do about that.

Meh if you can do that then my research about p-jets is magically transformed into particle weapons and an alternate means of space transportation (I am thinking mass drivers)

The United Federation vetoes the embargo between Abyssinia and Switzerland.

Yeah sure whatever.

By the way, if you ever need to justify your sudden research into particle jets, amounting to about an hour, then the P is for Particle...

Oh, and that is of course assuming you had been researching alternative space exploration methods and particle weapons...otherwise not.
