No, I mean, people have listed their gold reserves, then undernearth a value of USD. What does that value represent?

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.

Well I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.

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:

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.

Hey, he sent me Krone. I wasn't going to contest it consider it's worth more than the dollar :P

 

but the fact is that South Africa has massive social inequality

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.

It 'twas a joke. And yea the amount of diversity in the way people are taking their country is quite funny. Everyone is doing something different it seems.

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

Meh. Then Scandinavia is bloody poor.

Still good to have multiple foreign currencies on reserve.

Each coin is worth less, yes, but we're rich (in comparison to population).

 

The krone only goes as low as 50 øre (half krone), where as USD goes as low as cents. 50 øre = .95 cent, thus they aren't so different at all, only balanced different.

Also the krone has a 1000 bill whereas the USD only goes to 100.

Zimbabwe has 100 trillion dollar bills. It's not really anything to be proud of.

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.

Well I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.

...If one Krone is .19 dollars, and a half Krone is .95 dollars...

 

How does that work.

 

Wait, you mean 9.5. I see now.

 

Although I fail to see the relevance of how your money is balanced vs. How much money you have.

...If one Krone is .19 dollars, and a half Krone is .95 dollars...

 

How does that work.

Economics does seem like dark magic sometimes.

Basic math fail?

 

Anyways a 1000kr bill is more than 100$.

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:

Well I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.

Anyways a 1000kr bill is more than 100$.

My £10 note is worth more than a $10. Ten of my £10 notes are worth more than ten 10$ bills.

 

Your point?

2Xeo5.png

Krones are .50, 1, 5, 10 and 20 coins and 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 notes, there's no such thing as a 10kr note.

 

Anyways here's the equivalent of 228 USD straight out of my wallet, and I've never worked (except that one week school required me to without payment):

Hmm I abandon my military production, I'd rather save up the money I had spare for a few years, which is like, 5B?

It's a REALLY big shaft.

I didn't catch fire, I used the can of hairspray as a flamethrower and pointed it at my arm.

how are you going to ignore my posts when I'm offering to let you live as my vassal in two weeks time?

Well I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.

It's worth less, but in comparison to the value of each coin compared to the USD equivalent (not numerical same) it's worth more.

Between 15 and 3 depending on the kind, 20 if it's very special.

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.

Well I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.
