Archi, almost half the countries in the world have a growth rate of over 5%. Can we drop this now? Admittedly as your gdp gets higher that can't be sustained, but oh well. Oh, and in two months, china's surplus will be about 80% of it's current gdp, according to your link a while back.

 

 

There's only enough gold in the world for like 4 trillion dollars. So your system of gold is just really limiting.

It's not like I'm going to grow at 5% forever. I stated that it was going to be for a decade, while the less developed economies in the empire mature. Then I estimate 1-2% increase in GDP.

Yeah, fine, whatever. Perpetual growth forever....

Switzerland ignores the rest of the world's slide into fantasy and remains realistic.

Without the massive growth expected by analysts after the withdrawal from Switzerland from the world economy. :P

Retech, get lost, you have done what most people never do and really annoyed me so don't joke, don't even talk to me. You have sat smugly behind your GDP and your pathetic theory of perpetual growth while I have provided your countless examples of why it is impossible. But no, thats far too complicated, far easier to just post the same imbecilic theory over and over again and announce that it will work when the massive mistake of the last 4 years is staring you in the face.

You annexed places with no real reason other than you wanted them, you throw terms around like Asian Tigers and assume that automatically gives you a monopoly on the world....

So Retech don't joke about my country, which operates on concrete facts of reality, that has actually been researched and could feasibly be applied to the real world.

 

So Retech, just back off.

Okay fine, I will. Sorry if I've offended you. I'll try to talk to you tomorrow if you feel that you want to talk to me.

Retech IS an imbecile.

Well that's very kind of you.

 

I only did what I had to do, so I don't regret being a stubborn [wagon], if that's the only way to off your "major recession" routine, and various threats that you can only make as a moderator. If you were anyone else, then I would've simply said that you were incorrect and be on my merry way, but what you were doing was controlling, not "you will probaly go into a recession" but "you will." So basically I don't regret what I did, though I'm sorry I annoyed you.

Retech, just be quiet. You've done enough to provoke people now...

We are closing off our borders to foreign troops and patrols. If the troops do not withdraw, there will be a state of war between us. Furthermore, we have cut off all communication with Scandinavia after receiving a report stating the partitioning of our country to Russia, Germany, and Scandinavia...

 

Poland has threatened war if foreign troops do not withdraw from its borders, and Poland has cut off communication with Scandinavia, Russia, and Germany.

Oh, the Olympics went over very well, there was little civil unrest, and tourism has gone through the roof since the Olympics. The Brazilian team, though not winning outright did do quite well,

The final nuclear plant has been completed, removing coal from italian skies all over the country.

 

A new botanical plant has been discovered in the waters surrounding south-east Italy, after a year or so of tinkering, our scientists have altered it's genetic to make it extremely easy to grow and highly nutricious. There have been a few.. side effects.. but nothing we don't expect to be removed soon.

 

Talks with Austria have increased in pace as both nations note the need for increased security with the colonial powers of Europe being so colonial. The merger of the two countries is being met with respect and understanding, and there have been no major protests between the powers.

 

Additional talks are being Czech Republic, urging them to consider merging into the Italian state for their own safety. The Czechs are further away from the Austrians, and the deal is strained. No progress seen this year..

 

The Italian army is restless. It does not want to fight in Poland, the weather hardly suits italians. Instead, with the new technology being developed by EGMM, an invasion force numbering 100,000 is set to land in Tunisia by March. The plan is to subjugate the country, through any means necessary, and slowly introduce western ideals and living conditions.

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.

Oof, sorry Dusty, took it from the first post and assumed it was the most recent.

Spain buys 50,000 troops (can i ? )

You raise your own armies from your own people, you don't need to 'buy them' Just arm them with weapons...which you can buy from Dusty at very competative rates.

Then Spain trains 50,000 of its civilans to become soldiers and arms them with the basic AK-47

Just like that.

Friendship and harmony is my only life line when my Grim invades and blows up my electric plant... :thumbdown:

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.

He'll just reverse engineer the portal exit in Berlin so that it becomes a portal entrance to anywhere in the world.

I didn't even realize that thing can carry on through different threads. Next it'll pop up in Dungeoneering.

Something seemed to escape my mouth there, I believe it is what you people refer to as a 'laugh'. Hm, most disturbing.

I SECRETLY REVEAL MY NUCLEAR ARSENAL RIGHT BEHIND YOU
