Australia issues a prompt "Wtf Mate?" to the world, and then begins talks with Indonesia about joining Australia. Goal is to have the two countries under the same flag by 2030.

 

All my research continues as per usual. Digging of canals etc.

 

A new military system is being sorted out, to be announced when all the new equipment is issued. The new range of guns is coming along nicely.

No one cares that my last prom in junior high totally sucked?

 

I thought everyone's did... But usually if people want to talk about stuff on forums they just talk about stuff, then people can choose to read it or not, rather than having to ask....

 

Goal is to have the two countries under the same flag by 2030.

I think that is a realistic time scale.

 

To decide the most evolved one must see how many syllables one can squeeze into a simple sentance.

Its more a matter of vocabulary... English can describe things with more detail than most other languages, without over complicating it with mascline and femine words, instead using lexigraphy and phonetic reasoning to construct sentances which sound pleasant to the ear.

Rather, say, French with is long 'errrrrrs' dotted about sentances while they think how to phrase something....Seriously, sounds like a motor. =P

But anyway, the point is that English is merely a good language to use because of its massive vocab and relatively simple rules when speaking (Writing is a different matter)

Russia asks about Romania's weapon market, sounds interesting

 

Russia also removes the embassy from Japan, as we're worried of our ambassadors lives in the current warzone that is Asia.

Russia also offers a place to stay for all refugees in this war, and offers countries if Russian intervention is something that they might want.

 

The 2012 solar flare will be combated in Russia by

 

Well were just going to allow a fail safe on ALL Russian electronic items, this wont take to long, not even a year. The fail safe will allow electronic goods to safely power down without causing any complications for when they turn on (mainly for things such as missile bases (non nuclear) and other things like important military/intelligence bases). On the day scheduled that it will happen, Russia will turn all electronic devices off, and will have a day or two in which no body goes to work. Though this is terrible for our production, its only a couple of days, and it will boost the hell out of morale :D

Icownage, how would you feel about signing a pact prohibiting the use of war as "an instrument of national policy"?

You realise that putting failsafes on every electronic device in russia would be almost impossible, right?

 

Anyways, people in Australia are being warned to turn their electrical items off until it's over, or risk losing them.

Fine just the important ones, military and intelligence ones

 

As I'm pretty sure there are computers that if they go down will F up everything

 

We urge everyone to do the same

There is no problem with space stuff (as in what we have now).

 

There is a catch, though:

 

-An international treaty banning weapons in space.

-The fact that we won't have interstellar travel for a long, long time.

Ico, what about the treaty?

 

Stay Tuned for a Swiss Public Address Broadcast....

 

Switzerland begins operation Solar Furnace. The plan is to create nine satalites in orbit, six of which will reflect sunlight to the main three, which will focus sunlight to a facility in Swizerland, near Basel, on the Rhine.

A massive concave dome has been built over the area, with a large hole in(at about 47 degrees elevation) where the first solar beam will be focused.

The water will be boiled, then condense on the dome, running down the sides, and collecting at the bottom, where it will be dropped vertically down a 3 KM shaft containing a number of turbines.

At the bottom of said shaft there will be a trough between this chamber and the next chamber. The next chamber will have another 3KM shaft to the Surface. This second shaft will be capped with a slanted transparent covering and entrance to another chamber and the second solar beam will be focused on the shaft, heating the cavern of water, evapourating it, and then again condensing it in the third chamber, out of the direct solar beam.

This cavern will lead to another 3 KM shaft, which will have another cavern at the bottom, connected to another caven again, with a final 3 KM shaft.

This final shaft opens to the surface, allowing the water vapour to return to the ecosystem.

 

 

This has a side effect of the Rhine being dried up or depleted, and Switzerland is willing to provide compensation to Germany, France and the Netherlands for this.

 

 

This plan will come into effect in 2 years(4 days(2nd of Feb) and is costing 70% of the Swiss Budget for those two years. However the output is sufficent to power Switzerland indefinately, as well as supply a surplus, for free, to Lichtenstein, and to export to France, Italy, Germany or Austria.(I haven't worked out their energy requirements, if it is small enough then I will provide free energy to France and Germany for stealing their River...though it is my river...technically)

 

1 Kg of Water = 1/100th of a Cubic Meter of Water

2000 M^3/s(speed of the Rhine) * 100 = 200,000 Kilograms of Water/second

200,000 Kg * 6,000(Drop length) = 1,200,000,000 Newtons = 1,200,000,000 Joules

1,200,000,000 * 31,536,000 (Seconds in a year) = 37,843,200,000,000,000 Joules

Swiss Energy requirement of 60 Billion kWh = 216,000,000,000,000 Joules per year

 

Thus Switzerland currently has a surplus of 175.2%. 1% of that is being diverted to CERN(in 2 years) to cut expenditure on the PA projects by 90%.

 

 

That is all.

Treaty?

On the lighter side I have finally tied the string around my chair and the table, so I should stop getting so irritable after the first half hour. =P

Icownage, how would you feel about signing a pact prohibiting the use of war as "an instrument of national policy"?

[spoiler=Why prom sucked]I asked the girl I've been in love with for the last 12 years to dance when that time came only to be told she was going to dance with one of her friends. I litterally went into shock (the kind the body induses to keep the mind from experiencing severe pain), I was crying and shaking for almost one hour afterwards. My "luck" later decided it would be fun with some irony too: She randomly stopped by when I was singing Min første kjærlighet(my first love) by Jan Theigen to SingStar.

Let's just say I cried myself to sleep that night.

 

 

The Scandinavian governement starts putting up warnings on TV, radio and billboards that during the Mayan "doomsday" all electrical/electronical devices must be turned off.

Also each household is given 500,000 kr each in an attempt to completely iradicate poverty, if anyone manages to loose that money on gambling, drugs, etc. they are to be shipped to a sort of boot-camp on Greenland where they shall work in Comunistic -ish environements.

Can you give me examples of war I am not allowed to do? I'm not good with political words

 

@Mather

 

Oh man, that sucks, but the prom isn't the only time you can announce your like for someone. I'm sure another time will come

Ico-

Any war at all...Its basically saying 'Look, we don't believe that war is ever a good idea and we renounce ever resorting to it' Self-defence is obviously fine though....Its a symbolic agreement more than anything, if you break it nothing bad happens...well except people tut. =P

 

Mather!!!!!!!

You are mad! Totally mad! Inflation will destroy your country!

Sorry to hear about Prom...I think I didn't go to mine because I knew that the guy I liked wasn't going so there wasn't a whole lot of point...

Hmmm this treaty pretty much prohibits a lot.

 

I will sign only if all members of the TFTA sign

Well its a plan....I just need a name for it and so I want to call it the Cabbigas-Russian Minister name Pact in tradition with the Kellogg-Briand Pact, where I got the idea from.

Russia asks if they can change the treaty so it also states that Russia can go to war, if a nation asks it to ally with them in the war, so if anyone wants me to join in, I can

What treaty?

 

(If you're talking about the space treaty, it already exists in real life because of the Cold War or something like that.)

Ico-

Its more a 'We don't ever plan to go to war...' Its an idealist statement which is supposed to provoke peace and harmony....

Oh man, that sucks, but the prom isn't the only time you can announce your like for someone. I'm sure another time will come

You mean times like last year, random days and constantly through my MSN personal message?

 

Archi:

I won't need to make that money in mints, Norway has the second highest GDP per capita with the other Scandinavian countries close by, if anything that will pay back with interest due to people bying more services with that money as well as the people who due to that amount has to pay higher fortune taxes if it is used on houses, cars, etc.

 

Also I think you just told us more than you inteded to when telling about your prom.

Mather, if you give everyone 500,000 kr, then everyone is 500,000 kr richer...meaning that they are more willing to spend money, meaning that shops can charger higher prices....So the cost of living increases and everyone becomes poorer because now they can't afford what they used to be able to afford, once the 500,000 kr has run out.

Mather, in what way did I reveal more than I should have?

Archi, wouldn't those huge shafts take a few more than two years? I mean, we all know how incompetant builders and construction workers are.
