China, before you go and annex stuff, you REALLY need to sort out your issues, and have you stopped being communist yet, generally countries don't like to turn communist, sorry to point out

Here's the new updated map, including countries that are about to convert regardless of what basically happens. I also added India, and took off Australia as a nation (still there as a continent)

How many days has it been since we started?

The map that Retech posted was scaled down, so it makes colouring it in impossible, so I'm basing this off Arch's (which didn't get distorted):

 

[hide=World Map][/hide]

Can someone pwease use Sere's map? This one has no australia, and my empire is not colored in .

I'm not going to continue playing, so, as per rules on the frontpage, Australia has now ceased to exist. It sank into the ocean for some reason.

I think it should mean that changes made to the country should be erased. Otherwise we'll have sinking continents. <_< Oh no, another Atlantis!

 

-If a player quits or becomes inactive, his country disappears. I know many will oppose this law, but I assure you it is the best way.

 

 

Nope. Australia sinks into the ocean, miraculously managing to not cause mass flooding and global apocalypse.

Can't we just have someone else take over Australia (an actual player that starts it as his first country) if someone comes along? We could have Australia as a giant radioactive wasteland for now. Besides, country doesn't mean continent.

Sigh...Retech gets a free hand in Asia it seems...Only China, India and the USA can contain this rampant being.

 

 

Switzerland dispatches ships to investigate what happened to Australia... While there they stumble on Australias Gold and forget about investigating and go home. Report says 'Australia sank into the ocean because we are characters in a fictional game, called Hegemony, and the character, who we believe is called Rosco, who controlled Australia, gave up, and invoked the 'First page rule' that nations giving up would be erased from the game'

Clearly it was a gold digging expedition with people far more interested in roleplaying tha scientific discovery....However, even as this report, going to no one imparticular, is being typed by me, someone without a name or identity, someone who's wife's name of ERROR404, might be considered a joke....I can't help but think that someone is telling me what to write, creating me within their mind because their game of Star Trek Online failed to work because of their University's Firewall...Thinking if only they lived in this fictional world, where Star Trek Online worked with the Universities Firewall... But I digress.. The investigation has improbable conclusions, but are strangely compelling, for some unknown reason....

 

Switzerland recieves 50 Tonnes of 79 Tonnes of Gold.

Current gold is 840 Tonnes.

How about we just make the rule that when you quit you can't just give your entire country away to someone. Since that was the big problem with the last hegemony where Doom managed to inherit an entire continent, and Sere managed to get an illogical group of countries spread out across the world, and with cultures that shared next to nothing in common.

Hey Dusty, you inherited Bangladesh and India didn't you?

Which I promptly gave up, not after everyone tried to cut it up and grab as much of it as possible (why would Delhi seceed from Mumbai? Haha!).

(erm actually sere did and I ended up buying the land from him for a relatively cheap price)

Switzerland sets up an Espionage Network in Japan.

Work commences on the Infinate Improbability machine. It is Infinately Improbable that it will ever be finished, but may come in handy at some point.

How many days has it been since we started?

 

 

It has been 3 hours since 2012.

 

@Ross:

 

That rule just means that if you quit, your nation reverts back to where it is no longer player-controlled. It doesn't literally disappear.

 

The USA has offered aid to Switzerland in order to protect the interests of smaller nations.

 

It is called the 'Big Brother League'.

(erm actually sere did and I ended up buying the land from him for a relatively cheap price)

It went like so:

 

-Adrenal was inactive, so a bunch of people were eyeing his land

-They invade India, and debate over cutting it up which way so everyone gets a piece

-I notify Adrenal, considering its his country and all, offering to take temporary governship over it until it gets back, so that its nobodys country, but I'm defending it

-He posts giving me the country completely (which I didn't really want)

-Everyone gets mad at me

-I get annoyed and so finally give it to Japan (since giving it to Britain seemed incredibly illogical)

-Britain and Japan merge, Britain gets India (zzz)

-Britain sells it to you

Switzerland is currently ok, thank you Sere. If we can get enough gold together we can put an end to our debt and begin working to destroy debt elsewhere....but I would rather not get into debt while doing it.

And I'd rather not see Arch buildup a large stockpile of gold, considering that last thing he tried to do with his was crash the entire economy of Europe.

I have to agree with Dusty on that...giving me Gold is like giving Americans the Atom Bomb....Probably a good idea, but there is always a chance that, one day, they will threaten the entire planet, for ideological reasons.

Brazil continues doing the logical improvements I said before.

SSR starts research into a new variant of the AK47, which will be cheap and easy to produce, fire a higher calibre bullet, and be an extremely sturdy weapon (much like the AK is today).

 

SSR has also loosened up on gun control, allowing citizens to own as many guns as they want by going through a background check, and taking to proper firearm safety courses.

Germany offers 75 million for the lot of it.

Better first offer :P

Btw, to Icu. You paid what was it...21 tonnes or something in gold for the last batch of military equipment? Regardless of what Arch said that isn't that much for Russia. You still have roughly 600 tonnes of gold in reserve.

Plans to incorporate the F-22 into the USAF is going underway. (although it's happening in real life. heh)

 

The United States is also trying to merge with Canada.

 

The NAP has successfully passed a bill that bans political lobbying. Some companies have protested against this action by stating that it is 'unfair'. However, the White House retorted by saying "Money isn't a vote anymore, now is it? Shame."

 

There are massive Islamic protests throughout Europe, although the protests aren't very prevalent in Britain due to the BNP's policies.

 

The Dominican Republic would like to thank all nations that helped it recover from its 8.3 Richter-scale earthquake last year. The nation is still rebuilding what was lost, however.

 

The ANTF has found that North Korea was indeed trying to continue its nuclear program, which it claimed was for nuclear power only. The UN urges all nations to immediately place economic sanctions against North Korea, as well as a potential blockade. Uranium is a contraband in the region, as of February 2012 (the current game date).

 

The solar flare will strike in 3 months (about 11 and a half hours from now).

 

Here's a little information about how the game progresses as far as time is concerned:

 

2 days are equivalent to 1 game year.

4 hours of real time are equivalent to 1 month in the game.

 

The game was created around 6 PM (-6 GMT/CST).

The PRC begins precautions against the solar flare.
