Wait, one second. Do you have any short-ranged interceptor fighter jets? I will pay 20% more than Scandanavia for them.

I do. But Mather has already purchased them. You can talk to him about buying them.

The tax is about 35% actually (it really is).

 

All payment is to be in currency Dusty.

 

Retech; I can sell you some Saab Gripen.

Mather might not have the money to do so...

Mather, wouldn't that mean that you'd be burdened by disadvantages other nations don't have as a result of your higher tax rate? What's a Saab Gripen?

(mather it would be easier on all of us if you just used the 20% tax rate as it is a simple act of division to find your budget). The FETD has adopted Germany's three child policy in hopes of bolstering their aging populations.

I thought all international trades were in gold?

Oh and I didn't notice there was already a trade group for Europe. So, just ignore the European Trading Bloc (it never happened! The trade was a lie!). The SSR joins the Free European Trade Association (FETA). I say FETA because it is easier to remember than FETG. Just think PETA without the crazy!

Archi whats that gold website you linked that had all the gold?

 

And Mather what countries are in "scandinavia"

I'm pretty sure that all international trade goes in dollars. It would make it much easier that way.

Finland, Norway, Sweden and denmark are the countries currently under his control.

Taxes are accepted at that level because of the level of healthcare, etc.

 

A Saab Gripen is a Swedish fighter produced by Saab.

Correct, but that doesn't mean that you'd have a bigger budget which is expendable.

South Africa is frightened by the brutal and total destruction of Somalia and Ethiopia. It seeks a military partner and finds one in Japan. Some Japanese ships head to South Africa, though no soldiers are sent.

 

Timeline:

1 year: Defensive pact (Japan defends South Africa, not vice versa)

2 years: Military Integration

5 years: Japanese aid to relieve poverty/infrastructure building reaches peak

10 years: Serious talks on political integration

15 years: Successful political integration

 

Fair or unfair?

Actually taxes are at 45.2%, my mistake.

 

Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Greenland, Finland and Iceland are under my control.

Mather has 243.3 Tonnes in gold, thats not 30 billion

 

Greenland nor Norway were in the table

Still I should be able to pay him in USD, shouldn't I?

Japan taking over south Africa... :wall:

 

Fine, I will accept 1/10th (3 billion - 90 tonnes) worth of gold, and the rest in currency.

 

Also, I am definitely not accepting USD. That stuff is worthless paper.

Mather with those high taxes certain Danish citizens might be interested in imigrating to Germany. The FETD has changed it's name to the Sovereign Nations Alliance. The SNA offers protection to French north africa.

Well I can't let it blown up and destroyed by a coalition, now can I? :thumbsup:

Besides, the timetable is 15 years. Does that sound fair to everyone?

No you can't pay him gold reserve is your ENTIRE budget, in one currency, so no you can't pay him

The Danes must be happy after all texes were set to those used in Norway, they had a massive 58% max tax.

 

Scandinavia pays Dusty 30b, 9/10 USD, 1/10 gold.

Gold reserve is not your entire budget. 1% of GDP is essentially your entire budget. Otherwise you're saying that Japan is poorer than Switzerland?

Okay then as the northern states cannot pay as of now Germany offers to buy the lot for 21 billion dollars and several barrels of fine german ale. On a side note here is the link archi posted to peoples gold reserves http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_reserve

EDIT: Retech it is roughly 1/25 of your gdp if you use a 20% tax and spend 4/5 of it on upkeep.

Mather you don't have enough money, and yes, the gold reserve is our money in one currency

No you can't pay him gold reserve is your ENTIRE budget, in one currency, so no you can't pay him

Nah gold reserves are just a stabilization thing to peg your currency off of and hold so that your currency maintains its worth.

Grim you can't change a trade alliance into a military one.

The SSR leaves the FETD. I've also decided not to adopt the Europe (it didn't happen again, I can do this because I'm awesome). The currency for the SSR will be the Slavic Leu (SL). It is worth the same as the Euro.

 

*sigh*

 

The SSR accepts Scandinavia's 90 tonnes of gold and 27b in smelly USD. Sere better get his economy on track or I'll be distributing these as toilet paper.

When was gold the only method of trading? Fifty billion dollars in gold is just as good as fifty billion dollars in Yen. Anyways, I basically said 1% to make it easier, since many countries are in debt. Anywho, Japan again offers to purchase the short ranged interceptor fighters.

You were in FETD? Bah I meant to say membership (It was a change of name give me a break)

EDIT: FWTA now exists (I changed European with world wide deal) but the Franco-German alliance is now a seperate military alliance.
