I made the original factbook a while ago from a different region where I either found the template or was given permission ( I honestly don’t remember)

Refounded in Osiris, must've CTEd a while ago.

Like your flag though. The crown and the Japanese chrysanthemum symbol gives a lot of detail about your nation :)

Thanks :)
It’s one of my favorite flags that I’ve made

Yea, we are both from the Region NWU, I left and came here and we got back in touch after he got some nice upgrades to his computer.

I just remembered that fact from Discord.

Never mind all that, he's cool.

One is clearly worse than the other.

Yes, most don’t realize how much the GDP has risen in the last couple of decades. In 1970 (just 50 years ago) the GDP per capita in the USA was only $3520, Canada’s was $2240 and Mexico’s was only $470. The lowest in the Western Hemisphere was Bolivia with only $160.

A puppet tg'd me saying that people were planning to ruin my RP and talking trash on discord. So far nothing has happened

I realized that when going through the Wikipedia page on GDPs on a timeline. It’s impressive how far collective GDP per capita went up, especially when you see them double between decades

Part of that is inflation at play. You want to make sure you are looking at charts based on Real GDP, not just Nominal. Still growth is cumulative. An average of 2% per year growth sees a doubling effect in only 35 years, as per the mathematical rule of 70.

To explain, if you have a percentile annual growth rate for any given element of...anything, really...you can divide 70 by the number of the percentage and you get how long that thing will take to double in years. So at a growth rate of 1%, it's 70 years. 2%, 35 years. 7%, 10 years. And so on. This is why growth rates over 5% are seen as amazing, and anything nearing 10% (especially if it remains that way long term) is a RIDICULOUS amount of growth. Imagine if your income was rising at 10% a year: in only 7 years, you'd DOUBLE your real income from the starting point.

Consider where Japan was in 1945 compared to 1975, or where South Korea was 50 years ago compared to now.

I don't care about other stuff, but I always imagined Tea War of 1821 between Liba Hangate (plus five other pitiful states) and the Nyssic Colonial Empire being taught in history classes of every Isles nation.

Some Random Teacher: These Magaratis and Noronnicans were such bleeping-heads that they fought a Tea War

Still waiting for the Great Emu War equivalent in Ainslie

Dude, haven't you read the news about the Hornet War happening in AM right now...

Only thing I’ve been thinking of doing with others is having my guy develop the specifics of the Buzz-Indenats party link and making it more international before I keep running with that domestic storyline.

Talking trash, as in us coming up with questionable ideas we probably wouldn’t seriously follow through with has definitely happened. Other than that, I don’t think talking trash is the right word for what we’ve been thinking of doing in the alternative businesspersons’ society.

As for “ruining your RP”, as long as storylines like this are developing in meaningful ways and not like the classic oversimplified romance storyline, I don’t see the likelihood of the RP being ruined as quite high.

Of course though, if you don’t want me to proceed with the drug storyline, I can pull that out of my plans.

Not happening

Not as funny. That's actually a threat I'd actually take seriously. Keep those spawns of Satan in AM and kill'em all.

We are doing the best we can ICly.

It's not our fault if these hellspawns spawn in your nation...

I've heard rumours of the same. I don't think that would be a cool move, both in terms of morality and ruleswise. I think anyone who did it would earn themselves a banject. Don't worry.

I seriously doubt that anybody in the region would try to deliberately sabotage another person's RP.

I think there's at least one or two people who would.

I really wish I was in the league atm to throw some objections at Menna shuli saying he would execute foreign nationals...

Um what drug storyline? If your character starts doing drugs he'll be kicked out of school. If he wasn't a minor he'd get arrested.

That has flown a bit under the radar. Lol
