[HeySeuss]

Today, I should have tables made so I can start rolling economic traits...but tomorrow I may be scarce since I am expecting to get slammed at work and I am not generally much good on busy restaurant days. I'll try to get militarily set up as well.

For the economies, I will roll for what sort of economy it is, in terms of the nation's largest sectors. Then I will roll natural resources and otherwise determine specific industries.

Militaries will work in a similar way, but I haven't nailed down the details.

Okay, so why do some have more industries than others? Because one of the roll options is to add another roll (only once.) Of course, the same dynamic will apply to militaries as well -- it literally all is random ass luck.

If you really don't like the industries, your leader can always work to change them...these assignments are starting points, but they are yours to do with as you please. Develop them, strangle the golden goose, rob Peter to pay Paul and so forth. You will be able to play through changing the economy, but not without consequences.

This is, basically, a starting point to work with.

Name: Socialist State of Ugurcain
Demonym: Ugurish
Description:
Ugurcain was originally a Spanish colony, and was named after a native word for the Spanish colonists. After independence was granted in 1896, the government changed from Republics to Kingdoms in a few short years. Finally, in 1904, after four years of anarchy, a Kingdom was made. When the First World War broke out, they remained neutral, but it was a haven of spies from the Central and Entente. During the Interbellum, they reinforced their army, navy, and created an air force (Which consisted of four stolen biplanes and ten Zeppelins.) But in 1924, Communist rebels who had been given hope by the Russian Revolution rose up. After five bloody years of conflict, the Royal Family of Ugurcain was disposed of. The Royals fled to the United Kingdom in exile. During World War II, they assisted the Soviet Union, sending two regiments to the Eastern Front. When the War ended and the Cold War began, Ugurcain became a Warsaw Pact sympathizer country.

Leader:

Age: 31

A22: Joined the Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti (KGB) when he was 19, duly working on weeding out Abwehr spies. After the war was over, he was assigned a desk job until he was assigned to monitor Ugurcain
B10: During his assignment, the KGB ordered the assassination of the former leader, who was leaning toward the US. He was appointed the Chairman of Ugurcain.
C2: Due to being in the back-end of the Soviet puppet states, he is usually left alone to manage his country in a respectable, Communist manner. He usually spends most of the days working in his office, trying to improve Ugurcain.
D13: Running a country and having to deal with his Soviet handlers, it takes pressure on him, and swearing helps to let that pressure ease.

[TheIronRuler]

Hey!
So what I understand from it is that my main industry is tourism (I can have that mountain a pilgrimage site for some saints that came there or a Jesus relic), and Sex tourism? What do you mean by sex tourism?
Also - I can start industries in my island - like mining industries and tobacco industries as I progress? This sounds really neat!

[HeySeuss]

Sex Tourism means that the place is a destination for people who want to hire prostitutes. And yes, you can develop the other resources listed as well. You can shift primary industries, but that requires some RPing.
