I'm letting Seussie pick my position for me since A) I don't really care - don't need one specific location, B) think he's better at deciding where to place Sturvia as a counterweight to the rest of you lot! I can see you eyeballing! xD

<Snipped quote by Chapatrap> I sort of want the superpowers situated and then we'll figure out where the others go. I will step in if the process gets unruly, but if you guys can work it out on your own, I'll be happy to go along with it.

Okay. I claimed a region last night because I wasn't sure if we were choosing or not. If anyone has a problem with me settling down there, let me know and I can change immediately.

That is fine with me. Supers, we should work out geography.

I was thinking along the same lines of Sini really, but what sort of dynamic do we want from the superpowers?

Economy rolls: @Kimiyosis - Robust - The economy is in a boom, with increased employment, strong investment and production. This may be due to some sort of windfall deal that the nation got the better of, or just favorable market conditions in general. The champagne is flowing in the boardrooms right now and the nation is feeling its oats for a variety of reasons. This prosperity is also a political boon; civil unrest is easier to deal with when everyone has a full belly. @shadowkiller912 - Recession - GDP, investment spending, capacity utilization, household income, business profits, and inflation fall, while bankruptcies and the unemployment rate rise. The country is starting to grumble and wants the government to solve this problem. @Inuyasha - Recession - GDP, investment spending, capacity utilization, household income, business profits, and inflation fall, while bankruptcies and the unemployment rate rise. The country is starting to grumble and wants the government to solve this problem. @Brink_ -Depression: Sustained and long-term downturn of the economy. Abnormally large increases in unemployment, falls in the availability of credit, shrinking economic output and cut back production and investment, large number of bankruptcies, as well as highly volatile relative currency value fluctuations. The government is under considerable strain to address the issue, and its stability in power is continually threatened as long as the situation persists. @Senor Herp - Rapid Growth - The economy is performing well according either to design or accident, or a happy coincidence of both, and this situation puts money in the coffers of the nation and confidence in its citizens. @So Boerd -Slow Growth - The economy is performing adequately, though there is room for improvement. There are certain limitations on the economy that are bottlenecking real growth, such as a restriction in investment capital or insufficient demand, however. There is some unemployment and economic unhappiness among people in the lower income brackets, and there is a degree of criticism in what can go wrong, even if it hasn't gone wrong yet. @Sini -Rapid Growth - The economy is performing well according either to design or accident, or a happy coincidence of both, and this situation puts money in the coffers of the nation and confidence in its citizens. @Pepperm1nts -Recession - GDP, investment spending, capacity utilization, household income, business profits, and inflation fall, while bankruptcies and the unemployment rate rise.

Lol, Nex is China.

Pretty much. And again, I reiterate, Holtland is available as a client-state or ex-colony. If a client state, perhaps said client state was an ally in the last war. We need to also flesh that war out. Perhaps someone would like to play the rump of the nation that lost the war, akin to a West-or-East Germany?

I'll take you up for Client state.

I'll take you up for Client state.

And Sini and I were working up a deal where Holtland is a former colony; the refugees of a Sturvian invasion of Bachenburg, the original country the Holtish fled from. So they were probably working for your guys during the last war as well. It is up to you which parties in the parliament the Resian government currently supports and wishes to encourage. Most notably, military leadership is corrupt, and therefore easily influenced by outside groups. How you wish to play that is fundamentally up to you.

Sweet. Would you be fine with a naval base/listening post in your territory? (Far from populated areas, as evidently Resian sailors love to carouse on liberty.)

I will send you a PM detailing persistent Resian influence operations in Holtland.

Klassen Rock/Mesaflores is the oldest settlement in Holtland, and probably makes for the best possible place to stick a naval base in Holtland. It also happens to be the most vital arts and bar scene in the country anyway, as the place gets a lot more rednecky as one moves into the interior. On the downside, it's got a lot of Vatalans living there, potential guerrillas, though they don't mess with Klassen Rock too much because it's a good place to deal with foreign agents. So the place ought to be swimming in agents.

Works for me. I will be able to tell you how big it will be once geography is nailed down.

Lovely, robust. Trades galore~! Also probably a major target >.>

I'd also like to make my nation available as a client state, still working on it.

I will take you up on that, Wanderer.

I will take you up on that, Wanderer.

And I accept, So Boerd. I guess we should work out how I became a client state to The Resian Empire.

@HeySeuss I do believe Senor Herp has been pretty intent on playing such a state, if his OOC posts are any evidence.

Sounds good then. We essentially need to work out a world history that makes sense, probably among Senor Herp and the superpowers, and then the rest can sort of add themselves into that narrative or figure out what they were doing during the war.

Wanderer, dominion style quasi colony is probably your best bet.

Man my country is in deep doo doo
