Hey! Long time no seeing you, welcome back!
South Asian People, Jewish Sealand
Ooo thank you.
Can we be involved in BDA?
ask Speranzist
Hello
Menorica, Nihppon, Jewish Sealand
Nice, you referenced how I own Kamchatka, but I would like to say some suggestions:
1. I kinda want my countryball to be something something else rather than both just look at a sheet of paper.
2. I'm pretty sure the Exitium ship is in British Alaska right now.
These are just suggestions though. Also, I will be redrawing the map because why not.
Civaliana
Hello, majesty.
Nihppon
Not a Majesty ;p that's Hm Queen Elizabeth Iii
Menorica, Hm Queen Elizabeth Iii, Nihppon
Oh, you're flags are so similar. Sorry about that.
Hm Queen Elizabeth Iii
I love it! Thank you for adding Choseun as well
Civaliana, Jewish Sealand
Hello.
Nihppon, Jewish Sealand
Nice regional map.
Nihppon, Jewish Sealand
Hello there
Jewish Sealand
updated it with your suggestions!
Jewish Sealand
Thank you for including Exitium that is greatly appreciated.
Saint Arsenio, Nihppon, Jewish Sealand, Speranzist
What do you mean the ship is in British Alaska right now?
Joining it?
South Asian People
Isn't it?? You said it was heading for British Alaska.

This is most definitely not accurate, but I looked at the inflation rates most of the nations sent me and used that to make a guess on the currency exchange rate.
Jewish Sealand, Katyo
You have forgotten us
Jewish Sealand
Oh sh*t Katyo is the closest to your currency.
Katyo, Erabutia
How did you work this out? All the posts I've seen say you can't really calculate it.
Mother Asia, Speranzist
Lol.

I agree, sometimes messages come across rude. But it is clear that Lunayria was being quite polite and simply being curious.

Tell me where I am Rude pls.
Wait what? You serious?

I say we forget this and move on.
Ill be deleting my messages since its unnecessary for this to be in the board
Very well, I will drop the matter and do the same. There is no point in escalating this misunderstanding any further.
But this is the second time there has been a misunderstanding with how they word their messages.
Nihppon, Speranzist
Nope. I have never said it was heading towards you, I think you might be mistaken. My main ship especially wouldn't head towards you since it about 22,000 km long (It's still under constructionand is predicted to be atleast 74,000 km long). Would you mind telling me where you got your info from, thanks?
Lunayria, Speranzist, Erabutia
As of this message I've deleted the messages. I will admit that I severely overreacted to the situation and shouldn't have snapped back as I did, so I apologise for my recent actions.
I know this will just come across as an excuse, but the past few days haven't been the best for me IRL.
Mother Asia, Nihppon, Speranzist, Exitium, Erabutia
It's not an excuse and it is understandable, I hope whatever is happening to you IRL gets better.
Lunayria, Mother Asia, Nihppon, Speranzist
It is completely understandable, to be fair even I may have snapped back so don't worry.
Your excuse(i wouldn't call it an excuse but a valid reason) also understandable and I truly hope your day gets better!
anyways I hope you have a good night, it is quite late here lol
Lunayria, Mother Asia, Nihppon, Erabutia
Thank you for your kind words.
Sadly what's going on IRL isn't going to get any better it's only going to get worse over the next few years, but that's just the nature of the situation.
Mother Asia, Nihppon, Speranzist
😐
🤣
Ah well.
...
Mother Asia
Ha ha, a bit late, but my currency is the Japanese Dollar.
And I don't have idea about my inflation.
Lunayria, Mother Asia, Jewish Sealand, Speranzist
Same....IRL For Me Is Really Taking A Poll On My Social Life. Mostly Because My Teacher At School Is REALLY Annoying.
Lunayria, Mother Asia
I've certainly had my fair share of teachers I didn't get along with. Though from my experience there's not too much you can do about it.
Just out of curiosity, how is your teacher annoying?
Nihppon, Erabutia
I can only give the same advice as you.
It's something we struggle from time to time, be it on school in the form of teachers or classmates or at work with customers (in my experience) our bosses and coworkers.
You just have to carry the weight, or, even better, let it slide and not be a weight holding you down.
"We only make things as heavy as we want them to be."
My grandfather said that to my dad and uncles, and now they're passing that wisdom to us.
Lunayria
'Ello, want a custom flag like mine? Well, just telegram Kinki-Kansai and tell them your prefered colors and designs, or select from a variety of pre-made flags. Kinki-Kansai made my flag, and it's amazing (I think it is at least) So telegram Kinki-Kansai and get a custom flag in just a few minutes
P.S. Apologies for only joining to advertise
Speranzist
The fact is when I posted tat world-building question, I wasn't expecting anyone to give me any sort of inflation numbers, but a few people made up some numbers (im assuming based on economy, gdp and their government category).
Lunayria
Also, I was asleep during the drama. Can anyone get me up to speed?
Lunayria
Ok that clears it up. Thanks for telling me. I thought it would of been in British Alaska but I guess I got confused by the RMB posts I saw.
Lunayria, Exitium
Something abt rude comments Lunayria, Speranzist and Mother Asia?
Idk really
Lunayria
https://youtu.be/zfZZm0MvRmg
Ah, I get it now. It explains why the numbers seemed off.
There isn't to my knowledge any data on nationstates that tells you your inflation/currency value, the most you can do is name your currency. So any figures people come up with are strictly RP based and should be taken with a pinch of salt. I do remember seeing a website that did try calculating it but from what I remember pretty much every number seemed off. I think most people just base who has the better economy on either the "Economy" stat or the "Economic output" stat (GDP). For example, the BDA rank for the economy just uses the Economy stat. Though I prefer using the Economic output stat to measure the economy of a nation as that gives you a proper value and not a number between -5 to 110.
I've seen some nations attempt to create a proper system before but it never usually catches on. What I've seen most nations do is either say each currency is 1:1 or they "pay" each other in real-world currencies, for example, when the BDSAP agreed to build a space station we all paid in Pound sterling (£). I like doing the latter option as it bypasses the whole Currency Exchange Rate/Inflation dilemma and simplifies the RP significantly.
Honestly, nothing too interesting. For some reason, that I don't still don't understand, Mother Asia replied to my message to you saying "Say it nicer Ladd."; due to the past few days leaving me in a bad state of mind, I took the message rather personally as it seemed like they were calling me out for no reason and demanding that I do something I was already doing. I then decided to respond to Mother Asia's message expressing my frustration with their message and saying how their message was also rude. Mother Asia responded by asking if I was being serious, so I responded by saying that I was.
Shortly after, while I was editing the message to clarify my points further, Speranzist posted saying they were going to delete their messages and move on from the misunderstanding. After reading their post I reread my posts and saw how much of a fool I was being, blindly allowing myself to get caught up so deeply over a simple misunderstanding. So following in Speranzist's footsteps I deleted my posts. I have also since apologised for escalating the situation and my admittedly rude posts. I also went on to explain how the past few days haven't been good for me, which led me to get so worked up over nothing.
In hindsight, I should've just ignored the message as I wasn't in a state of mind to properly talk it out, but that's not what happened. All I've done is just made another big mess over nothing, that's all I seem to do these days.
There's nothing else to say on the matter.
Speranzist
Well, at least you guys made up and decided to move on.
Lunayria, Speranzist
Speranzist and I have decided to do so, but there has been no response from Mother Asia yet.
Mother Asia, Speranzist
Most likely because they're sleeping.
Lunayria, Mother Asia, Speranzist
Yea, you're probably right.
Speranzist
We endorse arts and culture and celebrate it, especially hentai.
Lunayria, Nihppon, Orlovckaya, Speranzist

Nihppon, Allynthia, Speranzist
Speranzist
I'm going to assume when you say "Himojr" you mean Humour.
Sadly that's not really something you can do anything about. Everyone has a different sense of humour, and not everyone will understand your sense of humour.
And to be honest, that doesn't sound too bad to me, I've had far worse teachers than that. If someone doesn't get my sense of humour I just don't tell jokes or be humorous around them, I don't see the point of trying to explain stuff to them or cater to their sense of humour. Though that has admittedly led some people to believe that I don't find anything funny, which is somewhat true; I just don't find what they find funny to be well...funny.
Just out of curiosity what is your sense of humour? Though I suppose that's not an easy question to answer.
Nihppon, Speranzist, Erabutia

Lunayria, Nihppon, Jewish Sealand, Allynthia, Speranzist
Its a basic hentai is a mandatory course to pass art school along with tentacle artistry.
Speranzist
im scared of your nation now
Jewish Sealand, Allynthia, Speranzist
Fear not, we cultivate the greatest of mangakas and artists the world has ever seen.
Speranzist
I agree with you. I dont want my nation's people being fi-tentecled??? by anime octopuses.

Hello! It's always nice to see a Royal account like this one every once awhile. To this day am I glad that the region has a Monarchy where it communicates with the public!
2023 marks Menorica being in the region for 4 Years, Menorica is proud to have King Thomas I (Of a much more earlier version of Menorica), Queen Elizabeth II (Of British Commonwealth of Free States; EoGB's Former Region), Queen Victoria, King Saint Arsenio, King William V, and now currently Hm Queen Elizabeth Iii as it's Monarch! The United Islands of Menorica And Promovia is hopeful to become a citizen under soon-new applications, and also hopeful to join The British Overseas Territories soon in the Summer!
God Save The Queen!
Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Nihppon, Jewish Sealand, Speranzist
I was honestly hurt but I do hope Lunaryia is okay and you shall be in my prayers even tho I did cry a lil because I felt offended and wanted to help. But I feel you, life is hard.
Hugs 🤗.
Im okay and I moved on.
Lunayria, Speranzist
Hey Lunaryia just out of curiosity
How much percent do you think your military holds of BDA? I wanna say like 20-30%, but I could be off or a little too high.
Im making a progress of BDAs military and their contributions just like that.
Speranzist
I'm sorry but that's not true, I'm the land of the rising anime.
Out of RP: it's just banter, I'm not really interested in competing or anything.
Jewish Sealand, Allynthia, Speranzist
Wasnt expecting the last part XD
YOOOO Barrenroads got that same issue and did the same thing too
Jewish Sealand, Allynthia, Exitium, British Alaska
Guys I made Speranzist say that lol.

Thank you. That is very kind of you. :)

why?
what was the thing you posted?
We know and completely respect Nihppon for it and for being the father of such culture, that is why Allynthia has many projects and programs relating to travelling to and learning of Nihpponese culture.

If my maths is correct my military takes up 55.147333711751% (~55.14%) of the total BDA Military forces.
The total BDA Military force without my nation currently has a strength of 58,560.13. My nation alone has a strength of 72,000.96.
The combined total of my forces and the BDA forces is 130,561.09.
Nihppon, Speranzist
The total percentage can be added to the factbook!
Lunayria
So according to that wouldn't the BDA be the 15th most in defensive forces in Nationstates
Lunayria
The issue is the figures for each nation will be constantly changing when they answer issues, so the percentages won't stay accurate for long.
That's an interesting way to view it, but sadly the BDA isn't a nation so it wouldn't count.
YOU HAVE TAKEN MY PLACE IN 9TH AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY, SPEND LESS OR I WILL CALL YOUR MANAGER!
True
and I was just comparing the strength of the BDA to other nations. So with your help the alliance is quite strong and we thank you for that
How did you the math? I have tried to know how many personnel both my nations have, but I can't find any information on Nationstates, perhaps I haven't looked enough.
Lunayria
Defense forces in trends, pretty sure
Lunayria
I don't know the exact personnel as nationstates does not provide that information, so I had to use the numbers from the defence forces' stat as I believe that represents military spending and size; It's also the only stat to go off of. The description of the stat is a bit ambiguous in its meaning so I could be incorrect.
To work it out I added up the total defence forces of each nation to get the full total of our forces.
5423.45 + 1556.77 + 4463.54 + 556.41 + 7600.62 + 9345.15 + 392.49 + 15500.14 + 1926.67 + 2992.81 + 8802.08 + 72000.96 = 130,561.09
I then divided my forces from the total to get my percentage.
72000.96 ÷ 130561.09 = 0.55147333711751 = 55.147333711751%
Nihppon, Exitium
I really need to spend more on the Military then. Thank you mate.
