Nuremgard wrote:Because if we left, we wouldn't need to pay for Trident, the House of Lords, Westminster, illegal wars, vanity projects for London and the South East, the monarchy (that one's debatable.) Furthermore, we'd be in total control of all our finances and resources. No more sending money to Westminster and getting pocket money back. We could also establish an oil fund.

Scottish Tax Revenue, from the Scottish government's website is £57,743 million, according to Alex Salmond it costs Scottish taxpayers £168 million. That's not really that much even in comparison to the Scottish overall tax revenue not including North Sea Oil revenues. Illegal wars don't effect the Scottish economy but if you mean it from a social context the rest of the UK feels pretty much the same, London will of course have projects but so does the rest of our country. You get more money into Scotland than you give to Westminster.

England hasn't run a surplus in centuries. How can you say that you make enough to keep Scotland like a bride? The UK is up to its eyeballs in debt. And if you're trying to say most of that debt was accumulated by Scots, a tiny minority of the British population, then I'm the Queen of the Sheba.

But even so, if your argument that Scotland gets more out of the Union than it puts in was true, I'd still want independence. I do not want to live in a country that needs to be subsidised by another country. That is just sad and humiliating. I'd rather my country was poor but independent in that instance.

I never said anything at all related to the first paragraph. And I understand you would still want independence, the point is Westminster is not hiding your secretly massive GDP.

Yes you did. You said Scotland gets more than it puts in, effectively saying it's subsidised by England. I was saying how England is so much in debt it cant even afford to pay for itself, never mind other home nations.

Yeah it's subsidized lol, but that wasn't in the first paragraph, read it again. The UK's debt to GDP ratio is the same as every other power in Europe, and France's is higher.

And you're content to subsidise Scotland because...?

Nuremgard wrote:And you're content to subsidise Scotland because...?

Different regions get different subsidization for a variety of reasons as any other part of the UK would do. You're thinking as a Scotsman, I'm thinking as a Briton - and it's OK for you not to, that's not the point, I'm just saying there's two sides to the coin.

Hmm. Who will Tangshan support? Rebels or a fellow autocratic Supreme General? :P

Cultural reasons, mainly. Most people don't have pigs, cows, or chickens as pets, and if they do, they likely don't plan on eating them.

The new policy page is very cool and useful but I learned a few things about my nation.

Nuremgard does not allow smoking, even in private (which is bizarre since I thought I only banned it in public areas) and it has no judiciary. Don't ask me how that works.

Also don't ask me how Tangshan can allow same-sex marriage but have gay relationships illegal at the same time. And apparently Tangshan has no prisons.

And for some reason, the game thinks Saor Scotland is an autocratic monarchy.

Yeah, I have the same problem with the smoking thing, but other than that, it seems reasonably accurate for Jaslandia. And it's good for keeping track of things in your nation. I just wish each policy also came with an explanation (for example, which Issue enacted this policy, and which Issue can reverse it).

I know there's one Issue about the monarchy (the one where some country bumpkin is revealed as the heir to the throne), so I assume it mainly goes by that. There may be other Issues at play as well (though I don't know which ones), and it might also take into account nation pre-titles (like 'Kingdom' or 'Queendom').

I just had a thought. Saor Scotland has switched between monarchy and republic quite a lot. Maybe I've answered a royalist issue when it was a monarchy and it's stuck for now. And it has swapped from democracy to dictatorship quite a lot so maybe the game is assuming it's an autocracy until further issues.

I wonder how I can re-establish my judiciary and allow smoking in private. And I see the game shows if you provide maternity leave but not paternity leave. Nuremgard provides both. I guess fathers don't matter? lol

1. Yeah, that's probably the case. The one monarchy issue I can think of doesn't come up too often, so unless the game takes into account stuff like pre-titles, your policy will be probably be stuck at monarchy/autocracy until you get the relevant Issue to change it.

2. I know there's at least one smoking Issue, but I think I chose the 'no public smoking' option as well, and it shows smoking is banned. Maybe it takes into account all smoking-related Issues, and if you have a pattern of anti-smoking policies (like both banning public smoking and forbidding cigarettes from being advertised to kids), then smoking gets banned.

Percyton's 'policies' are so weird now. It says Percyton is an autocracy (which isn't really true; we're not the most democratic nation, and un-elected people do have a lot of power, but we still allow elections and for elected officials to hold influence), and yet we allow public protest and have no jails. So you're allowed to protest, but due to being an autocracy, your protests don't make a difference? And how could we even enforce an autocracy without prisons and jails?

Thomas: In another bit of weirdness, polygamy is allowed, but adultery isn't. So basically "You can be in a relationship with as many people as you want, but if you don't have a piece of paper for all those people, your a** is going to jail".

There is no mention of public dissent on Nuremgard's page. This is probably because we don't allow "unfettered" public protest as the banner says. Our protests are monitored by the police.

The next feature should be one which gives you greater control over taxation.

And that's why you should always be careful when hauling hazardous materials. Sodor's engines handle trains of hazardous materials like oil fuel and uranium, but we're always careful by going at a slower speed, and ensuring that the tankers are properly sealed.

No emigration is a bit of a problem, but other than that, I don't see anything too unusual. You have some bad policies that I/Jaslandia disagree with, but nothing that would be bad enough for Jaslandia to take serious interest.

On a further note, considering you sending those steam engines to Percy a little while ago, and before that sending Jerry, it seems like your trains have more freedom of movement than your people. lol

Genocide, harsh political repression, bombing and other attacks on civilians, etc. That kind of stuff. And even then, we may not intervene: If the threat appears to be serious and calculated, then we'll likely get involved; but if the threat is more cartoonishly evil (like old Spanelsko or North Korea), there's a good chance we'll stay out. Jaslandia just isn't a big fan of foreign intervention.

We don't like Tangshan, but I guess we never considered Tanghsan since it doesn't appear to be on the regional map. And even if it were, we likely wouldn't be the first to act: Unilateral action is another thing Jaslandians don't like. We'd much rather just jump on the bandwagon than be a global leader.

Well he isn't King yet. But the royalist faction has agreed to speak in his favour and they say they will try to convince the Party to allow the monarchy a greater say in government. This is going to piss off the statists though (they're the dominant party faction.)

The Party has many factions. Royalists want the monarchy to have more power. Clericalists want the Church to have more. Statists want the state to be supreme etc.

The country is Catholic so the Pope is the religious leader. I have not decided yet if I will give clergy seats in the legislature. But the clericalist faction is just led by a very devout member of the Party.

Let's see....

Autocracy: We do hold elections, but the non-democratic actually pertains to the Premier. The Premier isn't voted in, but rather selected from the Top 5% of the Government.

Body Integrity: I actually don't remember this. I thought I accepted it. Huh...

Smoking: Will try to work on that.

Corporal Punishment: We only execute certain people, but only with the International Committee's approval. Most of our executions have been those who murdered members of the Coltsov family and other officials.

ID chips: Uh... It's not supposed to be everyone. Only the Military.

Autarky: Uh... Dang it NS. I guess I have it due to the Z-Day collapse? I dunno.

And lastly...WMD's: Ah yes.. Nukes. I may seem childish at times, but I know the danger these hold. I keep them as a deterrent. I'm trying to be peaceful and helpful, but I'm not afraid to crystallize someone who wants me dead "cuz u r commie lolz". I mean...ffs...Let me be me.
