BREAKING NEWS
The Empress has just heard from Unfallion ambassadors that Aldwood has seceded from the USCS. She is deeply saddened at this move and invites former Premier Anatoly Cherdenko Romanov and other heads of states of other USCS and NNP members to Minnesota Dakota, even though they haven't seen eye to eye, to attend a diplomatic dinner to discuss the shift in the balance of power. The dinner will take place in Chicago. All flights from Minnesota to Aldwood have be grounded. The Aldwoodist embassy in Naboo will be vacated for the time being. The Minnesotan Merchant Fleet near Sulania will remain and a few Minnesotan ships will return to escort the ships to Sulanian ports. Catherine Poklonskaya is also invited to the dinner. With Aldwood leaving the USCS the Socialist Empire of Minnesota Dakota is rattled but not distracted.
In other news, all USCS and NNP citizens now no longer have to go through security in airports.

Economic Freedom : -92
Life Span : 90.8 Years (were basicly tied lol)

Vista Major
Communism does not use a currency, so any form of income based on "X monies" is not communism.
Vista Major, Kivasek, Penguania And Antarctica
I was joking.
Vista Major
Welp got me There, in DF tho....
TBF NS doesn't give you a null currency option :-/
Russian Fedration, Kivasek

Economic freedom: -74.67
Lifespan: 89.23 years
Atheism rate: 90.82%

The issue with putting an AI in control of your economy makes it spike. I was sitting around 40-ish percent until I let the AI take over planning.

I agree wholeheartedly in regards to using dice, or random integers. However I also think strategy and tactics should come into play. For example. Say I was fighting a defensive war, and did something IC that was novel, and had the potential to be devatating for the attackers, one of our RP mods could decide whether or not that would be a buff.

My only fear is general innactivity
I can see that.

I saw it, didn't like it as much though.
I think it has to do with how proactive Samurai Jack is by plot. He spends his every waking moment seeking to defeat Aku, and to that end he traverses around instead of waiting and letting Aku ping people off of him.
He doesn't give up, or let Aku make him kill or ruin people to get what he wants, he just goes to do his duty, and hopefully, each week that's enough...even as everything started unraveling for certain characters later on like that robot mobster with a dog named Lulu.
I dunno, something about Samurai Jack made it much better to me.
Depends on the person.
Some people do it to be fun, other people stop it midway through because they suddenly realize it can do stuff.
Catherine is invited?
Well alrighty.
Kalaron is gonna develop a new cargo plane, maybe if we finish soon we'll attend if allowed?

Hey Mag
Do you feel like getting invaded today?

Battleships are incapable, and those destroyers have less than a thirteenth the range of an ASM.
Constidor was a guy who entered the Commonwealth of Free Nations and was an immediate bigot on the topic of gay people. After a number of confrontations with Nurem and the rest of this old crew, he was banned before being allowed to reenter for a short time. Having been a person who spoke too him afterwards very intermittently, he apparently chilled it after a while.
Why?
