Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
[spoiler=Condensed]
[/spoiler][spoiler=Response]
The KZ-99 has a Crew of 6 and is usally deployed for Defensive Positions . The PMT Troops last Region were Pumped of All sorts of stuff with a Small Exo Suit so the weight wasent too big of a Issiue.
I modled the Weights of IRL stuff perhaps it was wrong.
The KZ-150 if you have a Better explanation for the Desgin than No snark intended , but please tell me.
The Barium Core Detonator is made to Destroy MASSIVE things, witch is why we encode them so that Hostiles cant get them . the Troops are Ordered to Memorize There codes and are often Randomly Tested by the Platoon Leaders and Quartermasters on the Code. its Also a Immediate Suspension Pending Court Marshal Review For use in a base or a Unauthorized Use.
The PS-105 is a close support mortar . The Entire Battalion wont have one it will be a small section of a Battalion
The EMP Gernade , all i have to say was made for PMT-FT
The Fat Lady my Lovely Chopper .
Well i just Took the Tank and Guesstimated the size. Perhaps not that fast but still
Why would i need to shuttle that many troops ? Invasion Forces,Evacuation, Rapid Response ?
The 305, again was made with Exo Suites and Super Humans in mind.
The Seige Gun , i had no intent of useing it here , I only kept it as a Seige weapon and a Psychological Weapon.
MA-76, Again PMT.
The Chinook
Again PMT, but whats the "Problem From Before?"
T-197 , Hows it a No ?
its a Big tank its got the Room for Shells , and as i said before intended use of Super Human Soliders
T-56 , Its a Lighter Tank that can be Fielded eaisyer where the T-197 would be over kill. whats it to ya that i have addational Tanks
The AT-CP
Why ?
Thats a totally MT Early PMT Concept
Ignore it why??
The SPAAAG idk what i put it as .
The Landstalker again Why ignore it ? Totally Feasible ?
The SU-100 Yea no shields , and why that howitzer only has 6 shots at max. Its sopposed to be a Tank/Bomber killer.
The SU-12 IDC as long as i have a Long range Bomber that can drop a nice sized payload is all im concerned with
The MA-111 Perhpas the speed can be lower , as ive stated before , made for PMT.
Im just gonna ignore all the navy Because im land locked and i like battleships so can it .
How are they too big ?
Also , instead of saying "N o o" Put some details in there that would help me alot .
[/spoiler]
And the ATAT would have all Ballistic weapons , and the Hovor tanks , why bring up the obvious ?
Another thing: How do you have all these advanced things in the middle of, basically, - a bunch of desert. Remember, this is MT.
Russian Fedration
It started with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
The Royal Republic Of Kumania
Exactly witch is why ive never said im gonna use these ...well atleast all of them
and it would help me know GDPs and stuff.
Well we don't have a system of GDP. However, look at Afghanistan's before the Taliban, put it in an inflation calculator, and there you go.
that was like back in the 80s-90s and with no Devlopment thats taken place sence . i dont feel thats a Accurate Representation
Here is some advice from a fellow desert dweller. Look at your natural resources, google Afghanistan for a feel. In my opinion economically you will pretty much have to specialize. For example, my nation specializes in small arms manufacturing. Obviously we do other stuff, like hydroponics farms, fishing, some mining...etc., but by, and large our biggest industry is making guns. That is where our income comes from. Well, that, and the Suez Canal. The Canal is probably my largest money maker, which is why I am so protective of it.
So the point is, find that thing that you could do, be it making batteries, or crafting candles, and go for it.
Russian Fedration, Yukona
Maybe I'll cut a canal from Vancouver all the way to Hudson Bay and let you all build oil rigs there but then charge you for the transit :^)
Russian Fedration
Im gonna be Exporting Drugs like no tomorrow . i have 3 maps of Resources and all that what not and it says that one of my Biggest natural Resources is "Opium" so im gonna state sponsor that
Now i Looked on Wikipedia and it said for 2014 that the Estimated GDP was 69 Billion USD .
I like that im gonna have to do some more research
Your in Egypt correct ?
That would be a hell of a canal lol. If you need shooty things to help build that canal, I can give you a good price. 75 percent discount on all orders of 100'000 or more, provided you are purchasing the EBR-01 "Equalizer".
Russian Fedration
Indeed. I have Eastern Egypt, the Sinai Peninsula, and Israel.
Russian Fedration
And Lebanon
Russian Fedration, Tserra
Oh yeah, that too. I kinda forgot about poor old Lebanon. I just conflated it with Israel.
Oelesa
Ahh nice Claim thats smart of you.
Well im new and Firmly Unaligned at the moment .Im just working on getting everything set up first of all.
Tserra
Hey take your time. Rome was not built in a day. I hope you stick around for a while. :D
Russian Fedration
Do we still have the Non aggression pact?
I hope so too. im just trying to Figure out a good Set up here before i post.
I think I deleted the factbook when you lost your claim to Israel way back when, but I am still honoring it. Besides as a member of the Reich your like my best friend anyways. Tserra loves the Reich. The Reich is always welcome in Tserra. Tserran facilities are Reich facilities. Tserran military bases are Reich military bases. Tserran ports are Reich ports. :D
I suggest heavily investing in technologies such as hydroponics & vertical farming, water-sterilization, and Sol-Aerial Power. This way, you can have Energy, food production, and water sterilization all compounding on each other. You can also utilize biological components such as Rapeseed for polluted urban waste-water and GMO phytoplanktons and algea to help harvest hydrogen from similar wastes.
And now you have Hydrogen as a fuel source that produces water as waste...your welcome...And remember, technology and the international community are your friends
Russian Fedration, Tserra
damn son! i like that , im gonna have to use that well thanks !
and i know i just dont know who i should be aligned with. Im going to Try to Revamp Afghanistan into a Modern Version of its self.
Canal pays for itself we have no problem lots of money very nice quick time
Tserra
I am gonna go pass out, and sleep for a while.
Love you all :D

Culturally, I'm a hyper-diverse, multi-cultural society (mainly due to my imperial history), and approx. 12% of my nations population speaks Arabic; Ideologically Ædenism takes perks from Socialism, a sprinkle of capitalism, and some wise words from libertarianism and and anarcho-communism; so in both of those regards I think a friendly relationship between our two nations is both probables and very likely because we share a similar federal structure, I'm just more decentralized, and while it has definitely fused into our overarching culture, Arabic and several cultures thusly are still present, especially in Gaida.
I can also supply you with early settlement technologies such as the ones I described earlier, without looking into details does this sound like a good deal?
Russian Fedration
any ally im really ok with right now and i would like those techs . Historically for me we were taken over by the Resurrected Stalin's Russian Federation and after he Died The Lack of Leader ship Coupled with many other Crises Threw the Entire nation into wack and a Majority of it Split to Pieces , So thats why we have a High Russian / Arabic Population. Governmental Models are a "Loose Base for Kostaya Vanzin's Vanzinism For the Galactic Federation of Freeborn Planets"
But this is 2000 Years Plus In the Past in my history. I could Ramble on the Philosophies all i want lol id be here for ever , one thing thats different here , is im gonna have the Russian Orthodoxy and Sunni Islam Play Much Larger Roles than i normally would .
But yes Im very Interested in that deal !
Also Did the math , With the Afghan GDP in 2014 and my NS Budget Model , i get 200,000 Troops and spend 61,000 K on them each....I feel so Poor lol
im use to fielding 388 Million Troops for Roughly 1.1 Million USD each lol
Still seems like quite a lot of troops to be honest with you man
hi
Russian Fedration, Penguania And Antarctica
Well my Main Federation not my Afghanistan , we Emphasis GREATLY on the Military. and to protect 8-9 Billion People we need those troops
My Thoughts always have been the Bigger the military no one will bother you and you can focus on the Internal Developments more.
Houdy!
The Vidnoye, Penguania And Antarctica
Are we talking in RP out of RP?
Russian Fedration
388 Million Cannon for me , 200,000 Cannon for RP :)
If that makes sense
Oh hey der
Russian Fedration, The Vidnoye, Penguania And Antarctica
It makes sense - well in RP, you won't have that population, so the numbers make sense - to you at least. Still, Afghanistan is basically at war with itself and maintains and incredibly large army for its size and terrain. I'd suggest the area of 160,000 would be better and maybe make up the rest in reserves - that is, a professional army. Depending on your equipment and if you're having Afghanistan's GDP too, you'd struggle to maintain a good army of 200,000 with adequate modern and advanced technology like that of, say, Jordan. It really depends on the economics pal.
Russian Fedration
God dammit I hate we don't have an economics system.
Russian Fedration, Yukona
Post self-deleted by Baxten.
Shhhhhhh stop pointing out potholes. Also the [redacted] blockers will be removed at a later date after I figure everything out.
Russian Fedration
I used the 2014 Economics of Afghanistan and my Budget was a 69 Billion USD, and I was told that i Really didnt have to fallow the Nation Exactly , so i really wasent gonna Add the Taliban too much instead replace them with Russian Orthodox Minority Fighters . i Just Used my NS Budget Division for my Numbers .
Equipment wise will be Difficult however tho .
Kinda why im just going with what i think/Know/Calculated
Well those potholes need to be fixed to participate in the canon RPs.
You could take the GDP per capita before the Taliban, and multiply it by your population now to get the GDP
Im trying to find that right now and im not really finding anything . and idk why id use Old statistics
Other than the oil off our coast and withen our territories I'm thinking of setting up a deal with Russ since well Afghan. Other than that we'll buy it from people but the Heavy transports are low in number and are only deployed once at certain bases. I'm going to add transport jets for everything else.
Russian Fedration
Because Afghani GDP is in shambles. If you use older stats, but make it proportional to today, it would be like a stable Afghani GDP
Remember; resources are proportional to real world Earth
Russian Fedration
Id be happy too
Thats True , but that sounds like a Massive and difficult head ache unless you can explain it too me because im not finding any of those numbers
I found one that said it was the Equivalence of 60 Dollars that dosent seem accurate to me.
Simple
GDP per Capita of a past year (adjusted with inflation using inflation calculator) x Map population
Hell, you could take the one today and multiply it by your pop
Russian Fedration
thats the thing tho i cant find the Afghani GDP from 1960
Alright so I be your international security in trade for my hands in your oil pockets?
Russian Fedration
you know me i need a better trade deal than that lol :)
OK so according to this ,
https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=afghanistan+gdp+per+capita+1960
thats 60 Dollars a Person.
Kinda week.
than useing this https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=60&year1=196001&year2=201703
I put January 1960 and than march of 2017 it says its 500 Dollars but on Wikipedia it says the GDP per capita is 2,000 USD
Both domestic and international?
Russian Fedration
no lol thats the army and polices Job lol
we can talk over TG because i need to know what extra you can offer me , i mean i need my Oil Pockets too.
Okey dokey.
Russian Fedration
We should make one, it'd make RP'ing way better
Russian Fedration
I agree...as long as its not stupid....Believe me ive been to a Region where it felt like the "Special" kid made it
Baxten
Pretty much. This is why it's difficult; if you don't do it right, you're gonna screw the entire RP up.
Who?
Russian Fedration
EXACTLY!
and you dont what that
i feel ya
and you took the words out of my mouth
Who?
sorry i had ham for dinner and that received my full undivided attention.
Who? as in who (or what) is the Commission of Economics
Russian Fedration, Vista Major
http://s15.zetaboards.com/COFN/topic/10057266/1/
Oh. Can I nominate myself to be on it?
Russian Fedration
Huh....Intresting
I could nominate you
Though I'll need to get all of you confirmed by the House soon. Slight oversight on my part
Russian Fedration
any other Free spots ?
I know I'm new, but RF can vouch for my knowledge in economics. Am I able to nominate myself?
Russian Fedration
it is vastly painful his Knowledge on Capitalism it hurts this communist ...witch is why i asked if i could go to Represent the unrepresented
Jakal has primarily based most of its operations after fascist forces forcefully couped its leader under payment from the loyalists. Combat operations as well as peacekeeping operations have resulted in multiple clashes with insurrectionist forces as well as multiple bases set up the naval fleet has been brought in from Alpha base off the coast to land troops to counter the hostile forces. The primary government has stated that Jakal forces will be allowed to stay apon completion of their task as the primary fighting force. In return their oil reserves and military will be inducted into Jakal.
Russian Fedration
Huh thought I typed in southern India guess not.

So i just found out that you can Exceed the 25 Factbook limit by useing Dispatches.... AFGHANI INFORMATION FTW!!!!!
Vista Major
Russian Fedration
OH YEA! Theres a 25 Factbook Limit thats why i Have Big Factbooks with sub Sub-sub factbooks inside them
BUT it looks like using Dispatches can Overtake that
i have 24 Factbooks and than i had 4 Dispatches i deleated them all because 2 were a test and than 2 were 2 years old .
Very late on this, but yeah, sending mercenaries into a country that is effectively the modern-day equivalent of Renaissance Italy, albeit with all factions fielding enough equipment and manpower to hold each other off, would probably end in the latter winning; plus, al-Qarn is basically Somalia-at-large, or in other words, everyone hates each other, but they hate foreign occupiers even more

As the coup in southern India ends a private military rises and grows from just a small yet powerful force of a few hundred thousand to almost 8000000 due to the large amount of people joining and the conscription of military and law enforcement from southern India into our ranks! Soon after this happened a single message from a group in Afghanistan known as Russian Fedration contacted our primary office in the Indian Ocean and set up a deal. 15% of their yearly oil production and 4,000,000 of our dollars to defend their honorable trade routes and oil fields and as well train their forces in CQB! Today marks the day that Jakal INC bounces back to the international stage toppling those such as Blackwater and Triple Canopy!!!! These groups will be bought out eventually along with Aegis but this will take time. Most contractor companies will join our ranks! Currently our forces are preparing relief to nations destroyed by war, famine, disease, natural disasters, and poverty!
Our research departments are hard at work developing bipedal and quadruped walkers and drones to support our contractors in the field! Together we can all do great things let's keep it all going!!!
Russian Fedration
any advice for a Introductory post . Before i kinda knew what to do but MT is a new Introductory setting for me.
That is an immense defence budget for Afghanistan
i just took what my NS Budget Distribution is and used that and Split all the money according to that.
my NS Defence stat is 17.7% my police 18.1%
I don't think we use NS budget as it's quite unrealistic. That is seriously an immensely high, and I mean high, budget per GDP.
well the 2014 GDP was 69 Billion and the Afghan military budget was 11 Billion
so its actually pretty realistic
Ive been number crunching all day.
Afghan GDP is near enough 20 billion USD iirc, that means 50% of their budget is going to the military in your case, roughly. And the majority of that budget Afghanistan has is sustained by the US and U.K. No way could they afford that on their own...
welp not the numbers i got .
Well, what numbers did you get? The Afghan Armed Forces are heavily, heavily subsidised by the US to the point where practically all the budget is owned by the Yanks
yea fully know that but there not useing my percentage.
i got my numbers off the "Economy of Afghanistan" Wikipedia Page, and in 2014 the GDP was 69 billion
seemed right to me.
and Afghanistan in 15 i think had 250,000 Troops
The IMF forecasts the Afghan GDP to be around 19.3 billion USD for 2017. Conversely, it also predicts the Afghan GDP (PPP) to be around 67.7 billion USD. It's using the same products, but its just calculating GDP in a different way.
Where the traditional way to calculate GDP is by accounting for all of the nation's domestic product in its respective currency then simply converting that total to the USD to reach a grand total, PPP adjusts for market price, and shows a much more representative value of the purchasing power in a nation by creating a PPP factor (where s= currency 1/currency 2 for X good) and including that in the GDP calculation.
Personally, I would say using GDP (PPP) is a better way of catching the actual value of all of a nation's domestic assets, and would say that the 67.7 billion is more accurate than the 19.3.
Russian Fedration
What's also funny is that the Chinese GDP (adjusted for PPP) dwarfs the US, India, and EU by at least 3 trillion USD.
Mainland China (excluding Hong Kong and Macau, and excluding Taiwan, which many including myself say is still a part of the PRC) has a GDP (PPP) of 23.19 trillion USD, which is trailed behind the "European" GDP (PPP) at 20.85 trillion USD, and then in third by the US at 19.41 trillion USD.
Russian Fedration
Well there are many things you can do, but I personally suggest a few posts about recent actions to bring yourself onto the international stage on the Confederacy General; For example you could announce a few actions in the form of a news article; You can read on how [nation=short]the_vidnoye[/nation]'s doing it, say your importing some nice Andreallic Neo-Settlement Technologies that I mentioned to you earlier (Ill TG U if Your interested), that could be a big leap from a previous backwater nation to a growing Russo-Arabic Middle Eastern power on the international stage.
You could react to the cruel Theocracy right next door that totally doesn't use inhumane weapons YES I'M STILL SALTY ABOUT THAT CaDS! You could begin ramping up oil production in your area...
What I'm trying to say is that the world is your oyster right about now, because now your starting to forge friendships and enemies with other nations, which wether you like it or not, is going to have profound effects on your nation forever

Some Scottish clergyman has said there is a moral case for voting No.
How about you stick to your medieval sky fairy fantasies, mate, and leave the politics to the people and politicians?
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica
Don't worry, I'm sure he'll pray for "no" votes
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
Typical churchman supporting the establishment. It's what they've always done.
Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica
Are you saying there's not a sane case for voting no?
Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica
Sane? What's sane about remaining shackled to an increasingly right wing Tory government?

I'm actually fine with both tbh
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
It's not so much Nurem's position that irritates me, it's just the disregard for anything and all views against his. Like, I'm not a big fan of socialism - but I can understand the morals behind it and why people are socialist. I don't like it from an economic stand point, but as much as I bust people's balls about it I don't feel the need to lambaste their moral values just because they have a different political view than me. I kinda sincerely hope he bigs it up just like I do with how anti-communist I am, it just gets tiring when people don't at least see the other side of things, even if they don't like it. I hope that doesn't come off as argumentative or insulting (the latter to Nurem).
