Alright then. We'll give them numbers in the meantime (either their old numbers or new numbers), and they can choose their own name whenever they're ready. They'll be free to choose whatever they like, be it English/Percytonian, South Slavic, or native. Although they should be warned that if their name is difficult to pronounce, we're likely to give them a nickname, and that could go either way depending on the engine's actions or personality (ex: 'Bear' is called that because of the growling-like noises his engine makes, 'Bowler' is called that because of an incident where a bowler hat got sucked into his air intake, etc.)

Sounds great!

Hopefully someone takes an interest in me so I can then buy the condoms.

It's from a video game. A video game with a multitude of themes such as how corporate greed is a powerful and very bad thing.

Nuka Cola is literally a soda that uses nuclear radiation, and the company itself instigated several attempts at corporate espionage. Such as their corporate takeover of Vim, which was characterized on attempts on shipment drivers' lives, domestic terrorism, and assassination.

I want to go ahead and cut the head off of this snake. I am currently not granting expansions, or overseas territories/colonies.

Please, I know all of you want to expand, but I ask you wait just a little longer, there are still a lot of people who may not have had the chance to ask for a plot, and I want to be fair to them.

After a series of stressful negotiations, the Nazi Reich has decided to give up the parts. In exchange, the 65,000 strong city (not 650,000) has asked for a "border" and secession from the ESSR. The parts are presently being loaded onto an An-225 to be airdropped into Sodor.

In other news, work has been completed on (potentially) the worlds first turbine locomotive. Engineers from the Moscow Science and Technology Academy believe this engine can run on the electrical charge generated from a special solar based motor. It is unsure if being sentient would allow the engine to move by itself, but Soviet technicians believe such a possibility is closer than we think.

Giving up a province for some engine parts? That's very kind of you. You really didn't need to do that. However, since you already agreed to the exchange, we'll take the parts, and pick them up near Sodor Airport near Maron.

A turbine engine? Very interesting. Sounds like a very promising development, and I hope these new engines can revo-loo-shunize transport in Russkov Soviet. If you need any assistance from Percyton, please don't hesitate to ask.

No when I was first taking down his spot, he asked if he could have the rest of the Congo, and I told him to let it sit and wait a week or so, just in case anyone asked for it. Well no one did, so I honored the agreement. I ended up giving him Gabon, and Equatorial Guinea as well, but that was to make things a bit easier on me from a map perspective.

Well... In my opinion, it was lose a province or lose more Soviet lives. We already suffered a blood-drenched civil war.

And the engine is being tested here, but will be shared by both of us. The motor is easy to install, and one of the models will need to be sentient to determine the effectiveness.

No problem! I've never heard of an engine that could move completely on its own, but it's worth a try. You can send the engine to us when you're ready, we'll bring it alive, and then we'll send it back to you for further testing.

Hey Nuremgard!

I found a discussion topic. You know in Greece, in national holidays, students parade with their school. A student has fo hold the flag

Until last year, in school parades, the best student held the flag. If there were two or more with equal grades, a draw was held. Also, some other students, usually the second and third best, are standing around the flag holder.

That was till last year. Our current gov't (their collective IQ is that of a fish) decided that both the flag holder and those who stand around them will be selected by a draw, from within all the students of the class. What do you think on it?

(Needless to say I am against it)

The sizeable but underdeveloped Spanelskoan economy, worth 1.16 trillion Arma 3s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing

Hmm, i though that large black market would be like 20% is 10% really that bad? Well we are known as corrupt so it does actually make sense.

Well yeah it would means one in ten of your economic activity is within the black market and is both illegal and something you don't collect taxes on, that's very high

Perhaps a tax cut could also help your economy, or a bit of privatisation. But there are economies with no private sector that are 100/100 as well. It is up to you. But Yuk is right about black market. My black market is 0.5%.

Thank you for the idea, but from now on, i decided to embrace our corruption, my new target, have at least 50% black market based economy.

I think it's the lack of private enterprise that's the result for the large black market. The fact that people can't own their own businesses and the like mean they resort to operating out of governmental cordons and simply the government sees no return in trying to tax them, as they just move into the shadows. I would equate it to the marginal propensity to pay tax in a way, although I'm not that good at economics - because there is so much state ownership, requisition, taxing and artificially over-fixed wages - people just simply move to the illegal side and make more money for themselves and have a more successful business privately.

I will be honest, I find this whole concept bizarre as this does not happen in Scotland or the UK in general. I think everyone has the right to hold their nation's flag. Having the student with the best grades hold the flag singles them out and might make them a target for jealousy. Also, it might make other students feel inadequate or unworthy of their country since their government is telling them, "you're not smart enough to carry the flag."

You are making a good point, and I myself am against that student parade thing. But, holding the flag is the only recognition for good students, who are on most times bullied, even by teachers. Also, as I was on the draw last year, I know that the most unworthy of the group will be selected. Therefore, now that all parttake in the draw, the most probable scenario is that the flag holder will have attended school for five days the whole year, or they might not speak Greek at all.

In that instance, it should be the person with the best grades.
