*Non-flaming, just for a bit of gentle fun and to note for future reference.

Biotopian Annalists have presented the following statistics for global review by the NS Universe. Although the BBS [Biotopian Beuro of Statistics] wishes to point out that this does not take into account the size of each nation, which affects the capacity to produce. For clearer comparison it is suggested to investigate comparative population differences.

The CACE
Biotopia is ranked 1st in the region and 1,981st in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.

Seocc is ranked 5th in the region and 5,695th in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.

Svea Riga is ranked 1st in the region and 1,640th in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.

Deepblue is ranked 2nd in the region and 2,852nd in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.

Xikuang is ranked 155th in the region and 86,381st in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.

Anhierarch is ranked 2nd in the region and 3,525th in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.

Celdonia is ranked 31st in the region and 21,909th in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.

Free Socialism is ranked 99th in the region and 79,746th in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.

The Others
Der Angst is ranked 2nd in the region and 200th in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.

The Vortex Corporation is ranked 8th in the region and 3,331st in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.

Knootoss is ranked 3rd in the region and 1,433rd in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.

Diablo_NL is ranked 9th in the region and 3,332nd in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.

Ruhr is ranked 2nd in the region and 721st in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.

Menelmacar is ranked 1st in the region and 2,532nd in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.

New York and Jersey is ranked 2nd in the region and 1,149th in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.

Ha! Eat dust Diablo!

The Vortex Corporation is ranked 8th in the region and 3,331st in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.

Diablo_NL is ranked 9th in the region and 3,332nd in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector

And on a sidenote: due to a very high regional amount of co-operation on technological developments, the Vortex Corporation and Diablo_NL both enjoy very advanced Information Technology as developed inside the WTE and SFN, primarily instigated by the knowledge and expertice of the Dominion of the Lab Mouse.

81st. CACE has been pwnd.
Iraqstan
25-11-2003, 15:49
It's quite amusing. A national socialist unity has a much better IT rating than CACE people with their vaunted "unbeatable" Q-consoles. How does one make that with high thousands in IT. The National Socialist Landholders of Iraqstan are rated at being 255th in the WORLD for IT genius.

Go figure the psychotic and rich are more IT powerful than the people with the magic computers......

This message has been yet one more Propeganda mission by the IT sector of Iraqstani Intelligence.

People within our borders are often asked about their feelings towards 'IT'

Some respond that they never really got INTO 'The Addams Family'.

*sigh*

let me just conter balance some of the rather silly comments that hae been made. As aforementioned there is a disparity between populations which has not been taken into account [for example Biotopia only has arounf 830 million while nations such as Iraqstan have over one billion, so dhu! comrades, of cause there should be a greater output of IT, but when you compare say Biotopia to Menelmacar which has nearly 2 billion people, i would consider that a success.

btw: what does pwn/ pwnd mean?
Anhierarch
25-11-2003, 16:25
pwnd: leetspeak for 'owned', which in the vernacular of the internet is used to denote that something or someone has been demonstrated to be inferior to another, or that an object/concept is superior.

Eg: 'CACE pwnz!'

or 'CACE pwnz j00.'

Somebody has to actually build them. Presumably that would be the IT sector.

Who cares, little old me is outproducing the grand Queen of uber tech, so if grandma wants to use a Q-console, we have more then enough to lend her. :D

~Siri

They are funded by the military and Seocc's IT rating is around 5000 or so, so it's reasonably good. They're not mass produced consumer goods either so it isn't like there are hundreds of factories churning them out day after day.

As we all know though it's mainly an RP device because he wanted to RP an alternative to having a traditional military.

What affects the IT ranking anyway? Ages ago mine was around the 70000 ~ 80000 mark and I though "oops, better improve that". It's hardly spectacular now, around 21000 (or something like that), but I have no idea how it improved.

~Siriwhen the state runs all, the lign between different companies can be fudgy....also, i believe the Q-console production plants are classified and off-limtis for the UN, so no doubt they just wrote them down as being "general militech" or something rather than IT.

Really? So... how did you rank the last time Military Spending Per Capita was released?

Hey, SeOCC, do you need to plug these q-consoles in or something?

Not bad, for something the UN inspectors wouldn't even recognise as a normal computer me thinks. :wink:

Wazzu
26-11-2003, 07:29
It's official. Wazzu's IT sector, lead by Elegant Solutions, is not doing very well...at least in the Mars market.

Wazzu is ranked 6th in the region (Europe) and 460th in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.

Sunset is ranked 1st in the region and 47th in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.

Eniqcir is ranked 1st in the region and 33rd in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.

Sunset and Eniqciri goods are rushing across the boarders into the hands of those who can afford it (middle class and above) as the hottest goods on the market...not just the Mars market, but the galactic market. Elegant Solutions, a founding Wazzu corporation which has never done particularly well in buisness is still surviving via niche markets.

This Mars map (http://www.pacifier.com/~cziller/mapofmars.jpg) shows common boarders.
