I will sell you 1 million F-15's, of course seeing as your budget cant exceed about 2 million dollars at present, It will take 20 million years to fulfill your order.

And people ask me why I dont go to Nationstates Board...

OOC: Actually no that won't work, the more money you print, the more your dollar value will go down. Think about Germany after WW1, they printed so much money by 1924, it was 4.5 TRILLION German Marks to one American Dollar.

4 trillion to 1 dollar? u sure about that seems a little extreme

we have our own currency it is the knaagdier but obviously we are trading in dollars so we print more dollars.

you can just print more money without something backing it like Gold or Silver, another currency or just plain old good faith(i.e. with the american dollar) but your country eneds to be stable.

*stares dumbfounded for several minutes*

Money aside, what the heck do you need a MILLION jets for?

I mean do you know how big a Jet is? The ammount of people it takes to maintain a jet and to build the facilities to house these one million jets!?

You'd end up bulldozing your entire country.

It's probably would take 15 people to maintain a single jet. So you'd need 15 million people to take care of your impressive one million jets.

That's more than twice the ammoutn of people you have. So you'd need to hire 8 million foreigners to take care of the jets.

But wait, they need money; print money you say? Excelllent idea... to bad you don't have any workforce left to do just that.

So with the most impressive air fleet I could imagine you ruin your own country.

Please, use the Dutch merchants blood that is in you, be wise!
