Dear Sir or Madam,

At the IIS we are currently testing a new system of analysing the power, influence and other attributes of various nations. At the moment, we have developed quite a detailed and accurate calculator, capable of determining influence within the UN, GDP, political efficiency, military information and much more.

If you would like to receive this service, please post the following information:

Roleplayed population (no more than your NS population!)
Civil freedoms
Political freedoms
Economic rating
Economic theory (market/planned)
Tax rate
Crime rate
Major industry
UN Status (member, non-member, delegate)
Number of endorsements
Alliance status (none, economic treaty, military coalition, alliance)
Number of members in said alliance (approx.)
Spending on government priorities (see XML feed)

Thank you,
Karl Ivanovich

OOC: Just posts your stats here, I'll do the working out and post them back for you.

Dear Sir or Madam,

At the IIS we are currently testing a new system of analysing the power, influence and other attributes of various nations. At the moment, we have developed quite a detailed and accurate calculator, capable of determining influence within the UN, GDP, political efficiency, military information and much more.

If you would like to receive this service, please post the following information:

Roleplayed population (no more than your NS population!) 1.21 billion in Sarzonia proper; 1.57 billion including several colonies
Civil freedoms: Excellent
Political freedoms: Some
Economic rating: Thriving
Economic theory (market/planned): Market
Tax rate: average rate 95%
Crime rate: Totally unknown (worst it's ever been was "well under control")

UN Status (member, non-member, delegate): Non-member
Number of endorsements: N/A
Alliance status (none, economic treaty, military coalition, alliance): Two alliances (member of Organisation of Maritime Powers, which is a mutual defence alliance; founder of the Woodstock Pact, which is going to have its foundations laid out shortly). NOTE: I'm a former member of NATO and the former President of the now-defunct Victoria Alliance.
Number of members in said alliance (approx.): I believe the OMP membership is somewhere in the 30s; the Woodstock Pact so far has approximately 15 nations who have expressed interest in joining.
Spending on government priorities (see XML feed): Defence: 29 percent ($7,768,051,369,816.50); Education: 22 percent ($5,893,004,487,447.00); Social Welfare: 10 percent ($2,678,638,403,385.00).

No, GUSTO is completely different, this one is done by me only. And planned economies get a an efficiency bonus, but are penalised in banking and financial services in this calculator.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't count the International Alliance if it hasn't been completed yet.

Interesting.. thank you very much for taking the time to provide me with that analysis of my nation.

That's great, thanks. Might you be able to explain the influence and country analysis parts? Particularly what you mean by "solid sovereignity" and "sovereign nation"? (I'm assuming sovereign nation means something different to the dictionary meaning, seeing as virtually every NS nation is a sovereign nation)

And here's the long-awaited explanation.

Glossary
Economy type What your main source of income is, what your economy is based on. There are six categories.
GDP Gross Domestic Product, the wealth created in your nation every year.
GDP per capita The GDP divided by the population
Budget How much your government can spend: your tax rate times GDP times government efficiency
Energy consumption How much (in kilowatt hours) each person in the country uses in electricity per year, based on economy, environment spending and main industry.
Economic efficiency How much of the nation's wealth goes to aiding the population with useful products and services.
Equality How well distributed the wealth is: six categories, based on social equality and welfare spending.
Economy points A value showing your economic strength and influence

Government efficiency How efficient your government is, calculated by subtratcing administration costs and a political freedoms modifier from 100%.
Population points A value for power gained through the sheer weight of your population

Military budget How much the government can spend on the military: the military spending % multiplied by the budget.
Army size How many active personnel and reserves are in the Armed Forces
Army type The main basis or speciality of your military
Military points A value for militaristic power

UN points A value for your power in the United Nations
Ally points A value for the power you have gained with friends in high places and reflected influence

Power points The sum of economy points, population points, military points, UN points and ally points.
Influence A rating for your nation's influence and international power, based on power points
Country analysis A description of your country, drawing from many sources of information

Rankings
Economy type There are six categories:
Banana republic (reliance on primary goods)
Labour-based (labour-intensive jobs, eg China)
Tourist haven (a country which relies mainly on tourism for income)
Heavy industry ('nuff said)
Financial services (relying on banking and tertiary services)
Hi-tech (using computerised technology, eg Japan)
Equality Seven rankings (from highest to lowest):
Perfect equality
Equal
Semi-equal
Moderate
Disproportionate
Unjust
Crippling inequality
Army type
Hi-tech (very advanced weapons, communications, etc.)
Mechanised (mainly vehicles)
Infantry-based (mainly infantry, not-so-well supported by vehicles)
Asymmetrical (terrorist or guerilla)
Intelligence-based (espionage)
Disbanded (no army)
Influence From least powerful to most powerful:
Loose community
Insignificant country
Minor state
Solid sovereignty
Minor power
Major power
Superpower
Hyperpower
Country analysis There are 12 possible categories (collect them all!(tm)). Of the one's so far:
Sovereign Nation (your run-of-the-mill nation-state)
Liberal Paradise (a community where people enjoy high levels of freedom)
Billion-Strong Wonder (a nation with a very large population)
Rogue State (an isolationist nation with a large military)
World Policeman (a great player on the world stage with a strong military)
Neutral State (a relatively impartial and isolationist nation)
Evil Empire (a planned-economy nation with a large military)
Third World Nation (a country with a weak economy and quality of life)
Tin-Pot Dictatorship (an absolute dictatorship)

That's cool. Well done, good job.

Now, must.....increase.....ratings.....join alliances.....increase budget....make army rating higher....

OOC:

I don't see how joining 101 alliances is beneficial at all. What matters is your influence within said alliance and then how influencial that alliance is, which all boils down to how much time a person has in front of the computer and what clique you run with in NS.

Right, then. Some notes. First of all, I've been simulating my economy myself since before all these calculators and such were available, so I don't use those - except to check my own calculations. My game-engine population is four billion odd, so for this year (I RP in real-time) I took my GDP per capita to be US$80,486.48 (two years at Frightening to me equals a GDP per capita for my four billion game-engine nation of around US$40,000, double that as my RP'd population is slightly over half that size and grows far more slowly than any other that I know of). This equates to a GDP of something on the order of US$130T (trillion).

Then, of course, there's the more important matters:

*I changed this to average because it doesn't tally with the RP'd constitution. Also, my political freedoms appear to not like improving. Whether or not that's normal, I have no idea.
**RP'd variation; car manufacturing took a plunge game-engine-wise, but didn't RP-wise because my car manufacturing is in fact skycar manufacturing, which is a bit different and not polluting in the least. The company which leads that market is Rivette, which also works in various other markets, mostly in aerospace and space ventures.
***No multilateral arrangements at the moment, but ICEL is a signatory of the ASH Treaty, which is yet to come into effect and currently only has a handful of signatories. ICEL also has various bilateral arrangements with around six or seven states (alliances), plus around twenty or so more (trade agreements). There are also various 'spoken agreements', considered by ICEL to be identical to a treaty.
****That is the xml feed. Here is the RP'd budget for this year:

Military spending: (US$16,293,245,865,234.43) (US$16.293T)


Social spending: (US$18.09T) (US$18.092645865234T)

Welfare: (US$8.4B)
Education: (US$6.2T)

Small Business Startup Fund: (US$840B)


Foreign Investment: (US$100B) (static)


Diplomatic Foreign Investment: N/A (Extracted from GRF at need) (remains the same)


Foreign Aid: (US$2.3T) (remains the same)

Social: (TBA)
Economic: (TBA)
Political: (TBA)
Military: Knootoss: $226billion supplied
Nuclear: N/A

Government Reserve Fund: US$4T (no funds set aside this budget - surplus from last year)

...note that that budget has not been ICly released yet (that is, not 'on-camera' - or has not been revealed in its entirety on-camera), but is in effect.

I'll note I'm mostly just curious as to what you come up with. ;)]

OOC:

I don't see how joining 101 alliances is beneficial at all. What matters is your influence within said alliance and then how influencial that alliance is, which all boils down to how much time a person has in front of the computer and what clique you run with in NS.

OOC: I see what you mean. I was going to work out ally points by adding together the power points of all your allies and then multiplying it by about 0.1%, so you'd get a kind of "reflected glory". However, this would mean working out the stats for everyone in the alliance, and if you have 200 members, well...

IC: The IIS does not deny that thee are possible flaws in this system; however, we believe the calculator is accurate with its limited input information and within practical boundaries.

Dear Sir or Madam,

At the IIS we are currently testing a new system of analysing the power, influence and other attributes of various nations. At the moment, we have developed quite a detailed and accurate calculator, capable of determining influence within the UN, GDP, political efficiency, military information and much more.

If you would like to receive this service, please post the following information:

Well, I understand you say my stats must be odd because I have no income tax. But why does that make me WEAKER? (Tax rates should, in my opinion, have pretty much the opposite effect...) But Santa Barbara has the 4th least 'power points.'

And a 'labour based' economy? According to the NS un reports, pretty much every one of my industry sectors is in the top 50, many in the top 10 largest of the world, except for agriculture which is still in the hundreds. And, I think I'm in the top 5 for polluters. Heavy industry, my friend.

And then there's the defense spending, which I know is hard to do if you're using the XML combined with the Income Tax. But why do I have a 152 million man army with no defense budget? That's frankly, impossible. And I have the 13th highest defense spending in the world as well. :sniper:

Thank you very much, and if possible can you please inform me as to how you came up with this information? This seems to tell much about the statistics of ones Nation, and as I like to keep updated statistics and all, I just wish to know if there is any program I may use to benefit this possibility of keeping up with my Nations stats.

Again, thank you very much for this.

-Of course, these budget numbers have no bearing on how I role-play my nation. I normally play with an 8% defense budget (because it would be insane for a country of this size not to have a military) and a budget of 60% for combined welfare/commerce since the government controls virtually every aspect of the economy.

Well, I understand you say my stats must be odd because I have no income tax. But why does that make me WEAKER? (Tax rates should, in my opinion, have pretty much the opposite effect...) But Santa Barbara has the 4th least 'power points.'
Sorry, but can you explain why low tax rates should make you more powerful? The countries with the lowest tax rates are the island tax havens, and they're not very influential at all. The reason why your country is so weak is because you don't have much of a budget to spend on your military - all governments must have a budget.

And a 'labour based' economy? According to the NS un reports, pretty much every one of my industry sectors is in the top 50, many in the top 10 largest of the world, except for agriculture which is still in the hundreds. And, I think I'm in the top 5 for polluters. Heavy industry, my friend.
Your rating is worked out automatically based mainly on your main industry. If your main industry is labour-intensive, then your rating will be labour-based.

And then there's the defense spending, which I know is hard to do if you're using the XML combined with the Income Tax. But why do I have a 152 million man army with no defense budget? That's frankly, impossible. And I have the 13th highest defense spending in the world as well. :sniper:
You have a 152 million man army with no budget because it's worked out with (mainly) the percentage of your budget you spend on the military, to determine how militaristic your nation is. And it's not impossible: in the early Middle Ages, most of the armies were fyrdmen recruited as a king travelled through the land. They were expected to bring their own equipment - think of you army like a militia in reserve.

That's all for tonight.

Sorry, but can you explain why low tax rates should make you more powerful?

My point was why low tax rates should make me LESS powerful. Economically speaking, lower taxes leads to stronger economies.

The countries with the lowest tax rates are the island tax havens, and they're not very influential at all.

Huh? I'm not an island tax haven, so that doesn't really apply. I don't think your calculator should generalize here, since it exludes all capitalist states from an honest appraisal.

The reason why your country is so weak is because you don't have much of a budget to spend on your military - all governments must have a budget.

Rrrrgh okay so how is I am ranked 13th in the entire NS world for defense spending per capita? Just because it's not the "government" doing the military spending doesn't mean that budget is not being spent.

DB,

I recently joined the UWP, which has 6 members. Could you please re-calculate (not that I expect much to change)?

I'm curious about the mechanism for choosing the different economic types and military types. I read your glossary, but I'm curious about your calculator's criteria for identifying a given country as a given type.

My point was why low tax rates should make me LESS powerful. Economically speaking, lower taxes leads to stronger economies.
That's the position taken in the game. But economy points here aren't worked out through taxes - they are, surprisingly enough, worked out mainly through the economy rating. See, NS already does the calculating.

Huh? I'm not an island tax haven, so that doesn't really apply. I don't think your calculator should generalize here, since it exludes all capitalist states from an honest appraisal.
A government needs taxes. Not high taxes, but some kind of tax. Admittedly, income tax isn't the only form of tax, but it's the main one and the only one represented in NS.

Rrrrgh okay so how is I am ranked 13th in the entire NS world for defense spending per capita? Just because it's not the "government" doing the military spending doesn't mean that budget is not being spent.
NS works it out sing the percentage. You can RP your army as privately-run (2 Wars For the Price of 1!) but this just works out what the present form of government does.

The Fedral Union: A very, very complicated Excel spreadsheet.

Finally up-to-date. Would anyone else like their nations analysing? If so, post them here.

Amyway, have you got any suggestions for improvements? I was thinking along the lines of adding calculations for life expectancy and unemployment. If you want to add or change a feature, then post your suggestions here!

It would be interesting to add in average hight along with life expectancy... there has been a direct corolation proven between the general health of a population, the economic wellbeing, and the average height. It's not just malnutrucian; every time you get ill as a child it knocks you further off the growth curve, so nations where desease is prevelent tend to have shorter people. This goes for the nobility too, though they and their servents may have access to good medical facilities, their servent's families don't. It doesn't matter if you are cured or not, if you get sick, you loose potential height.

Also, I was wondering if you would be willing to do this with RPed values instead of the NS calculated ones. The NS calculator is fairly broken and hardly anyone actually RPs their country as NS states it.

1. Average height? Interesting, but different countries RP elves and dwarves and stuff, so that would make it difficult. Plus average height isn't included in national statistics very often. I'll probably add life expectancy though, if the time comes.
2. I do use RPed values to an extent, as long as I don't think it's just to look more powerful.

If I do release another version, then you could look forward to this -
Added features
Development Index
Life expectancy
Literacy rate
Unemployment (possibly)
See your stats in your own currency!

Other changes
Changes to the military formulae
Changes to the GDP formula*
Making the equality formula less harsh
Changes to the economic efficiency formula
Changes to how the calcultor treats 0% tax nations**

*Has anyone got any ideas on what could affect GDP other than economic rating? I've already got stats for ec. efficiency, etc., so how could I change the GDP formula?
**Any ideas? Maybe give them a 0.5% tax rate?


Edit: Update
Development Index, life expectancy and literacy rate added!

Isn’t the point of a 0% tax rate that there is no tax? o_O

Dear Sir or Madam,

At the IIS we are currently testing a new system of analysing the power, influence and other attributes of various nations. At the moment, we have developed quite a detailed and accurate calculator, capable of determining influence within the UN, GDP, political efficiency, military information and much more.

If you would like to receive this service, please post the following information:

Roleplayed population (no more than your NS population!)
Civil freedoms
Political freedoms
Economic rating
Economic theory (market/planned)
