$2,086,856,525,221.40-that was made by the bank own by them. they get this much every week. this is not including there weapons storefront, and insurance storefront, and there oil stockpile. weapons-tech is making money of his as* and fortune mag. only ranks him 14 th. thats not fair.

who agrees with me.

why don't you cry about it

{OOC}

With a little effort and idea, you too could actually be earning some significant cash. Complaining won't get you anywhere.

Whining = Pathetic

Two trillion is nothing.

to be honest, who cares? what junk is weapons-tech flaunting?

I don't understand these corporation nations. Do they have their own armies?

Two trillion is nothing. *produces stats*

you trust those calculators much too much.

Try A) assuming a higher GDP. contrary to their belife USA is not the largest and most powerful and economy could be, it tries to have some human rights and suchlike so it isnt. Your GDP is "frightening" so try maybe a frightening (but not stupid number) like $60000 per head. (maybe $50000 if your nation isnt just a money driven authoritarian psycho state) Why people think that the USa is the pinnacle of what could be achieved economically i dont know?

I mean "frightening" economies are ones whose emphasis on economics trades off other aspects of life, the reason they scare people is becasue they have probably stripped away a few human rights and morals to get there. Same with all consuming. As such the GDp will exceed USA as these nations have crossed lines that the USA would never do (or any other civilisaed nation for that matter)

NS states might do this but in real life has nayone every put a "compulsory consumerist stae" together yet?

B) your % of GDP spent on military is good for a nation at proper war, its not a good thing for long periods of time. Its a bit high, especially for such a rich economy. Poorer nations might spend more on military, but with a "frightening" economy your nation is geared up to earn cash, not to fight.

So lower it a lot.

Infact the net effect of this will be that your military spending doesnt actually change.

Im just saying that you are approaching it from entirely the wrong angle.

First off, the stats are in my sig.
Second, I put 15% because I have a huge military. Thousands of tanks, if not more. Scores of ships. Flocks of aircraft. A space fleet. They have running costs, and in my eyes that goes out of the defense fund. I'm rarely at war, but 1. I like to be ready, and 2. I like to send a force that can decimate anyone who does attack me or if I decide to attack anyone.
Third, I'm not even a Compulsery Consumerist State.
And finally, 2 trillion is still nothing.

Mind you, the USA doesnt paticuarly need to be a really powerful economy, it has control of the world trade organisation (something like that) and just screws the world over to get loads of money :P Also, sadly, the US goverment is taking a slide towards dictatorship or a "big-brother" type of goverment. They are beginning to introduce some barcoding thing or something, or maybe they were little cards that have all your info on it and you use it for everything....damn I went off track, and I have to agree, 2 trillion is not very much, not nothing but not very much.


P.S I'm pro American but not Pro-american-goverment

yes, but you are powerful economy. Frightening is a level that cannot be achived in RL without some considerabel sacrifices.

" a survey of the nation’s rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high" that kind of thing, looks familiar? Should do, i copied anmd pasted it from your national description.

You wouldnt have those fleets through large % of GDP spent on them Youd have them through the fact you are som damn rich.


2 trillion dwarfs my military budget

You see i read this

Im also a "frightening economy"

GDP per head $60000 * 572 million people =34320000000
Military spending 4% = $1372800000
research budget .5% of GDP = $171000000

I run my defense, I have thousands of tanks and a large space fleet, I dont have an airforce (my space light fighters can double as aircraft as can my bombers) I have a small navy, and only three hundred thousand troops, but they are the best in the galaxy if not universe. We pay 20% of the total cost each year to run them. Ihave about 5 trillion dollars worth of armed forces and spend a trillion keeping them going. (well a bit more these days, im being very approximate)

and 20% is about what the US spends running and repairing its forces. I lokked it up. And thats for this year with a military operation. So this even allows me to replace most things every 10 years and run repairs and refits.

What does the pesticide level in my nation have to do with anything?

can someone please post a link to the calculator thing?

silly me. i put thinkgeek instead of thirdgeek. hahahaha.

Hey RavenCorps. TIOR just declared WTI as a protectorate. We'll protect you if you want.

none of thses calcs are perfect though, they are just arough and underestimating guide.

silly me. i put thinkgeek instead of thirdgeek. hahahaha.

Not Weapons Tech Inc. I bought Military Weapons Inc.

And why would I attack Raven Corps? Now if he stole that sword...

*looks at title*
Four exclamation points, a true sign of madness.

i am no ones protectorate. And i have more then $2 trillion
If all of my assets were added up i would equal more then $2 quadrillion at the least and i dont flaunt junk. i have some of the most advanced modren tech equitment. also raven corps is a nut why are you listening to him?

Furthermore, Raven-whatever said that WTI makes a profit of 2 trillion per week... OK, from what I've seen it's generally assumed that either one RL day, or one RL week is equal to one NS year. So if WTI is going weekly, then they're making 2 trillion a year, and even at daily, it's still only 14 trillion a year, which is actually pretty feasible, all things considered.


Oh, by the way, it's too, not to.

this is my current asset count as of today. and i make that much every N.S. week- 1 day RL. but i am not bragging. i dont think i am ggod enough for that. all though my profits have went up 10 fold. i am pleased with the report.

silly me again. i'll just walk away now.

Ok, look. If you're complaining about how much money someone is making, then you've missed the point. Instead of complining, you should take a leaf out of their book and become productive yourself.

Can you actually run us through how you worked that out? I mean I've never actually seen your equipment storefront and Im pretty active so it can't be that popular, and Ive never seen anyone actually buy insurance. Also how do you make money on your bank? I understand how banks make money but do you have a forumla or do you just make up a percentage that you like?

Weapons-Tech makes 10% of the total amount of the bank's total.

Yeah that's my point. Does he have a formula for working that out or does he just think it would be nice to make that much. I only ask because RL banks make money by loaning it out at high interest rates, something that WTI doesn't do.
