"I am quite honored to have topped the list, although I must say that while some might hint I live a decadent lifestyle, I would like to put forth the idea that I certainly do not. I live a comfortable lifestyle, not decadent by any stretch of the imagination."



Dieter Thaller





(Ooc- he has about 100 different estates, owns over 500 square miles of land, and has a main mansion about 4 times the size of Stalingrad, which is 6 floors with each floor being 200,000 sq feet, for a total of 1.2 million square feet. Dieter Thaller has a 4.8 million square foot palace, that is his main residence, the only residence larger than the mansion at Stalingrad)

Yes, the Fabus Family is the richest family, but individual wise, it is Dieter Thaller.

Roger doesn't get jealous, there have only been a few things that others that he wanted, one being Alice, another being Angola, Namibia, and South Africa. Thus far, he's gotten all of them, so he's happy.

Yeah, because he refused to charge people "Feudal dues" (Peasants have to pay to use the land they farm, since almost all land is owned by nobles. Also peasants have to pay to use anything such as tractors, mills, etc, since most of that is owned by the nobles as well. Henry finds it morally repugnant to charge people for using things they need to stay alive)

Ooc- He is viewed negatively by some in MS, since he is basically the only public official who married a woman technically not legally white under MS law (she is 90% white, granted the other 10% is neither black or jew, it is Aztec) but still, the legal technical cut-off is 93.75% white with the other 6.25% being neither jew nor african) While Henry would never have even considered marrying somebody that was say, 25% non-white or anything like that, he didn't see a 3.75% difference as anything really significant. It was a rather arbitrary law, although in Mississippian Egypt, white is defined as 96.875% or more white.

Though in Camel Eaters he'd be considered a hero for sacrifing his own personal wealth and comfort for the people. Also he'd be held in high asteem because the people consider eccentricy to be an admirable trait and going outside the norm a highly held ideal.

He didn't sacrifice comfort, nobody in their right mind would ever need more than 1 trillion dollars. He was given 10 million dollars by his father in 1990 (when Henry was 7) by 1999, Henry had 100 billion dollars, by 2003, he had 2 trillion, he gave away about 1/2 of his money though. Still, 1 trillion is more than enough to live on forever, he just didn't see a need to do what people such as Dieter and Hans did, in that I mean he didn't see a need to be some super-elite with more money than one could hope to count in a lifetime.

There will no evidence that I was 'trolling' or whatever. Layarteb is one of my closest allies, and it also happens he runs the Earth II claims thread, and if you will look in that thread it says Namibia belongs to the Cottonmouth. Dont get confused here my friend, I thought I had already cleared this up with you I dont know what makes you think you can just go around using it whenever you want.

"At this point in time, the Federal Reserve has determined that the Mississippian dollar is, quite literally, not worth the paper it is printed on. The currency clearly suffers from massive inflation, as the huge number of 'trillionaires' will attest to. Accordingly, the TSX has marked the MD as illegal tender on all global currency markets."

OOC: It's IC, because there's no possible way you can have this much wealth concentrated in the hands of a few people and not ruin your economy. According to the thirdgeek calculator, you have more cash in the hands of a few people than the total GDP. Therefore, my Finance Dpt. assumed that the 'cash' is worthless due to inflation and issued a statement that MD is not acceptable tender.

Ooc-

Private wealth, accumulated over 20 years by some of them (those who owe it to the Curtis regime) and over 50 years by others, should have little bearing on the overall economy. How does having an elite class ruin an economy? The USA has a rather well-off elite, but our economic problems in the USA are majorly because of out-sourcing, laws that make it hard for businesses to operate, doctors to work, etc, things like that. MS isn't handicapped by that, we outlawed outsourcing, and other such things that are only detriments to business. Again, can't I ever do something just for fun and to give people something to read without dozens of people coming out of the woodwork, harassing me in TGs, on my threads, and over IMs about it.

I don't mind so much a debate over IM, but when I need to just shut down all my IMs because dozens of people don't get that after 30 minutes of debating, and I get tired of it and have other things to do and want to leave, they need to stop. It's crazy. I try not to nag every thing everybody does.

I try to ask myself, "Does this concern me? Is this an immediate concern? Is this just something he'll have for some possible later character RPs? Is this something he's going to use against me in a military fashion? Overall how much does this impact me?"

If I have no stake in worrying about it, I just make some nice comments and praise it, or just ignore it and move along. I don't nag and nag.


Note, that only really the first part about wealth accumulation was directed at you. Much of this is just my general thoughts on various things.

Ooc-

You are quite correct, women (and indeed other female relatives) are included with either their husbands, fathers, brothers, sons, or male guardians, since women can't legally own property or hold assets in excess of a few 100,000 dollars. (Alice can hold any amount of wealth she wants though, if she decided to, she'd keep it quiet so as not to stir any resentment up. She is the Czarina, she is not above the law, she is married to the law (Roger being the law) so basically she could own wealth, but no, she doesn't, she is counted in with Roger)

Are they going to invest in MS infrastructure, finance science projects like that secret council (the genetic and telekinesis thing from a couple months ago), invest it in the economy, donate some of it to programs like the WKM, etc?

They mostly invest the money, usually it goes to domestic investment in capital, infrastructure, and business ventures, resource exploitation.


They spend lots of money maintaining their private armies and estates (most nobles have at least a small army ranging from 20-30 private mercenary guards to the massive 100,000 strong Thaller Securities Company. Don't forget, Roger and Alice each have an SRG division to guard them, but those two divisions are paid for by the tax payers)


Our rich tend to spend lots more (percentage wise) investing in Mississippi and the Commonwealth territories.
