How is your climate controlled? That is the question!
Our climate is very good! We have a large invisible bubble around our nation and area's rightfully belonging to our nation! It is controlled by the Department of Meterology in Old Havana but has several 'places' all over the nation that sub-command the wheather!
We have a summer temp of 27 deg, a winter temp of 25. Spring & Autumn are somewhere between them! We have plenty of rainfall each year. However we can alter it to hit drough-affected area's or whatever. So those working for out Dept. controll the weather! Pretty neat!
So if its drying up a bit, we can send some rain down, little hot we can make some breezes! However we keep Cyclones and so on turned off, but they are there!

Weather Control is an extreemly difficult skill for any Sorcer/Sorcerss to learn. It would take many years and years of practice. So thus, generally our weather is controlled by nature its self.

Summer Tempratures average 90 degrees F

Winter averages about 10-20-30 F

Rain Fall:

Summer: 14 inches

Winter: 25 inches

Fall: 19 inches

Spring: 20 inches

Floods are commong, but are easilly controlled or maintained.

Cool!

Stroggos used to be a diverse planet with multiple weather systems, ranging from arid deserts, to temperate green regions to frigid tundra.

Modern Stroggos has suffered from thousands of years of unregulated industrial expansion. The entire planet suffers from extremely high wind speeds, high temperatures, a lack of protecton from deadly solar radiation and a lack of moisture either in the atmosphere or on the ground. Oxygen content in the atmosphere is dangerously low. Rainfall no longer occurs, cloud coverage is minimal and usually consists of dangerous chemicals rather than water vapour. UV radiation penetrates easily thanks to a thin ozone layer (UV radiation permeates so easily that a mere three minutes exposure is highly dangerous), but heat fails to escape thanks to a thick carbon dioxide content, causing an average surface temperature of nearly 70 degrees Celsius.

All in all, Stroggos has been rendered uninhabitable to most forms of life thanks to a relentless industrial machine. Only the Strogg, with their cybernetic augmentations, can (or would want to) live there.

Its good for you, but would work for me!
Our 'bubble' was also designed to disolve bad things and reverse greenhouse effects in our nation! Although were a clean nation, things can go wrong! Millions hit the beaches to get a good tan without developing any sort of Skin Cancer! So you can tan all your life on our beaches and not get hit!

In the Confederate Republic of ChevyRocks, weather just sorta happens. So while in the southern regions it's relatively moderate weather, it can get very cold at times. Also, blizzards, tornados, and some flooding does occur.

In the southern regions, temperature gets up to about 90-100 F normally in summer, and down to -10 F in winter. In the north, the temperature rarely gets above freezing except during June, July, and August.

The Pythogrian climate is incredibly tropical on the southern areas, arctic on the north (And of course, on top of the Arcolo Mountains), but is relatively mild in the centre (think a good bit warmer than Canada).

Romanar deals with the weather the way many MT nations do - we gripe about it. It's a 4 season, temperate area, which means it's too hot in the summer, and too cold in the winter.

Some environmentalists have claimed that our growing industry is harming our climate, but corporate-funded research has proven that we have nothing to worry about.

Ok, so i presume its natural-controlled!
Very good! Cananda can get warm in summer so a little warmer. Yeah i can live with that!

So its like North America a bit!

Yeah, the only man-controlled climate in my nation is our farming biospheres, and our space station.

Ok, thats good! Have you ever considered man-made climates to alter the 4 season to the right tempreture? What about Rainfall?
Man-Made climates have an advantage of helping Crops too!

Sorry about the 'quotes'!
Life goes on....

Anyone else have a climate controlled or partially controlled by Man?

OOC: Yeah, for my FT nation. My MT nation relies on good 'ole nature.

Well it seems to me everyone enjoy good old nature! Occasionally maybe for a week every year, we turn the 'bubble' off so citizens can experience a little 'outside world'!

If your MT, I'm 200% sure thats not possible.

Just throwing that out there.

I have a question: What natral disatsters are you susseptible to, San Haven?

I have a question: What natral disatsters are you susseptible to, San Haven?

All of them, if our generators loose their power for a period of time. Even though we have backup generators, you can't always trust them!

Occasionally we get the odd flood in the east. The east receives the most water. Very Rarely (once every five or so years) we get a small tsuanmi south, but thats about all, oh hang on we get landslides in the rugged east, very common (the population in the whole eastern region is under half a million, everyone lives west & south! The North has the capital but!)

What about volcanoes or earthquakes? Or hurricanes?

We're susseptible to avalanches, a couple volcanoes, a tsunami once every thousand years, typhoons, and tornadoes on Mesio Island.

No Volcanoes, some of the east is rugged!
Ah, yes earthquakes only happen about once every 15 years or so, very low-risk however and no tornadoes!

We have made some of the south coast a little more windy, to kick up the waves, for surfing! We have millions of tourists each year and the majortity go to the south for the beaches!

Wait a minute... you practice climate control? Wow. I'd assume this is expensive?

Well, the initial project costs around US$45 Billion annually, but you can gain that back, by using it to help the crops!
Climate-Crops-Export-Importer=Money!

Only 45 Billion USD? Something like that would be PMT and trillions. (Nothing wrong with PMT though. I'm PMT.)

We purchased it off an anoyamous ex-nation. They Found no use for it! But even though it's very advanced and has a lot of technology in it, the power it uses is nothing! The entire system is controlled both online and using its official software! We have a program that enables us to see the entire nation, and bang we can drop down same rain here, make it a little breezy over here!

Well, that's possible (using cloud seeding and electrical chargrs and such) but it would need a few nuclear reactors on it, and if it's a dome, you're going to need to be a small island.

Our entire nation is about the size of cuba 1 and a half times bigger (including all the islands!) The 'bubble' as it is known cover the entire area and the waters around it (Only up to 50 miles offshore)! It is generated by Nuclear Reactors and has twin backup reactors! We have 12 plants (Where we can operate and repair problems on the bubble) all over the country except in Santa Rosa! So were can keep it fully-operating and running well!

Well, that'll work... but this'd have to be one light dome.

Sure is, and is invisible! Aircraft wouldn't even know that the bubble is there! You wouldn't feel a thing going through it!

Clear maybe, but invisible is impossible. What exactly is it made of?

(OOC: AeroGel would work for this.)

Well, yeah ok then its very clear!
Its made of a gel (XBlueX Gel) that is found in Jamacia!

OCC: I must go now, homework time, be back in an hour or two!

OOC: Yep, see ya!

OCC: You could consider purchasing a similar climatic system from our government!

MOndoth's climate is primarily controlled by nature, but recent experiments by the Mondothian Meterological society have led to the creation of a system that is begining to be experimineted with as a way to alter the climate over Mondoth, the project is extremely secret though and has had little success

While we allow our climate to remain under the guiding hands of nature.

We prepare our citizens with the most effective forecasting device ever--it 100% correct 100% of the time.

Each person is issued a "Weather Rock" which they may hang from their porch or a window exterior. Or even rest upon their front lawn or roof.

When seeking to know the weather they need merely check the rock...if it is wet--it is raining
If the rock is cold--the tempture will surely be approxiamation of the rocks temperture
If the rock is warm the same correlation can be made

If the rock is covered in frozen water this means snow or sleet--occasionally hail.

If one should loose their weather rock, they call the office ofthe Minister of the Interior----at which point They will be told to

Stick their head out a fecking window and look.

To Skibereen!

Well its a cool way! I had something similar when we founded our nation! But not nearly as good!

To Mondoth!
Perhaps we could invest into your nation, and have better results by building and maintaining a climatic system? Your choice!

Well, Kahanistan is MT. Does digging canals and irrigating to reverse desertification count as climate control?

Well, Kahanistan is MT. Does digging canals and irrigating to reverse desertification count as climate control?

OOC: Actually, yeah. It does.But about San Haven's offer:

Pythogria prefers to keep it's climate (mostly) natural. One of our values is to mess with nature as little as possible.

Sure does! I understand about you wanting to keep as natural as possible! We do to, besides the climatic system! The systems helps the economy and nature yeild its best results!
