Well, it was time for the next budget in Pythogria. Healthcare? Check. Defense? Check. Everything else? Check.

But... The Supreme General thought, That Education budget seems excessive...

He asked his advisor, "Do you think the Education Budget is too big? At $1,024,123,547,905?"

"Um... sir... that's almost all of our money."

"I'm aware of that."

"Take it out and put it in Law."

"Well... I'm not sure. I think I'll ask the world for help."

Pythogria's Education Department gets $1,024,123,547,905 a year. D oyou believe this is too much? We are having trouble deciding where it should go.

OOC: Please post if you vote.

EDIT: To check my budget, look here: http://www.sunsetrpg.com/nsxmlparser.php

After looking at your budget, I'd say military. Just because, really.

8% is too little?

OOC: I voted Law to represent my advisor.

According to my source it says 5%...

Well, anyway, onward.

Education is a good investment. But a bit of health care or public transportation could be nice.

Heathcare is suffering the most, so that's one vote for that.

I'm sure that your military could use an increased budget so that you may purchase more systems from my nation.

Lol. Sorry, but I'm designing my own equipment.

Welfare, or military if you think war is coming in the next few years.

Ahh, well done.

hmmm... the link isn't working for me, but I said military anyways, because military always needs more

Well then, military it is. I'm always in a war.

Ahh, well done.

Thanks. I'm going to sell it soon!

Your defense needs nothing, as long as you're fairly peaceful...... i would go with law and order! very important ;D

I happen to be in two wars right now, three if you count my super-strict anti-terrorist policy.

n00b question: how, exactly, do I get my country involved in world affairs (i.e., where do I post)?

No question is stupid.

But you basically buy/build an army, and post declaring war and stuff. Here, follow my war with KooleKoggle to learn. Watch the beginning for diplomacy and the rest for war!

Thanks.

Thanks.

No problem. Want to buy from me? I can provide assualt rifles, sidarms, AT weapons, MBTs, HBTs, cruisers, fighters, fighter/bombers, aircraft carriers, battleships, APCs, and soon an IFV.

First off, where do you want it? It is after all your nation. Abuse it or love it, they're your people, your government, so on. So, where do you want the money to go?

Now, what I think. I know I'm the only one, but you got nothing in Commerce. Not even 1%, I say add some money there, maybe then you get a better economy.

I think I got my balanced out quite nice, theres still a few lose ends I want to tie up, but overall I'm happy with the budget, and so are my people. :)

If you wondering why I have so much in Education, well I give free education to all. From Pre-school all the way too college. So, you figure out how much it cost for teenagers to get drunk all the time and me have to pay for me it. Lousy people. Oh,well I tax their ass off with 100%, so they should atleast get something back. LOL. Then again I got a great economy and over 3 billion people. You know what a headache that is to listen to 3 billion. Ones enough. Wheres the issue, opps lets kill the idiots says General Crap.

Anyway, I say the general point of this post is, my countries bigger then yours and I say put it in Commerce or I'm invading you and doing it myself. :D

EEK!

Yes, sir! Commerce it is! Don't invade!

OOC: I could PROBABLY repel you with all my allies though.

I generally vote for commerce. Commerce pays for everything else. A strong economy will increase the total dollars for all the other categories. This is why you see countries like New China Republic pouring money into commerce to get big bucks for the military. It is also why the Allied Yankee States beat the Russkies who poured all their money into the military.

Ensuring proper administration of a government is key to its success. After all, in order to ensure that the government gets the most out of its employees, proper - that is to say competent and incorruptible - administration is necessary. Additional funds would certainly be of benefit.

I figured I'd do something rather different...

As long as you put atleast 1% of your GDP into Commerce I won't invade. But, I be keeping an eye to make sure you do.

OCC: How many allies you got? I lost track of how many I had.

OOC: I'm part of the Daileyan Federation, and i'm allies with Northford, Franberry, Edioniakistanbeabeagua, Eonopolis, Moantha, Spit break, Zackaroth, BK, Cravan, and I'll be a member of GAPTS once my population is high enough.

EDIT: And Aequatio is my friend. Thanks!

The Aequatian Republic has a large interest into the nation of Pythogria, any threats posed against the nation and its citizenry will be considered a threat to the national interests of Aequatio and in turn, our fine republic itself. The threat of invasion posed by United Earthlings will not be tolerated, we demand you repeal the decision at once, or we will be forced to act.

Most NS nations throw it into military for their armies. :P

OOC: Pythogria, check telegrams.

EDITED OOC: And I wouldn't mind being added to that list of your allies...

Well, we have the weaponry that will be necessary for the coup, but as Moantha is an island nation, we feel that the first focus of the millitary buildup should be naval.
