Multipolarity II - Game Thread

Revisions, delicious revisions.

-Industry cap no longer applies to Espionage. Espionage is weak enough due to the low replenishing rate of agents that this should be fine. Also keeps NGOs from becoming near-invincible since they, lacking Industry, have no upper limit. NGOs still have the advantage of a higher replenishing rate.

-NGOs can have 5 missions per turn instead of nations' 3. This was implemented due to complaints from NGO players, and also gives them another specific bonus.

Do I really need a country? Ideally, OCP would be a floating company without defined borders beyond the buildings that make up our branches.

Given all the other ones have one I just reasoned it'd be fair. :p

On another note, if I am allowed to build branches, would the system still be 1*Profitability?

In all likelihood, since I'd like to keep the systems the players are all running on to a minimum. Thus far we have:

-The standard country system
-The corporate city-state system
-The major NPC system
-The minor NPC system
-The corporation system
-The NGO system

Six sets of mechanics / behaviors already.

Exactly. Do yeself a favor and let good ol' Sonereal not bother with nationbuilding and focus on maximizing profit for everybody. ;)

That way you don't have to track another country and the company. Since my stock would be limited to players/NPC countries for purchase, I can worry about things like calculating stock worth, how much stock I have, etc. and all you would need to worry about I believe is the corporate power (yay for approval), RNG profitability, and reporting revenue.

And other security measures of course.
 
The Federal Idea of President George :

Proffesor Linhuan Sin:

Beijing University

''Students, in this lesson we shall learn more about the Secret events between the Mobolization of the Army and the Invasion of the Demon Realm.'' Linhuan said to his students, who were excited to learn about something new, ''In 2160, a historic meeting took place in Uruqmi, capital of the Republic of China. President George had called Representives from all Chinese States to meet with the leadership of the most powerfull Chinese State of that time, the Republic of China. President George proposed a Union, a Federal Union between those States to create a huge Republic of China. If the other Chinese States agreed, the new Chinese State would become the largest and most powerfull state in the World.

There was going to be a Central Government that would take care of the Foreign and Military policy. The Economic policy was going to be let to the States. Also there would a Senate where all states would send representives to vote upon Foreign policy.

However, the several Chinese Republics and Kingdoms refused. The Idea of a United China would be dead, if President George did not decided to Invade the DR. He would then Invade Shnghai, Tibet and many other Chinese States and unify them under one Republic. But he had not forseen the betrayal of India nor the epic campaigns of King George or the heroism of the Chinese Resistance Forces. What he though that it would be a small regional war, became the start of a decade of warfare.''
 
Did, did I just woke up to the Chinese Empire wanting to go to war against the Chinese Union over perceptions of a tarnished national image? What's next a satellite that shoots rainbows and an announcer says "Taste the rainbow, matter hatter!!!"?

What war? There is no war. The opposition wants war. The Government wants peace.
 
The Union attacks once again the Nation

Fail.

From Empire of China
To Union of China:


In order to improve the relations between our two nations, we propose a student exchange. 40 Imperial Students will go for 2 weeks to study in your National University, while 40 Union Students will go to Beijing university to study for 2 weeks. What do you say?
We would be happy to welcome Imperial students wishing to broaden their minds, but we will not legislate an exchange, since this is a private arrangement, either between universities or by the free choice of individuals.

We also regret to say that the academic reputation of Beijing University is not held in high regard. :undecide:

Official Power: +2 Stability, -10% RR. Costs: 10% of your spendable income (keeping with balance and all)

OCP is putting up a fifty stock this year. 40 Common, 10 Preferred Stock.

Preferred Stock, valued higher, is stock which has no voting power but demands a higher share of dividends when we pay them out.

Common Stock Worth: $4 each
Preferred Stock Worth: $5 each

Services

Securities: OCP will buy and sell securities. Securities, in this case, are microloans. You can buy an OCP Security for $1 which has a 10% interest rate and is paid back next turn. Securities don't round up, and therefore it is recommended buying in bulk.

Loans: We offer traditional loans as well.

Consumer Products: See our official power stated above.

Economy Insurance: The OCP can insure your GDP. Contact us privately for details.

Information: OCP's think tank is a valuable tool for any world leader. One that buys and disperses information for a nominal fee.

We will also be happy to accept Union students.
 
The guard was looking bored. He knew guarding the parliament would be part of his duties when he signed up for the military police but that didn’t make standing outside the gate more exciting. Just do have something to do he he began to check the perimeter again, even though he knew it would be peacefull. Then his gaze fell on an animal, it was a furry little animal, pretty cute actually. The animal met his eye and stared at him intently, appearing to be thinking. It moved his head slightly, as if it had come to a conclusion, and started thumping the ground in some sort of ritme.

The soldier looked quizzickaly at the animal and, concluding that it should be somebody’s pet, started to walk towards it. Al of a sudden something shot from underground, grabbed his ankle and dragged him down. He never had time to scream, so fast had it happen and where the soldier had stood was now a gaping hole. Out of the hole a second animal came climbing, it looked similar to the first but this one was the size of two men and it looked as if it had a pouch on its belly. Following this animal were more animals, smaller than the great animal but larger than the first.

The animals lined up and the smallest hopped past, as if inspecting them. After the inspection he thumped the ground twice and the animals stormed the parliament.


The President was sitting in his office finishing some papers. It was almost 6 o’clock and he needed to leave. If he came to late his wife would kill him, he had missed their last two datenights she wouldn’t look to kindly upon him it happened again. He reached for his last set of papers when his door was broken down. Two large animals stormed in and took position at walls of his office. Behind the animals followed a smaller one. It was a durry little animal, pretty cute actually. With open mouth the president looked at the creatures that had entered his office and when he thought he couldn’t be more flabbergasted, the smal animal started talking.
“Do you know the Chinese zodiac calender, my good man?” the animal asked
“I… I…Know of it…” the president manage to say
“That will have to do, I would hate it if my pun was not understood.” With that he nodded and for tentacles shot from the two larger animals grabbing the president.
“The year of the Rabbit has come early this cycle.” the smallest rabbit said as the president was defenestrated.

Buying 2 Preferred Stock from OCP

Noted.

OCP has 39 branches available for placement. We do hope people take advantage of the abundance of OCP stock to get some of the industry-boosting goodness.

The Government of New Babylon has officially been established, and new diplomats have been dispatched to the major nations of the world to seek recognition of the New Babylon state.

The newly instated Foreign Minister Alec Mura has also agreed to new trade agreements with Katterland and Anatolia, pending approval from the Minister of Commerce and President Yasin.
 
The Holy Pontiff, Stalin the First, proclaims today to be Commie Day, a day where we celebrate all that Stalin gave us in his word through Marx.
 
The Chinese Union should like to purchase 1 Preferred and 2 Common shares of OCP.



In other news, I think I've got a candidate for South England, alias Airstrip One:

Tory? Check.

Hates commies? Oh yeah.

Will gas Africa his enemies? Er, not publicly...

Stalin knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fall, then the whole world, including the United StatesKatterland, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science.

Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth lasts for a thousand years, men will still say, “This was their finest hour!”

Airstrip One. ;)

Actually, I guess I'll need to see the stats first, including the state of Sone's bioweapons programme. :mischief:

I'll definitely need a map before determining who's North.
 
Currently, OCP has $413 in assets, $390 from startup and $23 from Preferred Stock sales.

As it stands, our first 39 branches will be built in (checking) in Crusader and UoC territory.
 
Vice President of OCP, Donald Johnson, fixed his tie and took a deep breath. Johnson was composed, competent, and above all else, confident in his ability. He turned the handle, pushed the door open, and stepped into the Old Man's Office.

The "Old Man" raised his head and smiled. "Thank God you're here Johnson. A man can only read so many reports saying 'everything is fine' before he wants fired out a window like Dick Jones."

Johnson forced a smile. Dick Jones was the former/I] vice president. The man was fired seconds before Robocop shot him with a high-powered handgun, pushing him straight out of the boardroom window into a car several dozen stories below. "Could be worse, sir. You could be Dr. Faxx."

It was the Old Man's turn to force a smile, but he was better at it than Johnson. Dr. Juliette Faxx had oversaw the disastrous Robocop 2 program which ended with a bastard creation that killed dozens of reporters, civilians, cops, and worse yet, stockholders. "Both of those robots are scrapped now, thank God for that! So, what did you want to discuss, Johnson."

"Sir, if I may." The Old Man nodded; Johnson sat in a chair, "The expansion blitz. My reports are saying that 66% of our new factories and operations are opening in the Union of China?"

"Yes. Twenty-six operations in the UoC, thirteen in Israel. Why?"

"The boys keep asking for confirmation on the pattern of state OCP stock ownership and where the big thirty-nine are being built. I wanted to confirm if that is the case."

The Old Man laughed, "Stockholders expect things from us. Namely, they buy our stock and products, we create jobs in their country and look over running sweatshops in Somalia. I miss the good ol' days in Somalia."

For the umpteenth time in a decade, Johnson wondered how old the Old Man was. SRI ran Somalia how many centuries ago...? "Alright sir. And for dividends?"

"Thirty percent at most."

"Thirty percent." Johnson stood up. "Have a good day sir."

"You too, Johnson." When Johnson reached the door, he gave the Old Man one last look. The man was writing...something.

But there was no paper on his desk when Johnson was over there just a few seconds ago?
