Colourful? As in flamboyant? I'd say every country needs a flamboyant leader, but every time I think something like that, I just think of Elton John as the Queen of England. (Get it? Witty pun, no?)
Also, as an Australian, I can speak for the entire 20 million of us on this continent: I hate Stephen Harper.

As a Canadian, I speak on behalf of at LEAST 15 million Canadians in saying, WE HATE HIM TOO! (thats why he got a minority)

Because he's boring and Canadian? I mean, if he invaded someone we could at least make fun of him, but he doesn't appear to do much, so we don't like him.

Mind you, that would be quite fun to watch.

I have some comebacks for that, but I'd rather not turn this into a serious political discussion, khas ve khalilah.
Anyhow, is JosephStalinator currently active?

Regarding staznesIX:
That's the benefit of a contiguous state instead of some crappy colonial empire. Deal with it.
And furthermore, the correct answer is closer to 10, which isn't much more ridiculous than oh, say, what Great Britain got from knocking off Portugal and part of Spain (which somehow aren't rebelling or anything) and investing in places like Cork or buying other people's colonies. Oh, and their military was better right off the bat, saving them dozens and dozens of EP right out of the gate, simply as an example. So, in short, none of you except the tiny states or lesser powers have a right to really complain over much, and then again, you're tiny states or lesser powers, so why are you expecting something different? Savvy?
I'm America. If you people want to pretend your cities in places like Ireland or some desolate area of the earth are more productive than places like San Diego, Detroit, or Pittsburgh, that's definitely your problem, not mine.

Because the last time we trended towards a political discussion, the thread was closed.

But Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham and the Tyneside conurbation (at least in the 1930s without a WWI) should be equal to those cities; Liverpool having 6 times the population of San Diego at this point in time - it's just he's developing silly places

There is also the problem that some have fewer cities per population - America in staznes has 105-110 'cities' for 150m people, whilst the UK has 20 for 45 million and germany has 33 for 70 million. These ratios give million per cities ratios of 1.4, 2.25 and 2.1 respectively - you have more chances to make ECs than they do
. Frankly Uk and germany should have, and are able to support a lot more ECs in the homelands than they do now - its just a constraint of the rules that a city cannot be more than 1 EC: NYC and London should be producing at least 4-5 a piece.

I find it funny that one of the strongest nation in the games is *****ing about how it can't become even more ridiciously stronger.

Nice reading comprehension there. I'm defending why I have what I do, not whining that I can't get more. It's other people who are complaining. A for effort, F for ability.
Ah yeah, surely he would. MjM doesn't get ruffled over commentary and hold or grudge over being called undependable or lazy or anything and proceed to moan about it like some moody teenager at every opportunity thereafter, that'd be below him.
Excuse me sir, but that's an improper term for it, unless the thing being exploited was you and you were complicit in it since I asked you every one of those prices and you were the who gave all of them to me.
And about half of those appear to be developed to boot.Disenfrancised said:But Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham and the Tyneside conurbation (at least in the 1930s without a WWI) should be equal to those cities; Liverpool having 6 times the population of San Diego at this point in time - it's just he's developing silly places
If it was a straight representation of 1 city for 1 million people it would still be 150:45:70 or 30:9:14, so if all things were equal I would also have more chances to make ECs than they do, simply by virtue of: having more people, more resources, and a bigger country.There is also the problem that some have fewer cities per population - America in staznes has 105-110 'cities' for 150m people, whilst the UK has 20 for 45 million and germany has 33 for 70 million.

As to the latter: oh well, deal the cards you got. Nobody, yourself included, has yet developed something more advanced, and it's rather too late to change things now in this particular instance.
