Yui: Since I forgot to send orders (my bad), did you bank my money?

 

[silver 2039]

Wait update already happened....that was rather fast....I sort of missed orders. Doesn't my eco at least get banked or something? And I once again lack a military logistic level for some reason.

Yes silver your eco get banked. In fact take $1000,0000,0000,00000 for free.

 

[Yui108]

Yui: Since I forgot to send orders (my bad), did you bank my money?

Sp No, I did not. And Silver, I am sorry. Your military logistics level is 4. Also, there was a week for people to send orders...

EDIT: ECO IS NOT BANKED

 

[Yui108]

A_prop, man I'm really sorry. Checking my word document.
EDIT: Silver I'm sorry I missed your questions. A_prop, I must have forgot to save my word document when I got your orders and edited France, it is completely my fault.

 

[silver 2039]

What exactly is miscellaneous expenditure for?

 

[Locker]

OOC
I subsidize companies, try to buy nuclear weapons on the black market , and rig elections with my Misc. expenditures. None of these really fit into the broad categories of Welfare and Military, except for the nukes (but they're more for future terrorism than active military use).

It's also where funding to the EU would be paid.

Whatever doesn't fit anywhere else => Misc expenditure

 

[Yui108]

What exactly is miscellaneous expenditure for?

Technoloy, Miscellanious stuff (a.k.a space programs), and then you can put it into the other categories. Yet some may be lost to corruption.

 

[Frozen In Ice]

Probably because you didn't buy anything. If you wish, you can resend orders...

I did send orders that included spending money on things. I've resent them, along with this turns orders.

 

[silver 2039]

My research into 5th generation aircraft shows 5/6 completed. How much more money is required for it to be completed?

[Sheep]

The Great Prime Minister Valdimir Putin announces that he is the epitome of manliness and is incredibly fit and sexy

MOSCOW — Just weeks after Russia’s state-run media reported that Prime Minister Vladimir V. Putin had saved a news crew from a wild tiger, he is flexing his muscles again, this time in an instructional martial arts video.

A montage on Russian television of the white-robed prime minister body-slamming opponents accompanied the release of the video, “Let’s Learn Judo With Vladimir Putin,” in Mr. Putin’s hometown, St. Petersburg, on Tuesday.

At a news conference coinciding with Mr. Putin’s 56th birthday, the prime minister described the video’s title as a “marketing trick.”

“Anyone who watches this material will learn not from your humble servant, but from true masters,” he said.

The video is part of a growing media library highlighting Mr. Putin’s masculinity that includes episodes of Mr. Putin, a former K.G.B. agent, bare-chested on a fishing expedition and in flight in a fighter jet. No cameras were rolling when Mr. Putin was said to have tranquilized the tiger as it stalked the journalists who had accompanied the prime minister and some scientists on a scientific expedition to Russia’s Far East in late August.

The judo video includes instructional tips from Mr. Putin, a black belt, and from Yasuhiro Yamashita, a former world champion, among others, according to press reports. It will first be sold in martial arts schools throughout the country, and only later at some unspecified date will it be available to the public, First Channel, a state broadcaster, reported.

In one video fragment shown on Russian television, an Asian-style flute whistles in the background, as a black-clad Mr. Putin describes the principles of judo.

“The name itself carries the foundational philosophy: to receive the greatest result with little, but effective, effort,” he says. “In a bout, compromises and concessions are allowed, but only in one case: if it is for victory.”

Mr. Putin has been an avid sports promoter in Russia, and in eight years in power he has overseen a major sports revival after years of neglect to the country’s once grandiose athletic infrastructure.

“Without sport,” Mr. Putin said at Tuesday’s news conference, “it is impossible to speak about a healthy lifestyle or the health of a nation.”
