Since they CTE'ed kinda like NPCing the area which hasn't had the most consistent activity since SSA long ago. We've RPed but never really demarcated other than me....IDK if the changes to the border I made were kept by google.

Well the WA is just a very ignorable just like the real UN feature so my thoughts are just to ignore it lol

In the past I've claimed Bolivia's historic coastline between the River Loa and the 25th Parallel, and while I plan on making that part of SI's original border following independence, I'm going to review what's currently on the map and see if I can't come up with something more original and not wacky. That said, do we have a link somewhere for the most recently updated economy and population figures? In my mind I've always seen SI as a more successful version of IRL's Bolivia, with a much higher population, higher HDI, larger European immigration in the last two centuries, and stronger economy.

While traveling the internet, found the following. Its what happened to a little girls family after she became famous in a photo with Stalin. Yes, poor kid and her family. They were loyal but more then likely that photo brought fame and chances are power hungry co-workers of the father did not like it at all. So they tramped up some story.

That's so tragic. Thanks for the share (even though it made me sad!)

Entre Rios flag looks sort of like that general prohibition sign. Example of what I mean -

SI. in order to cheer you up since you remain landlocked. The following -

Population is down to individuals but... there is a ‘rule of thumb’ - see below.

So as per the above ‘rule of thumb’... Whilst not official I’ve always thought plus or minus 50% of the real world population was always reasonable. As for demographics, entirely player’s discretion. Neragua is Welsh settled Patagonia on steroids with some Hispanic flare in Santiago (about as Hispanic as California is).

Parts of the top 10 list for regional influence (soft power score) looks menacing. Most are part of the so called Southern Cone.
1. Amwestheim
2. Calimera
3. Neragua
4. SI.
7. Aurea
10. New Catalonia

Seems what happened around Jan, 2018 affected our soft power scoring. The following compares Rio and Aurea -
nation=aurea/detail=trend/regions=south_america/censusid=65?add_self=1

I'll be Santa Thereza's 2nd sponsor for the map. :)

That's just regional influence though isn't it? That's kind of heavily distorted by membership of the WA.

I think our region's IC regional power scale would probably look similar enough though. In terms of economic and political clout, well Ner is probably 1st, Amwestheim is probably solid 2nd. Aurea, Calimera, Tayrona and you, Rio Cana, would fill out the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th positions (not necessarily in that order though.) Then the top 10 would probably be rounded out by myself, New Cat and SI (again not necessarily in that order.)

It's the real ER flag so thought I'd use it. But anyone can design me a new flag!

Entre Rios, recommend you get rid of that red bar. Sort of looks like the flag of the Uruguayan department of Canelones.

The following shows the flags of the departments of Uruguay. Maybe you can find one to your liking.

That cricket World Cup Final was insane! I take it Ner is the only nation that plays cricket in the region haha.

Rio, I was left as delegate for over 2 years because the WA is a joke and has too much influence. I'm not as influential in reality like that.

Would you say becoming a delegate has any sort of impact or no?

So game generated statistics are laughably flawed and far from RP; but yes becoming Delegate for many years gives an unrealistic boost.

I was working on some but couldn't produce much further without a map and populations. We have the map now I just need the populations. At the minute I'm thinking of using an online form to gather the data.

Literally inches in it! I felt bad for NZ but hey it’s not like England didn’t deserve it! Nail-biting game, though, definitely. And I can confirm as the sole English-speaking South American country, cricket is a big sport in Neragua (though rugby’s considered our ‘national sport’).

He is quick - very quick!

Many thanks to Tayrona for putting together this ‘South American economic questionnaire’. I’ve set up the form and the link is at the bottom of this post.

Any and all questions and comments are welcome, though anything specific is best directed towards Tayrona (sorry bud).

If anybody else needs a regional survey like this one, which isn’t suitable for the regional polls, then feel free to contact me and we’ll arrange it.

And now... the questionnaire!

https://forms.gle/QZZ7qzGyq6FKEynZ7

I did the form.

Looking through the form now. For population, we're not allowed to go over 150% of the URL population of those territories, right? I definitely envisioned SI to have a population similar to that of Peru due to more immigration and stability, but that'd be almost 3 times the population of IRL Bolivia lol

Filled in the form, excited for the result! :D

Looking forward to the questionnaire results! It was very in depth, so I tried to stay in track with current tax rates in Brasil at the moment.

So about the form. It is in-depth but the in-depth stuff is not a requirement. The only information I really need is the mandatory fields.

The point of the questions is for you to tell me what you imagine your nation to be like. The point of the result is for me to tell you what your nation is realistically like.

Think of it like this: you want to build a house. I am the architect. The mandatory questions are the foundation blocks. The optional questions are the walls and roof. Like in real life, the house you want and the house it is possible to build may be two different things.

Well that rule is not in effect anymore. We had too many cases in which we could disprove claims that 150% of RL population is what is feasible when statistically the populations are not tied necessarily to land.

Neat, I'll get on that form after work. Thanks!
