Price Controls
RIC:Global overproduction meant that with Black Monday food prices crashed as people were now struggling to afford food. Smallholder farmers support the price controls for now, as it guarantees them a fair price to sell their produce at a time of low demand. Larger agribusiness are more against the price controls, as they are unable to demand higher profits. The public dislike paying more for food in bad times but the increase in the cost of living is not exorbitant.

However while demand is low for now, indigenous production is already dropping due to the price controls removing the incentive for larger yields. The seasonal nature of farming also means, that if production drops now it will have adverse effects the next year, leading to public discontent.

Budget Cuts and Infrastructure Projects
Per traditional Keynesian understanding, the government must enter deficit spending to maintain the financial stimulus needed for economic recovery. The Chinese budget cuts have managed to turn this on its head, largely through reductions in military expenditure with the surplus budget then being put into state projects such as infrastructure construction. This is having a positive impact with it being a good start but the effort may need to be significantly ramped up, and possibily force the Chinese to begin deficit spending.

Bayfront International Territory wrote:Bro, I had LITERALLY NOTHING to do at school today.
Human Geography teacher was gone, and we were ahead of all the other classes, so I had a sub, where we just did whatever, for an hour and 45 minutes.

I finished my digital art final project like a week ago, because I was sick and decided to just start working on it and finished it while at home, like a week before everyone else started it, so I've had only study hall in that class for a few days.

I got to school early, so I finished my math work for the day while waiting for 1st period to start

My 4th period is this special education thing ,where we get to just have study hall for every 4th period, for the whole year.

I don't have any missing or incomplete assignments, and I don't need to study for any tests.

So I just had SEVEN BORING AS HELL HOURS of free time today.
I didn't really have anything to do except use my laptop, so Photoshop and Spotify definitely got used a lot today.

Why did you specify Human Geography? Did you select Greek Geography as your elective or smt?

Iran 2024 Roleplay wrote:Great Oil Save
MIC:Oil demand had been slowing down since 2024 but production continued to climb, but with the Saudi Arabian Royal Crisis production plummeted as the worlds second largest producer was now on the brink of civil war. As a result Oil prices doubled, benefitting many countries but OPEC attempts to limit production was shattered due to outsider producers and without Saudi Arabia at its helm the oil Cartel was far less decisive. Iran although a member of OPEC was exempt from production limitations due to sanctions, and it quickly took advantage by ramping up its production.

Oil demand typically plummets during economic crisis's, during the Great Depression oil prices fell to 5.40 dollars per barrel, during the Great Recession barrel prices went from 133 dollars per barrel to just 39 dollars, during Covid as the world shut down, the impact was so bad that some barrels entered the negatives for the first time in their recorded history. The Oil Glut had continued to grow since 2024 as producers continued competing to fill the Saudi share, but demand continued to slip. And Black Monday hit the glut hard, prices plummeted from 80 dollars per barrel to as little as 15, while American companies were even worse off, their rigs and fields now out of operation and their domestic consumers struggle to purchase. Outside of Wall Street something else was underway, in 2018 the US had emerged as the worlds largest oil producer and it had managed to keep that crown. Outside of OPEC, its share only rose following Saudi Arabia's collapse with major competitors such as Russia and Iran under sanctions. With America's collapse though all that oil had nowhere to go, it was all stranded in America. As such another gaping hole in world oil production emerged overnight. Outside of the US, oil producers were able to take advantage of Oil prices rising again after Black Monday but nowhere near as much as during the Saudi Royal Crisis.

Yet the Bald Eagle was not going to be the last to fall, across the Atlantic the old American Foe, the Bear was facing struggles of its own as the Chekist Tzar's subjects turned against him. With Russia too tearing itself apart its share of global oil was next to go, already struggling under sanctions a Dark Fleet had managed to keep Putin above water but it all fell away upon the anniversary of the Soviet Union's collapse.

Subsequently Oil prices were able to further recover and now they teeter around 30 dollars per barrel, following a short drop after the collapse of the Chinese government, prices partially recovering as a new government formed which the world waits to see if it can last. Ultimately the Great Oil Save will not last forever, and world governments and organisations will have to scramble to find a new solution. In addition the responses of the old and emergent governments of the US and Russia await.

Already OPEC wishes to impose production limits, but it faces difficulty in facing Iran, who still under the official excuse of US sanctions, has continued to increase production. Meanwhile their is growing interest among Latin American Oil producers in some sort of intergovernmental cooperation on the topic, as the fall of the American Behemoth continues to shake its neighbours.

I'm a bit late but here I am

IC:With tensions at an all time high, Khalid gets a letter from a TIS leader, requesting to have a meeting to discuss potential compromises. Khalid, not being totally stupid, sends a diplomat in his place in case the TIS plan to assassinate him. As soon as the diplomat reaches the "meeting place" in an isolated desert with a supposed bunker nearby, several shots are fired from all sides, instantly killing him. Once the news reaches back to Khalid, he is enraged and orders the army to attack and massacre all pro-TIS civilians and soldiers. (this will eventually come back to bite him). An army of about 1000 saudi soldiers encounters about 600 much more experienced TIS soldiers and a battle commences. In the insuing fight, the TIS army is victorious, with 650 casualties and 120 injured on the saudi side and some major armoured vehicles being seized. But much more importance is placed symbolically, as this marks the beginning of the saudi civil war.
