You might need to check again. Someone got .25 more then you.

The Caer Lochweald Chronicle
VOL. 32 NO. 487: Masks of Shame

The Issue: A young woman recently died of suffocation after a local magistrate sentenced her to wear a traditional ‘Mask of Shame’, an archaic custom exclusive to rural areas of Southern Kaiserholt. Several civil rights groups have called on the government to intervene and outlaw this cultural practice aimed at humiliating those who transgress social norms.

The Debate (1): “She was only sixteen,” growls self-proclaimed humanitarian Colleen Fils-Aimé in a strong accent distinct to the East End of Caer Lochweald. “These backwoods nut-cases have been humiliating people, especially young women, for centuries. Merely being accused of scolding or wearing the wrong shirt can buy you a week in the mask. They even come with a studded gag to keep you from speaking. Not many people know that. This horrendous practice must be outlawed, and we should start a thorough re-education program to stomp out all their medieval ways.”

The Talking Point: Country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized. (Kaiserholt's Civil Rights rose from Average to Good.)

OoC: and thus, with one issue, the Most Serene Republic frees itself of the Coronavirus religious cult. I kid, I kid...or do I? But on the issue, by getting rid of the masks my nation has improved our tourism, education, and weather. How you interpret that is up to you. XD

So if you're countries existed in real life how would it compare to other countries? Like if y'all went to war.

War? What a dirty prospect. It costs the Patricians a lot of money, with no certainty of return on investment, and you have to pay those serving in the war a plot of farmland no less than a Virgata (30 acres)in size...in addition to the normal expenses of war. No, the MSR is big enough to sustain its interests.

Funding chaos in other nations, as well as arming multiple parties in a war...so long as they agree to not attack Kaiserholt...is quite beneficial, on the other hand.

OoC: not sure what real world equivalent I might be describing, but oh well.

Well Nationalism exist so we can take the world on in a conventional war (no nukes. And even if nukes were allowed I would blow up the earth).

Even still most NS players who’ve played for a few months have a population over that of the USA. The oldest ones have several billion with some having more that 30 billion people. With that kind of manpower and industrial capacity there’d be no hope.

The most is 38 billion as of now

With a population about 5 times the current world population, it would take only a fraction to outnumber the 25 biggest militaries combined.

Or you could look at it like the ecumenopolis of Trantor from Aasimov’s Foundation series...the bureaucratic center of the NS galaxy.

You will dominate cause you have more then a quarter of the Earth's populace.

I still have less people than the USA. Though I do control three different locations on Earth.

I read your location factbook and I think you mean northeastern Africa. Northwest Africa would be places like Algeria and Mauritania.

My countries also has 1 territory in the southern Arab peninsula and 1 territory in western Europe.

I have many Colonies mainly in Sweden.

“Y’all gotta be kiddin’ me,” grumbles local gun enthusiast, Dave Dredd before spitting into a tin can near the doorway. “Plastic toy rayguns ain’t doin’ nobody no harm. When I was li’l we played with BB guns all th’ dad-gum time! Y’all wanna ban toy guns? Shoot, we should let ‘em have real guns! Make it legal, n’ all. I bet it’d even lower crime rates! Who’d wanna rob a house knowing little Tommy has a 9 mil?”
Sounds like an average day.
