I am at least second in retail so worship sounds a bit too much.

Also, you do get the raw materials to make those things from the number 1 miner, fisher and agricultural producer of the region which would be me.

Not to mention that whose trucks transport all those retail goods?

So I don't think you want to start a trade war with Gothica, that would be unwise even if your lower salaries makes your retail products cheaper and selling more then mine.

My retail is terrible, how did this happen. 😢

Good question... Your economic freedom is just below mine so it can't be that. Your culture is terrible so you loose some sales on cultural stuff but that should be a minor thing.

I can't see anything in your stats that tells us why. Sure, me and Apostate have far more manufacturing score which also impacts it (dang, I just saw I am in the top 100 there now, not sure how I increased that much).

I am assuming you are a bit all over the place with your issues since you have so many stats between 1-5% but only your cards under 1%. You can pretty easily get a single score really high, and usually you can get a couple of more as bonus.
I for instance are focusing everything on getting my arms manufacturing to the top 50 (29 places still to go) and that got my Sector: Manufacturing following up too.

It turned my environment to crap so I were forced to fix that which slowed me down a bit. Bad environment is terrible for fishing and agriculture and we Gothians like eating.

So if you want to raise a specific stat, think how your solutions to issues might impact it before deciding. Getting up to under 1% in retail would take a month or so if you focus on it.

I believe I am also number one in baskets. With Retail in our firm Grasp, and baskets to hold our revenue, we demand reverence! Because, we are also Number 1 in Religion!!

Uh, who uses a basket besides Yogi bear?

We Gothians have this thing called "bag" we make in plastic or paper that do the same job immensely cheaper.

And we Gothians are #1 in secularism so yea ain't getting any reverence from us. ;) And before you go there, we have almost twice your score in defense forces too.

Ooc: The 2 regions I was in before based RP on stats so mine are slightly insane. I am impressed of your retail score though.

Yes, well I'm simultaneously #1 in Average Disposable Income and Freedom from Taxation, as well as second in employment (and IT), so I think, that overall, my country's people are wealthier.

Probably mostly because they actually have jobs, unlike yours. 80.3% workforce participation to 41.28%

Although all that probably means is that Amestrians will be a very, very good customer of Apostate.

Lol, me and Apostate have almost exactly the same terrible disposable income.

I seriously need to get those taxes down but it is insanely hard without raising corruption who is already super high or dropping my defense forces like a rock.

Are national statistics important in this region?

Good afternoon, everyone.

Welcome to the Clan, Carpathian legion. I hope that you enjoy your stay with us.

No, stats are not an integral part of the region. There's just a bit of one-upmanship going on right now. If it were, I'd bring one of my World Ten Nations here.

I was wondering for a moment there if I would have to start asking advice on how to raise my national statistics.

I find that people who scream too loudly about toxicity aren't as clean as they like to think.

Nah, I am just trying to get in the 50th top Arms manufacturing countries in the world because.... Uh, competitive spirit.

Stats might be good for bragging rights here, but that is it.

In my old region they were used in warfare RP but the problem with that is that it is close to impossible to catch up to an old nation that have been focusing on raising it's stat for a long time. New nations are basically useless that way.

I am working on a mechanics for RP combat here (I started less then a week ago and is like 25% done) but that wont have anything to do with stats.
Stat based RP is great in a new region where everyone makes new nations but it is just boring when you have nations that have been around for years.

In any kind of RP is the vital thing that everyone has fun. Having most nations as more or less npcs for a few powerful actual players is only fun for them, not everyone.

That said, I think manipulating my stats as a nation is pretty amusing. Now if I only could get health and integrity up and taxes down that would be great, but first I want to be in the top 50 arms manufacturing countries. I am getting close...

RBG kicked the bucket. Although I strongly disliked her politics, I admire her Warriors courage against the big C all these years.

Also, they are shooting off fireworks where I am, which I think is in slightly poor taste. But I suppose one of the most powerful positions in the land must be open to some criticisms.

I wonder if Trump can slam through a nomination before the election, or if he will find a moderate as a concession to fill the bench, or if he will wait until after the election to appoint his justice.

I think personally he will appoint now, and let Congress rip each other to shreds in an election year. Even if he loses the election (I doubt that) he would still have time to appoint a justice before his term ended. Its going to get weirder folks, so everybody hold on. 2020 isnt over yet!

Hmm, it would be a move no other President would do so close to an election. I wouldn't recommend it, you really don't want to upset anyone who haven't decided how to vote yet.

And I am honestly not so sure who will win. If the pandemic hadn't happened I would be pretty sure Trump would win but the economy has taken a bad hit which is always bad for sitting President. As it is now, anything can happen.

It is insanely hard to guess how a Presidential election will turn out. And there are unknown factors, like if there will be a vaccine out before election day (which would be good news for Trump) or if infection rates goes up again (which would be bad news for Trump).

It doesn't help that Russia wants Trump to win and China Biden. They will both try to influence the election in the opposite direction.

Oh, well... At least it wont be a boring election. *pops popcorn*

Russia v China, 2020.

Yeah, I am not too happy with anyone either of those guys want to win.

I hate when democratic leaders are sucking up to clearly evil dictators.

They don't have to start massive war against any dictator they find but that is a very different thing. Having a bunch or Russian and Chinese hackers trying to sabotage an election is really not a great situation. And that is not mentioning Turkey, Iran, North Korea, Belarus and a bunch of other nations that all want one or the other candidate and might try to interfere one way or the other too.
