3rd world nations and you
« on: March 30, 2007, 08:12:51 PM »
Well yesterday i got Ranholn out of CTE heaven, and decided I should look at the traker for a nation i havnt answerd a thing for in... well a long long time, and when i do i just pick something fun.

Well it was 2.5 billion
and a converted GDP per Capita of... 4$
yes thats right it is larger then any nation on earth, and poorer then any nation on earth

This made me think two things, first, wonder if i can make it even more poor
Second rp doesn't have any good ol fashion 3rd world nations. So I was thinking of using Ranholns trackers to craft a bunch of third world nations that have only one resource really Human Labor. This will serve a few purposes, one for places to have outbreaks of diseases and other third world tragedies, a place for humanitarian aid to go to, and a place for Capitalist corporations to Set up Sweat Shops to produce goods paying people about a penny a day (1.09 cents a day if 365 days) that's for the average income, not even the poorest people.

Then we could have good fun like nations deciding how they should treat such poor ass nations.

I would also suggest these nations be in land with horrible climates, arid or something of the such, and have no real resources so conquest would be rather pointless, like the people destroyed everything they once had in wars or it just never existed or something.

what does everyone else thing?

Me thinks good idea, It's also a great breeding ground for disncontentment and liberation organizations

Me supports.  Also, since players create these with the express purpose of being dominated, this provides a good outlet for bullying-type behavior.  Plus a good propaganda tool for me.

Interesting.... I say, what the heck, why not?

As Bustos said, a very interesting idea, but I would need to think about it. Africa is generally agreed to be the worlds shittiest continent, and we don't need another one here.

On the other hand, it would provide a bunch of revenue for capitalist nations (But not you commies, haha) and good RP. So I'd have to think about my answer.

I really see no need, seeing how my country is filling that role  :D. My people don't even have television...also, just because country is mad poor, doesn't mean that a strong leader can't run it smoothly. (When I say "run smoothly", I mostly meant not giving in to the will of foreign superpowers  :D, Like what North Korea has going on)

Yes, CL, but your nation is relatively small as compared to Ranholn. I mean, we're talking a dirt poor nation twice the size (population-wise) of India. I see it as a capitalist "paradise", meaning they can make everything at minimal cost (buying land, salary, etc.) and sell it for higher amount of profit while staying below all competitors.  I also like the idea in that it gives religious nations (Myro) a place to send all their foreign aid.

No, but some people RP with less than their NS population.
