Talk:Economic Demographics of Future World

Idea; instead of making this page about currency strength, how about we make this an economic page in general. We can have multiple lists of different things about currency, GDP, stock market strength, etc. United Planets 01:13, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

One more thing, I'm making Ireland and New Lyon have the euro, and I know that Colorada and US share the same currency: US dollar. Also, how can Everett's HDI be so high with so much droids, military, fusion power, etc. funding? —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 12:36, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

We should all reduce our HDI to something below .975, agree? —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 00:44, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Only Russia and Cascadia took severe damage. Every other country sustained minimal losses that would effect HDI since military is not counted. United Planets 02:19, 3 May 2009 (UTC)


 * No, I'm just saying it's practically impossible to get over .980 if you spend anything on advanced military. —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 11:33, 3 May 2009 (UTC)


 * And Everett City is pretty badly hurt. —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 11:34, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Everett City suffered the loss of the Presidential Manor, Capitol Building and the New Pentagon. That's minimal losses. Both the Presidential Manor and Capitol Building should be fixed by tomorrow and the New Pentagon by Wednesday. If you hit anything else, those were civilian targets. United Planets 16:41, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

No, exactly 5 government buildings. And if those are going to be fixed so soon, so will Russia's buildings. —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 17:14, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Japan's not blank anymore, is it? We should replace that. Also, how do you determine these things? o.o I should put somehting up for Taiping but I dunno what to put. Isseiryu 18:13, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

So then Russia hit at least one civilian target, plus the Judicial Supreme Court as one of the government targets (something technically civilian), which I guess would account for Everett's 9,000+ civilian death toll (which you added, not me). Japan isn't blank, I'll change that. Taiping, since it's a major economic power, should have a high HDI, high stock market power and high currency strength. Look up "HDI" and "Gini" on wikipedia. United Planets 18:22, 3 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Ah, what about State building, Treasury building, etc, etc? I though HDI had nothing to with economy, at least little compared to the Education Health and Infrastructure part of it.  Plus it exports a ton so it shouldn't have a strong currency. —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 20:14, 3 May 2009 (UTC)


 * What is a state building? All of Everett government departments were in the Capitol Building. Everett has no Legislative Branch, so after destroying the Presidential Manor and Pentagon (military-government buildings), you struck nothing but civilian-government buildings. United Planets 20:21, 3 May 2009 (UTC)


 * At Washington in the US there is a large building for the state department. Your capitol must be pretty big to stuff in all of the departments.  Is there really only 4 government buildings?  Then what did Everett strike in Russia besides Parliament and the White House in Russia? —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 20:26, 3 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Military buildings and control centers. United Planets 20:31, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Do you think high .8-low .9 for HDI and a mid 30 for Gini is good for Taiping? Also, how should I determine the GDP? (Or whatever it was, I forgot) Just a side question, how is Cascadia's (really small place) have such a strong currency and such a high GDP? Isseiryu 19:29, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

That sounds good for Taiping. As for GDP, I just did yours. I simply added up the GDPs of all the countries Taiping is made up of and came out with a GDP of $4.4 Trillion. You can raise it if you want since Taiping is a major economic power. I just re-did Everett's, which was pretty spot on actually. I also checked on Cascadia's GDP and in reality, it's about $569 billion. United Planets 19:36, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

I think I'll raise it a tad xP Thanks though. I'll put in some values now. Isseiryu 19:38, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Oh my god, Rasmusbyg all nations have Nation adjective and then Currency name! Why don't you get that all the others do except EU, which isn't even a country itself? Why do you keep insisting it's just Slavo, because it's always Nation adjective and then Currency name! I mean, there's only one Tael and Casnara, but they both have Taiping or Cascadian before them! —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 23:00, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, the name OMX is applied to the stock exchange of many baltic nations. I suppose this is the shy both of us are using the same name. I dont know what the player of Aeroe think, but if he likes the idea we can share the name and mark the Aeroe OMX as a filial of Baltic OMX (the bigger one.)

Yarphei has a really free economy, good policies, and good currency value. The only deal is taxes which are pretty high internationally and domestically, but that's only for wartime.

I´m sorry but if you play to be the WORLD EVIL you cant play to be an economic power. Two things are not possible at the same time. If you spent one third of your GDP in military (as you said in other posts) it is totally impossible to maintain a stable internal economy, and of course, a world oriented economy. Who is going to buy anything from your nation if you are at war with most of the big economies of the world? I´m sorry, but your nation is not credible.BIPU 22:25, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

If I play a evil power, it is obvious that I should have a good economy. I am evil as in the Empire in Star Wars, not some small African nation evil.

Sorry, when I talked about a non credible economy I was talking about Yarphey. If they are at war with almost every rich nation of the world, how are they going to export? Do you think you can be an economic power selling goods to Ehtiopia and Congo? Of course... a nation spending 33% of the GDP in military (you say Yarphei is spending that in order to explain your hughe military) will become a hungry nation in a short time. I repeat, everything about Yarphey is not credible. And about Ireland... I´m afraid she was a paper tiger. Have you read the news last days? Ireland is bankruptcy and near collapse all the Eurozone. ASA, as a part of the actual USA including some of the richest US states should be an economic power. Texas has 1 million GDP so you only have to add the rest...

About GDP per capita, please, Baltic Union (If you think in Norway, Swedenl Iceland...) should be one of the tops. I wrote in my nation infobox that GDP per capita is $42,315 BIPU 07:13, October 4, 2010 (UTC)

I guess it is only my responsibility to upgrade my country's economy, but I have no idea whatsoever about how the economy works. At school we are learning about Supply and Demand shit at the moment, and nothing on a larger scale. After the ASA's economic destruction and reconstruction I am going to need some help building an economy OOCly. -Signed by Super Warmonkey, please refer to these pages for more: Super Warmonkey (talk • contribs) 13:56, October 4, 2010 (UTC)

Yarphei is not unrealistic. Yarphei's traditional trading partners are: EAF, United States, Myanmar, People's Republics of China, NIR, Cascadia, Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Peru, Australia, many of which are rich. Have you not read my article? And that is due to foreign dependence on Yarphese products (such as high-quality cheap basil produced by vertical agriculture), aside from war. The large army is raised using taxes, which is irrelevant. The GDP is around 30,000 mostly due to good economic management and imposed tariffs. Note that Yarphei intends to keep military and economy separate, and usually has a low domestic income tax rate of around 20% outside wartime, when it rises to about 50%. Also, don't forget the exploitation of highly prosperous cities such as Saigon, Singapore (!!!), and Ngachuak Port. Yarphei is a large advanced economy and most advanced economies have GDP per capita higher than Yarphei.

42 thousand is certainly very high, but not high enough to make it into the top. But now that I think about it, I took the RW estimate for the United States.

The chinese and other proponents of multipolarity have proposed using special drawing rights as the world's primary foreign exchange reserve asset. They represent a claim to foreign currencies for which it may be exchanged in times of need and the nominal value of an SDR is derived from a basket of currencies; specifically, a fixed amount of Japanese Yen, US Dollars, British Pounds and Euros, but we could change the currrency mix in game. I propose a mixture of all the currencies of the primary nations, in addition to the Soviet Ruble and British Pound. This would be regulated by the IMF. Gatemonger 01:26, December 14, 2010 (UTC)

He has validity. Your GDP per capita and population don't make sense. If you calculated your total GDP correctly you would have 46,000,000 x 26,472 = 1,217,712,000,000, not even close to 8.1 trillion. To get 8.1 trillion, you need a GDP per capita of 176,087 which would be the largest in the world by a large margin, beating all those tiny city states, and over twice the GDP per capita of Norway. —Detectivekenny; (info, talk) Preceding text certified by R.
