Notice the Stalin dude to my east. He's dead meat in a year or two.

Lonestar · March 29, 2003, 18:21

Your Israeli-ness is rearing it's ugly head, Azazel

I registered a country. Its called 'Euskadi' And right now, I'm planning on dropping the social security payemnts for unemployed low income workers from 40% of their salary (36,000) to 10%. Also will be dropping corporate taxes, privitizing firms etc. Doing things rather libertarian. All apolyto corps are welcomed to set up shop here. (please do)

Lonestar · March 29, 2003, 18:29

Lawerance, wanna sign a peace treaty?

Lawrence of Arabia · March 29, 2003, 18:40

yeah. i also want to join the apolyton fed. my country had 4000 elelmentary schools and i only needed 2400, so i closed them down and now i have 2600. saved 633,000 per school per month. not bad. also about the social security, too bad it doesnt distinguish between retired, disabled and unemployed. i want to put the unemployment benefits down (to give them incentive to get a job) but want to keep disabled and retired high (they deserve it) unfortunaltty they are linked. so instead of going all the way down, i might just go to 25 or 30%.
unemployment is at 1.5%

i have only 250 high schools and it says i need 1500, so thats gonna cost a bundle. but i dont have enough teachers. HOW DO YOU GET MORE TEACHERS?
also need to build 15 more universities.

why does the state need to do this? cant they have private companies come in and do this or have it naturally occur when there is demand?

Lawrence of Arabia · March 29, 2003, 19:08

i went ahead and built 3 more universities (brining the total to 7) because there were a lot of unemployed university teachers. maybe i can get more elementary and high school teachers this way. universities cost 600 million a pop. Im working on human capital.

cant build any more hospitals but the index is over 80, so i think that i am fine right now.

change priorities for employement. i am now going to crank out 99 new teachers (as opposed to 6) also changed some other things around

Lonestar · March 29, 2003, 19:15

I went ahead and sent you a peace treaty offer.

Lawrence of Arabia · March 29, 2003, 19:19

it says that I am paying interest on my loans. where can i find out where my loans are?

Lawrence of Arabia · March 29, 2003, 19:22

Lawrence of Arabia · March 29, 2003, 19:23

Lonestar · March 29, 2003, 19:28

Funny man.

Lawrence of Arabia · March 29, 2003, 19:29

listen up everyone. i closed like 7 state owned corporations in my country (Euskadi) and dropped corporate taxes to 20%. come and set up shop there. lots of people waiting to be employed, low taxes. come one come all.

GeneralTacticus · March 29, 2003, 19:38

Do you have any coporations up for sale?

Lawrence of Arabia · March 29, 2003, 19:42

Sure. all of them.

Lawrence of Arabia · March 29, 2003, 19:52

Try Hazuda High Tech Services. Its got only 10B in debt and is making some cash.

Lawrence of Arabia · March 29, 2003, 20:08

Brown Hi Tech is good. Maybe you should take them both. Collect them all, ya know?

GeneralTacticus · March 29, 2003, 20:12

I put my bid on Brown High Tech Services instead. It's making more money.

Lawrence of Arabia · March 29, 2003, 20:18

How long until it sells itself? i also found out my total debt (170 B) but I cannot find a way to pay it off. Are these debts from my enterprises, or from my country?

GeneralTacticus · March 29, 2003, 20:29

They'd be from your country; your companies deal with their debts independantly.

And the corp should sell itself in a couple of days, assuming no-one else places any bids.

Lawrence of Arabia · March 29, 2003, 20:34

well i also own a corp. . . hehehe fun games with jacking up prices.

hmm...if you wait until I have some strategic forces ready, I'll be more than happy to help you.

Lawrence of Arabia · March 29, 2003, 20:58

ok guys im ditching my country. way too much debt. hehehe

GeneralTacticus · March 29, 2003, 21:33

btw, to anyone who wants to do business with my nation, it has been renamed The Republic of Chimerica.

Skanky Burns · March 30, 2003, 00:45

Skanky Enterprise has been attacked.

Its only corp, a services corp, was destroyed yesterday by Gaudaemus who invaded the country it was in. This brings Skanky Enterprise down to 0 corporations, and it is now living off its interest. After my current war is finished, I plan on going after him and his countries. That is all.

dudemanjack · March 30, 2003, 00:51

Perhaps a fed war is in order?

dudemanjack · March 30, 2003, 00:54

I will soon be "liberating" the peoples in the country "The Grand State Lian Ost". The attack begins in one game day.

Well, I want to set it up so I can help Azazel attack that Assclown with the Iraqi flag, Stalin face, and Arabian name for a country.

I figure I'll just do some airraids down south while the Rompin' Stompin' Azazel Army rolls him over.

Man, just closed down oneof my useless corporations...$150bil in debt!

dudemanjack · March 30, 2003, 01:23

War Update: I'm taking heavy losses, but the enemy's war index is down to 5.6. I will finish them off in about 6 minutes.

dudemanjack · March 30, 2003, 01:53

VICTORY: I have taken over the grand state of lian ost. It isn't in good shape, but I'll change that

Az · March 30, 2003, 02:19

No, Lonestar dear. First fix your economy ( It's ok, but it can be GREAT )
