Could we have a new map update?

And what could I do to help with the crash?

And what about those new type of ships? You can google them if you want.

Map update: complete (I think)

As to the ships and other stuff you guys want to research send the link to me [via PM]. I will then evaluate of these inventions are reasonable with out time era.

Now to the fun part: Economics. In the 1700's, the predominant economic system was to evaluate a nations wealth by the amount of gold in the king/queen's coffer. To get there the idea was to raise tariffs to increase local production of goods so that those goods could be sold to another nation generating wealth for the country itself. By making money of other nations the kings coffer could fill up (by taxing usually the poor or merchant classes).

Adam Smith challenged this idea in the wealth of nations stating instead that the amount that a nation produces is its wealth. This economic system focuses more on production as opposed to actually obtaining cash. Smith's idea of wealth is still used today (we evaluate a country's wealth with GDP) and this is why when we say that a nation has a X trillion dollar debt, it isn't too bad if the nation's GDP is high.

Long story short: if Britain is like most nations (following the mercantile system [first one]) then raising your tariffs to promote internal production will be the way to go. On the other hand if you decide to follow Smith's view then you should focus on creating jobs and encouraging businesses (by giving them tax cuts and such things).

One thing to keep in mind with economics: economists have been right on economic issues despite arguing for opposite economic ideas. Essentially there is no one solution.

Would I have enough money to pay for the land from the French?

by 99luftballons Sun Mar 23, 2014 10:00 pm

Of course. They will probably reduce the price if you offer them a trade deal or an alliance...

by gaara Sun Mar 23, 2014 10:51 pm

Can I make triffs higher and make more jobs but just not up the taxes so the people would remain happy? Because if so then that's what I will do.

Oh crap. I think I just... no, not going to let the GM get any ideas.

by gaara Mon Mar 24, 2014 4:02 pm

Can I point out that Madagascar it under ottoman control and so is the mainland part of Africa that was French.

by 99luftballons Mon Mar 24, 2014 7:05 pm

To Gaara: Yes you could point that out, but in any case France hasn't signed a peace treaty with the Ottomans and thus hasn't recognized their land grab.

Also the first page of this OOC and Role-play now have updated player country information [yes I finally updated it]. Also the diplomacy chart should be updated.

by gaara Mon Mar 24, 2014 9:11 pm

Dibs on Belgium

by gaara Mon Mar 24, 2014 9:12 pm

And even though France sold their land wouldn't Britain still control a lot of it?

by 99luftballons Mon Mar 24, 2014 9:26 pm

You are referring to the Northwest territory?

by gaara Mon Mar 24, 2014 9:34 pm

Yeah the French Americas when we attack them we took a lot of land from the French you said?

And can you PM me back not trying to big you it's just I havnt heard from you.

by 99luftballons Mon Mar 24, 2014 9:52 pm

Yeah you are occupying French lands.

Also hzvw are you going to do something as Austria? If not I'll take control over it again at the end of the week.

by gaara Mon Mar 24, 2014 10:12 pm

Thank You. Perhaps he hasn't had time, but Austria does kind of play a crucial role.

Wouldn't the French troops be weak as hell invading Belgiam as they wouldn't be well cared for?

And I would think their army and their citizen would want Britain to win so they would stop the blocDe so why wouldn't they revolt?

by 99luftballons Tue Mar 25, 2014 6:53 am

Rolling to see if the Belgian royal household gets caught by French troops.
