Economic Rules Discution

[Logi]

Delta Force, consider it encouragement to getting on with colonizing Korea and Afghanistan.  I'm considering it encouragement to colonize [...] Samoa.

That however, is a German colony already.

It's a declaration of war! ;D

So have we agreed that minimum IC for each region is 1 IC at startup?

[Tanthalas]

I think that has been generaly agreed on, I could be wrong ofcourse but it makes sence to me.

That's German Samoa, the partition happened in 1899.  :)

Won't that put every non-colonial power (US, Russia, Austria-Hungary, etc.) at a disadvantage?

[Tanthalas]

OTL as it will be in the sim it was easier and cheaper to build the economy of a Colony.  People did to a limited extent (more for some less for others), so technicly yes one region nations are at a disadvantage (unless for example the US wants to look up the population of all their states in 1900)

Looking up the populations of the US states and territories in 1900 is easy, there was a census in 1900 after all.  There was a Russian Empire census in 1897 as well (see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Empire_Census for details).

Homelands will be one region. This is so we can all work from one source, the 1900 world pop that is linked in this thread.

P.P.S.:
So IC cost stays at 25+5*n_IC/sqrt(pop) and that per region?
And BP are 100+5*n_BP, but globally or are they regional as well?

IC Regional, BP Global. This has peed added to the Rules

[KWorld]

> No region can have more than 1 BP per 4 functional IC.  Any BP in excess of this ratio is inoperable.

Hmmmm.  From playing with the spreadsheet, this rule is concerning me a little: it looks like the correct number of IC for the US (given the population of 76.212 million from history) is 207.  However, if I'm reading the above rule correctly, it means that my BP are actually only 51.5 or 52, rather than the 65 listed earlier.  Am I reading things correctly, or am I off-base?

We are going to have to tweek the wording on that to get start up requirements were they should be. It should be that you cant build any additional BP until there is a 4:1 ratio. Go ahead with the listed amount of BP. I am still thinking about how best to reword that portion of the rules.

[Nobody]

How about simply removing it? We now have the growing cost as the limiting factor.

ok, that works for me

[Delta Force]

How much IC does Russia have?

[Darman]

How much IC does Russia have?

You have to figure it out for yourself.  Just plug and play til you get the right amount.
