Rollcall and Other Misc. Statistics

[snip]

China $3.79/BP
Germany $0.79/BP
Japan $2.24/BP
Ottoman $1.32/BP
Russia $2.17/BP
UK $1.41/BP (edited using Darman's numbers)
USA $0.98/BP

I think in addition to bringing some of the nations up, China is going to have to come down a few rungs.

[Walter]

With that one the UK is at $1.61/BP.

Darman, if I add those numbers I get a population of 360.83. Your 357.53 misses the 3.3 from English Midlands.

I think in addition to bringing some of the nations up, China is going to have to come down a few rungs.

I disagree. You just gave me too little BPs for my revenue...

China will be reworked to match the other nations it should be about equivalent to in this time period. That means revisions in income and possibly BP.

[Walter]

IIRC, it was already known from the moment you guys came up with the numbers that China's budget could max out at $93 but you left it as is. Looking at the numbers, I can bring it down to $2.30/BP if I arrange the ICs differently but I will have a research budget of $25.10 then...

Actually with that budget I had some other ideas to add that would mean that some of the budget would be unavailable. I scrapped those ideas just before posting the final stuff, but I might as well throw them out on the board...

[Logi]

Here are the modified figures we have agreed on. The goal of the modifications was to bring everyone into the $1.5/BP - $2/BP region with the ability to research two technologies at once ($3 research cap). I've also eliminated the 0.5 ICs hanging around.

Country	Pop	IC	BP
USA	76.5	43	31
ENG	360.83	46	28
GER	57	24	24
FRA	58.78	13	15
RUS	149.9	21	12
TUR	55	13	9
CHI	403.5	7	12
JAP	66.1	11	6

USA: 31 IC -> 43 IC
GER: 16.5 IC -> 24 IC
CHI: 26 IC -> 7 IC


Regarding China and it's $93 budget, you may recall that originally we intended to have that work against the concept of civilian goods and corresponding revolt risk. After the civilian goods clause was removed, we sort of forgot about China's large budget until now. I'll say, as the person who crafted the Chinese numbers, it was never meant to be this high without some sort of large drawback.

New Numbers.

with the ability to research two technologies at once ($3 research cap)

A quick note about this part. If you want, you can go higher or lower then this cap. It is the figure we decided to balance around however, so results may vary if you choose to go above or below it (I'm personally going for 3 techs, so $7)

Just so its publicly noted, I am of the same position as Logi.

You are correct sir, when I added the Midlands I forgot to alter the "sum" function at the bottom of the column.

FYI - I let Delta Force know where we're at.  He might end up popping by.

Ok, will see what happens there.

[miketr]

I am not done with filling the spreadsheet out but right now I have a $1.5 to spend on new anything.

Sooooooooooooooooooo if any one has extra cash and wants to order a ship drop me a PM.  There is going to be 20 plus BP that I won't be able to use for odds are a decade.

If you want, you can go higher or lower then this cap.

Unlike what you say, if I wanted to go higher than that cap, I can't... 2 tech is my max. The only way for me to be able to get to 3 techs is to assign all 7 ICs to a region witout any people...

Not that I would go for it. As you have seen in the original set-up, I went for a research budget of less than $2 despite the fact that I had a lot more ICs than now. To me it is more a case of you stating something that sounds like every one of us can do, but in reality, that is not the case at all.

Well, with what I have in mind, I may end up with some 'leftover' BPs as well each HY (due to the Evil Mods removing over 70% of my ICs), but I think about putting those BPs into various projects and pay for them next HY in order to complete it.

Considering the number of BPs Germany has compared to its revenue, it is not really an option for Germany to do.

We might still need to make some adjustments to individual nations. And we still are working on that process.
