Nothing like a good war to kick the military-industrial complex into high gear.

Good point. And we do have a good chunk of that kind of industry. Perhaps we might not go bankrupt after all...

Al Mastif's attitude towards military spending very much counts as 'Ruled', it has a Frightening economy and it doesn't rely on weight of numbers.Originally posted by Mr. President

Actually, Arms Manufacturing used to be my primary industry, but I haven't got it for a while, so it has been usurped by Uranium Mining for the time being.
Let us see:
Arms Manufacturing - implies decent military (at least).
Uranium Mining - can justify nuclear weapons program, especially as a nation's main industry.
Besides, my nation's got a pretty damn good manufacturing sector, being 9th out of 88 nations with a much smaller population than the others on the front page.
So what's your point?Hello, you've reached Majestic-12 Headquarters.

True, very true.
Having a good manufacturing sector means you can turn out plenty of extra materiel (notice my "sophisticated" French-oid spelling of "material") in war time.Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.Comment

Actually, the term manufacturing sector indicates that we're talking about a percentage of your business, so a larger nation with a larger economy could have a higher production output than yours even if their manufacturing sector is smaller.Originally posted by Squeblish Nef?

Since when? I'm hardly omniscient when it comes to economics, but I have never encountered the term being used as you say it is.Actually, the term manufacturing sector indicates that we're talking about a percentage of your business, so a larger nation with a larger economy could have a higher production output than yours even if their manufacturing sector is smaller.Comment

Think of the entire economy as one big circle - or a cake if you like. Then you start cutting out pieces of the cake. Each piece is a sector, and it also represents a certain percentage of the total economy. That's why a sector diagram is called a sector diagram.Originally posted by GeneralTacticus
