Akiria #1 in the World

[Drogue]

I would like to annouce that The Commonwealth of Akiria is number one in the World ( ) at the largest fishing industry

The Party is now being organised, to celebrate this, combined with our weather celebration. Details will be announced shortly.

How did Akira get so large?

Just think of what you would have in ratings if you were a economic powerhouse instead of imploded!

congratulations!

[Drogue]

I've been top many times, not due to economy (besides, I will not have my land bulldozed, nor my endangered species eaten). It got so large partly for being old, the rest I have no idea, decent public services (healthcare etc.) maybe, being delegate for a time maybe (although didn't help Kass much), or founding the region maybe? Maybe just activity? 13th largest in the world though

Akizeta hacked into the NS system

[DarkCloud]

You founded the region?

Just wondering, what is our delegate history?
You
Kassiopea
Guardian?

[GeneralTacticus]

I was delegate for a little while at one point.

[Drogue]

Delegates: Myself (but my endorsements wear out after a day for some reason )
Sovietskii Soyuz (Tass) - Very briefly IIRC
Centralis (GT)
Greater Finland (Kass)
Guardinia

I founded the region, although Red_Jon and Tass joined it immediatly. Then we advertised it in the SMACDG Rec Commons, in the Nation States forum, and in the OTF here on 'Poly. It all started in Stories and Diplomacy (Can't remember if you were using NS then). It's all gone a little downhill, we used to have trading threads, and even a court (I was hearing a case, until the revolution in Akiria).

Do F.I.R. and Ubinia still exist? Kinda miss the andti-capitalist/anti-meat-eating rants

That is completely unfounded accusation My population has rises because I raise the dead to join the hordes of undead in my army I have such a wonderful nation, people want to come here and are not allowed to leave and enjoy so much, they never want to leave

BTW: Does anyone actually know how population works?

[DarkCloud]

That's interesting- thanks!

You know- we always get an upspike in new members whenever one of us is #1 in the world

Should we do a membership drive to see how many we can get registered on hte apolyton forums and into our region?

Well, at least people are still playing... if not role playing.

-as for being around in the story/diplo- no, I just recently joined. my nation has a pop of 36 million... so I've been registered about 15 days

I think population relates to civil rights- if you have bad c.r. it might only raise 1 mil a day- if you have good it can rise 2 mil a day... or maybe it's proportional the the # of pop that you currenlty have?

Tassadar was rep!

[Drogue]

Yes, Tass was my first opponent in the first election campaign (I won with 8 endorsements, to... er... 1 )

I don't think it's civil rights, because it says in the FAQ that the measures at the top are just to show where abouts you are, with none being 'better' or 'worse', just more rights and less. Also, I don't have great civil rights, especially compared to the 'excessive' rights of Maruijiania, which started at the same time and is much smaller. However, it is not just due to time, I started when there was about 20,000 people already registered, and I am the 13th biggest Nation.

[Urban Ranger]

How the heck you got that many people?

[GeneralTacticus]

About the trading thread - maybe we could start a new one?

[Drogue]

Sounds like a good idea. Since I have the best fishing in the world, I'll start a new trading thread, and put up for sale a list of the world famous Akirian fish.

Congratulations.
Ceroo's trawlers are obviously fishing in the wrong place.

re: Population
I think I started before Akiria (there were only 12,000 registered nations AFAIR), and my population is only just gonna break 300m today.

re: Trading thread
I concur, let's begin a new trading thread. Ceroo's highly advanced information technology products have high value which could benefit us

***edit: re: Population originally came out as reopulation

[DarkCloud]

You must be doing something wrong- I know one state with a population of 900 million- the Democratic States of the Met

are you a conservative nation or a liberal one? or are you usually centrist?
