“There are some days we never forget, moments burned into our memory until the day we die. Where were you the day everything changed? Where people tried to throw our world into darkness. Where it felt like we could never find our way back… but we did… together. When you were vulnerable, we gave you our strength. When you were sick, we gave you the cure. When there was chaos, we brought you order, stability, safety, a chance to start again. Who are we? We’re THE WAY FORWARD.™” In lore we were founded by Jonathan Irons, but here in Orbis though. We were founded and currently are run by Commo and Church. Former Leaders of Providentia, and the Umbrella Corporation. The Atlas Corporation is Officially opening its doors to Orbis and proud to announce we’re open for Business. Disclaimer: We have no relation with the previous alliance "Atlas Technologies" Tldr: Atlas Corp announces existence

A Declaration From ODOO: Esteemed members of Orbis: It has recently been brought to our attention that Rose is attempting to hire nations to conduct spy operations against ODOO and our coalition partners. Any spy operation conducted by an uninvolved party on any nation in ODOO or their coalition partners will be treated as an act of aggression in the ongoing war. -Your ODOO players

Breaking news! Order Of The Stars has declared it's first alliance war against Chocolate Castle! It started either Friday or Saturday when Order Of The Stars raided members of Chocolate Castle. Then the members of Chocolate Castle started declaring on members of Order Of The Stars. No peace yet. Right now it is looking like Order Of The Stars may win. I will release damage statistics after the war is over. This has been breaking news coming to you from Order Of The Stars!

I think capitalism should end, here's why: 1. Pollution, Capitalists have polluted rivers, streams and the air, they will not stop any time soon if nothing changes. 2. Inequality, some people can barely afford food, some have massive 4 course meals for themselves, and some are somewhere in the middle, this is just one example of inequality. 3. Not Democratic, yes, the state might be democratic, but the management of companies is not. workers do not get a say in company policies, sometimes workers are fired without reason. (this video has more detail) 4. Only for-profit, Why did Steve Jobs create the iPhone? money. Why isn't the Covid-19 vaccine available to all? money. lives would be saved if there was no money involved. (this video has more detail, Watch this one too if you want) that is why I think capitalism should end.

i give it less than 2 months before the next rebrand

I love that you're calling Sketchy out on this when Aurora has Main, FA, MA, and c20+ servers (technically there's also an IA server and the Goon Squad server). Though I will say as someone who can see the majority of channels in those servers, I appreciate having them separate lol. Especially when it is war time.

I have selected the no munitions but 4 times and on the report it says I used munitions. Which one is right? also your new missile percentages suck because I have been hit with missile from the same nation 3 times in a row. Shouldn’t be possible

Hey, this is expected behavior for scoped keys. Scoped keys only work for API v3 which doesn't rely on those requests, by making the max requests -1 then the key won't work for v1/v2 as intended.

1. I'm sorry for any confusion. An example of a country where social services like education and healthcare have been distributed more evenly across the population is Finland. Finland is often cited for its comprehensive social welfare system, including quality education and healthcare services accessible to all citizens. The Finnish education system is known for its equity-focused approach, where students receive high-quality education regardless of their socioeconomic background. Similarly, Finland's healthcare system emphasizes equal access to medical care, contributing to better health outcomes and reduced disparities. While no system is without challenges, Finland's commitment to equitable social services is often highlighted as a positive model. 2. Addressing the affordability and accessibility of education and healthcare requires comprehensive efforts. Policy measures such as price regulation, government investment, and partnerships between public and private sectors can contribute to a more equitable system. 3. Achieving global health equity is a complex endeavor that requires international cooperation. This can involve initiatives like supporting healthcare infrastructure in developing countries, facilitating technology transfer, and ensuring fair distribution of life-saving resources during global crises. 4. You're correct in pointing out the significance of internal governance challenges in many African countries. Indeed, internal factors like political instability, corruption, and mismanagement play a crucial role in economic outcomes. It's important to acknowledge the complex interplay between internal and external factors in shaping a country's development. 5. Certainly, an example is Vietnam. The Communist Party of Vietnam is the only legal ruling party in the country. However, like many one-party systems, the situation can be complex and interpretations of authoritarianism can vary. While Vietnam's political landscape may exhibit certain restrictions on political freedoms, it also demonstrates elements of economic openness and modernization, which can influence how the regime is perceived in terms of its level of authoritarianism. As with any political analysis, it's important to consider a range of perspectives and sources to form a comprehensive understanding.

1. Certainly, an example could be the pricing of life-saving medications in certain capitalist systems. The profit-driven approach of some pharmaceutical companies has led to high drug prices that can create barriers to access for individuals without sufficient means or proper insurance coverage. 2. I agree that there are legitimate concerns about the affordability of education and healthcare. While communism might not be the sole solution, it's essential to explore policy measures within capitalist systems that can address these issues more effectively. The goal is to strike a balance that ensures essential services are accessible to all citizens without necessarily requiring a complete overhaul of the economic system. 3. Apologies if my previous points seemed disjointed. The main point I'm trying to convey is that economic systems, whether capitalist or socialist, have their strengths and weaknesses. My aim is to discuss the potential for improvements in addressing issues like inequality, access to essential services, and global health equity. 4. You raise a good point about governance playing a role in the economic challenges faced by certain countries. While internal factors contribute to poverty, it's also worth noting that global economic dynamics and historical factors can influence disparities. Wealthier countries could contribute to global health by supporting initiatives that ensure equitable access to healthcare resources, without necessarily taking sole blame for other nations' challenges. 5. One example of a socialist party participating in ruling with free elections is Portugal's Socialist Party (Partido Socialista). Portugal operates within a multi-party parliamentary system, and the Socialist Party has been in power at various times, implementing social welfare policies. This highlights a case where a socialist-oriented party has engaged in governance while upholding democratic principles. The nuances of their policies can vary over time and within the political context. has it been ruling for decades? No. Is it a socialist party in a country with free elections? Yes.

1. While it's true that some communist governments have struggled to provide services equally to their populations, I agree that effective implementation is a challenge. However, it's also important to consider that there might be instances where certain social services are provided more equitably, particularly in areas like healthcare and education. The effectiveness of any economic system depends on multiple factors, including governance, resources, and societal context. 2. Solving the problems associated with capitalism or any economic system is a complex task that requires careful consideration. One approach could involve implementing policies that address wealth disparity through progressive taxation, social safety nets, and measures to ensure equal access to opportunities. 3. You're right that CEOs have a demanding role with significant impact on companies. The point I'm trying to make is that incorporating diverse perspectives, including workers', can lead to better decisions and more equitable outcomes. Balancing executive decisions with input from those directly affected can improve corporate culture and decision-making. 4. Capitalism itself isn't solely to blame for global vaccine inequity, but profit-driven motives have sometimes influenced the distribution of life-saving resources. The challenge lies in finding ways to balance incentives for innovation with the ethical responsibility to ensure equitable access to critical healthcare solutions, especially during global crises. 5. ok sure, those are common occurrences in communist countries. It's important to recognize that these issues are often associated with authoritarian implementations of communism. However, it's also worth noting that there are diverse interpretations of these ideologies, and not all communist systems share these traits. Western capitalist democracies and other systems also vary widely in their governance and freedoms. i forgot to quote @Winston Gray

1. Communist countries often adopt centralized economic planning where the government controls major industries and resources. This differs from the decentralized market-based approach of capitalism. In a Communist system, the government directly owns and manages key sectors such as energy, transportation, and healthcare, aiming to ensure equitable distribution of resources. 2. The point i am trying to make here is, While a degree of inequality is natural, the current extent isn't necessary. The goal is to create a society where basic needs are attainable and opportunities are accessible for all. This doesn't negate personal achievements but rather seeks a better balance, addressing systemic obstacles and ensuring a fairer distribution of resources. 3. I understand that CEOs play a pivotal role in guiding a company's direction and making crucial decisions. It's true that their responsibilities extend beyond the day-to-day operations. However, it's also important to recognize that the vast income disparities between CEOs and workers exist in many cases. The point isn't to disregard the efforts of CEOs, but rather to ensure that compensation reflects the collective contributions of all employees. Collaborative decision-making can help address not only the financial gap but also foster a sense of shared ownership and a more equitable workplace. 4. Indeed, Africa's lower COVID-19 death rates were influenced by its younger population. I apologize for any exaggeration in mentioning 'hundreds of millions' – that was an oversight. However, the core idea is that global vaccine equity could have a significant impact on saving lives in regions with limited healthcare resources. It's about recognizing the potential of accessible vaccines to positively affect vulnerable populations and prevent unnecessary suffering. I apologize for any confusion caused by my previous point. What I meant to convey is that many technological advancements, including the development of the internet, have been facilitated by social reforms that improved education, infrastructure, and access to information. In the context of discussing economic systems, the idea was to show that societal changes and investments can pave the way for technological progress, regardless of the specific economic structure in place. The point is that historical shifts in society have influenced the trajectory of technological innovation, emphasizing the role of broader social factors in driving progress. 5. Your point about communism's historical limitations on freedom and religion is valid, but it's important to consider variations in its implementations. Advocating for communism in capitalist countries involves balancing free expression and stability. While certain communist states have restricted freedoms, it's crucial to recognize diverse possibilities within political systems. The conversation should encompass the range of outcomes and potential for balanced governance that respects individual rights.

WOW you really disagree with the idea of socialism, *ehem* 1. ok sure that might be true but, that is probably to make the consumer happy 2. yes inequality will always exist, that doesn't mean it HAS to be at this extent. 3. some businesses are extremely corrupt, that can be solved with worker democracy. the workers are the one doing the heavy lifting and providing the company with goods to sell so the workers should have a say in company policies. take a good look at r/antiwork and you will understand what i mean. 4. A Soviet hairdryer lasted 40 years and is still not only in working condition, but it is also still good as new. Most phones cant last a few years without something malfunctioning. Plus, hundreds of millions of lives were going to be saved if vaccines were available to all, especially Africa, not just 1st world countries. one more point, the reason us in first world countries can have things like the internet is because of social reforms in the 1900s Also, i am just curious, do a political compass test and send me your results. I am curious what your political stance is.

Hey, leave @Sketchyout of this smh

If dTC pretends to a kawaii girl, maybe he'll have more success getting spy ops done

!@#$ off, sketchy guy! My loyalty fully and only lies with The Aequitas International! - Miwlikot Pautway "Melix", Home Secretary of TAI

I wanted to propose the following addition to P&W, with a few purposes in mind. #1 – how can we drive more credit usage so that the amount of money invested into the game increases, which will help fuel more advertising to expand the player base and provide further attention to development? #2 – can we provide something more interesting to do with our nations in times of peace? Especially larger nations who aren’t usually raiding or building too often. #3 – can we do so without providing a huge competitive advantage to our nations in the traditional sense and is this something where new and old players can be on a relatively equal playing field to compete against one another since the game’s tiering differences mean we never compete against one another in wars? #4 – Alex should be rewarded financially for the game, so increasing his revenues for that is more than fair. Whether baseball or keno, this game has dabbled in areas outside of our nation’s normal operations to make things a little more interesting. So with that, I would like to present the below proposal to incorporate The Olympics into P&W. The below is some general framework proposals. Don’t get caught up on the nuances on the credit costs or nitpick some of the formulas, as that would come via development discussions. This is simply to propose a starting point to work from. Timing Each Olympics will be held once every actual calendar year. There is a Summer and Winter Olympics, so for example, every January will be the Winter competition and every July will be the Summer competition. They will be numbered accordingly so they can be referred back to in the “history books” – Summer Games I, Summer Games IV, Summer Games XII, etc. Participation Every nation who has eligible athletes to compete are eligible to enter those athletes into the games. There will be a period of registration to send your delegation to the Olympics before the cutoff and the games are simulated based on fastest times when that monthly update happens. To enter your nation into the Olympics costs 1 credit and all of your athletes are now part of the competition. Events Keep things simple to start. There are two disciplines in both the Summer and Winter games, and each discipline has 4 events, for men’s and women’s. This means 16 events each Olympic games. Summer Olympics: Track – 100M, 200M, 400M, 800M Swimming – 100M, 200M, 400M, 800M Winter Olympics: Speed Skating – 500M, 1000M, 1500M, 10000M Skiing – Downhill, Super G, Slalom, Giant Slalom Each discipline above is split into two groups where an athlete will have training/times for both events. So, for example in track, your sprinters will have times in the 100M and 200M. You’d then have separate distance runner athletes who will have times in both the 400M and 800M. Awards For each event, the winners will receive gold, silver or bronze medals and a cash prize to your nation of $100M, $50M and $25M respectively. On your nation page there will be an Olympics section that has a little graphic that shows a count of the medals your nation has ever earned, and you can click on it and it’ll show you which Olympic games and events you won (and athlete info, times, etc). Besides your nation page, there will be a world Olympic section that will show the history and times of all past winners, medal counts for nations, world records for each event, etc. Construction So this is where most of the credits will be spent and where the P&W players work on their Olympic team. To activate this game feature, you have to buy an “Olympic Training Center” that costs, let’s say, 20 credits (worth approximately $500M). This isn’t a project using project slots, this is just a separate feature altogether. That way, a new player can participate if they want, without taking up valuable slots for their nation and putting them at a competitive disadvantage. Once you buy the training center, you’d have a page that is set up to list your athletes in the various disciplines. Below is an example of what that might look like. You have slots for three athletes in each discipline and can select how much to allocate daily to their training. When you have an opening, one will automatically spawn as a new 18-year-old athlete. There would be an age minimum to being able to select to retire your athlete. Let’s say, 21 years old – that way people can’t retire and keep respawning until they get superior athletes. The thought process being that the athlete who spawns in your list is the best promising athlete your nation has to offer. Enhancements For further credit usage, there could be a few options you can buy in time to increase how great your athletes can become. For each of the four disciplines (Track, Swimming, Skating, Skiing) you can buy upgraded facilities for 2 credits each. So, I could select to upgrade my skating to focus on that for 2 credits. With that, my skating athletes get a 20% boost in their training, as an example. Another option can be to expand the facility, so that instead of three athletes in an event, I could have 5, let’s say. These are other ways that people can invest more credits to increase their chance of winning events and provide more monetary value to the game. Athlete page Each athlete you can click on them and it will have their training and Olympic games performance listed, so you can see their progress. Ultimately it’s just their times we need to see. It could look something like this: Training So when an athlete is generated, they’ll have some randomly generated features that we won’t see as players, all we’ll see is their times and age. But the game will generate a starting point for their speed within a range and then also within a range the age that athlete will hit their peak and when they will start to decline. So as my athlete is progressing towards their peak, I can generally expect their times will improve, then as they’re in their peak range, they’re roughly maintain that level, and finally when they begin to decline, they’ll begin to lose speed. The ranges will be roughly determined and what players receive will be randomly assigned within those windows so that there is good variability to them. We would want some athletes to be naturally dominant though, even without training. So someone could spawn an 18 year old swimmer that would beat my 24 year old swimmer in her prime after years of training. The odds would be small, but that’s an example of ways to make it interesting and fun. On average, the better trained athletes will win though – but natural ability assigned to your athletes can give a huge advantage. So the start of each month, the game would aggregate how much you spent on that athlete’s training for the month and then update their new times, as you can see in the example chart above. These times would be based on last month’s time, plus or minus their change from the factors of their age, their peak dates, training and some randomness. So if an athlete got slower, maybe that was because of an injury (as an example of what random decline could equate to) – bottom line, no guarantee of improving. However, if an athlete isn’t in their prime yet, you’d generally expect most months they are getting faster. Let’s talk about training dollars you allocate to your athlete. Rather than making it some standard formula, I think relative to the rest of the game would be most “fair”. Let’s say there’s 100 female distance swimmers in the game, behind the scenes each athlete’s training dollars spent on them could be ordered most to least, so if I spent the most on my swimmer, I have a higher probability of improving more than anybody else (randomness could still impact that). So if I spent $1M on my athlete and you spent $900k on yours, on average I’d improve more than yours. Let’s say I spent $5M instead of $1M, it wouldn’t have had any additional impact, because I was #1 spender either way. These would be meant to be negligible differences between #1 and #2, but could be significant between #1 and #75 on the list, for example. There’d also be a daily cap on how much you can spend on training. That way, someone couldn’t come along on the last day of the month and drop $10M on their athlete when I’ve been paying $100k daily all month long (consistent training advantage). Anyway, this is just a general framework to initiate the idea and see if this is something the community and game developers would have interest in pursuing or not. I think with the baseball mechanics, some of this could be leveraged and ultimately none of this really interplays with the existing coding of the game, as this is a build-on separate from that in many ways. The athletes would just need to age 1 year every 3 real life months and a list of female names would need to be made for random generation, similar to what’s done in baseball right now. But if this were built, it could be later expanded further to incorporate other disciplines or sports, world championships instead of just Olympics, alliance competitions, etc.

Replying "dnn" doesn't do it anymore, please shut the !@#$ up. Please, please shut the !@#$ up about your test server already. I am on my knees and begging.

Hi guys, would be useful having the ability to sort or filter these kind of tables, pretty much how it works on excel:

Soooo... how much money we talking here? Asking for a friend

Interesting alliance description and nation description you've got

Man Rose out here being that dodgeball team full of the "no i didnt get hit i dodged it" smh

Bruh I can’t wait to see this fail like every single other one of Demons junky AAs lol was already hitting random alliances for no reason what’s this now number 7 lol He’s last one got attacked and forced to merge into cam cause Demon said and I quote “ I hate all gay people we’re gonna attack any alliance that has a pride flag”

UPN when they see this

When getting a vicroty in a war, if someone already in beige it shows expired and does not add to the Beige days.

Why is there a new drama surrounding him every week

Oh. Apologies. I was under the mistaken impression that tS's FA dept had imploded from a lack of ability and that was the reason they had kept changing allies and spheres over the last couple of years. Now I see my mistake. What I originally mistook for incompetence is actually a burning desire on tS's behalf to courageously bring balance to this game by constantly changing treaties and spheres so as to prevent any one alliance from assuming a position of preeminent dominance. I unreservedly apologise for my mistaken presumption.

Nukes are very destructive! And their counter is pretty small 25% chance of shooting down a nuke in vital defense system and espionage which cant be done for newly made nuke. this suggestion is mostly to finish off atrrition based nation who keeps nuking people in war (they are the aggresors). How should we do this? By using our airforce for counter. the counter can only happen when the country that is attacked have enough munitions and has air superiority in the war. there will be an extra 20% chance for the nuke to be shot down if there is more than 1000 aircrafts (that is the capped amount to increase their chance). Other than that, if there is both iron dome and vital defense system there will be another 10% chance to shot down a nuke thanks to an addition to defending your airspace (if your enemy have air superiority your chances to shoot down a nuke will be halved). there will also be a military action for air patrol to increase the chance to 20% in order to shoot down any missile or nuke (this action will cost 3 MP and your enemy aircrafts will take more 25% damage if are doing an airstrike just like fortifying). This will greatly reduce the number of nuke based attack (reducing pollution problem in global wars and such). fortress war tactic will also increase the chance to shoot down any missiles or nukes by 10% Original: Creating a counter for nukes Nukes are very destructive! And there is barely any counter which is espionage which cant be done if its brand new. this is mostly to finish off atrrition based nation who keeps nuking people in war (they are the aggresors). How should we do this? By using our airforce for counter. the counter can only happen when the country that is attacked have enough munitions and has air superiority in the war. there will be a 50% chance for the nuke to be shot down if there is more than 1000 aircrafts (that is the capped amount of chance). Other than that, if there is iron dome there will be another 10% chance to shot down a nuke (only when you have air superiority). This will greatly reduce the number of nuke attack this is subject to change if implemented

This is it! The Stewie Mafia Bloc is going to be the Order Of The Stars now.(Order Of The Stars is one alliance) From combined votes from members of The Stewie Mafia Bloc the majority wanted to merge into a newly created alliance so we created Order Of The Stars because of that majority vote and with 5 members we are rank 6 in the test server as a alliance for score. Thanks for ur time.

No one cares about Aurora. Like at all.

Test

Yes it is time for a update on Order Of The Stars! We have been growing,we still don't have some members of The Stewie Mafia Bloc,but new members have joined the alliance! Currently we are #5 on the rankings and with over 30,000 score so we are growing. if you want to join go to the alliance discord and apply (the link is in the alliance page). Thanks for reading and have a good day!

quit asking me for it this is not for wanting test server nation links do not reply unless it it relevant

Here is the rule: https://politicsandwar.com/rules/ I would say that your post qualifies at a minimum of "showing a dislike of homosexual people" which is not allowed.

I didn't issue the warning, and the warning should have had more specific detail. However, I believe that your bulletin could have and probably did make some LGTBQ+ players (IRL) uncomfortable, and there's really no reason that you needed to write that. It was more of a personal opinion than nation roleplay. This is an online game where you don't have to see or know what anyone's real-life is like, and so your bulletin which was potentially harmful and had no real relation to the game was taken down.
