Welcome back Vellocet. Best of luck this time around.

What if alliances can set tariffs on other alliances only?

The downfall of men. But it does sound like an interesting idea. It could probably be fleshed out a bit more, though. I like the idea of spawned nations that contain the bonuses to grab, perhaps with an AI script to make them a challenge? (although that could be troublesome), also the strength should be a diceroll limited by a range from the current NS of player's nations, or a "superpower" to make it a challenge with teamwork required, but only one nation getting the spoils, perhaps the one that does the most damage? Honestly, I don't know what's feasible, but I like the base concept.

But that's...

Shouldn't you be using the flag with the eagle etc. since it's Francoist Spain? i.e.: On topic: Best of luck with your conscription efforts in your nation. Nueva Granada also employs compulsory lengths of service in its armed forces (or civil equivalent) for its citizens over the age of 18.

As far as I know, this is not a bug, this is because the score contribution by spies is very low. You would need to have a sizeable number of spies for the pie sliver to be easily visible.

Well, like a war, if you have your forces killed, it gets added to casualties, as you pointed out. Since spying is an act of war (basically), it should be treated the same, I think. So all those cases where spies kill or destroy stuff need fixing to be added to the casualty counts.

I got the following notification: However, my nation display shows 0 lost spies, where I should have 6 because of the casualties inflicted. https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=1895

Good luck with that.

Good luck with Sigma, Lyro!

Because PB has provided all the proof, right? All we have is their word and that's all there is to this thread. Words, empty meaningless accusations and PB dodging the truth for a political play against us. Why someone would target us, a neutral alliance, I will never know.

What if Belisarius was the recipient of a spy attack and killed some in defense? That would do the same.

I trust Belisarius completely and I have no doubt whatsoever that he would never do anything which would harm the GPA. He is a lifer. Why shit in your own nest? Now you don't have to believe me, you can believe what you want, but I back Belisarius 100% in this matter and refuse to let him be slandered over a long standing grudge. Those who distrust the GPA are likely going to believe those claims and those that don't will write them off as the unfounded libel they are.

So guilty until proven innocent. This is a witch hunt.

Your evidence is circumstantial and unverified at best. If you can't prove it, it didn't happen. Simple as that. GG Thanks for the laughs though. Please continue to make more comedy gold, PB. FYI: Keeping a grudge from the speed round and acting on it is poor form.

Congratulations to VE & tS. I look forward to a harmonious Green sphere, the Sphere of Win.

Congrats on your DoE e buona fortuna!

Best of luck Reagan, I'm sure you won't need it though. I've known the Blackstone Commission both here and elsewhere, and I wish you well once more.

Thanks for the anti-spam update, Sheepy.

It seems to load faster, so I like it.

Congratulations on your new government.

Onwards and upwards!

Collectivism is how much you believe in collectivisation, aka communism, where everyone's resources are pooled (100%) and the opposite of that, private ownership of everything (-100%) Authoritarianism is how much power you believe the government should have, from anarchistic (-100%) to totalitarian (100%). Internationalism is how much you believe your country should interact with other nations, through interventionism to aid, with interventionism at 100% and isolationism at -100%. Triballism is another word for nationalism, or keeping with your own kind/tribe, with complete multiculturalism views at -100% and ultra-nationalist views at 100%. Liberalism, in this sense, means personal freedoms, so 100% means no restrictions on your freedoms (such as censorship), and -100% means it's 1984 and Big Brother is watching you. Hope that explains it. At least, that's what I'm interpreting it as.

You are a: Socialist Bleeding-Heart Libertine Collectivism score: 67% Authoritarianism score: 0% Internationalism score: 0% Tribalism score: -100% Liberalism score: 100% Interesting results.
