Yes, this must come to an end.

You can embargo Gurd while you are at it. Please and thank you.

I believe you envision war to be its romanticized movie self. You, as well as everyone here, has been desensitized to what it actually is. Go to Google, search "bestgore" have a look around, maybe even the war specific videos/images, and then tell me that you wish for children to see such things. Even then, will you still not be able to comprehend what war really is. Until you are right there, seeing those videos/images with your own eyes.

Regardless of what these guys are saying, yes, you can have two nations; albeit, it is frowned upon. I would delete one of them if I were you.

I do not want to shoot you down, but ... this has been proposed before.

But coal/oil also produce manufactured resources. If you wish to do that (and not import coal/oil), then you must use even more improvement slots as to power your cities AND have the necessary amount of mines as to not produce a negative amount.

I love history. Everything about my country is the way it is on purpose (its location, name, leader name, city names, etc.). My country is set on St. Petersburg because that was the capital of the Russian Empire. What is my country? The Russian Empire. My country is where it is for a reason; I would be very displeased to move.

This is not targeted at Francisco Franco, but in address to near all points made thus far. In support that Russia has been better off now, than in the Soviet era. Two major things to note by the above graph: (1) It starts as the Soviet Union collapsed, thus as it starts in 1992, the economy would not have been a sudden drop as the slow drop at the start is the transition period,, thus is the true effect of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Where the graph starts (~1,200B), is where the Soviet Union would have been the previous years. (2) The Soviet Union was in both stagnation and decline from the end of Kruschev's reign. This ended around 1970 (I think 1968?), since the USSR had its truer start around 1922 and ended in 1991, let us do some maths: It existed for ~69 years and was in stagnation (starting from Kruschev's end) for the remaining 31 years. 31 / 69 = 0.44 ... so the USSR was in both stagnation and decline for 44% of its existence. Near half. Transition periods are always troublesome. As you can see, with no international financial crisis, the economy went down. But through relief funds for the 1998 financial crisis and a change in government regime benefited Russia to a point of regaining its international standard as a world superpower. In the '90s, Russia was not much of anything, as it was, to reiterate, in a period of transition to a market economy. Now, Russia is much better off. It is quite blatant, I find. Here is another graph: This is GDP per capita, being an economic measurement based upon the average yearly income of all citizens that are the age of majority. If the counterargument, at all, contains support for Communism in general and not just the Soviet era of Russia, take note that China is on this GDP per capita graph as well. China became its most capitalist form, its current forum, beginning in the 1980s. So, the transition to free markets in both cases has greatly improved both countries. Economist.com states the Russia has seen a 150% increase in its GDP per capita since the Soviet Union. Not as much as Google's graph, but it still supplies the argument that Russia has seen an economic benefit since the Soviet collapse. Fox Fire did not cite anything for his/her GDP numbers. Also, he/she did not tell of which GDP measurement was used to get those numbers. There are several different GDPs. The first of my graphs, does, in fact, come from the IMF (its citation is on the bottom of the image). The second is a graph from Google, and even starts in the Soviet Era; showing that there was no sharp decline by its collapse.

Man, I never see this much activity from you on the alliance forum.
