OT-RL treaties and Ranks

Randallw · #1 June 5th, 2004, 08:44 AM

I have had in my mind to post this thread for the Last week or so. How do others see the present RL treaties at the moment?, and also what rank would you place countries?.
The US is clearly ranked 1st. It has 2 major allies in its latest war. The UK which would be about 3rd or 4th, with which it has a Partnership. I was thinking my empire, Australia (ranked 20th, if that, out of 120 "players"), has a Military alliance with the US. This may be changing to a Partnership with an increased trade treaty. There are a number of other allies I don't know much about. Spain ,who's player quit after an event and whose new player left the war, and Poland and Japan.
I apologise if this is being covered in other current threads. Instead of getting angry at peoples views on real life issues, I avoid certain threads where opinions might annoy me.

Edit: just realised the event in Spain wasn't an event, more an intelligence attack.

This might be a good discussion for the Shrapnel General Forum.

Well If you think so. Really I have no wish to discuss reality though. I just thought it would be whimsical to compare the real world as a SE4 game and decide which position and treaties countries have. Were it to be in a general forum (and I only read the SE4 forum) and If people want to get into an indepth discussion of world politics then I'd rather not get involved. Too much opposing politics criticising each other.

Edit: on second thoughts I suppose if more people are interested the better. I just have a fear of things going downhill when the political opposition starts calling certain governments fascist lackeys of the right wing.

If you were going by score, the US would have already triggered mega-evil status and would be a threat to the other sentient races.

. Quite right. I thought Evil Empire was when you owned most of the map. Is it 300% of 2nd or something?.

Do I have to repost the thread in General Forum, or will a Moderator do it?.

How many in the general forum would really understand what has already been posted, though?

MEE?
The important distiction between Military Alliance and Partnership?
Player quitting?
