Security Council

One of a councilman's duties is to begin the votes which grant development aid. Although we start the votes, it is those who need it that should take the initiative to ask for it.

As such, if you qualify and wish to receive development aid from the Security Council, please post your application here.

Bear these things in mind:

Requirements:
- Country must own less than 2T in assets.
- Your empire must be below game level 3.

Application:
- Country name;
- How much to receive (1 to 5T);
- Reason (new, in debt, etc.)
- Optional: how you will spend it.
- Etc.

If you need, and are a fully registered new player, by all means ask for it. if it isnt granted by we of the security council we can hand it out from our own pockets, most of us on the security Council, can help new comers with Finance problems as well as building countries issues, all you have to do is ask us! we dont bite, well some do, some only nibble haha

i agree with both LG and BA. KB is not very active right now and one of the reasons is that so many players end up going bankrupt or getting into economic trouble. any of us would be willing to help you and getting funds from the Security Council is just one way to make it and be a good member of KB.

The reason KB is not very active right now is that it is boring! A war continent is what is needed. People could war on only that continent, which would help to improve the KB economy. It would also make things more interesting.

Yeah.

When people don't buy ammo, the economy goes sour. Do the world a favor: blow up your neighbor.

That didn't rhyme as well as I wanted it to.

I'm not looking to start a world was on KB.

I just think that if we had a continent where players could try out the war engine on each other's "test slaves", without having to worry about retaliation on their main empire, it would not only be good for the economy, but would also encourage new players to get more involved.

Of course there are risks to this idea, but 'no guts, no glory!"

I know what you meant, that post wasn't entirely serious.

It's actually a good idea. It's probably the best way to try out the war game right now: with small countries to minimize loss, and against opponents who know it's coming.

And KB is a good place to do it...the economy definitely could use a boost.

We're getting a little off topic from the original intent of this thread...I just wanted to add that.

Going back to BA's message=

I for one fully agree, and would be more than willing to help anybody that is a full member. Both with advice and monetary aid. I am sure that there are many more to that would love to help also.

If any one is interested they can message me on Thunder kiss on LU. Or BA's country The Patient.

King Xenu and i are going to try an experiment in friendly war on KB. we're each going to take a c3 next to one another,no more than 20forts, no nukes, and a limit of 4t in weapons and ammo. you can choose whatever weapons you want other than nukes. the winner will be the one who ends up with the lowest wi when all the weapons/ammo are used up or takes the other country. no replenishment of weapons or ammo. also, no assistance from your empire or friends.

we'll see how it works. we anticipate that this will require some interesting strategies. it should't break anyone and i hope will create a more congenial relationship with one another. i know he and i have had a good time talking about it and planning.

Can we get some security council aid for our new c3s?

do you mean a real c3 or just new players? i don't think you can get aid for one of your own empire.

I was joking...although, if it was possible...

/me slaps everyone on the back of the head

War will do about as good to the world economy as corn, soybeans and rice.

There are four certain things that can be done to improve the economy:
- Increase population;
- Employ as many workers as possible;
- Increase their salaries;
- Build corporations;

All these things increase aggregate demand. Now war decreases aggregate demand by killing population, creating unemployment among professionals, offers lower salaries than corps (for the most part) and destroys corporations.

Most players think war is good for the economy, because it creates weapon corps that draw supplies from the other markets and the resulting products don't affect the other markets. That's a mistake. When there is unemployment, that doesn't work as the demand created is not nearly enough. Second, most of those corps close after the war. Third, even if there wasn't exce

What is good for the world economy is good for us all, for every country's economy is open at or near 100%.

So you're saying that blowing stuff up isn't good for the world economy? Unbelievable! I thought this was supposed to be a realistic game?

Two towers go down in New York and markets everywhere take three steps back. If someone blew up the United States, I would like to see how the world would fare. The aftermath of the world wars was not pretty.

War here, as in the real world, poses too many economic and humans costs to have a positive effect on aggregate demand. Military spending, on the other hand, is very good. It creates jobs, employs the unemployed, yada, yada. However, unlike the real world, the really good spending is that which has a repetitive nature such as ammo spending, military services, supplies, components, etc.

The game has a good macroeconomic model. It is very realistic for what it is used for. The principles are here, as far a keynesian model is concerned, the only thing one can argue about is quantity. The extra functions of satisfying "excess" surplus or shortage aren't realistic though, but necessary.

Unfortunately, when those two towers went down, a lot of people made a lot of money from the suffering of others on all sides. It is one of the things that greatly saddens me in the real world, that so much money and resources are devoted to something that is basically the result of fear. Whether that fear is due to a need for security or a need for power (which is really an expression of insecurity), it is unfortunate that mankind has not evolved much in 6,000 years.

War does a good job of pulling a country out of a recession, and depending on the size of the war of shoving it back into another. The build-up that preceded and continued during WWII helped Europe and the USA get out of the recession, specially in the USA where military spending reached 38% of the GDP. Right in the year that the war ended, 1945, there was a recession. And another recession from 1948 to 49. Recessions also followed in the US after the end of the Korean and Vietnam wars.

In Europe, what war did of good was bomb way the old, outdated capital and make way to build more efficient capital. That did set the stage for the Golden Years.

Usually, the graphs shown about GDP are about real GDP growth. Two about things that: it is kind of hard to have negative growth when your whole country is already in the slums - besides being difficult, if not impossible to get accurate information -; Plan Marshall did a good job in helping the re
