Strip a Country (White Giant)

I don't like the concept of mass stripping of a country.

This game is called "Simcountry"

What does stripping "sim" ulate?

Stripping is done in real life, is it not? People strip the resources out the earth. People strip animals from the planet. People strip the atmosphere of various gasses?

So yes, I'd say that stripping is real!

It's calling pillaging IRL.

But how else will a poor empire with a young slave to raise make money with low education indexes?

I remember when c3's were loaded with 5T$..but that's when i started out,right with the transition from the old war engine to the new one so i didn't know how to take a c3.

$wag is good.

...but stripping in Simcountry is moving 20-50% of your countries population in a real short time.

We are not talking about stripping resources here
We are not talking about stripping animals here
We are not talking about stripping the atmosphere

We are talking about stripping a country of a huge chunk of it's people (people being traded as a commodity)Human traficing on a grand scale

Where is the "Sim" in that?

What really bugs me is the penalty the ceo company has to pay the strip country to move a corp out. The host country invites you in, takes more than half your profit. (Sometimes over 100% of your profit in a down commodity market) Then one day the country owner is bored and sells half it's people.

So you can't stay with only an 11% workforce. You have to move and pay a movement penalty. ($5 billion minimum) WHAT AN INSULT!

You can always wait till the country gets de-registered and then move for free.

Thats a great idea, move for free.

I have a company that went from a pre-strip valuation of $400 billion to $0.00 billion

My company going from $40 billion in cash to $1 billion in cash

...not to mention the debt that racks up.

Still want to wait for the free move?

Yes, because I don't think it's that big of a deal.

You can have 750 corps in your CEO. Some die. Just replace them. And if your CEO isn't making enough money to cover the debt from the occasional closed corps, then you should probably work on your CEO - same for the moving penalty.

If you're upset about the moving penalty then that's fine, but don't attack stripping countries. It's a great way to make coins and profit off of inactives.

What does it simulate? Stripping countries is our version of annexing the Sudetenland, or invading Poland... or Manchuria if you prefer. It's not just adding a country, it's absorbing a country.

That is also an important reason to be somewhat particular as to where you locate your c

See Maestro, if you lived on LU, i would allow you to move into my main country, and there would be no stripping. Come to LU

Unfortunately, Wendy, occasionally your countries get taken and the new owners are not as friendly as your are. ;^)

Consider this.
If you are stripping a country, then you are taking everything valuable that can be taken.
If people are treated as a valuable commodity, this is called slavery.
If you have slave countries, then slavery must exist in SC.
If slavery exists in SC, then it is entirely possible to pillage people as a valuable commodity.

So if you strip a slave country, it is entirely possible to take people as slaves.

/me removes 'slave' cylinder from his cars braking system...

"Aint no stopping me now, I'm on the move..."

'Slave' does not necessarily mean black person in chains.

Crafty

If I was treated as a valuable commodity, I wouldn't mind being a slave.

Slaves aren't treated as valuable commodities though. They are but aren't treated as such.

Not in SimCountry either, they get nuked >_<
