we did that, now we are just leaning against a tree trying not to fall over, singing "Can you show me the way to go home..."

and thanks for those numbers aries, they are certainly useful maybe on our next run, we'll be able to decipher more detail. but i think the numbers you made available, offer a degree of detail that is beyond anything i've seen posted before, and very useful for country management

some other things we can delve into, is pop progression along age categories, and the education process. their is some eye opening detail their, in how the process works

not to turn this into a empire comparision, but for reference of aircraft fuel. 2 of my countries, with just one each of O and D Airbases, and 5 radar planes, have a consumption in the 500 Tons a month range.

Sandy Shores
Aircraft Fuel 546

Fort Klamath
Aircraft Fuel 521

I'll buy one D air base in each, and post any change/non-change in a couple days.

As far a gasoline, its very possible that it is related to the population consumption of Cars, Total roads, maybe Road maintenance and/or quality plays a part, as well stock piled trucks might play a part? I'll consider a way to experiment with those factors.

to begin a discussion of education

some questions,

what effect would a higher school or high school index, compared to universities effect?

what effect does the school index have, after all the students are in school?

and how, other than the obvious, of education priorities, are students graduated? if the question even makes since

Any Scotch left? lol.

Always. As soon as these two pass out we can steal their wallets and buy a fresh bottle.

Lol.

old, but still relevant in some ways, over all, I passed out, and woke up, kinda, making a current point in a gentler way than the other way

Josias/Orbiter

I raided him after he left.

He had some ok swag but nothing spectacular.
