Epsilon Andromedae opens an Embassy in our Region

After negotiations we concluded an Embassy Exchange with New Byzantium Region, represented by their Founding Nation Epsilon Andromedae. Two other regions are also a part of this ever Empire: The Isles of Arden and The World of Rocket Scientists.

The Industrial Underground of Epsilon Andromedae is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.998 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Public Transport. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Arms Manufacturing.
Several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Epsilon Andromedae, and scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Epsilon Andromedae's national animal is the Yewlus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Kheop.

We welcome The Colony of BJNU !!!


We welcome today as our 27th member nation in our Region The Colony of BJNU (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=bjnu ).


The Colony of BJNU is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 6 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 28%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Automobile Manufacturing.
Elections have been outlawed. Crime is moderate. BJNU's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dd.

We welcome the Republic of Carakus !!!


Another esteemed nation, The Republic of Carakus (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=caracus ), has joined today our Region as the 26th member nation.

The Republic of Carakus is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 199 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 29%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports industries.
Young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, and government-run brothels can be found on every street corner. Crime is totally unknown. Carakus's national animal is the orangutan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the karacent.

Ministerial Elections Results in 01 Eastern Roman Empire

2. Minister of Foreign Affairs: The Commonwealth of Orthodox Republics elected for 1 year receiving the support voting of six of our members (second in the process was The Empire of Hellenic Miracle been a substitute in case something happens to the new Minister during his assignment)- CONGRATULATIONS to The Commonwealth of Orthodox Republics.

We welcome The Colony of Whyre !!


We happily welcome today The Colony of Whyre (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=whyre ) in our Region. The new nation member of our Region arrived from Wermland to 01 Eastern Roman Empire and it is a member of United Nations.
The Colony of Whyre is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 760 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 92%, and even higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.
The government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, teachers are routinely tested to keep their jobs, cities are engulfed by smog, and heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste and avoid even more costly cleanup costs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Whyre's national animal is the ant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Krowna.

Our population is over 6 billion people !!!

And the growth is continuous ... Our Region's population has exceeded today the 6 billion people (6,013,000,000), living peacefully in 24 nation states.
Among them there are nation states like Sigmadom with 2,056,000,000 people and nation states like The Real Hellas with just 5,000,000 people.

The Queendom of The Real Hellas

The Queendom of The Real Hellas (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=The+Real+Hellas )has joined today our Region.


The Queendom of The Real Hellas is a tiny, economically powerful nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5 million are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, pro-business individuals devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Information Technology industries.
Crime is a serious problem. The Real Hellas's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the statir.

The average income tax rate is 30%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, followed by Trout Farming and Basket Weaving.

Recent Diplomatic Activities

We proposed an Embassy Exchange with The Kingdom of The Midlands Region (through their Founder The Modified Freedom Forces of Euroslavia - Game Moderator).


We also proposed an Embassy Exchange with the Region of Greece (through their Forum as they are a region without a Founder).

The Empire of The Pikeish Boxers has re-joined our Region. We are now 16 nations in the Region and our today population is 859,000,000 people.

Nationstates Influence (Safalra's Guide)

This guide was first posted in the Regional Influence (NSv1.9 changes) thread in the NationStates Technical forum.

Note that this list is unofficial, as the NationStates moderators refuse to confirm the ordering of any of the NationStates rankings.

Safalra's Guide To Influence

When a nation moves to a region, it has no influence within that region. Nations accrue influence in a region by remaining in the region, and by receiving endorsements from the region's members. Being a member of the UN has no effect unless the nation gains endorsements, and the influence of the nations endorsing has no effect either.

At each UN update the each nation's influence is increased by a constant factor (to represent its remaining in the region) and a factor proportionate to the number of UN endorsements it has. The precise equivalence between these two factors (for example, whether having n endorsements is equivalent to remaining in a region for n days) is unclear.
The regional power is equal to the sum of the national influence of all its members (updated each UN update), and is displayed as a ranking on a scale ranging from 'Backwater' to 'Extremely High'.

The national influence ranking (ranging from 'Minnow' to 'Hermit') is determined by the ratio of national influence to total regional influence and the previous UN update. If the nation joined the region since the last UN update it has no power. If the region was created since the last UN update all its member have ranking 'Hermit' until the next UN update.

The ordering of national influence rankings is as follows:

Hermit

Hegemony

Dominator

Superpower

Power

Powerbroker

Eminence Grise

Enforcer

Dealmaker

Instigator

Contender

Negotiator

Auxiliary

Ambassador

Diplomat

Envoy

Duckspeaker

Handshaker

Truckler

Vassal

Minnow

The ordering can mainly be deduced by looking at regions where all nations have identical influence (mainly regions without UN members where the membership hasn't changed since the influence system was introduced):

This also allows us to derive bounds on the share of total regional influence that leads to each title.
The positions of the remaining rankings can be deduced by using the regional XML feeds to determine the relative ages of nations in a region and see how this correlates with the rankings of those that aren't UN members. To complete the list above the regions of England, The YoungWorld, Indus River Valley, and 00000000000000000 ALL 4 TEENS were used.
