Voodoo Nova Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) It is just simple economics. If these meganations wish to transit our route, when we wish them to keep their distance, we shall tax them. If they wish to worm around this by use of middlemen, we shall tax those too. OOC: So who actually RP's economies 100% of the time, which would make it worth taxing anyone anything?

OOC: My Economy is quite simple I RP it as my my nation income for that day. So everyday I get about 2.7 million after taxes and then if I have any saved I add that in to. that way I can ensure I don't overspend in CNRP.

LeVentNoir Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 With fewer than normal typhoons occurring this season, money allocated to disaster relief has instead been reinvested, 50% in increased aquaculture, a return on investment expected to increase the nations aquaculture harvest by a massive 2.13%. This equates to enough food to halt imports of food from other countries in some areas, while in others, the expected surplus has companies looking for markets in which high quality aquaculture foodstuffs could be sold with only 6 months market research and development. The other 50% is being placed in advanced research for sea bed mining and seawater mineral extraction and processing, expected to show an increase in aluminum and iron elemental recovery while several large ore veins are being investigated in the area of Zealandia.

LeVentNoir Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) Due to recent Nordic aggression, GAN vessels have been placed near territorial borders, mainly those to our north east, as well as the GAA being moved onto a near war footing ready for complete mobilization to whatever theatre is needed. Along with this, munitions factories have been moved to buildup production capacity, officially defined as 133% wartime production and 266% peacetime production.

LeVentNoir Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) **Classified** *Wester side of the Aotearoan Line Islands* There was a massive military force out here. Four Fleets. The best naval force in the world. One of the largest concentrations of force seen recently in the pacific. In a diamond pattern, 300km from point to adjacent point sat four Aotearoan Naval fleets. Each fleet had one Carrier, along with 7 Supercruisers and 2 Interdictors. Arranged in a ring formation with the Interdictors on the outer edge of the diamond, they were in almost full warmode through out the ship, however, stealth mode had not been disabled, so guns were still covered, and EM emissions curtailed. In the dark waters below them, a wide ranging ring of 4 Shadow Class submarines provided additional support between the fleets. However, AWACS planes and CAP were in the air, along with YF-46 (-R) loadout strike bombers for even more airborne protection. And in the middle of the diamond was transports for a massive 30 heavy infantry divisions along with attached groups and formations, as well as the massive logistical support needed for a land war. It would be a interesting sight to see who was going to try any thing. No matter what anyone said, the Pacific was the playground of Glorious Aotearoa, and they were the big kid with the knuckle dusters. SATINT was being constantly used to update the internal computers of the ships via Battlenet. The massive land based Radars on the Line Islands were at full power, providing long range imaging out over the ocean, while they covered each others blind spots, and the Aotearoan SOSUS system all worked together under the highly trained operators and computer software all looking for anything which would challenge Aotearoa in their own waters.

LeVentNoir Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) It has been noted that our older version of the Supercruiser was not performing as well as we would like, so an upgraded and over hauled design has been brought forth for immediate production. Supercruiser, designation ANSC-XX (Some stealth covers retracted) Nuclear guided missile stealth cruiser. Has 512 VLS for cruise missiles, SRTBMs, anti ship weapons, along with multiple 10 cell SAMs and interceptor missile vertical block defense sites. Has 12 122.5MJ railguns in twin stealth housings. 8 triple 5" ETC naval cannons with guided RAM. Has 10 torpedo tubes, and can fire interception weaponry from them. Battlenet integrated. Upgraded ship protection with 3 extra PFEW bring it to 7, and two extra HETCLGG CWIS mounts, for a total of 6. Twin main radar, with target control radar paired with a long range OTH-B system, and extra independent millimeter wave tracking radars and CWIS radars. We will be answering questions you may pose, although classified material will not be discussed. Due to a imbalance in the usage of our naval shipyard facilities to make these ships, we are also taking contracts for naval constructions / upgrades from other nations.

Lynneth Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 We will be answering questions you may pose, although classified material will not be discussed. This probably is one of the 122.5 MJ railguns, right? What would this be? An AA-emplacement (Laser?) or some scanning device? Similarly, what is this? Radar or a microwave weapon? What kind of gun is this? It does not seem to be mentioned in the small prospect. Missile Cells, if we assume right? This are the triple 5" ETC guns, yes? Left to right: Twin main radar, missile tracking radar and CWIS? (or CWIS and missiletracking) Other than that, what are length, height, width, displacement, draught, speed and complement of the ship? The classified parts (perhaps speed, for example) won't have to be answered, obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a scale picture, with one px representing 0.15m. So it is 285m long, 22.5m high (from waterline), beam 32.5m, draft 12.5m, speed is classified while the ships compliment numbers 700.

LeVentNoir Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Scientists within Glorious Aotearoa have announced that they with governmental backing will be building a Orbital Capable Launch Loop. This is a concept which works by having a linearly accelerated particle raised to 80km, the accelerated to 11km/s. This is achieved by having a very long and thin ferric rotor core traveling in a loop at speeds upto 14km/s in a vacuum sealed magnetically constrained sheath. At full speed, on a short straight area at the western end, the load will be applied using magnets to generate eddy currents within the rotor, and hence high forces on the payload, accelerating it at 3g. After traveling along the proposed 2000km launch loop, the payload will be going at 11km/s and will release the magnetic clamp holding the rotor, and it fly into space as the launch loop curves away. A small rocket will be needed to circularize the orbit but that requires a delta-v of between 1.6km/s and 500m/s, much lower than rocket launch of 12-14km/s. With a proposed power generation solution reaching nearly 17GW, we could launch 80 5Gg payloads an hour, with a cost of only $3/kg. With a lower power generation, (500MW) it has been calculated that 35 launches a day could occur, with costs of only $300/kg. Compared to even low cost rockets to LEO, ($2500/kg) or GEO ($20000/kg) this is a much more economical solution. Unlike the now unused Canadian space elevator, this requires no new technologies or advanced research, simply a lot of space. And here is a simple picture of the concept.

Rebel Army has not been observed to use the elevator in any way so far, and so although it is in 'active status' and is being maintained, since no missions have been conducted from it, we must deem it to be operationally inactive.

LeVentNoir Posted July 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) On the back of massive growth of 7% last year, the economy is under taking a massive boom. This is mainly due to increased Pax Pacific trade, as well as population growth which has seen our nation become home to 137,200,000 people. We have brought new technologies into development as well as existing ones into maturity. Our high class living even with our limited lands provide the world with a shining example of urban optimization. With the on going urban clean up efforts, we have put more effort into health care and enviromentalism, and should see an even larger population boom soon. On the back of the announcement, the GAN further increased the stock price of Troll Mines as well as Pacific Munitions on the base of announcement of the overhaul of the Interdictor class ships, and the phased replacement with a larger fleet of new fast missile frigates. Fleet expansion is likely to be an estimated 7 ships, as the new class is brought into production. In other news, Pacific Assault IV began today. A series of war-games on the Line Islands, involving 20 divisions and 3 fleets. Its is based around simulated islands assault, in both defense and aggression plays. scientists have completed their launch loop, and are currently boosting the number of satellites in out Space Based Remote Power Array. The SBRPA is a microwave frequency power transmission array for the beaming of power to our often small islands, where other forms of generation are not feasible. They are also starting research on a fusion nuclear power plant to further boost national power production and indeed possibly start to export it. Finally, Duke James of Kiribati, the current finance minister has released the latest budget figures. GDP: 2.45 trillion dollars. Tax rate. 35% Resulting Government budget. 25% to mandatory civilian upkeep costs, 18% to government research grants, 15% to education, 15% to healthcare, 8% to military, 6% to transport, 5% to infrastructure expansion, 3% to total miscellaneous spending, 3% to police, 2% unassigned Total spending: 859.6 billion dollars Edited July 3, 2009 by LeVentNoir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeVentNoir Posted July 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 With the acquisition of Tasmania, we feel it necessary to update our EEZ, so here is the most recent version. Also, steps are being taken to bring Tasmania into line with Aotearoan civilian infrastructure standards, which has meant a major influx of capital into the already bull market, mainly channeled towards construction and raw materials suppliers, however with the increased circulation of capital, the economy as a whole is reporting gains. A majority of the Tasmanian tunnels will be simply sealed off, (except for access to cultural sites) while above ground construction takes place. With the main site of construction being Hobart, and the infrastructure being raised in Aotearoan fashion, we expect high density industrial, commercial and residential life to flood back to this city.

LeVentNoir Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 This EEZ impedes upon our Restricted Transit Zone around our Mainland. All we ask for is our 20 nautical miles, as has been previously advertised to the world. It does not. Let it be noted that your Zone has been respected. The Definition of our EEZ is freely available, and in accordance with it, no waters of other nations have been infringed. IC:"Seems Glorious Aotearoa is in the business of killing east Australian commerce. To think the amount of money he is wasting on all that open water too." thought Edward while sitting in his office. OOC: Say it publicly or F on out of here. I'll assume you did say it publicly. IC: Killing? How are we doing that? It is noted that there is free and open passage through our EEZ for any nations commercial ships. And waste of money? These waters allow us to decentralize mining, water mineral extraction and fishing so that strain on parts of our EEZ is relieved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavo Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 ***Private*** Lavo chuckled when he saw Aotearoa's new EEZ in his FA updates. "So it seems like Aotearoa is being greedy eh?" He said while he tossed the paper in recycling. "Killing the east Australian fishing industry, keeping all the minerals and metals of the sea to themselves, and spending so much on patrolling and watching the massive area. Quite the gluttonous waste of resources." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtleknifewielder Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 OOC; if this is mistaken, I'm sorry, but you didn't answer my question.

All areas 20 miles out, except where they previously conflicted with maritime claims of other nations, are under our jurisdiction, and defended as such.
