Congratulations, CRAPpers! Sildavia sends an entire cargo of its best Galian champagne to your headquarters. Cheers!

You forget that CyberNations is a Nation simulation game. You are free of not wishing to pay money for CN like it WAS (I don't think I am wishing it now, not with the warlike turning they did last summer), but a lot of people did. The proof is that it has continue to exist, and the game has been financially maintained and continued thanks to the people who paid monthly donations. Just remeber, there is no publicity, like in facebook, where gratuity is paid by advertisements. Actually, I see these monthly donations as perfect parts of the real functioning world. Some countries which have higher financial means give loans to other who don't, in exchange for commercial, political or military facilities. It is "tech deal" on the highest possible rank. The question is that, if they start to loose paying players, they will have to look for the interests of these paying players. The huge majority of these paying players are people over teen or college years, with real busy lives and jobs, expecting to build up a nation through economic, diplomatic and financial means, and go on with them through a long history, without an intense and continuos dealing of wars, tech raids and other nonsense. A huge majority of them are not raiders or rogues, like a huge majority of nations in the real world are not raiders or rogues. Of course, we don't have the figures, but Planet Realm must have them, because any firm managed by elementary clever people know their customers and how they react. If the present situation go on, I assure you that it will come a huge change. Market laws will impose it on Planet Realm and on the rogue teenage-like players. Of course, the alternative would be the end of CyberNations. It can't be sustained. Oh, and by the way, since several months ago, the donations may be sent up to 30 USD -not just 25, as before-, of course obtaining higher benefits for the player... and for the game firm. A lot of people have been therefore paying 30 USD a month, you see? Tell Planet Realm they are going to loose most of them.

But it's not me or others -like you- who care for money, but Planet Realm Gaining company, mi estimado Cubanito. Do you think they have established CyberNations for your fun? They earn money, mi estimado Cubanito, and they earn a LOT of money from the monthly real money donations. Did you think it was a social assistance team who is behind the game and its whereabouts? Well, then I spell it for you: they are not. It's a commercial firm, whose goal is earning REAL money. When this REAL money will start to drop because the game is in the hands of teenagers, things will change. The game will be down, or they will create a paid version from the start. Such is life.

I wonder how they are so many players stating that "neutrals didn't care for others, therefore now they are getting what they earned". They don't realize how many neutral nations have been, like mine, FOR YEARS LONG, helping other nations OUTSIDE their neutral alliances, with CN 'real money' monthly donations in exchange of trade or tech, to start with. There are many ways to help other countries at war, without being at war, like USA did from 1939 up to december 1941, helping Britain AND RUSSIA with the cash-and-carry, lend-and-lease, destroyers-for-bases, etc... Read Churchill's memoirs: Britain wouldn't have survived if it wouldn't have got American help BEFORE USA entered the war openly -because it was forced to enter by a Japanese sneak attack and a declaration of war by Germany and Italy. They don't realize that these childish, destructive and warmongering teenagers who have now called a 'holy war' against neutral, having been inflated in techs and land through their robberies, will at the next school or college vacation period call another 'holy war' against other alliances, no matter what they declare or say, and they will destroy you all one by one, until this game would be just a place for wargames, not for nation building. Years ago I realized that wars increase exponentially in CN during school and college vacations, which says all about those who grow through war and live for war. They are just improductive, non-living-a-real-life kids, with no interest into creating political and economic networks. This is NOT what CyberNations was supposed to be. Converting the Standard Edition progresively into the Tournament Edition will be ruinous for the game owners, who, don't forget it, are not working for our pleasure and amusement, but for REAL CASH. Kids have no real cash, if they have they waste it in beer.

Thank you, GPO! Your announce has given me a slight hope that, after all, CyberNations could not de damned as a political simulation game, and useless but for warmongering, unconstructive, childish players who think that ruling a country is just commanding over barracks.

You mistake "neutrality" with "total pacifism". "Total pacifism saves consciences, but never lives". A nation can pretty well declare its neutrality and renounce to war as a mean of agression and growth, but it has still to be prepared for any defensive war which should be necessary to affirm its principles and interests. If our nation, a neutral and peace loving one, see others attacking and warmongering just because their victims are also neutral minded and peaceful, my nation feels itself directly attacked; because after the agressor would have finished with their victims, our nation and other nations like ours will be on their list of future preys.

I've played this game for about a month and I STILL havent figured out how to raise my enviroment level. Can anyone help me with this lare questions. My nations citisens are slowly leaving my poorly enviromental nation right now. Please help me. [/quote] You have arrived at Cyber Nations at the worst moment concerning environment. The Global Radiation level has been up and up and reached historical records -and still goes on. That means that a lot of nuclear wars are being held on. Until the level goes down to 5.00 or less, the radiation will be too harmful to allow better results on environment. And NOW IT IS AT 65.21 !!! Never seen before, I think. Radiation-cleanup bonus and other measures could help, but just to put your environment level a little better. Be patient, try to increase the peace spirit in the CN World... and keep your powder dry (just in case). Best regards, Sildavo
