Rebel Virginia Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Well, I personally export the RL resources of my country, with the exception of uranium, which I also export in small amounts. I don't see any issue with a mix, so long as you decide to either have RL or IG resources be your main export. I personally use RL resources as my main resources since coal is not an IG resource of my, and seeing that I have both West Virginia and Pennsylvania, it would make absolutely no sense for me to not export coal.

Il Terra Di Agea Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 New topic: Are IG resources the ones used for our RP nations? Discuss. My opinion: If you stay reasonable (Like you don't say "I'm the greatest producer of Oil EVAH!" when your nation is in Ireland or something) then no.

Cody Seb Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Your main resources should be your tradeable resources, while you have access to your other resources for your own use. You should also be able to export your bonus resources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeVentNoir Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Generally, with enough effort you can farm anything anywhere, but there is no way you can claim to be 'the' producer of something. Stay reasonable, accept that closed economies are poor, and pretty much every nation needs the same resources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Andres Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 our IG resources are Aluminum and Wheat, ans as such we roleplay these as being the two most vital resources to our economy. We obviously export other stuff as well but these are our primary. and as such considering our economic strength we could be considered one of the world's biggest, if not the biggest exporter of Aluminum, Wheat, and it could be inferred, Beer as well.

I don't even have the stuff to keep the fish alive. I have piles of dead fish in my piles of mysteriously fish smelling grain. Who wants fish toast!

Rebel Virginia Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 That's not the point.WATER? What kind of a resource is water? Water is actually a necessity. You'd be surprised. Most of the world doesn't have easy access to clean access. In fact, it is predicted that a lot of wars will be fought over access to drinkable water in the future, mainly in the third world. In fact, the recent thing in Gaza is over water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranather Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Personally, I go and take my resources (Aluminum, Sugar) and spin it into 'Franzharia's top industries in Metalworking and Sugar/Sugar Byproduct Production' I used RP Cane Sugar, but now I RP Beet for obvious reasons.

I mean yeah its a weapons conference but damn..O.o.. facepalms.. Oh well.. this ought to be interesting. Unless I'm mistaken, the Neo Olympian (Vasili) guys brought weapons, possibly loaded, and unless they take the ammunition from their own weapons, they must have the ammunition somewhere, right? I remember saying it had a few bugs, the safety not working could be one of those bugs, you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
