Information:

Founded in March of 2007, A World Power was once one of the largest regions in Nationstates, and is currently re-building to its former glory! We as a region hold no specific political ideology, but nations organise themselves into Great Houses of likeminded individuals. The leaders of the three largest Houses form a Triumvirate which is responsible for leading the region. We believe in open elections for all citizens of our region and operate a one of the major defender forces in the game, which protects regions across Nationstates from invasion.

Welcome to A World Power!

Our forum acts as the hub of our community, and is where our Government, Citizens Assembly, and Regional Defence Force are coordinated. But it's not all serious business! The legendary Rucket Park is full of polls, spam games and nonsense chat, our Role Playing Pavilion is the place for all your roleplaying needs, and the A World Power Center is where we get to know each other.

Resources Idea Formalised

Resources

Fish/meat animals – Feeds populace

Wheat and other cereal crops – feeds populace (also allows production of alcohol, which increase production by 2% on base, with a % chance of decreasing production by 10%)

Diamonds – needed for certain techs

Gold – Creates an affluent class of citizen which results in a 5% increase in base production (Silver and marble is also required)

Silver - Creates an affluent class of citizen which results in a 5% increase in base production (Gold and marble is also required)

Lumber – When combined with Iron, coal allows for the production of buildings (though it can produce low level facilities itself). By itself allows the production of light planes that can carry 10 units max.

Oil – source of energy (required for automobiles)

Coal – Source of energy, required for construction with Iron and lumber.

Gas – Source of energy

Iron – Required for advanced construction with coal and lumber.

Copper – required for most electronic technologies

Marble - Creates an affluent class of citizen which results in a 5% increase in base production due to formation of large companies and increase in investment (Gold and Silver is also required)

Titanium - With Aluminium allows for the production of advanced planes which allows for large volumes of trade with other countries if you don’t have a port.

Aluminium – Increases Alcohols effect to 5% but also increases chance of 10% decrease (able to drink on the job now ). With Titanium allows for the production of advanced planes which allows for large volumes of trade with other countries if you don’t have a port.

Uranium – Allows nuclear power also required for nukes (If used results in a decrease in production of food and lumber as it has negative environment effects)

Silicon – required for all electronic technologies

Technologies

Woodcutting:

Electric Saw’s – Results in a 5% production increase (requires source of power and copper)

Automated Selective harvesting – Results in a 2% production decrease (can change to increase) but means lumber becomes a renewable resource (requires silicon and copper as well as power source).

New wood types – Results in a 5% production increase

Mining:

Diamond tipped drills – results in a 5% production increase (requires diamond)

Automated sorter – results in a 5% production increase (requires power, copper and silicon)

Stress fault mapping – results in a 10% production increase (requires power, copper and silicon or a payment for each mining operation to the National Survey bureau)

Agriculture:

Selective breeding – Crops and heard animals only, results in a 5% production increase

Sonar devices – Fishing only, results in 5% production increase

New types of Fertiliser – Crops only, 5% production increase

New net types – Fishing only, 2% production increase

Manufacturing:

Production line method – Results in a 10% increase in production (requires an affluent pop).

JIT delivery – Results in a 2% production increase (requires automobiles).

Plastics – Results in a 5% production increase (requires oil)


Comments

I was thinking that the technologies could be delivered by a national research institute, not only would this allow us to control when they are released (if at all) it would also provide a source of revenue for the Regional Reserve through a one off licence payment. The manufacturing sector would be required to produce buildings and products (so you would need one to have an affluent population). I haven’t included any military stuff in here yet but I have some ideas I can pop in for that if we agree with the layout here.

For the facility levels I was thinking:

Level 1: Manual labour- produces 50 - 100 units

Level 2: Mechanised production – produces 100 - 200 units

Level 3: Automated production – produces 200 – 400 units

Level 1 would require lumber (which everyone will have), level 2 would require iron and coal for steel and level 3 would require power, copper and silicon. Facilities can be upgraded once the original has been bought.

This is the basic idea, obviously we will be relying on the members and leadership of the survey corps to expand on it (technologies are to be released over time). Also a percentage find chance is to be assinged to each resource to reflect rairty. Each resource will also be assinged to a section based on where it occurs/how easy it is too spot.

Find Chances

Fish/meat animals and ceral crops 100% (fish obviously need to be on a water square and vice versa) green squares will be more productive than brown or white squares (about twice as productive).

Lumber - (low quality) 90%, (high quality) 60% most land will be forested till it is cleared.

Aluminuim (actually bauxaite), Copper, Coal, Silver and Iron - 50%

Oil, Gas, Gold, Marble and Silicon - 35%

Diamonds, Titanium, Uranium - 20%

A resources is found when by using a random number generator with a range of 1-100 a number of that percentage or lower appears. We will use this one http://www.random.org/ (just use the widget at the side with the min as 1 and max as 100).

The above values are for a survey team, for a qualified surveyor decrease all values (apart from agriculture stuff) by 10% and by 20% for a simple survey.
