Gross domestic product (GDP) refers to the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period. Meaning, its more or less how much your nation is worth. A GDP per Capita is how much each citizen is worth.


I see. So how does that role into the economy and affect my peoples happiness when I go to war? Also, when I invade other nation-states (heh, coincidence?) will my GDP grow from gaining more land and will my population grow?

The higher your GDP per Capita, the better your economy. The GDP nominal represents the total GDP per Capita of every citizen, but you only really need to pay attention to your GDPpC. The higher your GDPpC, the more it can take when you go to war. Modern wars always affect GDP's negatively at first, as you are throwing money at something without gaining anything. But, if you win and annex the target, you will slowly recover and, assuming the annexed area is profitable, your GDP will grow due to the fact that you get more resources/services/sales out of the territory.

What is DGcP?


Another question -- I've never RP'd a war before, so are we going to be able to use maps? Ex.

I invade Philadelphia, I use arrows to show my advance accross the Delaware and into the city.

GDPpC, do you mean? Its short hand for "Gross Domestic Product per Capita", or "GDP per Capita".

Yes, but its preferred that you type out a well-written explanation of your troop movements.

No, you did it right, just note to note how many points you used in your army, navy and air force in military tech and effectiveness.

Since Idaho is a land-locked state, I don't think you really have purpose for a Navy. Perhaps you should invest it into upgrading your Airforce/Army.

Did you see my ap(p) in a spoiler on last page for Puerto Rico?
I'll respond to a lot of titles, but I preferred to go by Forest.

Unless stated otherwise, I have disowned all of the posts, both in and out of character, that I made years ago. I would like to think that both my real, out-of-character behavior and my in-character role-playing skills have matured.
