NSG Senate General Discussion Thread (Former Lobby)

[Kralta]

Countries like Chile, Brazil and Costa Rica are relatively prosperous.

[Dragomerian Islands]

Name me one rich nation in South America or Central America. There are none, they are very very poor (or they have extreme and wide-spread inequality).

Argentina and Chile count as "very very poor"? No, "very very poor" is Afghanistan or the Congo level.

Any nation where I can bring $100 and be considered rich would be considered very very poor.

[Geilinor]

Tell me what about the two continents make how economics work change.

Simple, there are no rich nations south of the US-Mexico border. This means that having a rich nation in that group of poor nations is unrealistic.

Define "rich".

Alright then. Go to Buenos Aires with $100 and see how long you can last. Your ignorance is astounding me and I've never set foot in South America.

I'm sorry, are we talking about total GDP total or per capita? By PPP measures Trinidad and Tobago, Bahamas, Barbados, Chile, Uruguay, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda, Venezuela, Panama, Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil have GDP per capita above 15,000, which is the range we have been thinking of. Nominal wise Trinidad and Tobago, Bahamas, Barbados, Chile and Uruguay also meet the same requirement of per capita above USD 15,000. So it is very well possible to have a GDP per capita around 15K. Total GDP will depend on the population we decide on.

[Maklohi Vai]

Hold on, why are we creating a country? An RP of some sort?

Yes, that's what this RP is. We roleplay a legislature in a fictional nation of our creation, where the names are made up and the money doesn't matter.

Ah, That clears it up. Thanks!

[Ainin]

We're not talking about relative wealth. We are talking about total GDP. It doesn't matter how high your GDP is, if you GDP per capita is very low you qualify as poor.

Sure, I could have 600 trillion GDP, but if my currency has a miniscual exchange rate, that GDP mean nothing but empty numbers.

GDP is calculated in United States dollars.

You keep using vague terms like "rich", "poor", "very"

Unfortunately the coast of Venezuela is so rugged that it would probably take 2 weeks to finish alone, so I've moved onto making a bunch of islands. The main island is turning out quite well so far.

If someone has Inkscape, then they could likely fill in the areas required from a map and then adjust it from there.

Thanks for the effort regardless. And the population, what roughly 20 million? I like that much more.

The area you gave us couldn't even get over 2 million people...

[The State of Deseret]

What's about to happen is that my Party will be nullified because our major language isn't even Spanish and then were gonna choose some english and white thing and my party'll be incompatible.

Actually IRL it has roughly 12 million.

From Venezuela:
Zulia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zulia
Total Pop: 3,704,404 (1st)

Mérida: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A9rida_(state)
Total Pop: 843,800 (14th)

Táchira: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C3%A1chira
Total Pop: 1,177,300 (9th)

Falcón: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falc%C3%B3n
Total Pop: 950,057 (11th)

Trujillo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trujillo_%28state%29
Total Pop: 711,400 (17th)

Lara: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lara,_Venezuela
Total Pop: 1,774,867 (5th)

and the Colombian divisions of:
La Guajira Department: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Guajira_Department
Total Pop: 902,386 (20th)

Cesar Department: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cesar_Department
Total Pop: 1,004,064 (16th)

Magdalena Department: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magdalena_Department
Total Pop: 1,235,425 (14th)


Bringing the total pop of the area to 12,303,703, and the total contribution from Venezuela to around 9 million people, still leaving them with 21 million.

hahaha. Even in the poorest of nations that is noting. Are you serious at what you write? Also what the hell are you studding in life?
GDP is measured in USD all over the world. Some nations for their own internal use publish figures in euros as well as USD.

It was made pretty clear from the start that parties shouldn't explicitly tie themselves to a single location because of the possibility that said location would be rejected by the Senate community.
