I am passing control of my character in the Adil Kasturi case, Omar bin Zemar, over to The New World Oceania.

This is happening because I have no desire to be henpecked by certain members anymore.

Opinion Research Survey Number Eight

This poll was conducted by measuring the number of Senators who voted in the last round of voting. Before any of you pedantics grab at my throat, this is the best way of doing things. There would be no way to measure opinion otherwise.


The question polled was this.

"If an election for the government of Elizia were to be held tomorrow, who would you vote for?"

The results were as such.

National Coalition - 42.3% (11/26)
Liberal Coalition - 42.3% (11/26)
Alternative - 7.7% (2/26)
Elizian Communist Party - 3.8% (1/26)
Independents & Others - 3.8% (1/26)

Turnout was down on last poll.

Ooh, I wonder who holds the balance of power there?

You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

It's a very specific question so it's no surprise no one gave an opinion on it, and I refrained from doing so since I might be biased, so I'll give post-Budget model data in two times: once where the private debt to GDP is 20% (a) and another where it's 40% (b).

(a)
GDP growth (bulats): 0.77%
GDP growth (USD): 0.80%
Core inflation: 0.16%*
Net new jobs: 46,558
Unemployment: 24.55%
Average wage (bulats): 107,100
Average wage growth (bulats): +0.16%
---
Private sector surplus: -5.76%
Public sector surplus: 1.64%
Foreign sector surplus: 4.12%

(b)
GDP growth (bulats): -0.58%
GDP growth (USD): -0.59%
Core inflation: -0.12%*
Net new jobs: -35,140
Unemployment: 25.34%
Average wage (bulats): 106,800
Average wage growth (bulats): -0.12%
---
Private sector surplus: -5.84%
Public sector surplus: 1.66%
Foreign sector surplus: 4.17%

*Core inflation isn't headline inflation, which is usually just an overstatement of headline inflation. Personally I'd add 2.0% to whatever the core inflation figure says to guesstimate CPI - what core inflation showing, really, is the change in GDP per worker.

The economy either grew a bit or shrunk a bit depending on how much debt we're going to say Elizia's non-government sector has.

Any chance you could do each separate party instead of just the coalitions? Makes it easier to figure out how big each party is in relation to their coalition.

Shocking, wouldn't be surprised if you let NWO bend you over and have his way with you aswell.

Shocking that the entire inner circle that runs this stupid shit is in the same channel as him.

Oh please. You have absolutely no moral authority and have made your distaste for me known on a number of occasions.

Stop calling NWO the wrong pronoun. I'm fucking tired of you doing that to her.

That aside, as one of the main characters in that sub-RP, I will also follow Sarian's lead.

We (the admin team) would like to make it clear that we're not going to be accepting any more harassment of NWO, given that this has been a bit of a problem in the last couple of days. You're free to put her on ignore, but there's no need to remind us every day of that. It begins to cross the line into baiting/trolling. Additionally, enough with the continued character attacks. "Revolting woman" and the like are not tolerable. After this point, we will start handing out warnings for this kind of behavior.
