Riiiiiiight so due to a lack of Arkolons superior knowledge and judgement I've decided to produce some bullshit national debt figures. So like, based on Serbia post wars during the dissolution of Yugoslavia maybe national debt should be like 212% ish? Right, so we can't sell bonds to raise debt anymore lmao, but charged like 12% in bond yields ish maybe on it overallbecause Greek debt is something like that at some time maybe. Maybe it should be higher? Sod it, let's say 19% because lol. Thoughts? His will be jokes, shall we hit up the imf for some money rofl

I think that might be too high, Elizia was partially unfunded because we were so poor we couldn't do too much.

Don't get the wrong, we should definitely have debt that we racked up during the war and stuff, but it shouldn't be so high as to tie our hands rp wise.

I was hoping like yeah Fiscal bdsm, it'd be great, like Osborne but actually with appropriate yields and shit and I'd be like the weird sexy austere figurehead, like, a a Stafford cripps but ripped and Indian.

Hey guys,
I just wanted to give you a heads-up that I may not be as active for the next month. I have some IRL things going on. I'll check in when I can, which may be quite often and may be not very often. This is my most active RP, so I thought I just let you guys know.

And if we're talking about our differences in our parties, I'm probably the most pacifist member of the RGA (and maybe of the RP). We had a debate on the IRC and no one agreed with me... : _ (
