Carbon Output Index (CLOSED FOR THE TIME BEING)

[The Drone Empire]

Hippostania has received the
Great Nepal has received the[b] Polluted Wasteland grade and pollutes 11 050 000 thousands of metric tons of carbon annually.

Government has taken this extremely seriously and expresses it extreme disappointment that Greater Nepal failed to usurp title of most polluting nation from Tyresia. We are looking to start dumping waste directly into international seas rather than distant island to correct this.

Ahaha.

How quaint of you.

Perhaps we could help with these efforts.

[Umbra Ac Silentium]

Residential Output

This is the output of the residents within your nation, and covers topics like individual recycling, how efficient are they with lighting and do they buy disposable or reusable products in stores.

What is the population of your nation?
The current census indicates the population to be 4,994,000,000 (2012 est.). This population is steadily increasing over time.
Where do most people live in your nation? (Skyscrapers, hi-rises and etc)
Most people live within Skyscrapers in our nation. Any other form of land use is simply unfeasible. We have very high density cities, with populations ranging in the hundred millions to the multi-millions.
Where do most people put their trash? (Compost, recycling, garbage bags and etc)
Most garbage is either recycled or used for energy. We do make some attempt to supplement the consumption of our nation to prevent scarcity. Whatever cannot be recycled though, is burned for energy. Large plants will burn the trash, producing a fairly large quantity of smog. Organic trash is typically used as either compost or bio-mass energy.
Do most people use disposable or long-lasting products?
That depends what is being discussed. Electronics have an incredibly disposable life-cycle. We strive for ever advancing technology, so within a few months, products on the shelves may be obsolete already. Most people replace their electronics fairly regularly. Products like furniture are usually quite durable. As a whole though, most things are disposable.
How many cars per person; what is the most common fuel source for a car?
There are about 0.18 cars per person in our nation. Manufactured cars are typically sent over seas, so this number is very unrepresentative of the realities of our automobile manufacturing sector. Umbra Ac Silentium produces ten billion cars annually (2012 est.). For domestic cars, they tend to be a nuclear-solar power fusion. Some cars will be just one or the other. Umbra Ac Silentium tends to avoid using fossil fuels as an energy source. Cars shipped over seas are either nuclear powered or oil powered.
What type of lighting does an average person use; and how long a day do they use it for? Typically, either LED lights or Fluorescent lamps are used. Skyscrapers have lights running 24/7. We have a vibrant nightlife, so the cities never shut down.
What is most commonly used to heat a home? Electric heaters are almost exclusively used.
How efficient (energy-conserving) are your people with everyday tasks; what are some things your people do that is efficient? When it comes to manufacturing, we're quite efficient, but not in the energy conserving sense. We don't have very much environmental-efficiency.
Do your people emphasize needs or wants more? Wants, of course. Good heavens, we'd be a terrible industrial society if everyone was starving and still stuck in a subsistence economy.
How much water do your people use on an average day? 2,822 meters cubed per year per capita
Do your people actively help environmental causes like planting forests? The only time we plant forests is when we finished bulldozing the one that used to be there. A few years down the line it gets chopped up for timber all over.

Government/Corporate Output

This is the output directly or indirectly caused by the government and corporations. It covers direct carbon topics like power, carbon offsets, banning diesel vehicles and indirect ones like fuel taxes, carbon credits and making corporations liable for their outputs economically.

Largest producer of energy? (Solar, Coal and etc)
Thorium energy, followed by other forms of nuclear energy, and then solar. Hydro electricity, wind energy, geothermal energy, etc. all make up a marginal amount of energy output.
Does your nation utilize carbon capture and storing or direct air capture?
Yes, we do.
The air above our factories and cities holds copious quantities of carbon (and other pollutants)!
Does your government encourage carpooling, bicycling or public transit?
Well, other than the national monorail service, it doesn't. Most people do take some form of public transport, however. Trains, buses, subways, and much more are the norm.
How strictly does your government regulate industrial pollution/waste?
It doesn't, really. We just make sure it doesn't get into the water we drink, but otherwise nothing is done. Released into the domestic environment/ocean. That is, if it can't be recycled or burned for energy.
How does your government dispose of it's waste/garbage?
Same way as everyone else.
Does your government preserve forests; If so, what percent?
No, it encourages the destruction of them. It's good for the health of our economy to increase timber production.
How frequently is air travel used; what fuel do most of your planes use?
Air travel is used somewhat frequently. It's almost exclusively used for travel to other nations.
Does your government utilize carbon credits; do they apply to corporations?
No, the government does not.
Does your nation use ocean fertilization, bio-charcoal or enhanced weathering to mitigate carbon?
No, we do ocean fertilization to encourage oxygen output, but otherwise nothing. We have to breathe somehow!
Internationally, how active is your nation in environmental talks?
We make snide comments about them but little else.
Has your government made reforestation or afforestation attempts?
No, reforestation is typically done by private companies to ensure long-term timber production.
How safely is hazardous material disposed of?
However the company decides to. Usually dumped into the Eternal forests on the borders of our nation. Nobody lives out there (yet!).
On a scale of 1-10 (1 is least polluted, 10 is toxic,) how polluted are your nation's water supplies? 1 We have an intensive water purification system set up. We need to drink clean water, you know! Typically, rivers have concrete and steel covers, as well as miles of purifiers.
Have any fuel taxes or similar laws been enacted; if so, state all of them.
N/A
How much mining is done by your nation?
So, so very much. We produce millions of tons of mined goods every months. Mines are huge and encompass almost 30% (29.94) of the total land use outside of the cities.
How strictly does your government regulate corporate pollution/waste?
Not strictly at all. Pollution is pollution. It usually ends up in the air somehow.
How much land is devoted to commercial use (%); how much land is devoted to urban/residential use (%); how much for industrial use(%)?
Commercial use: 23%
Urban use: 44%
Industrial use: 33%

Some additional notes
We are a huge industrial nation. Gas masks are a necessity to leave one's home. Virtually all buildings are equipped with an extensive air purification system. The air, especially the air concentrated around cities, is incredibly toxic. There are no natural forests left within our national borders. All of them are privately owned timber fields.

What is most commonly used to heat a home? Crystal power, nuclear fusion, and antimatter combined.
How efficient (energy-conserving) are your people with everyday tasks; what are some things your people do that is efficient? We do nothing efficient. We consider it a waste of time and energy.
Do your people emphasize needs or wants more? No, and if they do, it is ignored.
How much water do your people use on an average day? Most likely billions or trillions of gallons.
Do your people actively help environmental causes like planting forests? What forests? Almost all of the land is covered with something, whether it be a factory or a skyscraper, or something else.

Government/Corporate Output

This is the output directly or indirectly caused by the government and corporations. It covers direct carbon topics like power, carbon offsets, banning diesel vehicles and indirect ones like fuel taxes, carbon credits and making corporations liable for their outputs economically.

Largest producer of energy? (Solar, Coal and etc) Crystal power and antimatter power. (They are both tied)
Does your nation utilize carbon capture and storing or direct air capture? Any emissions are sent directly into the atmosphere. There is no use containing them.
Does your government encourage carpooling, bicycling or public transit? No. It is often discouraged.
How strictly does your government regulate industrial pollution/waste? We don't regulate it at all. What's the use? It effects productivity.
How does your government dispose of it's waste/garbage? Most factories incinerate the waste, while some dump it.
Does your government preserve forests; If so, what percent? No. Forests are cut down and the wood and wildlife is incinerated in the power plants.
How frequently is air travel used; what fuel do most of your planes use?
Does your government utilize carbon credits; do they apply to corporations? No. We have never heard of such nonsense.
Does your nation use ocean fertilization, bio-charcoal or enhanced weathering to mitigate carbon? We use them all. Depends on what the factory wants.
Internationally, how active is your nation in environmental talks? We aren't active at all, seeing as we are the ones destroying the environment.
Has your government made reforestation or afforestation attempts? No.
How safely is hazardous material disposed of? It's either incinerated, dumped into a nearby star, or sent into the atmosphere or space.
On a scale of 1-10 (1 is least polluted, 10 is toxic,) how polluted are your nation's water supplies? About a 4. We have huge water-filtration facilities, but due to the speed at
Have any fuel taxes or similar laws been enacted; if so, state all of them. No. we have no fuel taxes.
How much mining is done by your nation? Mining is often done by huge mining drones and ships. The ships are very large, and can be the maximum size of a small moon. We mine entire planets. In order the do this, the mining ships unleash billions of drones onto the planet. The drones begin quickly stripping the surface of all valuable materials, of all forests, and tubes are shot down from the ships which suck up all the water. Within a few days, we can strip an entire planet of all it's resources and make it a barren wasteland. Afterwards, the drones then begin carving up the inside of the planet, stripping it of valuable minerals. When it get's to small to be mined, we blow up the planet. We can also strip an asteroid or a small moon of it's minerals in just a few hours with enough supplies. Also, anything usable on the planet or asteroid get's sucked up. If there are living beings on the planet, they get wiped out via a huge planetary bombardment involving gamma ray cannons, plasma cannons, and ion cannons.
How strictly does your government regulate corporate pollution/waste? It's not regulated at all. We let them put out as much waste as they want. We encourage them to have more waste, as it increases productivity. In fact, if a factory doesn't have enough waste, we either shut it down or turn over the management to someone else, because we figure if it doesn't have any waste, then there is no productivity.
How much land is devoted to commercial use (%); how much land is devoted to urban/residential use (%); how much for industrial use(%)? 18% commercial, 50% Industrial, 32% Residential.

OOC: Second most polluting out of the real nations~ Woohooo~ :D

We thank you for your effort and dedication put forth into this report.

[Syleru]

You're quite welcome. Though we assure that you put more effort into creating a sustainable environment. We predict a swift and catastrophic collapse of your nation within the next forty years.

[Ulvena]

Actually, that was a typo. It should have been 145 million.

What was the original population?

I said 145,000. It's supposed to be 145,000,000.

[Syleru]

What was the original population?

I said 145,000. It's supposed to be 145,000,000.

I think I read it as 145 million in the first place... so it doesn't really affect it...

Negative Net Carbon Emissions (-1 000 000 to -1 thousands of metric tons of carbon annually)

Nations who have received this grade by the SCOI graders here in Syrania, the capital of Syleru, you are an environmental milestone. Your extreme devotion to the environment, and your efforts in capturing and storing carbon away from the atmosphere is offsetting the outputs of much dirtier nations abroad. Ecologically-friendly power sources are found in a plethora of locations, forests are preserved and planted in areas never previously forested and smog has never occurred in your nation for ages. Your people breathe clean air and tourists from all around gawk at a spectacle of species that live in cohesion with your environmental sanctity. Your water is filled with fish, aquatic plants and a variety of new species reintegrated into your nation's water due to it's pristine quality. You mine sustainably and will be one of the last, truly stable and prosperous nations on Earth, extending far after polluted empires have come and gone. Everything is recycled and made with exceptional quality and landfills are nearly empty, perhaps other nations will regard yours as a mentor to prevent humanity from collapsing upon itself. Overall, stupendous work.

Aazeronia - (-1400tmt)
Ulvena - (-3500tmt)
Zeatly - (-10 500)
Cruciland - (-40 500tmt)

You forgot to add commas. I kept wondering for hours what the scores were before I realized I had the best score. If I was reading this right, it says...

Aazeronia - (-1,400tmt)
Ulvena - (-3,500tmt)
Zeatly - (-10,500)
Cruciland - (-40,500tmt)

...mind making sure to fix everything?

[The Orson Empire]

Government has taken this extremely seriously and expresses it extreme disappointment that Greater Nepal failed to usurp title of most polluting nation from Tyresia. We are looking to start dumping waste directly into international seas rather than distant island to correct this.

Again, we're quite confused WHY? And actually, Radiatia pollutes the most.

Well actually isn't it me now, since my pollution levels are off the charts?

[Syleru]

Commas? Silly American, we Canadians no further use those dastardly little tails to separate large numbers. Get used to it.

[Umbra Ac Silentium]

Again, we're quite confused WHY? And actually, Radiatia pollutes the most.

Well actually isn't it me now, since my pollution levels are off the charts?

Nobody gives serious attention to universe spanning empires :3

I'm talking about Earthbound nations.

Ahh, yeah I understand.

[Syleru]

I'm talking about Earthbound nations.

Ahh, yeah I understand.

But yeah, the main reason the Drone Empire isn't as polluting as the Orson Empire is that the Drone Empire is Type 3.5 (Multi-Galactic Empire) while the Orson Empire is Type 5 (Multiversal Empire.)

[The Orson Empire]

Ahh, yeah I understand.

Ahh, yeah I understand.

But yeah, the main reason the Drone Empire isn't as polluting as the Orson Empire is that the Drone Empire is Type 3.5 (Multi-Galactic Empire) while the Orson Empire is Type 5 (Multiversal Empire.)

Where did I say that?

We utilize various Universes for travel, have colonized over 3,000 Universes for resource purposes, and have discovered a total of 9,000 universes... approximately, anyway.
