Yeah, I don't think the Persian Navy is going to be a major factor in this conflict, unless they can pull off a victory over the Dutch and Ottoman Gulf fleets before everybody else gets there.

What is your opinion on the quality of Persian and Ottoman troops vs German and Dutch?

No idea, but I'd expect Western European troops to be much better trained, organized, and equipped.

[Suekiva]

I've looked through a lot of the pre and early WWI bombers and almost all have a range of 400 km or less. Since the Iraq-Persian border in this RP seems to be farther along than IRL, Kosovo's planes aren't even going to reach Persia from his airfield, let alone the Gulf or Persian ports.

If we could get a far more active France and Britain that'd be greaaatt

If anybody else on the British Isles were to come back, that'd be nice too.

I think the RP needs to be purged of inactive members

Hey got a Q. If your in a defensive pact does that mean if one person gets invaded the other helps?

Depends on the terms of said pact.

But often, yes.

I asked Germany to join his club so I could have more friends.

You've got Persia pal

Also can we come up with a formula to determine economic health status pls

If he doesn't accept you, you can try and be an observer for the Northern Kingdoms Treaty. That's where me and Finland become best friends.

What would this formula contain? Stuff like resources and working population?

Yes and things like GDP and military size and resource demand compared to supply and inflation rate and populations size and working population and stuff

Do you want to make the formula, or shall someone else? I wouldn't really know where to start with it.

I guess I could put my own and then you guys could critique and fix it because I'm certainly no economist

Good luck with it then.

Really you need to ask. And Germany is allied with the Ottomans. We are sending them military advisors and also equipment including aircraft designs.

Also my post will have to come up after my shift. Sorry guys. What with school starting next month my schedule is really getting swamped.

So I'm working on the Economic formula and a lot of things will be scaled, like say resource demand is relatively high, then it'd be an 7 or 8. The highest would be 10.

It's probably best to do it that way, instead of working with ridiculously high numbers.

So I had a formula and ended with a pretty high final number, like 255,000 I think we need to come up with categories.

All of my model numbers were taken from the top economies of the world so I think if you end with a number that 250k+ then it's safe to say you have a top economy, 200k-250k you're a very strong economy, 150k-200k you're a strong economy, 100k-150k you're an okay economy/not too bad but not that good either, 50k-100k poor economy, 50k- failing/collapsed/downtrodden economy

The economies in 1900 would be very different to nowadays. You could probably divide each of those numbers by 10,000 and just have a ranking of 1 to 25.

Fair enough, so here's the formula I came up with.

(POP-WPOP/M)
{[(GDP+YGR)•ITa]/CoL)}•I (RD/RS)


GDP - Gross Domestic Product
M - Military
RD - Resource Demand
RS - Resource Supply
I - Inflation
POP - Population
WPOP - Working Population
CoL- Cost of Living
Ta - National Tax Rate
YGR - Yearly Growth Rate
