Oh, so that's how you use the percent button a calculator. I actually never knew that :oops:. I don't think that's a thing in mathematical notation though, is it?

It is, but it's rarely used. It's hugely important in business though.

I'm not sure, maybe conventions are different where I live. Welp, now I fully know how to operate a basic calculator.

I'm happy to have played a part in your education. Can you admit that GDP plus YGR was right?

I still don't believe that it's legitimate notation, but it makes sense now.

It works out well enough though. The bigger your military is as a percentage of your pop, the worse off your economy will be.

True. I suppose if all your nowworking pop is part of the military, your economy would still be worse off.

This way you're better off with no working population.

Alright I'm back online. And before I got off my shift, my boss gave me a raise. So I am feeling extremely happy and this will help me make an excellent post!
Proud advocate that Europe stands stronger together than divided. The EU may be flawed in some areas but the idea of a united Europa can only bring good fortune to Europe and the world. For more than two thousand years, Europe was home to conflicts inspired by coveting one another's territory and resources, even making the continent the home to some of the world's most destructive and costly conflicts. But the idea was all wrong in their minds. Their idea was to bring this territory or that under their flag and spread influence on the continent. The idea they should all have been thinking was that the goal should be to bring the continent under one unified flag.

The thing is, if you have no military, it gives you an insanely high score.

That would make sense, because you're not spending money on any military.
