How to Calculate Fuel Oil Production and Price Per Barrel

Postby Independence Hill » Wed Feb 23, 2022 1:50 pm

Number of Barrels of Fuel Oil Produced in One NS Year (one Earth Day)

(Mining+ Scientific Advancement + Automobile manufacturing + Agriculture) - (Environmental beauty) x Economic Productivity Score --------------------------------

((1,273.49 + 345.72 + 1872.96 + 1028.84) - 863.5 = 3,657.51

3,657.51 * 35,000 = 128,012,850 Barrels/NS year

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Price of Fuel Oil per Barrel.

Square root of Number of Barrels produced / classification score (for every 250,000,000 barrels produced, add 100 to your classification score)

√(128,012,850) / 85 =

[]133.11 per barrel ($576.37/barrel of fuel oil)

For every 250,000,000 barrels produced, add 100 to your classification score.
Example: √(1,000,000,000) / 485 = []65.20/barrel

The larger the supply, the lower the price per barrel

(Sorry, I messed up the initial posting, but these are the final edit of these equations. Thank you for your patience.)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cost of a Gallon of Gas: √(Price of Oil per barrel + total yearly oil output * EPR / 404,000,000,000)

If price per barrel is less than 50, move the decimal of your answer one space to the left

Cost of a Gallon of Diesel, Jet Fuel, Liquid Petroleum Gases, and Heavy Fuel Oil: √(Price of Oil per barrel + total gallons of the category you're calculating for * EPR / 404,000,000,000)

If the total supply of Diesel, Jet Fuel, Liquid Petroleum Gases, and Heavy Fuel Oil exceeds 1 billion gallons, move the decimal of your answer to calculating gas and other fuels two places to the left.


Economic Productivity, Classification, Unemployment Score, Rent Multiplier, & Credit Score: (Productivity / Classification / *Unemployment Score / Rent Multiplier/ Credit Score)

Frightening = 50,000 / 100 / +2 / (x1.75) / x5

All-Consuming = 45,000 / 95 / +2.50 / (x1.50) / x4.75

Powerhouse = 40,000 / 90 / +3.00 / (x1.25) / x4.50

Thriving = 35,000 / 85 / +3.50 / NA / x4.25

Very Strong = 30,000 / 80 / +4.00/ NA / x4.00

Strong = 25,000 / 75 / +4.50/ NA / x3.75

Good = 20,000 / 70 / +5.00 / NA / x3.50

Fair = 15,000 / 65 / +6.00 / NA / x3.25

Reasonable = 10,000 / 60 / +7.00 / NA / x3.00

Developing = 5,000 / 55 / +8.00 / NA / x2.75

Struggling = 3,000 / 50 / +9.00 / NA / x1.25

Weak = 1,000 / 45 / +10.00 / NA / x.75

Fragile = 500 / 40 / +12.00 / NA / x.25

Basket Case = 250 / 35 / +14.00 / NA / x0.075

Imploded = 100 / 30 / +16.00 / NA / x0

(*Lower Unemployment Scores Are Better)

NS stats are canon. We are not a copy of the United States of America, just a nation with American elements. The large star in the middle of our flag is to symbolize the executive nation as a uniting force while the crown above is to symbolize that this executive nation also has central banking powers. We are still a democratic republic, with a president, two houses of congress, and a judicial branch.

My storefront is called New American Oil & Gas. We're listed on the economic forum. We update supply and pricing daily. Please go to that thread to place an order.

I have a version of it for the welfare and happiness level in my mind, the process in my mind is very simple:

( Welfare + Civil Rights + Political Freedom + Public Healthcare + Lifespan + Safety + Human Development Index = Reasons for happiness in the country)

( Crime + Death Rate + Youth Rebelliousness + Authoritarianism = Reasons for unhappines in the country)

Let's assume that unhappiness is negative values. If the total value of happiness is more than the sum of the values of unhappiness, we subtract the level of unhappiness from happiness. In the same transaction, if the value of unhappiness is high, we subtract it from happiness.

I like this a lot and, with your permission, I'd like to use this to create a happiness index (0-100 scoring). What do you think?

I'll give you 100% of the credit since this metric was your idea. Functional art at its finest.

Thanks! I will try to create other calculations for NS

You're very welcome. I'm glad I've inspired you and I hope that this inspires others. We all can be a part of this.

Let's assume that unhappiness is negative values. If the total value of happiness is more than the sum of the values of unhappiness, we subtract the level of unhappiness from happiness. In the same transaction, if the value of unhappiness is high, we subtract it from happiness.




I worked out the math from your idea. Here's what I found- After adding to get the answers for both reasons for happiness and reasons for unhappiness, I got 4488.66 for my regional nation in reasons for happiness and 729.19 in reasons for unhappiness. I subtracted RFUNH from RFH and came to 3759.47. In order to get a 0-100 answer, I applied a square root to the equation to get a percentage √(3759.47) = 61.314517041235838148244775802538

and subtracted an economic misery score seen in the updated chart below

√(3759.47) = 61.314517041235838148244775802538 - 20

41.31%

If the approval rating or happiness index goes below zero, the answer is 0%, so the metric only reads 1-100

Frightening = 50,000 / 100 / +2 / (x1.75) / x5 / -5

All-Consuming = 45,000 / 95 / +2.50 / (x1.50) / x4.75 / -10

Powerhouse = 40,000 / 90 / +3.00 / (x1.25) / x4.50 / -12

Thriving = 35,000 / 85 / +3.50 / NA / x4.25 / -15

Very Strong = 30,000 / 80 / +4.00/ NA / x4.00 / -18

Strong = 25,000 / 75 / +4.50/ NA / x3.75 / -20

Good = 20,000 / 70 / +5.00 / NA / x3.50 / -23

Fair = 15,000 / 65 / +6.00 / NA / x3.25 / -27

Reasonable = 10,000 / 60 / +7.00 / NA / x3.00 / -34

Developing = 5,000 / 55 / +8.00 / NA / x2.75 / -40

Struggling = 3,000 / 50 / +9.00 / NA / x1.25 / -45

Weak = 1,000 / 45 / +10.00 / NA / x.75 / -50

Fragile = 500 / 40 / +12.00 / NA / x.25 / -60

Basket Case = 250 / 35 / +14.00 / NA / x0.075 / -75

Imploded = 100 / 30 / +16.00 / NA / x0 / -85

Even if the percentage you get exceeds 100, the scoring percentage that I will include in my economic reports will not read more than 100%. All the negative numbers will tell you is how long it will take you to break even and get that rating up. Same thing with numbers over 100- that tells you how much stress your nation can withhold before dropping below 100. At some point, your nation will become so big that it would require a bit of work to bring the number down. This equation is just a work in progress and when it's finished, I'll add your nation in quotations and inform those who see it that this metric was your idea.

Because NationStates is issue-based, it is political roleplay. Would you disagree if I called it an approval rating instead of the happiness index?
