Complaint over the GDP of Eretzora [PROCESSED]
#5

1. In character the region is not empty, far from it. We cannot foresee the future, so nobody knows what kind of countries will fill in the space.
The countries in that area will be on the larger side, with low population densities. It's that low population density that works against you, because I'm inclined to believe that a concentrated population allows for greater economic opportunity, growth, and strength, though perhaps not directly.
Quote:2. Other former USR nations are just as wealthy, with far greater populations.
Severyane: 28k, Saratov: 30k, Kubaniza: 36k; Calgarov: 15k; Nentsia: 17k; Mazaghea: <25k. Kubaniza only got that high because it's ultra-capitalist or something. Your old GDP per capita was more in tune with your "peers". Now you're actually the richest (though just barely).

However, I wish to clarify: a higher population does not mean that nation will have a low GDP per capita (and the inverse, of course). That's not how it works. Though "extreme" populations do have some influence. Your population is determined by the area you inhabit and its population density, while your GDP per capita is based on the image, detail, and history you give your nation (and its economy) in the form.
Quote:3. A nation can realistically build its economy from the bottom to the top. It has been done in real life. Look at Israel as an example, which I've used as inspiration for Eretzora. The only difference? Eretzora is not at war with an entire region.
No one argued otherwise. An economy can be built from scratch (fun fact: the Earth's was). But Israel didn't really build its economy from nothing. It developed it with foreign money. It's modern economy would likely be a lot less strong if it didn't have such an advantage. But I'm sure you could sucker some foreign nation to give you money too.

Quote:4. Kazemura, which is just to the east of Eretzora (aka even more isolated), has a per capita of 40,279.00 with a population of 60 million. So this is fine, but I am supposed to be content with 31K with only 25 million inhabitants? I don't think so. Clearly some double standards there. So no, I don't think considering the region 31 K is rather fair, unless of course it applies to all nations in the region. It never does, though.
Kazemura's GDP per capita is high due to the known information about it's economy: it's highly industrialized, advanced/technological, and has a large service sector. The country is based on Japan.

31k is a fair GDP per capita to give an ex-USR, given the GDP per capita of other states.

There are no double standards and I do not appreciate accusations otherwise. The standard used to determine population and GDP per capita is enforced on all potential nations equally: geography and history. It's not simple inverse correlation. That would be dumb.
Role Play States

Holy Lanlanian Empire
Holy Emperor: Feryn I
Prime Minister: Klaus Lofgren
The Holy Lanlanian Empire is a multi-ethnic state based in western Brigidna with territories all across the globe. It is a relic of an older age, an absolute monarchy hidden under a functioning democracy. The empire has historically been the world's leading power, though has long been in decline and was recently overtaken by the Republic of Nyland. Nonetheless, the empire is not an opponent to take lightly.

Ishnalli Empire
Empress: Lanryu-il
Chancellor: IDEK
The greatest country in the world. It's YUUUUGGGEEEE.
