Haven't read any of this thread, just wanted to put this here. Read it when I get home.
I brought up the Wikipedia page for Population by country and tried to see what various numbers were comparable to when I decided. I was originally aiming for around 785,000, but that mainly consisted of obscure African countries. 1 millions equates to slightly less obscure African countries. While the concept of a fledgling colony or an abandoned fringe of society was cool, I figured the number of outlaws from other nations who needed a place to crash would be a healthy, but not insane number, so I needed to bump it up a little. There, that's my excuse. Your country's probably full of procreating zealots anyway, so you have nothing to worry about.
COMING SOON: A giant meteor. Please.
Give me +karma. Give me +karma.
- Denmark still has its reservations, and still believes that you may be encouraging the worship, however it has backed off on it's brutal attack on the regime.
- A Chinese agent has apparently infiltrated the top level of the Army, and is preparing an attack on Van Couvenhoven.
- 20 terrorists are apprehended and put inside of industrial correctional facilities. The morality enhancers seem to be doing the job as half have already left the facility, and are now good citizens of Sproutington. The damage has been cleared away and very few people noticed the wreckage.
- The morality enhancers have been purchased and are already being put to good use, despite the intense previous usage at Guantanamo Bay.
- The story of the warning is widely reported in tabloid newspapers, however very little comes of your notice due to the citizens of Technica having extremely low opinions on both your regime and the Theocracy that Stephen Hawking has already denounced.
- The researchers are working hard, importing prototypes from Texas being proposed for usage on schoolchildren. Your science minister is happy with the progress and believes it is almost ready to be put into major usage, however he has concerns about infections from the implants.
Issues
- The Chinese agent is still on the loose in the military.
- A protest group mad up of Technica citizens (but not government affiliated) are dropping fliers from a helicopter into the Randstad province.
- A batch of lab-rats have died after test implants.
- One of the freed terrorists has escaped to the UK and is preparing a speech for the Copenhagen conference about an unknown matter for now.
-Only white skinned, blond haired, blue eyed Dutchmen are allowed near the Minister of Foreign Affairs as long as this hitman is still on the loose. Ban any tourists from the government building and surrounding area. Any Chinese looking person in this area will be asked for their papers and these will be checked on the national database. If there is anyone whose papers don't check out, arrest them and contact China. Meanwhile keep up the relations with China and remind them of our similarities and how a bond between us could benefit us both to get them to call off the assassination.
-Flyering of any non alcoholic events is strictly prohibited in Sproutington. Arrest the members of this group, but as a sign of good faith to Technica deport them back there without trial or punishing them. Just have my ambassador give the Technica government a disappointed headshake.
-That is obvious because the rats are too small for such implants. Take any homeless people, orphans and otherwise unwanted and unmissed members of society and test on them instead.
-Contact O(≧∇≦)O and The head's of Nasa and tell them a convicted terrorist has escaped from Sproutington into their territory. Ask that they arrest him and deliver him back to Sproutington as a sign of our good relations.
-Accept Sniper's offer for him to build an embassy in Sproutington on the condition that a Sproutington embassy also gets build in Technica. Also send a message to Technica that we are pleased with this proposal and hope to build good relations with them.

Mine is 10.5 million because that's the amount of people in Austria and Slovenia.
- He is now 15 point down before the next election, which will take place around the time of the Copenhagen Conference. The mainstream media call it even.
- The people are happy, but not quite happy enough to restore Fischer's reputation. The margin falls to 10 points.
- Diplomat sent. The cameras are recieved with huge suspicion and the media paints it as a breach of privacy and the beginning of the introduction of a police state.

With Jorster's, he's doubling the population. I guess it's just like in comparison... I'd expect a full on European War to have less people than to begin with.

Letter from Bob Dee to Dalia GrybauskaitÄ— about the absorption of Lithuania into Yugland.
All facts + figures are true, look em up if you don't believe me. -_-
Second time writing this as the first time I emailed it to myself (It was very nearly done) but it didn't actually send. I still think my first was better for some reason but meh, not much I can do if I want to meet this deadline anyway.
Spoiler:
To President Dalia GrybauskaitÄ—,
I write to you today to propose that Lithuania is absorbed into our fine nation. As the final Baltic state we feel that you would be a valuable addition to our nation and that we would both benefit greatly. We know that in 2009 your economy took at huge hit, going from a growth in GDP of 8.9% in 2007 to 1.33% in 2010. We know what this is like as our countries had similar drops. We also know that your unemployment rate as of June 2012 is 10.2%. One of the reasons we feel that this deal will benefit your country is the economy, as we pulled Estonia and Latvia out of a similar situation and now they are strongly on the mend. We would do the same for Lithuania and you would quickly see a shrink in unemployment levels with us bringing new industries over to your country and also a growth in GDP.
We would also help you move towards where you are gradually but consistently shifting now, which is a knowledge-based economy with special emphasis on biotechnology. This is an area our nation has interest in, and since all the major biotechnology companies and laser manufacturers of the Baltics are concentrated in Lithuania your country would be a huge benefit. Mechatronics and information technology (IT) are seen as prospective knowledge-based economy directions too, and these are our main industries, so being part of our nation would benefit your industry hugely.
These are the main reasons why we feel that your country should become a part of our fine nation, and we would greatly value the addition of your country should you accept. We see a bright future for Yugland and hope you can join us.
