Helping Canada and its allies
•
by ligtreb
I love Canada, and have proudly fought for your country many times, especially during the invasion last year. I later served in your Congress as part of our Brolliance exchange, and was positively influenced so much that I brought some Canadian ideas to my country.
Jacobi is one of the citizens I respect most in this game, as I know he led Canada through tough times. However, I must respectfully disagree with his most recent article, in which he says Canada should keep its monopoly on titanium.
Renting one of your titanium regions will not only help Canada, but help EDEN and the Brolliance as well.
Yes, as Jacobi says, Canada is the only source of titanium for EDEN right now. However, renting one of your regions will not hurt your economic power at all. Canadian businesses will still be able to make a fortune off of the scarce resource of titanium, and the government will still get plenty of CAD and Gold from this.
If Canada keeps both titanium regions, you will be missing out on hundreds of gold per week and thousands per month -- an amount which can make Canada an even bigger military power and a much stronger fighting force than it already is. Renting a region or not, Canada's strongest industry will still be titanium harvesting. There is no limit to the number of companies you can have in a region. Canada would not lose any jobs at all by renting out a region, meaning Canada wouldn't lose any money.
Also, consider this is a global game, every country needs strong allies.
Renting a titanium region to an ally will make EDEN and the Brolliance stronger, as the country Canada rents to will get an economic boost, leading to a stronger military. Canada's defense will get stronger with a stronger ally.
No jobs lost, a revenue gain, stronger defense -- what's not to like?
EDEN/Brolliance would get double the titanium by renting -- Canada wouldn't be able to get more jobs by not renting, and would not be able to produce more titanium.
I respect Canada as a bro, and will stand by Canada regardless of which decision Canada makes. I just hope they make the right choice.
Note that this is my view only, not the view of the USA government. While I'm the former Vice President, I have no role in the current administration. Also, I'm not saying Canada has to rent to the USA, Canada should rent to whichever ally gives them the best deal.
Thank you for reading.
P.S. -- I used to be a big Montreal Expos fan when they were a team. Youppi! is the best mascot ever. I fell in love with the 2003 Expos team that stayed in contention most of the year. It still saddens me what MLB did to the Expos.

Sound arguments. Love our eCanada bros and respect their decision either way, but renting tits would be a win-win.
Canada is a pretty cool place and doesn't afraid of anything. Important thing is we have the closest relationship of any two countries in the game :>
What we did for you, we would do 1000 times over. I know you guys would do the same 😁
Kisses,
A bro
Voted for great truth!

Yes. Yes! YES!

Voted for logic
You can touch my Nunavut
We would die for Canada.
And if we had Titanium, we'd give it away to Canada for free 🙂
I will respect whatever you choose Canada, but I hope you choose us 🙂
Quoting Jacobi: "
>The benefit of having two regions is that we don't have competition for our goods on foreign markets, including the US."
This is *explicitly* saying that Canada intends to create an artificial supply shortfall. Lowered competition and higher prices translate to higher prices for weapons for all of EDEN/Broliance. The result is that all of EDEN/Broliance will be nessicarilly forced to use lower quality weapons than they could afford to if there were greater supply.
Ligtreb DOESNT support a monopoly?

I've been trying to talk sense into my country folk for 15 months now. Hopefully they listen to you.
In the game of Monopoly, you would keep both Boardwalk and Park Place because its an all vs. all game.
What happens when you throw allies in? You may need to break up that monopoly for the common good...
luv u
YOU CAN HAVE OUR TIT
I'd say break the monopoly for the bro's. Ofc a deal would need to be made.
On another note, I've been a montreal expo fan for some time, Especielly when we had Vladimir Guerrero. The memories... but there was no way we could compete with the yankees.
However, Youppi is still at work here, it's the Montreal Canadian (NHL) mascot, about the only thing we we're able to save after that mess was over, that and our stadium that keeps having roof issue 😐

"In the game of Monopoly, you would keep both Boardwalk and Park Place because its an all vs. all game.

what I would do in a game of monopoly with allies would be to give them the lesser properties, but more of them, therefore giving them the combined purchasing power to pay for their trip around the board.
But honestly, I don't really think that a game like this can really be compared to monopoly.
voted for playing the game not emotions.
Voted.
Spain and Greece at various times had similar "monopolies" on iron in V1. It resulted not in them being able to dictate the ATLANTIS/EDEN price of iron, (although they certainly did make money) but in the formation of military companies in these countries that black-marketed the stuff out of the country.
If Canada really wants to screw their allies economically, they should raise the titanium harvester income tax to 50%, because that's the only way they'll get an economic benefit from their "monopoly" on titanium harvested by foreign military companies.
another article on the subject: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/the-[..]1/20">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/the-[..]1/20
Includes links to articles both for and against renting.
Words of Wisdom.
I didn't say Canada should keep its monopoly, I said it will.
You know, I approached the US government regarding export licenses a Brolliance export licensing program to harmonize and integrate our economies recently and was told there "wasn't any money" for that.
No money for export licenses but over a thousand gold a month for rental fees.
Hm.
"No money for export licenses but over a thousand gold a month for rental fees."
i dont see a flaw with this logic.

Voted for the Logic
Rent it to one of our allies for 4,000 Gold a month, Canada!
Can I buy Nunavut? I'm a Canadian so it would stay in Canadian hands! 😃
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE??¿ I'll feed it and walk it and take REAL good care of it! I PROMISE!
this sounds a little like sour grapes...
voted
sounds good.
I agree with this
voted + subbed. I have a newspaper as well. Sub/vote/comment are appreciated 🙂
NO RENTING - any interested country should put 1000 gold into buying export licenses for all our tit companies
Great logic here, ligtreb. Let's hope that Canada will just work something out with us.
Anyone crying about price fixing and production shortfalls should go look at the market place, supplies and pricing. Titanium is cheap and available. Y'all need to stop whining.
"Anyone crying about price fixing and production shortfalls should go look at the market place, supplies and pricing. Titanium is cheap and available. Y'all need to stop whining."
Looking at the current market, before the war module is release, is representative of nothing.
The real question will become whether or not Canada alone can produce and export enough Titanium to maintain the manufacturing needs of the allies.
NOT a chance.....
he makes a point
I like the orange properties in Monopoly.
Canada, you tickled our New Jersey. You were our Delaware, we gave you everything. You give us nothing, my only dreams at night are to gently stroke your NWT. Heck, we'll even pay for it.
Luv ya Canada! Do you luv us back?
Bromance is two directional not just one!
dont sell canada!
