Brandenburg Business Weekly


We are proud to present our annual survey of the World's economies. Unfortunatly we again find ourselves lacking data this year for a number of smaller countries, however the number of countries in this condition is at an all-time low.

The BBW World Economic Index is calculated by taking the estimated annual Governmental budget of the various nations, and is given in Deutschmarks.

MKN: DM57,600,000
FRA: DM50,900,000
RMK: DM36,800,000
UNK: DM32,400,000
GCL: DM30,700,000
BCN: DM30,600,000
ORN: DM29,400,000
DKB: DM29,200,000
UNS: DM28,600,000
RUS: DM27,648,000
CSA: DM26,200,000
AUS: DM25,400,000
NTH: DM24,640,000
OTT: DM23,720,000
JPN: DM19,980,800
IBR: DM19,420,000
UKR: DM18,400,000
ITL: DM16,008,000
BVR: DM15,000,000

The BBW World Industial Index is calculated by taking the estimated annual production of high-grade military steel, in tonnes:

FRA: 40,000
UNK: 36,000
RMK: 34,000
GCL: 32,820
MKN: 29,600
BCN: 28,000
CSA: 28,000
ORN: 28,000
RUS: 24,400
NTH: 24,000
UNS: 22,000
DKB: 22,000
AUS: 22,000
IBR:  16,000
BAV: 14,500
ITL:  14,000
JPN: 14,000
OTT: 14,000
UKR: 12,000

(ooc: is there a list of NPC economies somewhere?)

Rocky - thanks for working that out. :)

Now if there was some way to combine/factor the two to get an overall ranking (dividing the first by the second didn't work out too well.)...

Dividing IC by BP will give you a sense of how important heavy industry is to your economy.

Given that IC costs $75, and BP is $300, how about (IC/4) + BP for overall economic strength, or divide that by population to give per capita?

"The de Soto Index" of Industrial Power

The terms:

IC = IC
IP = Millions of people with a corresponding IC
P = Millions of people without a corresponding IC
BP = BP

The Formula which gives the "de Soto" number is:  IC + IP + P/5 + BP*4.  In other words, it's your semi-annual budget plus (BP * 4)

France:  377
Middle Kingdom:  348

Rohan:  254
United Norman Kingdom:  235
Gran Colombia:  223
Baltic Confederation:  218

Orange:  204
DKB:  193
CSA:  188
Russia:  188

NS:  176
Netherlands:  174
Hapsburgs:  173

Ottomania:  147
Iberia:  137
Japan:  129
Italia:  113
Ukraine:  110

So the DKB has the
8th largest budget
12th largest steel production
6th largest population

...and comes out 9th in DSI.

I must say the population was the second most surprising figure. The most surprising was having a higher DSI score than Russia (!).

Why does everyone fear NS so much? I mean:

9th largest budget
11th largest steel production
16th largest population
12th Overall

Only in land area does NS stand out (2nd) but thats due to a bunch of Ice Up North and a bunch of Deserts Down Under.

The Swiss are viewed in Gran Colombia as loose cannons, prone to going off at unexpected times for unexpected reasons.

'Loose cannons' probably wouldn't be the Confederate way of discribing them- more like 'combination magazine/smoking room.' You know they are gonna blow- just not how long you get to enjoy the atmosphere.

Netherlands:  201

Despite that the Netherlands did grow a bit (2% pop growth and 1 more IC in the NOI), 201 seems a bit high, if I follow the part I marked in bold I get a number of 173,7, and that seems more fitting.
I think that the Netherlands rating would be distorted by the fact that one part of the country have very little population, but lots of IC, and the rest got 80% of the population, but very little IC.

Just so we're clear on this, these are Swiss we're talking about here, not Filipinos.
