Message	All statistics have been based on figure for the US economy from http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/us.html If you wish to dispute whether the choice of america was appropriate or would suggest alternative figures, please do so now.

Message	I was wondering if that might be more biased... If we link it to a real economy..then no one can doctor the figures. :)

Message	We shouldn't have to wait that long until it is implimented in the game going by the forum. Otherwise I am happy to accept a model that we can find a consensus on.

Message	Well which one would you suggest? Keep in mind that we are more free market then America, so to model ourselves after Burundi or something would not be appropriate.

Message	Please do, we are still abstaining in case anyone has a significant counter argument.

To	Debating the The Economic Budget Act I, Dec 2041
Message	I think that it is unrealistic to assume that we have such a large proportion of the world economy as america does, as geographically we cover a far smaller proportion. I think the economy of a somewhat smaller country should be chosen.

To	Debating the The Economic Budget Act I, Dec 2041
Message	No we are using per-capita figures ..america is thus a $10.99 trillion dollar economy . Ours is only a $1.33 trillion dollar economy.
