[the_shadow 0]

I want to be Nogova Defense Force Minister because I know quite a lot about activity and sales of used and new military equipment, for example: the M151 was already beginning to be scaled out from the US Military in the 80's, and it would be the perfect low-cost jeep for the NDF (Nogova Defense Forces). East Germany and Poland are also neighboring countries (I think) and they can/could also provide with helicopters and planes (as Poland is the home of PZL helicopters)

hmmm..im just wondering what would be the point in doing this

[Consigliere 0]

Yeah some people are just being stupid about it. I think it's a good idea and I'm still running for defence minister

Oh and Blackdog : WTF is it with you and that jeep??

[Matthijs 40]

How about having fun?

[edit] Uhm.... I think I misunderstood your remark... sorry.

Anyway, I'm not going to delete the rest of the response. [/edit]

The reason to start this thread was to have some more coordination in what a living and breathing Nogova would look like, define an "economically correctly scaled" defense force, and a weapons/vehicle selection by the community as opposed to proprietary solutions.

Not to say that proprietary solutions would be bad, but I just think this provides some extra fun, with voting for "our new helicopter" and all.

GoOB's response is exacly what I had in mind:

Quote[/b] ]I have been thinking of writing a Nogova fact sheet for a while now. And I have been thinking about how Nogova would work for a long time aswell.

I would love to work together with a few people on deciding how Nogova functions. It's history, the population, current national disputes and things like that.

This would be an excellent starting point to see what could and should be spent on defense/justice/economy.

This kind of thing is a quite popular hobby. http://www.geocities.com/arwzone/

The only difference for OFP players is, we get to walk around on our Nogova, instead of having to look at a piece of paper. It's also nice for those who can't model or skin even a bit.

I shall be the evil ruthless dictator next door to you all in Kolgujev better pay homage($$) or my scuds will have something to say

Seriously the govt of Nogova needs its own insignia or seal .. what about making one? How about parliament building? Making one for Lipany wouldd be required ....

I almost forgot about this, but I think it's quite handy to have at this point in time.

From the Political Test Thread:

I nominate ozanzac for President! How could he possibly offend anyone?

He was speaking in reference to my neutral score in the political compass test.

I have an endorsement.

Vote 1 Ozanzac for president.

when will all this take place

as in now, in the 80's or in an other era?

cause the infrastructure and the economy would be very different

(modern nogova, everon and malden islands?)

Good point. That is one of the things to be thought about first: establish timeline. (maybe that idea of a minister of time wasn't that bad after all)

Either way, you sound like a good minister of finance, or prime minister.

@Kooky:

Gone too far? How? Never played a sim, TDG or RPG? And if you don't want to play, that's no problem either. Just don't spoil the fun for us.

As for final decisionmaking, thats done by the people using polls, not by the government.

i accept

@ arkengel

I love RPGs and all that kind of thing, but it just seems a bit... redundant here.

Well, work has started on a Nogova factsheet. This factsheet assumes that Nogova, Everon and Malden are all the same country. But have individual sets of laws and regulations much like in the U.S. And also the "Nogovian Island Republic" has two official languages these being: Czech and *Maldonian.

Glossary:

Maldonian (does anyone have a better name for it?) is spoken on Everon and Malden.

It is a crude mix of Czech and French. This language was first concived around the 17th century as a result of French merchants and military commanders using Malden and Everon as trading posts and temporary garrisons for their fleets. Other noteworthy information is that the first king of Malden was of French heritage wich also made it's mark on Malden and Everon.

Maldonian is now beginning to fade away from the tounges of the inhabitants of Malden and Everon as tourism is a growing trade. Many French tourists make their way to these islands to visit museums, hike in the mountains and enjoying the Maldonian and Everonian culture. However most have a hard time understanding the complex language that is Maldonian.

EDIT: Lost a sentence

this is a posibility for an nogovan economy

Service sector 74%

Industry 14%

agriculture 12%

the primaire and secundaire sectors (agriculture and industry)on Nogova would both face the same problem,

being that Nogova is simply to small for these sectors to have any major export capabilties.The secudairy sectors would

sell most of there products on the domestic market, whitch is to small to have a large industrial sector and the agricultural

sector wouldn't have enough land to use for farming more then the domestic demand.

(the size of the industrial sector does rely on the precence of any major mineral depostits and or oli flields in Nogova.

these are not present in my assesment)

the main sector in the Nogovan economy(service) could be split in two groups.

the 1e being the recreation industry wich would focus on wealthy tourists who like a quite "elegant" vacation

the reasons that there wouldn't be any mass tourisme is that Nogova is to far away from Europe and the US to for

cheap travel and the climate doesn't suit the demands of mass tourisme

the 2e would be business this group would consist of all kinds of business .

A 3e sector could be a banking sector ,but this would only exist if there whould be bank secrecy.

The pure nature, snow-ensured winters and great slopes make cross-country skiing a popular passtime on these islands. A slow but constantly growing stream of cross-country skiing tourists visit the islands each winter.

I think the independent nature of the island, and the simple need for income, would indeed make banking an important source of income for the government. It would be wise the have banking secrecy. This would also fit in perfectly with hosting more luxurious vacations.

That's whet I was about earlier on, but not just that.

The islands have some good areas for summer resorts, that is allso a good income and a big bust in economy.

I'd say mineral resources probably constitute Nogova's main export, what with the mountains in the North, Desert in the South West.

I think that instead of voting for the positions, each candidate should have to pass some sort of test, like a quiz on the subject of his requested position, like for DM, you'd have to answer questions about military affairs, etc...Because I don't think voting would work, nobody really knows enough about anybody to be able to vote

I believe if this mod should be in the future more so, that possibly having it supplied and supported by America and its allies. Having it a part of the UN Council, a large economy, more farms, a bridge to the Airport from the main island ( northern Airport )......

I was actually thinking for a government though making it a democratic type government or perhaps a monarchy / Democracy combined but not a communist government. Have the government rich with resources because of taxes from the popullation that has grown on Nogova........make it so that they use better vehicles and weapons then a former soviet block type country.

[Badassdom 0]

the cayman island are very similar(exept for the climate an position)

Nation master

LOL also checkout the Budget (expenditures):

very surprising

[bmgarcangel 0]

Now if any, what government in the world could you compare to a new, excellent, and well going Nogova Government???

Say perhaps Japan.....good economy but too populated....perhaps New Zealand........

The thing is though, Nogova is so damned small.......I mean, its even smaller then the Biggest island over in the hawaiian chain. I mean if Nogova was real, i'd think that it would rather be say occupied or owned by another country.

[Badassdom 0]

yes but its not so where makeing it an economy so just play along

[Matthijs 40]

As Nogova economy development seems to progress just fine, I don't think we don't need anything like a chosen team. Goob has taken the lead anyway, and he's doing a fine job, so why not let him coordinate te effort?

@acero:

I thought you were talking about summer vacations.

I have been longing for a cable car in OFP for ages. It was one of my favorite vehicles in "Midwinter", especially when combining it with skis.

Summers vacations would be nice too. Cycling, wandering, fishing, hanggliding, bus-sightseeing tours, and catching a tan at the beach should be no problem. What I'm missing are malls, discos and cinemas. A sightseeing ship or cruiseship would also be nice.

Now that I think of it: fishing would be an important source of income for islands like these. How about an Everonian grilled fishfilet?

BTW: Is there anyone out there that could make a phonebook/streetplan for the islands?
