My defense minister has pointed out many times that there are alot real powerhouse, promising leaders on the Auriga Bella continent.
The hymyland representative wonders if any of these players might want to team up for regional defense and knowledge sharing. |

I advise any players in Auriga Bella to join. |

Well let�s broaden this up. This could include all of lacerta as well as most of the other southern continents. This would still be a helicopter defense league.
Failing that, Laguna would you want to cofound a kb academy type fed? Defense would be diluted since it would be open to all. But there�s a lot we could do with the navy though.
I�m just spitballing ways to leverage this small surge in social activity that wants to catch fire. So any thoughts welcome. |

Sure. I'd like to see some more group activity in KB again. |

Okay guys,
what are are we going to call this fed?
Looks Like Laguna and I are willing to train up the members of this fed.
ME: I've been playing this game since before there was a White Giant (The exact year is lost to me.). Have played probably almost a decade, in stints. I'm not a big fan of common markets and CEOs, so I'm old school. I was here when both were introduced and never warmed up to them. But we have Laguna onboard, and Laguna loves that stuff. So between us we know every trick.
I've played as a warlord, and as an Econ player. Currently, I'm pursuing a State owned Economy, with a warlord outlook. But I'm having to relearn the war game. But the war game is definitely easier now.
Laguna: Laguna is a popular player unlike me, been here probably as long or longer. But it's hard to say because like many, he's had different moniker's over the years. Perhaps we will get him to say a bit about his history here.
So name, and hash out some idea of what goals we would have. That would be a good start. |

You've definitely been here way before me. When I joined Golden Rainbow was already a thing.
In truth, I bumped into Simcountry by accident. I was searching for Final Fantasy X's Bevelle on Google Images, and one of the images was one of the country maps' here. It was a bit odd considering everything else, so I clicked to see what it was. Being a strategy and econ nerd, of course I joined. 
On a different tack, that image was a hit on Google Images, because they named either their country or capital Bevelle. The internet allowed itself to these serendipitous moments back then.
When I join MMOs, I mostly prefer to keep to myself, but also interact with other players. One of the first people I spoke with was tuco when the Euro Cup was being hosted by Portugal in 2004.
I was a moderator in SC's forum and chat, in Genie's IRC server as well, where I promoted Jozi Chat. Jozi Chat was a meeting where players could discuss certain topics with the GM.
I'm an Economist by training, and I'm working in Finance. I'm back into my roots and just trying to see how profitable a country an enterprise can be. I'm also interested in building a supply chain for TA. |

If Andy bumps into this, I have a question for him and the team:
Quote:Why did you create Simcountry?
I think I've asked this before, but I don't recall. |
| hymy1 | Saturday, January 25, 2025 - 09:30 pm
I have this vague recollection that it was created by a economics professor for some reason. Maybe Andy will fill us in more. |

Hello yall! How are you guys doing. Seems like I sadly can't join this group due to being on Draca Mixor. Do yall know any feds which reach out to my lonely continent. I been massaging people around here to say hi. But it's getting pretty lonely around here. |
| hymy1 | Saturday, January 25, 2025 - 09:35 pm
So then this all started sometime between 2000 and 2004. I remember Tuco, but nothing about them.
While Andy is thinking about the past, maybe he could find any backups of the forum prior to reset in 2008, and put them up somewhere. |

Hey Cuby,
You moniker is familiar, you been around here for awhile?
You could totally join this. Due to lack of interest, Laguna and I decided maybe we would just start global fed focused on sharing strategies and helping players learn.
If we grew large enough, we could even use the Navy fairly effectively for security purposes. Some of those weapons pack a punch and have unique properties. They're just expensive and hard to maintain. But if a federation of people put together even a small navy in their own countries, it would add strength fast.
I'll put that forward as a proposed central tenet of what we do here. "Strength Through Navy". We could have it loiter in some area central to our members.
Anybody know what the limit on # of Fed members is now? |
| Cuby | Monday, January 27, 2025 - 12:38 am
Well, this is my 2nd post ever on any forums here, so I'm pretty new around here lol. I would love to join yalls group. But an issue is I have no clue on how to manage a military and have no military of my own. If yall don't mind about that current dead military score on my nation I wish to join.
:D |
| hymy1 | Tuesday, January 28, 2025 - 12:12 am
Your not a liability until your war level 3. Depending on what direction we go with this, we could do some military training. |
| Cuby | Tuesday, January 28, 2025 - 07:50 pm
If you would have me, my nation is the little country of Haibern. |
| hymy1 | Saturday, May 3, 2025 - 08:48 pm
Your as far away from me as possible, it woldn't be any benefit. Laguna is right near you though. So you guys could organize the other pole. |
