Leaders of Technology

This is a simple database for all the countries and what they are leading innovator in. Keep in mind that this is based on RP and inventions that have been patented.

For any reasons that any of these should be revised, please let me know, so that I can do something about it. The main point of this is to ensure that innovations created is more... realistic in some ways. Okay, I am saying this here and now to avoid confusion: I SHALL STILL APPROVE ANY AND ALL INVENTIONS THAT ANY NATION WISH TO HAVE, AS LONG AS THEY ABIDE BY THE "MODERN TECHNOLOGY" RULES. I am just trying to give a better sense of which inventions are best suited for which nations. Sure, Nation A can invent new variant of pesticides if they so want. However, will that help that same nation, which is the leading innovator of medicine? It could, but not likely. This will also encourage what I would like to see: technology trades and sales. If you invent something (as in you discovered it first) but you don't need it, you can trade another nation for different goods... perhaps even rights. This will make more dependent and commercing nations that I would love to see.


Now without further ado, I shall list all the nations and their leading innovation. Keep in mind that if there wasn't sufficient RP examples of what your nation is a leading innovator of, I shall refrain from guessing. Also keep in mind that I shall edit as I see fit. And I shall also edit on request, given that the nation can give me sufficient RPed examples of this fact.

• Rasvidi:
  Rasvidi has a history of Revolutionary mindset, as well as having aggressive intervention policies. This, coupled with major budget in defense as well as involvement in several warfares, have led Rasvidi into creating more pro-military inventions.
  • Leading Innovator in: Military Technology
  • Notable Innovations: Advanced Toxic Weaponry
  
  
• Gracealona:
  Gracealona has always been the "gentle giant" of Tiberiam, with its focus on creating a completely independent nation of green energy. Gracealona also has a focus on peaceful space programs. And as such, its leading innovation in avionics really symbolizes the giant's peaceful and green power.
  • Leading Innovator in: Green Energy, Avionics
  • Notable Innovations: EUREP, Commercial Supersonic Jet, GNSA
  
  
• HESS:
  HESS, or Holy Edesu Socialist State, is currently the largest producer of oil as well as agriculture. It has a pride of being "breadbasket of Hiborea," and provides for much raw resources. Although recent boycott and chain of conflicts have created a downturn for technocratic nation, HESS is still going strong with many inventions that optimize their production capabilities.
  • Leading Innovator in: Petroleum Processing, Agriculture
  • Notable Innovations: Pigoline, Dehydrated Water
  
  
• Isis Rakael:
  Massive nation of great wealth and power in Tiberiam. Isis Rakael far ellipses any nation in Tiberiam in terms of sheer number and capital. And as such, Rakaelian innovations match their big spending and even bigger ego. They have no set innovative routes, but their inventions, once revealed after their top secret filtering coincidently "slips up," is known to be grandiose and ground-shaking.
  • Leading Innovator in: N/A
  • Notable Innovations: Orbital Bombardment, Scramjet
  
  
• King Isaac:
  The Royal nation of King Isaac is a vast nation that has survived through much domestic failings, such as epidemic that had struck the nation. After it political hierarchy almost shaken from its foundations, King Isaac's economy and military power is on par even with the powerful nations of EU.
  • Leading Innovator in: Uranium-based Technology
  • Notable Innovations: N/A
  
  
• Serilaq:
  A quiet nation that has yet to make a large wave, the colonies of Serilaq has been sitting quietly and have yet to report any interest in any fields of innovations.
  • Leading Innovator in: N/A
  • Notable Innovations: N/A
  
  
• Oscalantine:
  Relatively new nation with strange government system, the Oscalantine innovation usually stays within the interest of the companies, who wish to protect their last bastion of market with much zeal. While the focus of Oscalantine in general stays within defense, Nexus Incorporated, the largest "political party" company of the region has its sights in Information Technology, and as such the entire country is more focused in IT and computer technologies in general.
  • Leading Innovator in: Information Technology
  • Notable Innovations: Stealth Submarine, Submerged Aircraft Carrier, Mg-O Fuel Cells, Thermal Laser
  
  
• Civa-Orchestra:
  One of the oldest nations in Tiberiam, the denizens of Civa-Orchestra stays relatively isolationistic towards rest of the world. With such limited access to information, it is difficult to tell what the government's interests are in, and what is the most notable technologies that the nation has invented. However, in terms of guarding their secrets with much zeal, there are very few that can match Civa-Orchestra.
  • Leading Innovator in: N/A
  • Notable Innovations: N/A

Alright, here it is... the innovation board. Thought we needed it...

Any changes that I need to make? Go ahead and post it here. Depending on how convincing it is ( as in... are there RP examples for it...) you can go ahead and request it here.

Also, if you want me to change the DESCRIPTION OF YOUR NATION, go ahead and let me know, and I shall do so...

As for newer nations... like Spacepope and Pokoteria and Alameria... maybe even Darkholm... you can also request it on this page. I just didn't know your interests yet, so I didn't bother with it.

my interests are slaughtering and torturing hethans

I love my nation's description, although I believe HESS has invented a few more significant products than dehydrated water.

Rubbish. I just choose not to tell you about those things.

[Looks at resource map.] Isis Rakael is the global leader in... tobacco smoking?

I would contest that Gracealona is the leader in Green Technology overall, not just green energy. We have our own EUREP on a national level and the tax cuts to companies that "go green" and produce green products would encourage its growth. Also part of our environment budget goes to research into green tech. Both of those have been in place for many years and I think that would make us the leader in all things green

I feel like contesting this claim.

Edesus don't drive cars. We use mass transportation, bicycles, or our legs. Cars are used by the police, military, and other exceptional government services. Automobiles are electric. Only the military uses fossil fuels. Edesus recycle any and all waste and byproducts.

Despite an abundance of oil reserves, our power plants do not consume fossil fuels. We only use uranium, solar, wind, hydro, algae, and the occasional geothermal. HESS devotes 4% more of its government budget to the environment than Grace does. (And despite my many rants last fall about how total budget are more significant than mere percentage points, it was decided that my argument was mere folly.)

This has been how HESS operates for over a century since we are so damn dirt poor. HESS isn't like Rasvidi, Grace, and IR. We haven't been industrial wastelands for decades. (OK, Grace is far from a wasteland, but still.) HESS is about as clean as it was millenia ago.

Poverty and over-regulation ftw.

You sir have been one-upped.

Actually, I stand corrected. Green technology is all about fixing past fuck-ups. HESS avoided said fuck-ups with basic regulations that no capitalist would support. Also having no money in general helped. (Remember, HESS was dirt poor, even by Edesu standards, before the reign of Catherine the Prosperous [22 RP years ago].)

Actually, I redact that claim. To achieve that I would have needed a green economy.

Fuck this, I redact everything.

I concede. Grace is the Hiborea "Green Power."

Screw the environment.

Yeesh, reading the OOC banter and you'd think it was Gracealona vs. Edesu on the world stage, not Rasvidi vs. Edesu.

This is a really cool list though, Oscalantine. I think your description of Rasvidi is spot-on, and I am thoroughly pleased about my listed innovations. Fits the character of my nation perfectly, right down to our stockpiles of biochemical weapons! And I am with civa... screw the environment, what's it ever done for us!? Maybe when it starts building nukes for us, we can talk!

God, Rasvidi. Your flag and seal have more Soviet imagery than mine do, and yet you're still gun-ho capitalist.

Our economy is actually Market Socialist, which can resemble Capitalism in many ways. All our industry is state-owned, however, even though corporations and such can operate freely and without too much restrction within these industries. Basically, the government owns the economy but uses aspects of Capitalism as a way to control it and create a profitable market.

China is the best real-world example of this, where their economy is tough to define as either Communist or Capitalist if one is unaware of Market Socialism.

The environment is too expensive. I have better things to spend my money on.

Lol...

I think some of these things are being outdated... Firstly, as soon as SpacePope RPs a decent posts, I'll definitely add him into the listings. I'll also update as things go.

Indeed, environment is too expensive. But heck, saving a few pine trees gets my people off of the street and start functioning like second factor of business that they are, I am happy =D

Hey everyone! Remember this thread?

Anyways Administrator of Culture Oscalantine, I thought what you wrote for the HESS was perfect, but the following clause is no lonhger accurate.

Although recent boycott and chain of conflicts have created a downturn for technocratic nation,

I have RPed a full recovery, and my NSE stats reflect it. Thanks.

More importantly, I am feeling avaricious and am wondering whether I could expand into a third field of technological dominance? If two's the limit, I understand. If not...

Medicine. Like all communist nations, the HESS spends a shitload of money on education and healthcare. I was wondering whether Edes could become the leader in this field. It's a pretty huge field, so if that's not an option, how about...

Trains. Locomotion is obviously not as important an industry as medicine, but the Edesu homeland is sprawled with trains. Subways are the main mode of transport for cities; for anything more distant, most Edesus use our massive train network. So yeah, tell me if anything's open.

Also, now that Rasvidi is dead, I think Isis Rakael is the undisputed leader in weaponry.

Osc, please answer my questions.

E, the way the Leaders of Technology works is through ROLEPLAYING. You cannot declare something to be true if you do not RP it so. In other words... no matter how much of an innovator your country is, as long as you don't show it in the RP, I'm not posting it here...

Hopefully that answers your question... as for Ras... let's just hope that he returns... T^T
