So I'm a member of the I9 but only in tier 4? I can accept that but could you explain your logic please? |

This list is attempting to be objective rather than subjective. The best way to measure economic power would be through GDP, however we don't really use GDP here so we had to come up with another set of criteria to base the tiers upon. The arguments for "oh, nation A is really influential" don't really work because those claims are not supported by figures. So we broke the tiers up in a different way. We don't want to list the specifics behind what each tier is because we don't want players to come in and just claim everything that is listed for tier 1 in an attempt to be a superpower, but we can tell you that your tier does not necessarily equal economic power, but more relates to what your economy is based upon. This information is taken from what players have listed in their FB, or in econ related threads, not from how you RP or anything else that would require interpretation, only what was outright listed. Yes we know, economies can change, your natural resources may change once the resource map is up and that may affect your economy--these rankings are not set in stone, they are not the bible, they are just a general guideline that can be used and they can and will be updated. |

Are we still pretending the I9 matters?

Oh yeah it does ![]() @ Art: These tiers represent how advanced your economy is, not powerful, as this is subjective. E.g china would be tier 1 for influence, but is tier 3 for advancement on our scale...see? As Lux said we do not take into account subjective measures. Yes we have made 1 or 2 exceptions to our criteria based on people's prior thoughts about economics in order to make the lists vaguely sensible; but as a rule of thumb, we don't. Economic power is not represented here. In RL not even GDP offers a truthful insight into how important a nation is on the global scene: we have chosen to stay well away from this area! Maybe I9 membership indicates economic power, who knows

Well e.g Neo wasn't ranked, and we put her in tier 1, becase although she lacked enough information to classify her; we all know she's very advanced in her industry and a mega power in the world of economics... |

Initally she wasn't ranked on the official standings in the library, the cmte discussed that and changed our minds.

The I9 works behind your backs, while you sleep, watching, ready to strike.

Fenwick and I don't have social welfare (or very little). How does that affect our economic rankings? I guess I mean in an importance sense. Or would it affect it at all? I think once I hammer out a little more detail, my economic ranking might actually decrease, but I have to figure out exactly how I think my economy works. |
