Natural Resources Map

[Aquinas]

Well, this issue is bound to come up sooner or later!

Any thoughts on the distribution of natural resources across Terra?

Just for reference, some old thread from the Particracy Classic forum on this subject, which may or may not be useful...

Particracy economics brainstorm (was Economic Protocols)

I would definitely support a fair distribution of resources across all available countries; it would really spur us to RP economically according to each country's strengths and weaknesses in terms of resource availability and could in the long run generate interesting outcomes. I'm just curious as to whether this distribution will be based on the rl cultures that our countries are emulating or its simply randomly assigned?

I think we should have it distributed randomly, instead of based on cultures. And I don’t agree with the previous list and I think it should be edited

That list is old and if I remember correctly was quickly pushed off by the community. There was a most recent effort to build a new resources list when I was Chairman of the GRC.

I created a new Oil/Natural Gas map and had planned out stuff with it.

Here’s the map: imgur.com/zCCHljv

I’ll have to find the rest of it. Essentially Tier III is the top, Tier II lesser and Tier I the lowest.

You neglected to include the oil deposits in the Anantonese Ocean and in Suldanor, which Kalistan has built extensive RP around.

As I stated on the Discord, that’s an older map and there’s a new meet one that took that into account.

As I noted, the new map does not include the Anantonese formations or the Suldanor formations.

If you look at this map, which is the one you linked, it has nothing in that region.

Unless I am misreading it, which is entirely possible.  If that is the case, I will shut up.

I believe a bigger issue is the depletion of resources. Since this game is a continuing reality thingy, what will happen with resources? Nations having them will deplete them and so with the restriction on sci-fi alternatives we will have end of the world without basic resources, plus the alternative would be unrealistic, meaning that every nation or most of them have access to certain resources in unlimited quantity.

I don't like how they simply assign three resources and industries to each country. I believe we should have a couple of maps showing what areas a certain resource is located (Similar to Farsun's oil and natural gas map) rather than giving out three random products to each nation. There should be multiple maps, perhaps one for each important resource, rather than one confusing mega resource map. 

Agriculture should, for the main part, be left up to the players. Maybe the most moderation intrusion would be the creation of a climate map that would guide players in choosing realistic agricultural products.

As for industry, it should be entirely left up to players with moderators only intervening in unrealistic scenarios, like an undeveloped third world country building up a large tech industry in a month.

Farsun's Oil/Natural Gas Map

I think we should go with this as the natural gas, but more oil should be put in the seas. Yolo suggested about a week or two ago that large amounts of oil should be put in the Anantonese and Mad Dog Oceans, and I agree with him on this.
