And then, USA was South Korea. You got Gainax Ending!
why not tell us about South korea, used what i did as an example, start with how well it feeds, clothes and houses itself and whether there's water for everyone. remember steep prices for anything subtracts half the percent for that one thing. steep prices are something that people would struggle to pay on a typical basis or would have to borrow money to pay.
Ideology in entertainment or school is very easy to spot too, just look for issues the government has been or is pushing and see if they are stressed in the entertainment programs and educational docs.
industry is an easy one, how much of it does your country make?
Here I'll do China as an example;
Necessities: 35% total possible 8.75% each category + extra for over production.
Food: China produces more than enough food for itself and exports the rest to the USA, The UK, Europe and Russia, it's estimated to be the second largest food exporter after India, it's estimated they make 15% of the listed country's food supplies, +15% x 10 countries or so; 8.75 x10 / 100 x 15= 13.125% + it's own 8.75% = 21.875%
Water: China produces enough water for itself and exports some of it's bottled spring water, however the majority of the drinking water in China's cities needs to be boiled before being drank but other than that it's relatively clean. 98%% = 8.575%, it's exports account for maybe 5% of the global bottled water market serving around 20 major countries, so; 8.75x20 /100 x 5 = 8.75% +8.575%= 17.325%
Clothing: China produces nearly all the clothing in the world, they have dirt markets upon dirt markets which manufacture clothing en-mass that gets bought up and labelled by average brand names like Gap and other trendy stores, flip a label up, and don't be surprised, it's made in China. they supply enough clothing for themselves at dirt cheap prices (hence the name dirt market, not as a reference to it's cleanliness though the cleanliness is typically poor in the market but not int he individual stalls.) 8.75% no contest, +an additional 60% of the entire world's clothing market, around 180 countries so; 8.75 * 180 / 100 *60 = 945% Fuck lol that's a lot of clothes.
8.75 + 945% = 953.75%
Housing; there is enough housing in China but the prices can be steep for it's citizens though comparatively cheaper than in western countries. Typically people can comfortably rent in china. 8.75%
Evaluation Criteria 1: 1,001.7% of 35%
over-production FTW and the USA wonders why it's economy seems poor even though the dollar is so strong and why china seems so rich even though their money is so weak.
Industry strength and ecosystem: Worth 25% + over production. 12.5% each category.
Industry: China makes a good deal of the electronics and industrial metals and materials close to 60% of the entire world's industrial supplies are made in China. Complaints about the quality have been voiced by engineers. China imports it's iron from Australia before making it into steel to use itself and sell the excess onwards to the world.
Stats;
60% Global over production
-20%: complaints over quality of it not meeting necessary standards for specific high precision applications.
=40%
-30%% (18%) China does not produce it's own raw materials so some of the profits go to Australia.
=22% net global production of industry resources. serving 100 countries so, 12.5 (* 100 /100 negated) *22 = 275% +it's own 12.5% = 287.5%
Ecosystem; yes there is some smog in china, no worse per say than in California, mostly because of the hot temperatures making the air too thick for smokes and gasses to get through.
there is pollution, but public pollution is nullified, they pay street cleaners to clean the cities from rubbish. Industrial pollution however is something they attempt to stop yet people do it anyways even though it's illegal, there is a lot of pollution even though the law catches factories doing it, for every one they catch there are 12 more they didn't look at yet. they are responsible for a good deal of global pollution at 33%, so 25%% of 12.5% for trying to clean it up, then 12.5 * 196 / 100 *33= -808.5%! +3.125 = -805.375%
Evaluation Criteria 2: 287.5 + -805.375 = -517.875%
TOTAL TALLY OF INITIAL 'BASE' ECONOMY:
1001.7 + -517.875 = 483.825% of 60%
China exceeds 51%% of 60% Move on to next sections!
Modern Necessities:
they have electricity (5%), heating and AC for everyone and it's more than affordable (5%). standing to make 10%
communication systems: they have an amazing communication network(5%), however there's limits on communication technology such as phones(-10%%), computer hardware (-2.5%) and especially what you can see on the internet (-2.5%).-0.5% +10%= 9.5%
Evaluation Criteria 3: 9.5% of 15%, 493.325% of 75% (Above 51%) Continue onwards
Education and public transportation;
Education; their education system through grade school is very strict and high in content(+25%%), from interviewing people there is some information that is omitted from such areas as history(-10%%), but they also include some true historical facts that other countries exclude. What they include is in greater quantity and importance than what is excluded(+10%%). There is little international current events in the education system leaving many unaware of things going on outside China, but that's more a media issue(No change). Grade school is affordable (+25%%).
higher education; college is affordable and up to required education standards to a bachelor level (+25%%). Masters level and higher education is inadequate entirely and stands as though it's just bachelor level 2 and 3. (-25%%)
50%% of 7.5% = 3.75%
Transportation;
The public transportation system is impressive to say the least, however there are a few areas where the network needs updating and needs accommodation for a bigger market and could be faster and more frequent but over the majority of the country's big economic areas has above adequate transportation that is affordable. Over the entire country 80% of the populated regions are covered by public transport of a suitable variety for their needs, 20% of the population sees no transport at all. +80%%%
private transportation is on the rise in China (+25%%%), much like in other countries this rise stands as a social status symbol and everyone wants it, the prices of it are cheap compared to other countries (+25%%%), however in an over populated country this stands as a detriment to the roadways causing extreme congestion and slower travel times for commuters in major economic areas than if they took public transport(-50%%%). 0%%%
7.5/2= 3.75 /100 *80 = 3%
Evaluation Criteria 4: 3.75 + 3 = 6.75% of 15%
500.075% of 90% country exceeds 51%, continue onwards.
Entertainment and luxury goods:
Entertainment; there is a good deal of entertainment to choose from, it's loaded with typical plot points (+50%%%), some miniscule ideology is used mostly to promote personal morals to a specific standard (miniscule means no change).
The price of entertainment is high, for example movie tickets can exceed 150 yuan, however that is not determined by the Chinese system, Chinese movie company tickets sell for 50 yuan which is cheap, there are more studios that you can shake a stick at and most are not big names, lots of Indie studios! (+50%%%), there is a relative lack of specific information about other countries but that's due to other countries not allowing Chinese media to investigate stories in those countries.
+50%%
Luxury goods:
China is one of the leading manufacturers of luxury goods, there are many brands to choose from and a lot of allowance in the market for new brands to start up, there is no large corporate hold over the luxury market, it's something anyone who makes an effort can get into (+50%%%), the prices of luxury commodities made in china are affordable, commodities imported from other countries (USA, Italy, UK) are beyond steep but that's no fault of China it's a fault of the other countries.(+50%%%)
+50%%
Evaluation Criteria 5: 100%% = +10%
510.075%
Innovation:
China is embracing some innovation most of it already designed and tested by other countries, it is pushing some of it's own designs and making some of it's own tests, I estimate China's innovation to stand at 10% of the global innovation scale as china's innovations are to produce better quality of life and better products versus just trying to make some expensive tech that doesn't help normal life (Like the USA does) or serves as a service scheme to make people pay for a value that doesn't exist (also what the USA does).
Evaluation Criteria 6: +10% of global, 196 / 100 * 10 = 19.6%
TOTAL FINAL EVALUATION: 529.675% of 100%
100% of a global currency value is 0.510204082
So 1 Chinese Yuan is projected to be worth 0.510204082 x 5.29675 =
$2.7024234713335 of a global currency value.
