Perhaps we could look at real world geography and climate to figure out potential resources and apply those here?

I made this a while back and I believe, people accepted it somewhat.

We also need fairly concrete percentages or values. Sure, you could be a net exporter of oil, but if your share of the world market is 2%, you're not going to be able to achieve much with that. If, on the other hand, you've got something like 30%, that's different. Just listing oil exporters without values is not very useful.

Really? I imagined just listing them would do that! Obviously, I was just thinking perhaps we could come up with an economic RP thread where the nations who wish to participate can participate, meaning nations such as Kafuristan, Cildania and others could determine oil reserves and such? Would that be something people were interested in?

[PaleRider]

If we are to start assigning resources to countries we need to determine the geography of these nations. Obviously being the Arab part of Terra, Majatra would take a desert look to it correct?

I thought imports and exports would be determined by individual trade deals...

Here, do you boys remember when this game was fun?

[PaleRider]

Honestly MR makes a point, perhaps were over pushing the realism drive a bit. Let's leave some wiggle room.

What if the oil industry was privatised? Surely the players can't RP every single trade deal between every single company.

It doesn't matter. Whether it's the government or private sector, it has the same effect on GDP.

They wouldn't have to RP every deal separately. There would just be a total import and total export of each type of major resource.
