Build an umu factory, and then, using all your remaining umus, wake up as many Moai statues as you can. They have slumbered for long enough...

Ey, what is this? God Emperor this, God Emperor that, is all so confusing! Invest all 10 tons of vodka into improving vodka quality! What use is distilling more if vodka can be substituted with acid? After your research with the top Russian Researchers, you have developed a new Super-Vodka. This Super-Vodka is twice as effective at funding any of your endeavors, but it takes slower to produce. A normal factory produces 2 tons of Super-Vodka in 3 days. How much does a normal factory cost? After the first factory, they cost 4 of your country's resource each. Build an umu factory, and then, using all your remaining umus, wake up as many Moai statues as you can. They have slumbered for long enough... You spend your Umu's on advancing magic to reawaken the Moai, they are at your command. Your first factory is free, and you gain two Umu.
I've realized I haven't been tallying how many of your resource you all have precisely enough, so I'm going to update that here. I'll also formally define a turn as a post I made that isn't just me introducing a new country. Canada currently has no Maple Syrup The Netherlands has 6 tons of Stamppot Liechtenstein has 17 tons of Ribel Antartica has 2 tons of Fish Russia has no Vodka Easter Island has 2 tons of Umu Finland has 10 tons of Lihapullat If you see any errors please notify me of them.

Ey, nice, nice! Winter will be much easier with Super Vodka! Since I do not have any of either, let's wait for production!

I'm spending 4 ton to create a second hutspot factory in Amsterdam The AMSTERDAM FACTORY is created. Because both factories produced 2 tons of hutspot this turn, this covers the cost of the factory. Ey, nice, nice! Winter will be much easier with Super Vodka! Since I do not have any of either, let's wait for production! I'm going to assume this means you want to create a factory dedicated to making the stuff. You create the ST. PETERSBURG FACTORY AND POTATO FARM. It produces 0.67 tons of Super-Vodka each turn (Worth roughly 1.3 regular tons of Vodka).

Ah! Canada was doing something about space, no? I will also focus on space, with the ultimate goal of Mars! It will be good because I saw that documentary, The Martian, about growing potatoes there, and Martian Vodka should taste very nice!

Before anything else, I shall order the first (free) lihapullat factory constructed.
I shall invest 5 tons of lihapullat into meatball-mixing training, hopefully improving our lihapullat production rate.
2 tons shall go into the beginnings of a second factory.
2 more tons shall be sent off to the schools, to improve the daily life of our students! This will surely have long-term benefits in terms of research and science.
The final ton will be sent off to the labs, in order to research more optimized seasoning techniques.
I will also send a diplomatic communique to the governments of both Koreas, formally extending my nation's apologies for the aftermath of the Finno-Korean Hyperwar.

It will be good because I saw that documentary, The Martian, about growing potatoes there, and Martian Vodka should taste very nice! You spend the super-vodka you have to improve on currently existing Russian Rockets. You haven't developed much as you only have 1.3 tons of super-vodka (equal to 2.6 tons of regular vodka). You create the new Soyuz-Марс, a new device that is specifically designed to allow several Cosmonauts to go to Mars and bring along everything they need for a Mars Base. It's still in it's testing phase, though. It'll take a turn or two to develop fully if things go well. Hi... I'm going to be... Brazil... President of Brazil You are now the President of Brazil. You have 10 tons of Feijoada at your disposal, and if you use 10 tons of Feijoada you can make a significant advance in any field you think of. You can also build your first factory for free. > Build a new Umu factory with the help of the moais (this should reduce cost, right ?) You build another one and have to use 2 fewer tons of Umu to build the Factory because of the Moai's assistance. You managed to cover the cost of the new factory by the 2 tons of Umu the new Factory produced, leaving you with 6 tons of Umu at the end of the turn. Time to find out how many Hommel MK.1's I can get for 1 ton hutspot You get roughly 3 Hommel MK. 1's for that.  Suddenly, you receive a call from a man calling himself Stan on your official government Skype Account. Do you choose to accept it? Oh, cool, I didn't realize I still produced resources even when I don't participate in the update. In that case: > Invest 10 tons of ribel into secretly developing a mind control serum to mix with the ribel I sell. You do so, leaving yourself with 7 Ribel. It seems like the other countries surrounding you, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, seem more willing to negotiate stuff with you. Perhaps you could try to earn something from them. Before anything else, I shall order the first (free) lihapullat factory constructed. I shall invest 5 tons of lihapullat into meatball-mixing training, hopefully improving our lihapullat production rate. 2 tons shall go into the beginnings of a second factory. 2 more tons shall be sent off to the schools, to improve the daily life of our students! This will surely have long-term benefits in terms of research and science. The final ton will be sent off to the labs, in order to research more optimized seasoning techniques. I will also send a diplomatic communique to the governments of both Koreas, formally extending my nation's apologies for the aftermath of the Finno-Korean Hyperwar. The optimized seasoning techniques and the advanced meatball-mixing training have resulted in the creation of an HYVÄLIHAPULLAT (Good Meatballs), which is 1.5 times more effective than standard Lihapullat. Your funding to Education is going to benefit you somewhat. In roughly 10 turns new scientists with an improved education will reduce the cost of research by a quarter. You create the HELSINKI FACTORY and TAMPERE FACTORY. They altogether produce 4 tons on their first turn open. Your communique slightly improves relations with both Koreas, although they still seem bitter over this ancient feud.

Canada would like to build their first factory (for free) since I don't think that we've done that yet. I would hate to miss a production cycle because we *forgot* to make the factory. . .
Prime Minister Tim would also like to dispatch envoys to both God-Emperor Joe (Lichenstein), and the God-Emperor of Finland. Both will be given a chance to discuss and evangelize for the tenets of their faith, and allotments made to open up "branch" churches in Canada, if the people are willing. A minor tax would be applied, but this opens up new avenues for their faith to spread. This is certainly a cornerstone of religious-political coexistence, and absolutely not a shallow chance to see which of them has the fancier hats. Rumors of Haberdashers and headgear enthusiasts rushing to the capital have been greatly exaggerated, and only a fool would believe them. Given time, Prime Minister would like to ask both of the God-Emperors to bless the staff and crew of the Space Program.
Tim looks down at his desk, covered in letters. His hand was cramping up. He didn't expect politics would involve so many letters and papers and *writing*. Ugh, if only he could get more office staff, they would be able to write letters for him! Brilliant. Satisfied with himself, he orders some takeout. As the delivery man arrives and hands him his Saucy Noodles, Tim invites him inside, promises to get the payment and tip, and seats him at the desk. Suddenly Tim whirls around and joyously shouts "Congratulations on the new job! You're part of my new Diplomatic Corps, and the good news is that you now make triple what you were making. You'll get to see the world, meet interesting people, and learn some new languages. You will, incidentally still have to deliver food here, because those noodles are delicious!"
Prime Minister Tim then sets about dictating letters to him for the rest of the night. (willing to spend .25 - .5 kilomoneys (on loan or future banking) on expanding diplomatic capacity, as he pressgangs random visitors into cushy government jobs) --> Finally a demand for English Degrees!
Finally free of the burden of writing down what he actually means when he speaks, and the tedium of spellcheck, Prime Minister Tim extends an offer of scientific cooperation to Russia, offering space launch capability at discounted prices. Colonization of other planets is a lofty and noble goal. While we feel that it out of our grasp at the moment, we welcome another explorer. May our labs work together and bring us into the future! (Offering to begin sharing partial space ability with Russia)
At long last, Tim meets the delegation from the Supreme Ruler of Antarctica, which is to say, he meets Isaac. After the very formal greeting ceremony of shaking hands, apologizing, being deadlocked whilst holding the door open for each other and insisting that "No, you go first, please." and then apologizing about that, they get down to business. "Isaac, I admire your efforts to build renewable energy infrastructure. Not only is it sustainable here on Earth, but it could also be useful for our Space Program. I would like to let you know that Canada would love to have access to your Solar Power. In return, I'd like to offer to build a solar magnifier in orbit to increase the solar energy you receive, if you'd be interested?" Deal offer -> Share Solar Energy for possible future project to multiply solar energy?
Unrelated to the issue of sharing technology, I'd also like to offer to enter into a trade pact and general defensive pact with Antarctica. Together, we can have a stabilizing effect on both Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and boosted trade between our areas of influence! Deal offer -> Trade Pact / Defense Pact (Antarctica)?

Deal offer -> Share Solar Energy for possible future project to multiply solar energy? Hmmm, I'm going to need enough power to make it through the dark season, but as long as I invest in more solar energy by then it should be fine even with this deal. Very well then, ==> Isaac accepts the solar energy sharing treaty with Tim.Deal offer -> Trade Pact / Defense Pact (Antarctica)? For unstated reasons, ==> Isaac accepts the Trade Pact/Defensive Pact with TimAnd now for my own agenda (time to begin plan "Antarctica, Population > 1"), I would like to propose a separate treaty allow for the free immigration/emigration of people between our countries. ==> Deal offer -> Migration Treaty between Canada and Antarctica? |

Ah, let's see... let's keep working on our Mars rockets! You do so. With the Super-Vodka you produced this turn being supplied to the scientists, they are able to finish testing and have finished the Soyuz-Марс! Space is at your fingertips. You also receive a message from Canada, offering scientific cooperation and space launch capability at discounted prices. Do you choose to accept this? Of course, unless I'm busy with something extremely important like eating herring with onions I'll always accept calls from my good buddy, cousin, godfather and brother in law Stan. (BTW How many tons of hutspot do I have?) You hear this on the line: You currently have 14 tons of Hutspot. build their first factory (for free)
dispatch envoys to both God-Emperor Joe (Lichenstein), and the God-Emperor of Finland. ( willing to spend .25 - .5 kilomoneys (on loan or future banking) on expanding diplomatic capacity, as he pressgangs random visitors into cushy government jobs) ( Offering to begin sharing partial space ability with Russia) Deal offer -> Share Solar Energy for possible future project to multiply solar energy?Deal offer -> Trade Pact / Defense Pact (Antarctica)? You build the Toronto Factory and receive your first two pounds of Maple Syrup you produce from it. You also dispatch these envoys and offer partial space ability with Russia. You do not currently have any Kilomoneys to expand diplomatic capacity, but you can gain them through selling resources. You also receive word that Isaac has accepted the Solar Engergy and Trade / Defense Pact, and has offered a Migration Treaty between Canada and Antarctica that allows for free immigration and travel between both countries. First... I will create an atomic bomb. Also, I will build a factory and raise civilian taxes by 5%. That will teach them! You spend your 10 Feijoadas on building a supply of Nukes, which can now be shot someplace. Be warned this will severely damage your relationship with whatever country you do so on. The people seem a little irritated at the tax, but you're gaining 0.1 Kilomoney every turn. > Spend your Umus building a huge temple to the Maori gods with the help of the Moai. Pray for MORE Moai.
You create a temple with your Umus. After praying there, they seem pleased with your offerings and several more Maoi seem to wash up from the sea and onto the beach. And now for my own agenda (time to begin plan "Antarctica, Population > 1"), I would like to propose a separate treaty allow for the free immigration/emigration of people between our countries. ==> Deal offer -> Migration Treaty between Canada and Antarctica?You offer the Migration Treaty. > Ensure production of extravagant hats as to better impress our potential Canadian ally. > Offer a meeting with the leaders of neighboring countries (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland), for general negotiations, and potentially a defense pact. Treat them to some ribel at the meeting, secretly imbued with the mind control serum. > Create a new ribel factory; two if I have enough spare ribel left. You create a workshop to create some extravagant hats for Canada for 1 Ton of Ribel. This workshop produces 1 Kilomoney each turn via selling the hats. As you offer the meeting, since they're already kind of mind controlled, they accept your offer for a meeting and are now waiting to hear what you'd like to discuss. You also create the SCHELLENBERG FACTORY.  You gain 2 more tons of Ribel . I made a miscalculation earlier, your current inventory is 10 tons of Ribel and 1 Kilomoney.

Excellent! I'm just going to refer to them as "Finnballs" since I am bad at Finnish.
- 1 ton of Finnballs shall be put out to the market, to foster trade ties. Prioritize relations with our fellow Nords in Sweden, Norway, Iceland, and Estonia.
- 2 more tons of Finnballs shall be put into workers' benefits. Finland cares about its workers! (also, hopefully, foreign workers will be attracted by the prospect of delicious meatballs...)
- The remaining 1 ton shall be put into military R&D: developing the pride and joy of the Finnish Army's special forces - Ski Infantry!
Accept Canada's offer. We don't actually have a church, but I'm sure the nationalist-LARPing types will be happy to go over and proselytize!
I will also send another communique, this time to the above-mentioned Nordic nations. I will offer a free trade agreement, with significantly lowered tariffs for trading each of our respective national resources.
