So the German corps own all the POCO's and charge outrageous taxes, and the American Corps own all the Carriers and Cap ships needed to defend them.

So exactly what do the Germans spend all that tax money on if it isn't defense?

These German corps aren't in an Alliance called NATO are they?

Not a secret army navy and airforce build in Austria using Soviet iron, no Sir

Really? A traditional German dumpling or noodle.


I'll make a note of that to try, next time I'm over there.

So that's a traditional Bavarian sausage made from minced veal and fresh pork back bacon with mustard (Senf). Sounds good.

I actually went out for a day with a Bavarian in Crete, nice girl. Bavarians come across as quite proud though. This one didn't consider herself German, but Bavarian.

Kind of like me not considering myself British, but English.

Having said that: RL German tax rates are higher than those in some English-speaking countries. This presumably influences the perception of what a reasonable tax rate is in general.


ROFL! Functional infrastructure and efficiency! Well, let us agree that everything is relative...

Yet, me too I think Germans are used from RL to pay high taxes, --- and to receive nothing in return for it. Besides having their income heavily taxed, they happily go along with a 19% VAT.

On the internet, you can be whatever you want to be. It is amazing that so many people chose to be stupid.

While I believe germans have a certain proudness built in,
bavarians indeed are bavarians, not germans.

They're also much closer to being austrians than germans.


They just happen to have pulled the ass-card, having to stick with the piefke.

Don't worry, Australians call it the same thing. We call it that though because it's ****-weak.

Fosters is an export brand, and it's as terrible as VB. I'm talking about Carlton's range, and Crown Lager, and other quality beers produced in Australia that rarely make their way around the world.

Actually, a US-based member of my alliance says they have Crown Lager where he lives which really surprised me. He confessed on coms that it's one of the best beers he's ever had, and didn't expect that from what is technically a lager.
