I love world games. Join me!
I really love world games, it's because the map is round (no corner powers) and you have neighbors all around you that you have to befriend or strategically piss off. The balance of the map is reasonable and is compensated by the added challenge of neighbors360. What's not to like?

Approximately what percentage of players on this site are female?
Also, have any of the males pretended to be female to gain trust or to keep from getting stabbed?

Sorry if this has been asked before.

South China Sea: Chinese new island land reclamation
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-35031313

Thoughts? What are the Chinese preparing for with all of this land reclamation and military expansion? Is this purely defensive? Or may this be leading to military action?

If you actually live in China, as I had for 4 years, you will see that the vast majority of people don't care one bit about democracy so long as they remain economically prosperous. The Chinese people are grateful towards the Communist Party for improving their standard of living. The one thing that they are unhappy about is the present block on google, which most people living in cities know how to circumvent via proxies.
Is it that they don't care, or that there is a social stigma against showing that you care? What surveys are there that show that? Because there are hundreds of Chinese students in my program, and you can't really get one to say they are "grateful" to the CP. They're mad about the internet restrictions. They're mad about the corruption (even though many are children of corrupt government officials, as they have told me). Most I know are trying to live in the United States after they receive their graduate degrees. See? I can use personal anecdotes as evidence too.

Frankly its a hard question to accurately answer, since nobody can really trust data produced in China, and international organizations are severely restricted/monitored in their operations in China

Yeah but GF, you are taking the biased sample of Chinese people who don't live in China; they had to make a choice to leave...

It is clearly not representative of all chinese people.

Chinese people are more satisfied with the direction their country is going than citizens of any other country. You are brainwashed by Western media into believing that China's government is oppressive and totalitarian.

It's really that the Chinese just shut up about the things they don't like. So naturally, all they say is praise.

I'm curious about the 30-point jump in national satisfaction between '02 and '06. Especially since *personal* satisfaction did not see a corresponding rise, at least in the cited pdf. China has strong fundamentals, to be sure, as an industrializing economy in rapid growth. But that was true in both time periods. Were people just really happy with Hu Jintao's government compared with Jiang Zemin's?
leon1122 (190 D)

I don't know about that. I suppose people are just naturally pessimistic about their financial situation. It could also have to do with the 2008 Beijing Olympics and China's stronger stance abroad.

What's better:

So should you name the person who designed it or the company for which the designer works?

Created a new webdiplomacy.net app for the smartphone

Its really simple, anytime you join a live gunboat, you set an alarm and it reminds you "hey dumbass you joined a gunboat". Then you play that gunboat from anywhere on this amazing thing called a web browser. It comes standard on most phones and its really cool.
I get live updates straight to my phone anytime on webdip by just refreshing the page. You can download this free app simply by going to www.webdiplomacy,net and logging in on your phone!
