Started a new campaign as Tokyo.
The starting debt is almost 1.9 trillion.....
Isn't that a little bit much....
As far as i know most of the industrialised regions begins with apx
500 B debt...

BTW did some search through the campaigns
and the Russian regions do not start with any debt....

Is the WM Russian.....

Thought we fixed the Russian debt twice already!?!

...I'll fix it again, it's entered wrong in the Configuration file.

As for Japan, this comes down to a bit of a design issue. If you check CIA factbook, Japan has a GDP of 3.745 Trillion. They also have a public debt of "164.3% of GDP (2004 est.)" so almost 6 trillion. We divided that amongst the four regions. However, no amount is given for "external debt". We've reviewed some of what they mean by each of those values and have been starting to use just external debt as total debt. For many of the regions (particularly Europe) we added public+external=debt. I'm not too concerned, Japan has such a strong economy that you can easily manage their debt.

yep u can pay off the debt. I managed to do it in 5 years. Course there's alot of ppl in Japan hating me still with all the high taxes and no social spending. But actually its possible to do it in 5 years without extreme spending cuts or 100% taxes. Just haven't tested it yet.

Hmmmm.. i think it will be possible wthin 3 years...
I will give it a try soon...
(no reunfication)

Best shot till now:

3 years and 3.5 month......

I think it could be done in 2 years and 8 months.
So if you have nothing todo tonight... try it...

Cheers
