There has been a lot of talk lately about prices within Canada and complaints about our taxes increasing prices and all manner of things related to such. As such, I just spent the past four hours putting together the information below.





Because I know pictures are always a possible problem here and can’t be tinkered with easily, I also have the link below which you will have to copy and paste into your browser, since erep links don't seem to work with google doc links. You can also right click and click view image.

Country and population should be self evident. 1 gold = is the current trading rate for gold. 1 Currency is currently how much gold you get per 1 local currency. Salary is the current highest salary. Salary as gold is what that salary translates into gold wise given the current trading value. Q5 tanks represents local cost for a Q5 weapon and similar for Q1 food. Q5 purchasing represents how many tanks you can buy with your salary and Q1 purchasing represents likewise with Q1 food, and both take into effect the gold rate, not the local currency rate.

Colour rankings for the tanks and food are as follow. Bright green 1st to 10th, light green 11th to 20th, bright blue 21st to 30th, light blue 31st to 40th, bright yellow 41st to 50th, light yellow 51st to 60th, red 61st to 69th.

There are currently 69 countries in the world.
Canada is currently ranked 30th in the world in regards to population
Canada currently has the 29th highest salaries as expressed in gold in the world
Canada currently has the 25th cheapest tanks in the world as expressed in gold
Canada currently has the 21st cheapest Q1 food in the world as expressed in gold.

Population dictates a large amount in regards to prices and such in the world, which therefore reflect salaries, as such given that Canada is currently trending in all 3 above our current population rank, we are doing quite well in the world. This only becomes even better when one looks at the fact we are still in the process of regaining our regions and competing against many countries with far more regional bonus’s than we have.

So the long and the short of it all is that we are doing quite well economically, especially given most prices are trending back downwards after the rise from the VAT increases, likely settling at prices similar to their pre VAT increase rates.
