Talk:Ceorana
Hispanics as whites in demographics
While I agree with your classification, in the RL United States this might prove controversial, where Hispanics if not Spanish speaking people (not quite the same group, but nearly so) are classed for bizarre (to me) reasons as non-whites. Possibly the confusion comes because most "Hispanics" are mestizo (no doubt horribly misspelled), i.e., a Spanish creole-Amerindian métis.
Are you a European or Australian? Or p'raps a fellow Canajun (I noticed your Nordique reference, but the last part of the French eluded me). Ignore the question if it makes you uncomfortable, or replay in a private NS TG if you like. Moi, je suis canadien, blanc, masculin (À noter: pas mâle!), ayant une trentaine ans, et un Baskin Robbins (en anglais: Heinz 57).
- Le nordique est de ret used to be a country in a region where Ceorana resided. Of course, the founder of that region just sort of left, so we had to move, and he quit NationStates.
- I fixed the thing with Hispanics as whites: "Non-Scandinavian European".

The founder of what region?--207.200.116.134 18:54, 19 March 2006 (GMT)
- See History of Ceorana. The region was Unification. Ceo \ rant \ rave 19:18, 19 March 2006 (GMT)
Infobox
Ceo, I hope you don't mind if I use your infobox formatting on my nation's page? --Lloegr-Cymru£ ¥ 02:25, 28 April 2006 (GMT)
- Not at all. In fact, the whole thing is copied verbatim from Wikipedia. Ceo \ rant \ rave 02:38, 28 April 2006 (GMT)
- One last question on this, I promise. Where did you get some of the numbers such as surface area? Did Domnonia provide them? Again, sorry for the pestering. Feel free to archive this once I leave you alone. --Lloegr-Cymru£ ¥ 03:13, 28 April 2006 (GMT)
- I took Dom's scale, roughly measured my nation in the GIMP, multiplied L x W, and then multiplied by a random number that is very close to one with lots of digits to account for anamolies. It's doesn't perfectly correlate with the map, but it's good enough for my purposes. I can always just say I've got a whole lot of small islands that boost it up some ;). 03:48, 28 April 2006 (GMT)
Human Development Index
For your information, if Ceorana were resident in Forest your index would be .825, using the Forest HDI formulae and NSEconomics data. Fortunately, none of your raw data lie outside the min and max figures for the Forest region so they can easily be plugged in.
This is lower than the figure you calculated using your methods back in May. Given that Ceorana's GDP per capita, as calculated by NSEconomics, is on the lowish side (US$4,431) compared with the highest in Forest (US$31,950) and that GDP is the most powerful driver of HDI then I think it is a reasonable figure.
In any case, HDI is a relative measure between nations so a result by one method in one region cannot be compared with another method in another. It might be interesting (but I couldn't be bothered doing it) to apply both formulae to the same group of nations and see whether the order would be the same. Willd 17:23 24/06/06
- The number was calculated using CHDI formula. It is out of date, but I haven't gotten around to recalculating, which takes a bit of effort. I'm planning to skip the June update and just do it again in July, since I've kind of missed the deadline for a June update. Ceo \ rant \ rave 17:03, 25 June 2006 (GMT)
