Factions?

Now I could be wrong, I haven't looke dup the exact demographic numbers recently, but I believe that is a mischaracterisation. China's gender imballance was made much worse by the one child policy, now that policy is no longer in place but its effects on demographics still are and will be for a generation.

And, completely separate from gender imbalance, India's entire population as a whole is much younger than China's. That is the big demographic advantage India is said to have over China, not just a greater abondance of women.

Thanks for reminding me about the one-child policy. It is still in place, but there's a lot of exceptions.

It applies only to the Han majority in China, but somehow China's accused of some kind of genocide against its other ethnicities. Even the Dalai Lama stops at saying China's engaging in "Cultural" genocide, and not running around murdering all Tibetans. I don't support any kind of genocide, cultural or whatever, but you'll see no such distinction in media.

The policy also doesn't apply to urban couples who are both only-children, nor does it apply to the rural areas, and couples who's first child is a girl are allowed to have another child too.

Also, you're right India's entire population is younger. I'm focusing on the gender imbalance, which is present in both countries. If we're talking about economic advantage here though, it's funny, 67% of Chinese women are in the workforce there, but only 33% of India women are in their workforce. So India might have more women, but it's not like it's really an economic advantage to them.


But anyways, my point was, India deserves a fair chance at being the China like power in Generals 2.

That was good, then again India is going to need alot of definitive units and I can't think of any. Real or fiction.

Yeah, India would be great.

I think it is odd that somebody (I forget his name) said earlier that India can't be a super power because they have no domestic defense industry, (even though they buy shiny now Russian SU-30MKI's and PAK-FA is funded by India and India is going to buy them.) but South America IS viable becaus ethey bought some weapons from Russia?!

India could use their LCA fighters, and run around with their Arjun tanks. This being 2030's, they get Russia's T-50's too. Truthfully, both LCA and Arjun programs are overbudget, late, and chock full of foreign technology. But they still count, and they're not really terrible weapons in and of themselves.

(Also, Rusia's programs, including the T-50/Pak-Fa are funded by any money the Russians can get. That means money from their arms and oil sales. The former of which China is a pretty big contributor. So think of the irony, China's inadvertently funding the development of a competitor to their J-20. .)

We also offered to sell them F-16's and F-18's, and hinted at possible future sale of the F-35. SOld them billions in airlift planes (C-5 Galaxies?, I forget), naval patrol/ASW planes and air launched anti sub torpedos. Bunch of good stuff.

We really got the short end of the stick when Russia supported India and we supported Pakistan just as a reactionary counter move...

The South Koreans actually have a pretty decent defense industry too now, they do a lot of work with US and German Companies, google the K1 "baby Abrams" and K2 tanks.

They would make a cool subfaction. Make a pacific faction with South Korea, Japan and Australia? Korean tanks, Aussie Special forces, and Japanese Gundams? j/k

[Plrsvek]

I wanna see an evil USA for once, its never been done before because they are always the good guys...

I'm telling you man, North American Imperium is where its at. Need new uniforms and decals too.

[EddySaf]

You were kidding about the whole India and Australia thing right? Otherwise i'm worried about you.

Alex has got a point, look who attended the Sixth East Asia Summit and it's been in the news around the world. Also there has been terrorism activity in this part of the world.
