Talk:A World of War: World II (Map Game)/@comment-26044830-20160419032421

Realised Ethiopia has less internet than what I've expected (but still, aristocrats and other rich shit in Ethiopia don't deserve to know clickbaity articles). I gotta justify using data, my "predictions" from that data and what I've thought its going to be in the map game

2013 data from Wikipedia


 * Somalia: 153,774
 * Ethiopia: 1,783,663
 * Eritrea: 56,103
 * Djibouti: 75,259
 * Total: 2,068,799

2020 (what I think it'll be IRL without conflict using 2013 version)


 * Somalia: ~250,000
 * Ethiopia: ~3,500,000
 * Eritrea: ~80,000
 * Djibouti: ~120,000
 * Total (UPNA): ~3.95 million

Using this for the "2016 live version", which should be semi-accurate

Total: 4,642,689
 * Ethiopia: 4,288,023
 * Somalia: 192,775
 * Eritrea: 56,728
 * Djibouti: 105,163

2020 projection (my pov using numbers above)

Total (UPNA): ~7.74-8.687 million
 * Ethiopia: ~7,300,000-8,200,000
 * Somalia: ~230,000-240,000
 * Eritrea: ~60,000-76,000
 * Djibouti: ~150,000-171,000

What I've thought UPNA has in the map game (since 2019 without Ethiopia and the possible annexed part land of South Sudan)

Total: ~19.325-25.83 million
 * Ethiopia: ~17,400,000-23,600,000
 * Somalia: ~1,025,000-1,125,000
 * Eritrea: ~400,000-545,000
 * Djibouti: ~500,000-560,000

Conclusion: Although Ethiopia and the other states included in UPNA may have internet and could be only confined to government and few civilians, but it doesn't mean their "Second Firewall" will just be cut immediately, they would still work on it still but not as much as expected (since many civilians of UPNA still use TV and newspaper for daily news). When Kenya is annexed, the firewall could work a little bit more effective to them since their penetration rate is quite higher than Ethiopia or other countries that are part of UPNA. I'll start use the 8.7 million one by the next turn and promote "Internet" to get what I want.
