[4] Can I use my Emergency Services
Yes. They do not need to be constructed in-character, unless these agencies are a branch of the armed forces.
[5] Do I need to purchase Personal Equipment?
No. Soldiers are equipped with body armour and load carrying equipment your real-life equivalent is using. If you like, you can purchase ammunition and weapon ancillaries from other countries.
[6] What is the Catalogue?
A database containing all purchasable commercial and non-commercial products. Each product has a fixed market price (unit cost) which is then multiplied by the quantity ordered.
[7] How do I build a product that is not in the Catalogue?
You don't. Please open a ticket with Community Support for your product(s) to be properly valued. If you find a price online, please include this in your ticket with the URL. You can only request five (5) products at any one time. Opening multiple Price requests is not permitted.
[8] How many Subforums am I allowed?
You can request one subforum every three (3) out of character months. You can do this by opening a ticket with Community Support.
[9] Can I change Countries?
Yes. There are two (2) ways, the first being a Dead Transfer, the second being a Full Transfer. The latter has a £10 surcharge payable here. This is because your military transactions migrate with you, as opposed to starting fresh.
[10] How do you use the Transit Map?
The Transit Map is used to calculate the distance and time between two locations. Larger squares are equivalent to one (1) hour of air travel and smaller squares are equivalent to one (1) hour at sea.
[11] What can I produce?
Without any other in-character agreement you can produce any product your country operates in real life. Roleplayers can product products with a service year five (5) years in excess of the current year and Worldpowers can produce products with a service year ten (10) years in excess of the current year.
