What does geopolitical mean.

I think it means like the socio-economic (dunno if this is a real word) factors....but the word I want is basically the one that means like people's wealth and **** based on where they live.

E.I. People in inner citys are poor while people in BOulder, CO are rich.

What word am I looking for?

By the way, this is for a huge paper that is two weeks late already. Ouch...ha

By the way again, this paper is on the Expos and the quesiton is if D.C. was the right choice for them to move to, and i need this def. cuz well i gotta relate this to geography somehow.

socioeconomic demographics is probably what you're looking for. By the way, this should really be in the OT forum.

Mods, can you please move it there?

Yeah, I posted it there as well, but saw that lots of people were browsing this forum and really wanted an answer, thanks for the answer.

Great dynasty! I'll be looking forward to reading more!

jeheinz72 · 03-16-2005, 03:39 PM

On the edge of my seat on this one. Is there a website I can sign up to be an owner? Possibly help draft a team? Are we picking letters? I'll take the "P" in Geopolitical.

Eckstein 4 Prez · 03-16-2005, 04:42 PM

And I want the second "o!" I'll see if the logo designers can get started on something for me.....

Damn, I was hoping to get the 2nd "o" as a sleeper later on in the draft. I don't want to give away any more tips though, as this is of course a Serpentine Draft.

Yes. Very logical. However, I don't think that this was a wise trade for you to make.

The guy you received is way too old to make an impact on your team. He'll probably retire before he even gets an at bat for you.

I think you should just resign.

I love Geopolitical dynasties, they are so much better than the usual dynasties.

So.. logical, and yet so very wrong.

It's closer than it appears. The VORT (Value over replacement thread) is similar amongst the two, especially when you factor in PISF (Poster Isn't Smart Factor).

This dynasty has rejuvinated the dying genre of the dynasty thread itself!

Okay, here is the second update on the geopolitical league.

One team will be placed in 32 different regions in the United States and other countries, with market size and such set depending on the relative wealth of the countries. However, on each of these 32 teams, only players from that specific region can play for them, and same with the minor league systems.

For example in the California region, that team can only have players that are from California. This is where things get interesting. One of the leagues represents 16 different regions from North America, while the other league represents other countries in the world.

This is just the premise for what henceforth in a new thread will begin to be known as the Geopolitical League.

Watch for this in the coming days......

Is this just for the paper or is this actually going to be a league?
