How would that even work? :p


How big is this underground area? I'm not sure I've seen it described.
I imagine it's not large enough to build actual factories in (for electronics, motors, etc.)?
It has five levels of around 12 km² excavated, with you only using two. There is room.

Because, as it turns out, testing range requires space. Also, the scientists got bored and decided to dig because they could. The minerals were a bonus.

Did Wei Cai find the fucking geofront?!

Oh, wait, the IT facility is probably just disguised as a room-and-pillar iron mine. It was probably even excavated with Iron Tiger based machinery.

Its very much the latter. Ever seen a large underground mine?

Pretty much that. Lotta space, lots of pillars.

...kinda like Moria, now that I think about it.
 
One thing I would like us to look into eventually, a new TV program that pokes fun at the absurdity of corporations in capitalist societies. Basically Dilbert but with a more Eastern name.

Maybe a sitcom then? Or a mockumentary series? Or we can do a not-quite-adaptation of 1984: Capitalism Edition. Instead of Big Bro Gov, we can get megacorps ruling the world and filling everyone's life with colorful ads.

"Tired of all these ads? Purchase premium citizenship now and get rid of them! For the low, low price of $1,999.99. Monthly!"

On a meta level think of The Office only with extra back biting and bickering over who gets the big raise only for the show to reveal its 3 extra pennies day.

Edit: at the end of raise episode its revealed that the entire conflict was a scheme by managment to torpedo the workers unionizing by making them distrust each other.

I don't think The Office would land quite the same way in the mid-70s. The neoliberal turn just happened so the late stage capitalist awfulness is still embryonic.

A pointed critique of Japan's labour practices on the other hand....

For some reason puppet show is the first thing I have in my mind.

"Ungrateful Sato, why aren't you working to death like your coworkers, you bring dishonor to your ancestors!" said a chicken puppet.

"Oh shut up no honor Daisuke, my ancestors wanted me to live long and prosper not stashed away where the sun don't shine. Hell even Gunagchou have better working condiction then here, that it I'm moving to Gunagchou." said a duck puppet.
 
Oh yeah, we need to start OHSA so we stop losing skilled workers to industrial accidents.

Also, you know, people dying in industrial accidents is also bad... from an ethical standpoint.

You guys wanna do some PSA skits instead? How to Conduct Oneself on the Factory Floor, How to Report Suspicious or Malicious Activities to the Authorities, How to Respond to a Workplace Incident…

Pretty sure we're not doing those yet. At least on TV.
 
Just a few more clarification questions:

What does the +Allies tag mean?

How would the political consequences of the statistical bureau work?
