was just kinda curious about them because i thought about creating a clan and hiring people to play countries. don't think there is anything explicity forbidding me to hire people to play, but if i was going to do it, i'd probably want to get my money's worth. can't hire US workers because they'd form some kinda union and jack up the hourly wage to astronomical proportions, plus they'd probably want health care. so i sorta figure it'd be best to find some poor heavily populated country with adequate infrastructure for them to be able to do the job and legally receive payment.

under Economy, Population below poverty line:
"note: 21.5 million rural population live below the official "absolute poverty" line (approximately $90 per year); an additional 35.5 million rural population live above that level but below the official "low income" line (approximately $125 per year) (2007)"

hmmm, so if i paid 250 of them $2 per year to play Earth:Empires they would get a 2% raise in their income?

21.5 million people in the world live off of $90 a year per person?

$10,830 vs $90. i think our poor people are a tab bit expensive.

if they try to unionize, fire them.

people should be lining up to be PAID to play a game... :p
