It's not like turning a "nation" into an inRP indestructible boxer gives incentive for pvp/rp.

No, you're not making Rheinland a delusional land of lossers.
Enlighten me about the lore of Vanilla Rheinland, please. How many battleships did it have? Was it... 7? (what a nice mythical number) 8? I'm sure Westfalen didn't have to rent out a few decks to Bounty Hunters. Nah, certainly not. But really, refresh my memory, I'm all ears.

Rheinland, as explained by Laura, has the most capable industry in Sirius and the machinery to push for it. The only handicap that it faces now is the high percentage of jobless people due to the previous economy colapse during the Liberty war because hurr durr no trade, which isn't a thing anymore (the trade has been resumed and the relations with Bretonia and Core have been improved). The so called revolution (which has nowhere near as many resources as the lawful Rheinland has, nowhere near as much military power and nowhere near as much support as the Rheinwehr despite Wesker's missleaded statement) has oorply gained popularity, sure. That's about it. I invite everyone to read our roleplay and event threads about Operation MRGA, which we will hopefully resume soon.
You do realize that you too have "opinions". Or is it, perhaps, that I didn't get the memo and your opinions are automatically considered facts?

This translates on 1000kg of metal being cheaper to buy and sell, but having a greater % of the net profit of the company going to the state in the form of taxes.
Antigerman? Seriously? Maybe we have a problem if you consider anyone questioning the current narrative of Rheinland as antigerman. Are you implying that there is a sort of anti-German inRL grudge reflecting in-game? Because I don't even want to know what certain people's sensitivity on Rheinland-related in-game matters would mean for their inRL personalities -- if we accept your notion that the in-game image accurately reflects RL.

That's a cute taxation reform you got going there. As if any a sensible firm couldn't under report their profit and declare that they are operating with 0 profit and 0 loss. But that's not the point.
Ok, we get it. Rheinland stronk no matter what.
Also, regarding LWB... did they get rid of Synth Foods yet?
