If we were to build them on wooden planks under the water they wouldn't erode without oxygen, in fact, they would turn to stone in a couple thousand years.

Outer Heaven when?

So what ever happened to the survey team?

Have any farmers or locals been contacted in the last… 9 months?

>>8453

They jumped ship after we were exposed on vice or simply lost interest as things werent happening quickly enough. Not sure what they expected tbh.

Good luck in Greenland, I skyped with the creators of the project back when it was in its infancy to get ideas for getting into Africa. Out of all the /pol/ colonies it has the highest chance of succeeding I believe.

So I'm a swiss guy looking for white societies in europe. Any links or projects I can look up? We're a group of about 10 males and 5 females (three couples). Will now search for the greenland project because namibia is not where I want to die therefore I wouldn't want to set up a life there.

Macroeconomic Overview

Economic Structure and Performance

Namibia is blessed with rich natural resources, a well-developed physical infrastructure and political stability. The country enjoys a relatively high GDP per capita of US$1,810 (1998), four times as high as the average for sub-Saharan Africa, which classifies Namibia as a middle-income country.

The Namibian economy heavily relies on the primary and the tertiary sectors. Agriculture, especially large-scale commercial livestock farming, fishing and mining are the backbones of the economy, while services account for a major share of GDP. The manufacturing sector is steadily growing and is mainly based on fish, food and meat processing activities.

Economic performance in Namibia is dictated largely by external factors like the weather, oceanic conditions and international commodity prices. In particular, world market prices for diamonds and uranium, of which Namibia is the fifth and sixth largest global producer by value, respectively, have a determining impact on the whole economy.

Average real economic growth amounted to 3.7% per year. Real national income per capita expanded on average by 1.6%Â over the first 1- years of independence, from N$4,520 in 1990 to N44,884 in 1999. Current evidence points at prospects for strong and positive economic performance. In particular, growth is expected in fishing and mining output, tourism and manufacturing. The attractive EPZ zero-tax regime has already attracted significant investments in manufacturing and re-export operations.Â

Prices and Inflation

Over the last ten years, the inflation rate averaged 10%. The last five years of the 1990s saw a reduction with an average of 8.3% per year, with a record low of 6.2% in 1998. Due to external pressure, especially rising oil prices, inflation is expected to rise slightly.

Monetary and Fiscal Growth

Monetary and exchange rate policy in Namibia is influenced by Namibia’s membership of the Common Monetary Area. Under the agreement, the Namibia dollar is pegged on par to the SouthPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

NGO/ Int’l Presence: USAID works actively with other donors in key development areas to ensure complementarity and avoid redundancies. With the dramatic increase in HIV/AIDS funding in FY 2004 and FY 2005, the U.S. funded program more than doubled in size, making the U.S. Government the largest and one of the most visible bilateral donors in Namibia. United Nations agencies also play an important role in catalyzing a coordinated response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, supported by the European Union (EU), Germany, Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands, and France. In November 2004, a grant from the Global Fund for HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria was approved, which will provide significant resources for Namibia's HIV/AIDS program.

USAID coordinates with a UNDP-administered Global Environmental Facility project to link protected areas with USAID-supported conservancies. USAID's Living in a Finite Environment activity and the World Bank's Integrated Community-Based Ecosystem Management project were designed to complement each other and to leverage resources. Germany, Sweden, and Finland also are active in the environment sector. The EU has a large rural development project that includes elements of community-based natural resources management support.

Southern Africa prone to terrorism’

ï‚· Southern Times Writer, Windhoek

Southern African countries are vulnerable to terror groups, as many nations lack adequate resources and legislation to tackle the problem, says a new report. The Institute for Security Studies paper, “Organised Crime and Terrorism: Observations from Southern Africa”, argues that the region could be advantageous to transnational terror groups “if it can be used as a source, transit zone or market for high value narcotics” and money laundering.

The author, Charles Goredema, said the region also had widespread poverty, “which is always going to be a breeding ground” for ideologies that advance by violent means. In countries like South Africa, where “there’s poverty, the resources that are not equally distributed feed into an ideology that says, ‘if the resources are much more equitably distributed (through force) the circumstances of the poorest would change positively’.” The region has been blessed and cursed with natural resources, such as diamonds and oil, which have fuelled conflicts like Angola’s now ended 27- year civil war, and were also a lure for terror groups. When added to the burgeoning transnational trade in narcotics, it made a potentially explosive combination.

“Narcotics are known to have been supplied for consumption to some of the perpetrators of terrorism in the subregion . . . They are (also) important for their economic value, like precious extractive resources (such as diamonds),” the report argued. These resources could provide “a relatively anonymous source of revenue, to be used to fund terrorist or related activities”. There was no doubt of the significance of Southern Africa as a source of cannabis for European countries, for example. “It is believed that proceeds eventually follow the reverse path from abroad into Southern Africa in a money laundering cycle,” the paper noted. Arecent study revealed the nature and, to some extent, the scale of money laundering activities to which the entire region was exposed. “Transnational terrorism is . . . bound to find oPost too long.

Political Outlook:

Since its independence in 1990, Namibia has been run by the ruling SWAPO (South West Africa People’s Organization), which in turn was lead by President Sam Nujoma until March 2005. His successor and close political ally, Hifekepunye Pohamba, was elected with 76.4% of the popular vote, while SWAPO won 55 out of the 72 seats in the Parliament. The remaining seats were split between the six opposition parties, divided along ethnic lines, none of whom received more than 10% of the vote. These results were another step in the further consolidation of power both within the SWAPO, as Pohambo and Nujoma’s main challenger for leadership of the party, Hidipo Hamutenya, was marginalized after being removed from the SWAPO election list, and indeed within the country where the ruling party is ethnically identified with the Ovambo people, who comprise over 50% of the country’s population. While single-party supremacy is effective in guaranteeing stability at least in the first few years of a fledgling democracy, as time goes by it increasingly becomes unhealthy for the political growth of a recently autonomous country, as has been the case in Zimbabwe and is increasingly the case in South Africa, where opposition movements are being increasingly marginalized. Historically, this phenomenon leads to political quagmires, corruption, and the increased definition of the state as the party, and vice versa, as well as dulling any effective built-in checks against the executive branch. Indeed, prior to the November 2004 election, state television and radio coverage was disproportionately, if not solely pro-SWAPO. If the status quo is maintained and competition from smaller political parties remains insignificant, the dominance of the SWAPO will reach unacceptable levels and will become a catalyst for grassroots protests and socio-political upheaval as the situation becomes increasingly intolerable. This unrest will be exacerbated by the role of ethnicity in Namibian politics, as any political clash is certain to extend to the countryside and create tensions between communities, possibly resulting in violence through the creation of ethnically-defined armed opposition groups.

Thanks for the information. If one is looking to start a company base in Africa, Namibia is one of the best options alongside Botswana and Mauritius, at least from my own research. The fact that Stratfor considers Namibia to be at risk for massive upheaval and instability is interesting…

>>8432

Added to board announcement.

>>8434

Thanks.

I'd like an explanation. I get the association with the Crusades, and white is of course an appropriate colour for the field- but why a yellow cross? I get that red and black are out (having already been taken by England and Prussia), but why was yellow the next choice?

>>8436

I just thought it fitted tbh. Namibia is essentially a huge desert, and lots of sun. The cross shows the English and christian heritage the colony would have then adapted to the environment of Namibia.

The specific shade of orange comes from the flag of the Orange Free State which we should also remember as an example of those who went before us. OFS was internationally recognised as a country and was an important part of colonial history. We should remember the brave spirit of the Boer who founded it.

The orange/yellow is also a very positive colour and shows hope for the future. or some shit like that.

I'll start

A strong melody, memorable but a bit generic.Not specific to Namibia

This is good. Represents pioneer spirit to me

something like this would be good

Education is a huge part of making a viable society. so science will be a very important part of life. it should be a very respected practice and considered honourable

Well that really does depend. Are you white? You said your parents were born in Mexico but that a generation further back you're mostly Spannish with some Italian blood in you.

You'd probably take the temperature better than most of the European applicants, anyway.

Bootcamp or virtual machine. I would recommend trying a few different distros in a virtual machine to get used to how linux works, what's similar and what's different, etc.

>>6089

Looks like shit. I'd rather something like Arch, but without systemd and maybe an optional install script that will give you some sane defaults (like a window manager).

>>8358

OpenBSD has all that. It actually comes with both fvwm and cwm (an OpenBSD original).

>>2413

>Wanting outdated software

>>1915

You do realize the creator of linux mint and a lot of other distros are based, anti-semitics right?

The only SJW one I can think of is Ubuntu.

Also ships are safe from just about all happenings. You can even build a bunker on some remote island. Absolute security, the only thing better is a submarine but those shots are dangerous without serious engineers onboard. Which you need for the ship too btw.

Bunkers can also be built on the ranch, there's some pretty good low cost options. You can also build some earthbag or cob homes for cheap that are better than wood constructed homes.

Also what if it were a network? People buy parcels all over the world that like minded people from their locality, that speak their language, live full-time on and the ship swings around every now and then and picks them up for some high seas adventures? Throwing some ideas out there.

>>8402

>Northern Arizona

It is pretty free here, but no. Not good enough imo. If you have any sort of gathering the cops will be up your ass quicker than you'd ever imagine.

I like the ship idea, but unfortunately it is not enough. You need land for the inevitable expansion every society undergoes.

fuck our cuck governments, they don't represent us and work tirelessly for our downfall. this is why we have to go.

the afrikaner identity was formed when the original dutch settlers to south africa were abandoned by the dutch government, and so gave up their old identity, saying we are no longer dutch we are afrikaners, we don't speak dutch we speak afrikaans

>>8412

The first recorded instance of a colonist identifying as an "Afrikaner" occurred in March 1707, during a disturbance in Stellenbosch. When the magistrate, Johannes Starrenburg, ordered an unruly crowd to desist, a white teenager named Hendrik Biebouw retorted, "Ik ben een Afrikaander - al slaat de landdrost mij dood, of al zetten hij mij in de tronk, ik zal, nog wil niet zwijgen!"

What's the deal with you guys trying to

>in fucking Africa

why not set up in, say, Austria where it might work?

>>8371

Why, so Western security agents can monitor us? So I can watch the country get cucked by marxist politicians and invaded with immigrants? So I can experience mass unemployment and upheaval during a happening? I am just another white guy in Europe here

>>8371

>why not set up in, say, Austria where it might work?

Because western countries are hostile towards white communities. In fact forming an explicitly white community is illegal in most western countries.

>>8373

Without protection of a western country, good luck when a roving band of nigs come round especially if you got money.
