                               Command : REPORT

NAME
   report - List all countries and their status

Level: Basic

SYNTAX
   [##:##] Command : report <NATS>

The  report command displays a list of nations in <NATS>.  It shows their sta-
tus (in-flux, visitor, active, etc),  and  their  estimated  tech,  education,
research and happiness levels.

If  <NATS>  is  a  country name or number, it will only display information on
that country; if <NATS> is * then information on all countries will be listed.

An example of a report command for the country "Froom 93" would look something
like this:
   [##:##] Command : report *

   This is how the ranges are determined.
   (1) If your value of the statistic is 0, then n/a (not applicable)
       will be printed in that column.

   (2) If the value for both countries is > 100, then shift them down so
       the lowest one is at 100.

   (3) Each of the following tests is made in order.  As soon as one of them
       is true, then  that will be the range for that statistic:
         2.0 * yours < theirs
         1.5 * yours < theirs < 2.0 * yours
         1.2 * yours < theirs < 1.5 * yours
         1.1 * yours < theirs < 1.2 * yours
         yours / 1.1 < theirs < 1.1 * yours
         yours / 1.2 < theirs < yours / 1.1
         yours / 1.5 < theirs < yours / 1.2
         yours / 2.0 < theirs < yours / 1.5
                       theirs < yours / 2.0

   (4) Once the range has been determined, it is shifted back up to where
       it should be.

   (5) There is a "minimum range" for the different characteristics:
         tech: 20
         res:  10
         edu:   5
         hap:   5
       If the distance between the high and low end of the range is smaller
       than the "minimum range", then the range is expanded (equally in both
       directions but never crossing zero) to be equal to the minimum range.
       However, it will never be expanded beyond twice your value of that
       statistic.
