[##:##] Command : report <NATS>
The report command displays a list of nations in <NATS>. It shows their status (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 *

2 Artifax 0 - 147 79 - 99 0 - 23 0 - 9 In flux
3 Billy 0 - 137 79 - 99 0 - 23 0 - 9 In flux
4 CCCP 150 - 200 120 - 150 23 - 30 20 - 25 Active
8 Khazad'ur 86 - 108 120 - 150 23 - 30 12 - 17 Active
9 Lorphos 96 - 121 120 - 150 0 - 23 12 - 17 Active
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.
