Well, I'm a biochemist but I can't make bioweapons. I guess we need proteonomics specialists, immunologists, virologists, pharmacologists, etc. to make our tool and the antiviral.

We'll also need some mercenaries/soldiers/security experts to keep the population of our chosen shithole from rebelling against its puppet leadership when the benefits/money dry up.

We need engineers and other scientists to help plan out projects once the goal has been accomplished.

We need economists and mathematicians (not bankers) to help us sell off the oil/whatever resource with maximum efficiency.

We'll need the best covert operations types to manipulate global affairs in our favor. High prices for our resource and minimal interference in the affairs of our chosen puppet nation are key.

We'll also need to establish banks (legitimate institutions) to house the money and run investments.

>The ultimate goal is to abandon the puppet nation.

Once it's been sucked dry, we declare the undersea and space colonies to be a Confederacy of Free Republics. Unified military forces, foreign policy, currency, etc.

We base the currency on energy. One unit of currency is pegged to a given amount of kilocalories.

We provide the world with clean energy from reactors and solar powersats we operate. We make them as dependent as possible. We also provide an alternative reserve currency.

We export energy, advanced materials, weapons (2nd rate for us, the best for the rest of the planet), pharmaceuticals, bioproducts, industrial robotics, domestic robotics, engineering/design expertise, etc.

We import talent and naturalize them as citizens. It should be every scientist/engineer's dream to one day become a naturalized citizen.

Yes.

Yes, pic related.

No, but psycho-history is.

/sci/, would predicting historical events be possible if we had a large enough dataset to analyze?
