Title: [MoEd] Political Spectra - Country President, Congressional Leaders, and Political Parties



Greetings eUK! This is Alexander Atem bringing you an update for the Ministry of Education! Today we'll talk about the Political Spectra and the differences of each area for the UK.

If anything appears to be wrong, or needs to be adjusted, please let me know.

| Politics

The Political Module can be described as a daily job in eRepublik. In the UK its vital in every form. In perspective, it's where citizens can run and serve their country. The module tends to re-create the reality of political ideologies from RL from Far Left, to Mid Left, towards Mid Right and Far Right (lulz). Nonetheless, both Ideologies are conquered by the mechanics of the game itself! The ideas, the influence, and the encouragement needed to bring the community together can be achieved by a Country President, a Congressional Leader (whose very active) and a Party President.

| Elections

An important Date to Always remember is: Voting Day! The three elections that happen throughout the month are Party President Election, Congressional (Congress) Election, and Country President Elections (CP Elections or Presidential Elections). Note that you must be level 14 or higher to vote.

Party Elections

Party President Elections takes place on the 15 of each month. The members of a party may vote for candidates who are running, and may represent the ideologies that their supporters innovate. It is possible for supporters of foreign citizens to take control of another political party to gain control (This is known as PTO or Political Take Over).

Congress Elections

Congressional Elections takes place on the 25 of every month. Although being part of the top 5 political parties gives an individual - running for congress - a higher chance of being elected, anyone can apply to take part of Congress. A campaign for Congress tends to usually start from the 16th and end towards the 23rd. On the 24th The Party President chooses the final list of Candidates, and can also put them in any order he/she wishes (May differentiate by party principles). Each Congressional Victor who receives a medal gains 5 gold. However When a Dictator is installed within a Country (such as ours) the gold is not distributed, nor handed out (It is not by default or mistake, it is the bylaw of Dictatorship).

| Country President & Elections

The Country President Elections occur on the 5th of every month. Voters choose one candidate - usually the candidate that their party is supporting - however, have the decision to choose from the other candidates. Qualifications involve the support of at least one political party. As a candidate, it is optional but given that you must set goals, that you will accomplish during your tenure. Most importantly a CP is based on his Leadership Capability; leading his Ministers (Cabinet) and the Programs that he/she will want to do. It's not mandatory, however, it's essential to have a successful platform to win the elections.

The Country Presidency is a title like none other (apart from Dictatorship) that holds a gargantuan responsibility. Congress has the option to impeach the President if they see that he/she is not capable of leading the country. By default, the candidate that took second place in the election will become the new Country President.

| Parties

Political Paries are a group of participants who organize and structure their community and encourage positive reinforcement with one another to pursue a career in Politics. An individual may create their own Political Party with Gold (once they have leveled to 16), or the most common practice is to join a Political Party that already exist. In the UK the Top Ten Political Parties are:


(Forgive me if it seems bias, I have no Intention in being so)

Active membership in the party tends to vary and not to mention that the Party depends on the innovation, from new ideas presented by active members, which are voiced throughout the political spectra. The Party President (or simply called PP - Party President), can propose a candidate list for the Congressional Elections, and can propose who the party will support from a general consensus of the party's members (Depends on the PP, or the overall party). Throughout time, each political party has its own means of communication, and participation when it comes to their own ingenuity and form of discussion from IRC to Ingame Messages. Any is acceptable.

| Congress

The Congressional body of the country can be said that it has a "higher influence" in the game. Congres(wo)man can propose laws and vote (This applies if a Dictator is not installed within the Political Spectra and Military Spectra). The Congress(wo)man can also accept foreign citizens to become citizens of their country. However the majority of participation and running for congress is due to 5 Gold that can be obtained if elected (However, again it does not apply if there is a Dictators installed the country).

President Impeachment
While it Requires 66% of Congress votes to be passed, Congressional leaders must have a valid reason for doing so - not mandatory, nor a requirement for game mechanics - however, questions will be raised by fellow congressional leaders.

Change taxes
Taxes can not be lower than 1% and higher than 99% (for Import Tax or VAT), or 50% (for Income Tax). Raw materials have no VAT.

Country donations
The transferring of money or gold from the country's treasury to an organization. During the twenty-four hour voting period, the proposed currency due to donation is "frozen" and is rendered unusable.

New citizen fee
Change the amount of money new citizens will receive from the treasury as startup money. Can not be lower than five (5) units of local currency.

Minimum wage
Change the minimum employee salary given by companies. Can not be lower than 0.10 units of local currency.

Issue money
Take gold from the treasury and replace it as money. Includes paying a transaction tax of which is deducted at a rate of 0.005 gold per 1 unit of money.


Natural enemy
Members of congress or president can propose neighboring country as their natural enemy. If agreed, a free war will be started by the natural enemy. The posting country citizens will get +10% bonus while fighting against their natural enemy.
