A Congratulations
March 09 Cabinet
Minister of Defense : Supply System Changes
General of the Canadian Armed Forces : Elite Division and Future Plans
Minister of Finance: Tax Plans & Government Spending
I would firstly like to congratulate Bruck on Prime Minister. It was a very long journey for him, but in the end he pulled through. He worked tirelessly to get where he is now and with no doubt in my mind deserves to be Prime Minister. I hope Bruck continues to work with the PPC for a better Canada. Together we can make Canada a better place. And now that he is elected, a new cabinet is in place. This Cabinet is:
Prime Minister: Bruck
- Deputy Prime Minister: Derakor
Minister of Defense: 1ronman
- Deputy Minister of Defense: Derakor
- Deputy Minister of Defense: Coda
Minister of Finance: Alexander Rearden
- Deputy Minister of Finance: Industries: Miscue
- Deputy Minister of Finance: Shinra: JT Vanguard
Minister of Social Services: Emilio Sanchez
- Deputy Minister of Social Services: Anomander Rake
Minister of Communication and Heritage: Dominik
Minister of Foreign Affairs: Marcchelala
- Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs: Joey Phillips
Minister of Immigration: Mustache Dictator
'Other' Positions:
General of the Canadian Armed Forces: Coda
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As stated above, I (1ronman) am the new Minister of Defense and I am starting to implement my proposed Supply Changes. For the time being, what we supplies will stay the same, but how we supply is going to change. From now on Platoon Leaders will not be submitting supply requests to CND and we ask that NO ONE sends requests in the form of PMs to CND. From this point forward, all requests are to be submitted in this google spreadsheet. Platoon Leaders will submit requests for their members using this spreadsheet: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=cFg5YkFSVEZ4bEZtN2lEdUNEcW56TUE6MA. . With this new system we hope to be able to get supplies out faster, within 2 hours of them being requested. I will work tirelessly to ensure all of you get your supplies everyday. I have also agreed to supply the new Elite Division of the CAF with Higher Quality Weapons, read below for more information.
Now in the near future, a change to what we supply may change, here's my idea (This is all hypothetical and NOT finalized):
Users with: *Edited a bit*
Strength 4.99 and below may purchase Weapons for 4CAD however they will still be supplied 2 Moving tickets per operation
Strength 5-7.5 receive 3 Q1 Weapons and 2 Q1 Moving Tickets
Strength 7.5-10 receive 5 Q1 Weapons and 2 Q1 Moving Tickets
Strength 10+ receive 8 Q1 Weapons and 2 Q1 Moving Tickets
Users with:
In-Game Military Rank Lieutenant-Colonel can receive an additional 2 Q1 Weapons
In-Game Military Rank General-Field Marshal can receive an additional 4 Q1 Weapons
Users in:
Elite Division can receive 3 Q4 Weapons from the Elite Division Commander.
Minister of Defense,
1ronman

The General of the Canadian Armed Forces, Coda is now working with the cabinet to create the Elite Division. Here's some information on the Elite Division and CAF Changes.
Section 1: Implementation - Elite Division
Coda: Implementation of the Elite Division is based on when I get a chance to talk about it with the new Cabinet. We have the opportunity to utilize our soldiers to their maximum potential. Its very obvious that we have VERY dedicated soldiers in our midst and with the help of some government weapons we could actually get some General ranks or higher out of this.
Section 2: Leader - Elite Division
Coda:The platoon leader would most likely be lead by myself and would be run like a normal platoon. Our elites would be supplied through me, and would hopefully be open to more missions. Our Elites would NOT be separated from the other platoons based on the fact we are encouraging teamwork here. They would work with their regular platoons and be in contact with them but would also be involved in the Elite Division.
Section 3: Supplies - Elite Division
Coda: Quality of the weapons will hopefully be based off of our currently stock pile of Q4 weapons. We're hoping to reach a certain amount of Q4 weapons in our stock pile and then after that devote some to our Elite Division. We're hoping the Elite Division will receive 3 Q4 Weapons per soldier plus their regular amount of Q1 weapons supplied by their regular Platoon.
Section 4: Criteria - Elite Division
Coda: Criteria would be previous performance, in game strength, and in game skills. We're going to focus on ACTIVE soldiers who will benefit eCanada in the long run.
Section 5: Plans - CAF
Since the baby boom we have received quite a few active players who show great promise for the Canadian Armed Forces. There have been new platoons activated, new players promoted, and the implementation of a training platoon. We are currently working on training for our new players to encourage players to stick with the CAF and also increase awareness about procedure and how to run an effective platoon. There will also be a change in divisions. I will talk about this at a later time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1ronman has also been working closly with the Minister of Finance, Alexander Rearden to come up with a new tax scheme in the coming weeks.
But for now Alexander Rearden wants to propose the rest of the recent tax scheme. The CFC's Proposed Tax Scheme will hopefully be implemented later this term.
Alexander has also agreed to set aside 30GOLD for Canada to start a battle if nothing comes up of course. If you want war, start donating to Canadian National Defense, once we reach 30 GOLD, we will have the funds available to start one. For more information regarding this, read this article: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/war-donation-system-now-active--743108/1/20 Alexander Rearden has also informed me that Government Spending on Shinra will start winding down and the military Budget will be increased yet again this term. Alexander says "Basically things are going really good and further tinkering isn't neccessary." So there you have it ~
You will see lots of new changes in the coming days Canada, be prepared!

Wow, this coalition is awesome.
Right on!
Change-y 🙂 voted
I like the Elite Divisions because we will finally have "tanks".
lol, who got the Q4's before?
Mustache Dictator already at work as you can see by this org! 😃
I think "elite" division is a good move and understand that cuts must be made elsewhere to compensate. However, what will be the consequences of making new recruits pay for weapons?
Generally, these players have lower skill levels and make less money. They probably struggle to pay for food and houses as it is. Also, why would a new player help a country that refuses to support him/her? CAF is a choice, and one that needs to be encouraged. Incentives for recruitment and retention are equally as important as boosting the elite. Put 1-4.99 on some kind of probation, but let's not undercut our growth. Btw, I will be 5.0 in a few days, so this IS unbiased.
Like I stated its all hypothetical and up for debate. After talking with a few people on IRC, I think we'll continue to give these new users weapons but we may have to make cuts elsewhere to ensure our budget doesn't keep skyrocketing.
Thanks for the reply. Yup, costs are an issue. How about cutting the weapons but ensuring that 1-4.99 have tickets? It's not like they are there to do tons of damage. With a guaranteed ticket they have no reason to miss a battle and get more experience. Being left behind would probably lead to resentment or apathy.
I understand the concept of Special Forces and that our experienced troops need to be supported - but the system as proposed will exacerbate the current undermanning of the CAF.
I'm not so bothered about being issued weapons - CAF has to balance efficiency versus budget - but if I'm being told I have to pay to deploy, that's the end of my military career.
The recent deployment already cost me plenty - having to resign from the job I held at 5 CAD and returning to a minimum wage paycheck. Being a grunt in the CAF is baffling as it is - short notice deployments, an arcane supply system and confused and disorganised training - making us pay for the privilege seems incredibly short-sighted.
I voted for the Bruck expecting a renaissance for the fighting man - this proposal was NOT the Cistine Chapel I expected.
Did you read what I said in a comment up there..
"After talking with a few people on IRC, I think we'll continue to give these new users weapons but we may have to make cuts elsewhere to ensure our budget doesn't keep skyrocketing."
Just because our focus is military, doesn't mean we are gonna throw our whole budget on it.
sounds good
I don't want to make this any more contentious than it already seems to have been perceived to be, but I DID read what you said.
That's why I said that I didn't think Weapons were as important as Moving Tickets to the lower ranks. How effective we are when we REACH the fight is less important to me than whether or not I get to go there at all.
I'm well aware that you're juggling finite resources to achieve your priorities. But the first priority of an undermanned CAF has to be recruitment, retention and training. Elite units are nice, and a vital part of a fully featured military - but let's take care of the bread and butter issues first.
nice. voted
