***Israel's national economic commission and new avatar for the army***

Day 859, 12:15 Published in Israel Israel by Sadeh Badeh
Hello citizens of eIsrael,

Long time for now I am talking about making national tax commission.
The reason for that is our taxes and overall economic direction need to be well thought by the people in order to max the potential of taxes in our country.

The truth is that changing of taxes in 5% most of the time won't lead the country from falling apart to the mightiest kingdom ever, and barely change anything.
I hope that the commission will make people understand that the taxes are a basic guideline for the country's economic needs and not a lot more then that.

Suggesting reducing VAT from 10% to 5% won't make any business rich all of a sudden and won't make people to buy fewer goods.

Few days ago I had great idea which I published over FXP (Hebrew forum) to see if it will really change anything.
The idea was simple:
In the game there are 3 industries- Land, Manufacturing and Construction.
Until now, for over a year more or less, our country used only one industry really- Manufacturing.
I think it simply happened because without durability for houses the construction field is pretty much dead and limited, and Land is something we just don't have in Israel.
So there you go, country runs on 33% of overall potential industries in game.
Not just that, but most of the companies in Israel are opened by relatively new players or people with low source of income, which made almost all of the companies in Israel- Q1.
So there you go: 3 fields, 5 qualities, and several different goods in each, got narrowed down to 1 field, 1 quality, 4 goods.
Now when you read about it and think a bit, do you realize why our economy looks like that? I bet you do.

Now, not like most of the people representing problems- I got a solution 😃
What is it? You ask?

The very first idea popped to my mind was having higher Qs of companies, to create more competition reduce prices of goods and increase salaries.
Problem: people in Israel have poor income for long long time, which means both the people who buy good and the people who sell them won't be able to deal anytime soon with high Q companies.

So, another 2 minutes and it suddenly hit me:
Most of you heard about the fact all the construction goods from V2 will have durability and even now the hospital rule makes houses very needed.
I quickly shared my mind with FXPers telling them I am not 100% positive that the solution for the problem will be it, but it's definitely worth trying.
Two days past and there are already 4 new construction companies in Israel, Q1.
I told them it is best to make Q1 and train as much noobs as possible since it will make more of them high skilled worker in future, and then they can start moving to higher Qs of houses.

As you might be able to see by looking at our job market, that’s a HUGE success.
I never saw such high salaries for skill 0 or 7 in Israel, especially not in construction.

What does it mean?
It will sure take few weeks to balance the prices in Israel, and salaries, but it will happen.
As for now the government does not need to operate government owned companies for new players as they get much more from others, and other business managers are starting to think about opening more houses companies too!

IT WILL DAMAGE the manufacturing industry for a while, since they won't have any new workers soon, some companies will definitely try to take advantage of that, means the import taxes on good should be reduced to level where businesses from abroad will make sure the companies here are not charging too much.

After the salaries in Israel will increase for enough time and people will have more money, people will be able to consume and open companies of higher Qs in both fields.

I really hope it keeps going that way and believe we have the power to change this country; we just need to do the right thing.

If it will really continue that way the only thing we need to worry about from now on is having enough people in Israel and increasing the population 😃

So, lots of talks, now time for actions:
Enlistment form for national economy commission:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=dE15LTNabkJtT1ZuejRrNFd3cE5NZ3c6MA
Feel free to fill the form, if you don’t know anything about economy I am not sure its best for you to participate in that commission, maybe observe to learn but I really think its best for those who really understand the game's economy to take part in that commission.
Where will it take place?
Everyone who sign the form and get accepted will be granted access in the national forums in the presidential section in a special forum just for the commission.
IDF new logo suggeste😛
After talking a bit with Maelyn I suggested making myself new avatar for the army, we have the last one I showed you which is… OK, but not a lot more then that.
Many people complained that it’s a bit too immature and so on.
So I figured making avatar which is basically frame to the picture you want is good since everyone can keep their "identity" and feel as free man in army they want to serve in.
New avatar:

(I can also add some sword going from the background part of the David star and get out from the bottom part of the David star covering some part of its bottom)
As you can see the bottom right side of it is empty, over there we will put the IDF ranks of the different soldiers.
If I get a go for that I will start making that, but if not its just waste of time to show you that.
Basically it will be like I suggested before:
Where C equals to crossed swords and L equals to leaves:
General->C+2L,Charges of each entire branch C, Charges of platoon 3 L, Charge of deployed squad 2 L, Charge of undeployed squad L.


That’s all for now, have good day!
