[MoE] Country Administration and Mechanics

Day 1,944, 15:27 • Published in Ireland Ireland

Hello eIreland,

One of the most important things for the population of a successful nation to have a grasp of is game mechanics. The Country President and Congress are the two mechanical bodies that decide, through their powers, the direction of eIreland's alliances, wars, and taxes. By extension they are the teeth when it comes to our foreign affairs, economy, and defence. Here in eIreland we refer to them as Taoiseach (Country President) and Dáil (Congress), but this mechanical system of administration is the same throughout the New World (eRepublik)

Congress members are able to make the following proposals:

Change Taxes

Adjusts rates of taxation for income taxes, imports, and value added. Cannot be lower than 1% or higher than 99% for Import Tax or VAT, or 50% for Income Tax. Raw materials have no VAT. Requires 50% of Congress votes to pass.

Donate to Organizations

Transfers currency or gold from the eIrish treasury to an organization. During the twenty four hours when the voting on this proposal is occurring the amount of funds to be donated is frozen and rendered unusable. Requires 50% of Congress votes to pass.

Issue Money

Takes gold from the eIrish treasury and replace it with money at a rate of 0.005 gold per 1 currency. Requires 50% of Congress votes to pass.

Adjust Minimum Wage

Changes the minimum employee salary that can be given by companies to employees. This cannot be lower than 0.10cc. Requires 50% of Congress votes to pass.

Declare Natural Enemy

Sets a neighbouring country as natural enemy. If passed by congress eIrish citizens recieve a +10% bonus while fighting against their natural enemy. This will also start a free war against the natural enemy nation. Requires 50% of Congress votes to pass.

Impeach Taoiseach

Removes the President and replaces him with whichever previous presidential candidate received the second-highest vote score. Requires 66% of Congress votes to be passed.

The Country President is able to make the following proposals:

Alliance

Signs an alliance with another country. Both countries must accept the law and pay 10000 local currency. The money will be taken from their treasury. Alliance will last for 30 days. If there already is an alliance, the current alliance will be extended with 30 days.

New Citizens Welcome Message

Changes the message that new citizens recieve when they register. This message cannot be longer than 2000 characters.

Trade Embargo

Stops all trade between eIreland and the target nation for 30 days. The embargo is based on citizenship. If your citizenship country has a trading embargo with country X, you will not be able to sell products to country X's markets regardless of where you currently live.

Air Strike

Allows an airstrike against a nation that does not neighbour eIreland. For more information on how airstrikes worked see here.

Declare Natural Enemy

Declares war against another country. It costs gold equal to 200 + 10% of the number of citizens who are level five or higher in the attacking nation. War can only be declared on a country who eIreland shares a border with. The declarer has 24 hours to attack, before they lose initiative (allowing the other country to attack).

Propose Peace

Brings an end to war with a target nation. A sum of gold can be demanded by the proposing nation to be payed as terms for peace. Once the proposal has been passed by the congresses of both nations the war will end. If there are any ongoing battles the defender will be declared as winner (note: the Campaign Hero Medal won't be awarded).
