[MoE] The eWorld is changing...
Ministerie van Media en Recrui
Dear fellow eDutchmen,
As some of you might have noticed, the times are changing. In this article I will try to forecast some of the changes, and explain their influence on the eWorld.
A long time ago the eDutch economy went to some drastic changes. The main production of 3 regions changed. This resulted in our independence from the ePolish empire, since we didn't produce the oil they needed so badly any more.
Another change in economy is expected. The government is currently seeking for new methods and technologies to produce new goods in eNL. Their goal is to produce resources that aren't very rare, to prevent big countries from invading us for these resources.
Currently industries are allowed to open factories all over the world. I expect this will be prohibited. As a result people will have to choose were to place their companies. So no longer travelling around the world to seek the best bonuses. Once you have settled your company in a specific region, it will benefit from the bonuses from the country that controls that region.
Region specific taxes will be introduced, and in the far future there might even be regional governments with representatives in the national government.
This could result in high taxes in newly conquered regions and more regional politics.
Another tax change is: there will be taxes on all revenue, including medals and combat orders. So governments will earn more.
Due to weird travel zones, travel companies will probably changes their prices according to real life distances between places.
And the last predicted change will be an increase in fame for those who fight in very closely contested battles. They will therefore receive more prestige.

So governments will earn more.
Big countries. small countries like eNL will probably see a big decrease in monthly income.
Why? Compared to other countries, yes. But the total income will increase.
well i doubt that very much.
Nothing is certain indeed. But I don't see why an extra tax on medals & CO could decrease the budget, or am I missing something?
companies basing in 100% bonus countries. aka nobody will ever produce/work in a small country like any more. so no more income that way.
Ah, I see. You might be right about that. I hadn't looked at it that way.
@odan: inplying that we have any big producers at all. If anyone wanted to have bonuses they would have left already (and the big producers obviously already did, I can't think of a single big eDutch Producer) I doubt that anyone can just set his factories in Serbia/USA just like that, obviously there will still be requirements. In that context nothing much changes; in fact, it will be harder to move from the eNetherlands as companies' location will be fixed.
I think you're being way to pessimistic with the little information we have.
You think we will be allowed to located our weapon factories in emg. US and keep the food compaanies in NL? That way we can still keep sime tax income and enoy bonuses 🙂
why would you want to have companies in enl? they will never have 100% bonus.
to generate tax income 😛 I don't care for the 20 extra food
\o/ interesting news! Nicely written Gwom 🙂
