[MoE] The eWorld is changing...

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.
Resource Wars

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.
Multinationals Prohibited

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.
New Tax System

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.
Travel & Prestige

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.
Sincerely,


Minister of Education
