ADP - Guide to Govt Dept's

Day 2,440, 03:58 Published in Australia Australia by Send love to Plato


So, you are wondering what does each Government Department do in eRepublik? Well hopefully we at the Australian Democratic Party can help enlighten you to the roles and expectations of each Department.


Country President

Your President is elected on the 5th of each month and like the real life equivalent they have the final say on the running and appointments on the Departments below. In times when we are not wiped off the eRepublik map they have to work hand in hand with an elected Senate to help the running and defence of the eAustralia, however when we are wiped then the buck stops with him/her. Senate can propose many laws for voting in eRepublik but when we are without regions then that becomes the sole responsibility of the President which is why it is vital the country should elect active players. Presidential elections for Australia are on the 25th of each month, and the Australian Democratic Party ballot each member via private message for your vote on who you want the party to back in the elections.


Department of Defence

The Department of Defence (DoD) is the Government department that is entrusted with the defence and liberation of Australia and her regions. They communicate with other countries DoD's with regard to coordinated strikes and wars, tactics and directing damage to our allied nations. Working with allied Defence Dept's is vital because if we don't give help then we can not expect any in return. The Dept of Defence are the guys n' gals responsible for communicating with our nations top Military Units so we can all operate as one, with one common aim and one common goal, however as each Military Unit is Independent (apart from the Australian Defence Force) then that has been a task that has been difficult when previously attempted.

Sometimes when Government finances allow they also run supplies on IRC (Usually called a 'Call to Arms') so that our fighters have extra weapons to fight with in Important battles.




Department of Foreign Affairs

Another major Department whose job it is to liaison with other Foreign Governments, whether it be with Alliances and their meetings or arranging Mutual Protection Packs so Australia has allies on the battlefield. Our friendships and relationships with many countries is vital and you will find our MoFA spending long hours in PM's and on IRC trying to make sure we are well represented in the eyes of the world, this has been a task that has taken many long hours behind the scenes in the previous few months due to the revival of eAustralia. The discussion and detailing of Non Aggression Pacts (peace treaties) are also the domain of the MoFA which takes a lot of patience and diplomacy.

The MoFA also likes to keep the Government and cabinet abreast of all the latest news and developments around the eRepublik world some of which impacts upon our alliance - LETO.


Department of Education and Entertainment

A Department designed to help aid retention and keep players entertained in eAustralia. Sometimes they will publish competitions and lotteries for our citizens and sometimes they will provide educational articles so young players can learn the game mechanics and understand how things work. Of course the Australian Democratic Party series of Guides are meant to work hand in hand with the eAustralian Government guides.

An Important and under rated department as we all need a little respite from the likes of regular invasions from Chile, FYROM and Indonesia and this Is what this Department does.


Australian Defence Force

The official Government Military Unit that supplies all Division One players and sometimes those fighters outside Division One depending on the allotted budget, of course the ADF has changed a lot over the years but sadly this has been enforced on the ADF due to financial restraints. However if you join and complete your daily orders (25 kills per day) then you receive supplies that the Government of the day has financed which are sent to you via the ADF Commander. In previous times you were required to sign up to an out of game forum and attend a 'roll call' but the ADF has been modernised and this requirement was dropped.

The ADF Marshal and 2nd Commanders are responsible for setting daily battle orders for all ADF members.





Department of Finance

An Important Department that monitors our Governments finances and keeps Ministers accountable, the Minister involved has the keys to the Reserve bank of Australia and previous Finance Ministers used to present the monthly budget proposed by the President for Senate to vote upon and only upon acceptance would the Government be allowed the requested finances...this has recently changed. The Departments job is now to monitor transferred funds and to present a financial round up at the end of each month that includes all in goings and out goings so the Senate and the Australian people know there is no financial irregularities.


Joey Development Scheme

A scheme created to help young players by providing free gold when they complete certain tasks, this is designed to help them upgrade their training grounds, which in turn helps making them stronger players that benefits Australia on the battlefield.

The scheme has changed many times mainly when the eRepublik admins change the mechanics of the game which is why it has such success due to never standing still, and it is a system that works so well it has been copied in other countries.



ASIO

In times where eAustralia has a senate then this dept is responsible for monitoring, researching and interviewing all new Citizenship applicants to our nation. Each Senator has a set amount of Citizenship passes but eRepublik has a history of foreign nationals flooding countries with an attempt of a hostile take over. The ASIO Dept will ask all citizenship applicants to fill in a form where upon a background check they will advise Senators accordingly with regards to the applicants suitability.



Well we hope that this has cleared up a few things for you with regards to the roles of Government Departments, we know it can be frustrating at times when there doesn't seem like you are being informed...but usually behind the scenes there is a lot of work being carried out for the benefit of eAustralia. In the previous few months Departments have been more active as eAustralia enters a historic and golden period of activity from a long decline of inactivity, the Australian Democratic Party are proud to say we were the leading light in our nations revival.
