[Govt of eBelgium] New Ressources in eBelgium ! (updated)
eBelgian Presidency
New types of Raw Materials discovered
Starting today, all the regions will offer a medium production value for all the resources but every region will be rich in one (and only one) resource. The available resources will be: Grain, Fish, Fruit, Cattle, Deer, Iron, Aluminum, Oil, Saltpetre, Rubber.
How will the productivity work for raw materials?
If, for instance, a country has at least one region rich in Grain, all the Grain companies in that country will get a 25% bonus in productivity. If that country looses the Grain region, the companies will stop getting that 25% bonus. The same rule applies for the Iron and Oil companies.
How will the productivity work for food & weapon companies?
All the food companies will get a 5% bonus for every type of food resource that your country has in its regions! The food resources are Grain, Fish, Cattle, Fruits and Deer. So if your country has at least one region for every of these resources, the food companies from your country will produce with 25% more! Of course, if your country has only 3 regions with rich resources, the bonus for the food companies will be 15%.
The same applies for the weapon companies. The raw materials for the weapons companies are Iron, Aluminum, Oil, Saltpeter and Rubber.
How about the other industries?
Hospital and Defense System Industries will be removed at a later date and we will pay compensations for these companies.
Moving tickets, Housing, Stone and Titanium Companies - will be the first companies (and for a period of time the only companies) that will have access to the future new industries. We will let you know soon the details of the migrations.
Does this give a big advantage to big countries?
Not quite, because the best strategy is to have at least one region that is rich in one particular resource. The goal is to own all the 10 different types of resources in your regions. And the new allocation of the resources is set up so that no country has in its original regions more than 5 types of resources. Sure a small country like Singapore who owns only one region will have only one resource (unless they conquer more regions).
This sounds quite complex. How it affects me?
Well, if you are a simple 2 clicker you shouldn't worry. The thing that you should know is that it would be great if you could help your country to conquer regions that offer different types of raw materials. It will help your country's economy.
If you are a company manager - almost the same. Depends on the industry: Owning an iron company - you will want the Iron bonus. Owning a grain company - you will want the Grain bonus. Owning a Food company - you will want as more food resources. Owning a Weapons companies - weapon resources.
Politician/leader - well, here is a little more complicated, as you will have to decide your geo-politics strategy so that your country will own as more types of resources. We won't teach you how as for sure you will find the best ways.

Update :
I have a grain/iron/oil Raw Materials company in a region that doesn't have anymore grain/iron/oil as a resource. What should I do?
Check if another region in your country has that resource. If it has, don't worry, you get the 25% bonus.
Well, it doesn't.
You will still be able to produce the raw material but you won't get the 25% bonus.
But I want the 25% bonus.
Then wait for a few days as we will offer the possibility to move your company from a different location or from your organization to your citizenship country. And you will get also a bonus for that!
Neah, I want the bonus faster. How can I get it?
Normally, your country neighbors should have at least a region that is rich in grain/iron/oil. If your country conquers that region, you will get the bonus.
I'm still not happy!
Damn, you're difficult. In a couple of days we will put live a small tool so that you can change the industry of your company. This means that if you have a grain company it can be transformed into iron or oil and vice-verse. Analyze this very well because that tool can be used only once for that company. This tool will be available only for grain, iron or oil companies and, in order to avoid any problem, you will be able to own more than one company on the same industry.

For our citizens who have more questions about it, i invite them to read the linked forum thread where the admins have already answered to a bunch of questions...

Ok, I made a plan, we rent a grain region from France (they have plenty)
We rent an aluminium region from Germany (they have plenty)
We rent oil from the UK
And we rent Cattle from The Netherlands
Then Belgium has 7/10 regions
How much will this cost? Not so much as the regions are pretty useless for the real owners, and it could be a bargain to rent them
UK has no oil
We have Iron in Wallonia, Fish in Flanders, and Fruit in Brussels.
So, +10% in food, +5% in weapon, +25% in iron...
At least now iron should be profitable in eBelgium.
\o/
And we rent Cattle from The Netherlands
We rent an aluminium region from Germany
hmm we can have a try with these idea's
It will be interesting to see how the company migrations work. Looks like we have some planning to do!
Renting region is to costy at the moment imo.
wow, this is a huge change ... gonna check soon what resources they've made in low amount. Good to know that raw iron is now something interesting for belgium ...
Mais b****, je fais quoi de mes licences moi?
Je me les mets dans le c***?
La Belgique est envahie.
Que deviennent les compagnies belges?
Great change for eBelgium... finally...
This will result chaos in the world... Than when we get used to, they will change again...
eFrance and eGermany have the three types of raws we have, so they have no reason to look hungry our way. eUK doesn't have fruit, so if they would like an extra 5% food production, they could start taking Brussels (or Northeast of Ireland and Shannon) into consideration (I hope they won't, though). The eDutch might fancy the idea of having our iron and fruit too, but they don't really have the power to take it.
the admins failed again, I'd say. How much is fruit present in the region of Brussels???
I think the idea of renting regions could be achieved, but let's face it - we have and MPP with USA and this will for sure make our offer less acceptable. Besides, can we really afford to pay a high price? I guess not, but could be a possibility that we would need to join Fenix. Let's not forget Germany was giving away already Hamburg region to Slovenia for quite some time before Slovenia (and the Hamburg) got erased by eden-Croatia. As far as I know Slovenians got the region without some lease, they just needed to cover the expenses to get there. I might not know the details or the deal behind all that, but I'm sure our government can check that.
So the foods company in eBelgium will get a 10% bonus.
And all iron company will get a 25% bonus.
Long live eImperialism!!
Tiltas, were Germany and Slovakia official member of Phoenix?
Belgium is not...
And what is your point?
BELGIUM IS OURSSS>
