This week there has been a lot of debate over taxes, especially work taxes. This debate is more than a 2-sided debate, so I will try my best to describe all of the facts. Two key numbers proposed are 8% and 10%. At the time of writing the work tax is 10%, but some would like to see it lowered to 8% to allow citizens to make some more money when working and not have as much go to the country. Those who believe it should remain at 10% believe the country needs more money. This may or may not be right considering we have just finished training war with Ireland, and the country also wants to build up funds for a “Nest Egg” which is, simply put, a sort of savings just in case we are invaded.

Approximately a week ago it was announced that Argentina was going to let go of some of Ireland’s border so that Canada and Ireland could have a training war during the Regiment Rumble. To do this successfully, the first two battle had to be lost so that Canada had some land to fight for. Unfortunately, even with being told not to fight for Canada, Canada managed to still win both battles. This means that we lost our opportunity for a training war during the tournament and will have to settle for allies’ wars.

The next presidential elections in eRepublik are in 3 days, and then we will choose a country president for Canada. The two notable candidates this month are DMV3 and Mann551, who are currently the only ones who have posted their platforms. DMV is more experienced, having been CP 4 times before, and is the current CP. His platform is based on 3 princibles; Engagement, Leadership and Activity. Mann built his platform addressing his plans with money and the military. Although he isn’t as experienced as DMV, he does claim to have lots of time to play the game, which would result in more dedicated time to lead the country.

Recently congress has been under a lot of criticism because of its inactivity. Activity in congress is looking optimistic, but since Rylde’s dictatorship congress activity has been lower than what is expected of them. Of course this is probably not Rylde’s fault, and he has also created a new party, which you can see below, which ran the most seemingly active congress group of the top 5 parties.
