eUK economy [3,114]
Mr.Razor
Hello eUK people
Iv recently joined the game so idk really whats going on here and gov.
I know mr.woldy is dictator and controls all but i don't know the cp is along with him or not.
However he is in charge !
I don't know if we have Ministry of Economy or not.
So im asking of government
Why we have 4% work tax for all items that applies to our production when we have less 1000 population and 5% VAT on food and 3% VAT on weapon that will be 9% of food production cost and 7% of weapon production cost!
And import tax as low as 1% isnt weird?
I know we have less population than other countries have especially eastern europe countries (poland,serbia...)
And also less production But our production is good enough so we really dont need many imports as much as what is in our market you could see there is very much imports in our market
That really sucks, uk citizens now struggling to have a sale on market and they forced to put products for a less price and have loss!
After all i dont know really whats goin on !!!
Does a group controling our country ? That theres benefits for them in our market and gathering from taxes?!
Or theres a mafia? i dont know people.
But i know theres something that we need to find out!
Due to new economic upcoming updates
After this resource wars we have to company placement
- company owners will have period of time after resource wars finish to site their companies in the physical (ie pick a region)
- A citizen can split their companies into multiple regions.
- A citizen isnt bound to put companies in the nation that matches their citizenship.
-companies can be moved, but there is an unknown restriction that will be placed on this.
Certainly it will cost money.
Production after resource wars will be calculated as follows:
Total national bonus (of country owning the region) plus part of region bonus minus
Pollution factor, based on the number of "works" that occurred there the previous eday.
Source:https://forum.erepublik.com/index.php?/topic/4727-resource-wars-update-with-questions-and-answers/page-2
It follows then, the maximum national bonus is 100%(all five resources) and the maximum region bonus is 90% (common,uncommon,rare and very rare) the proportion of region bonus,and the effect of pulltion is at this stage unknown.
What should be obvious to all of us is this: eUK citizens are not bound to put their companies in eUK controlled regions.
At current tax rates, each WaM by click of eUK citizen earns treasury 4 GBP.
By contrast to pick an example Poland charges same work tax as uk does but our bonuses may be slighty lower than Poland and eastern eu countries.
But they have 99% taxes on importing products of food,weapon...etc
Its a big difference in governments.
I would like government consider reducing our work tax rates to the interests of not having our entrepreneurs flee for green pastures in next week.
Also we need a raising on import taxs to prevent of big losses.
I don't know if congress could help on this but we havnt clear reports of government that what they are doing.
Or in which areas they spending budget.
Hopefully we can get responses of government.

Comments
We go through this every term you can't strike a favourable balance. People complain we don't have enough money for military and combat orders so we raise taxes slightly and they still complain. Our taxes are relatively low and we currently have a good bonus, they will probably drop after this resource wars event. As for the import of goods we can do that the only problem is the lack of UN industry on certain products, meaning that some may not exist if it weren't for foreign investment. I've certainly seen that before. and often the lowest prices I've seen are imported as opposed to the UK homemade products which are more expensive usually.
As for mr woldy we voted him in and he does whatever the government and congress tel him to
[removed]
In addition
Please tell us which areas we are spending budget?
Which wars?
You already told people that we have many wars
And we need to reduce stright wars
But now we have war against usa and france and you choose to attack netherland?
3 active wars
God knows where to fight
We are stuck in 3 reducing our power wars
And when our profitable RW battles sucks too
Well done o/
we were already at war with the netherlands. they are all training wars so non hostile, simply only for the resource war. Netherlands is being spoken to about ending it. god knows where to fight? Read the mod articles. We are to win USA and France resistance wars, lose the other france and USA battles.
spending budget, its entirely in the MoD this month for weapons, cheap reduced weapon prices, MPPs and Combat orders, not that they have been of much use meaning they will go into next months budget surplus.
There's no fear of our power being reduced, all of these wars are planned and not hostile
o7
Thanks for the response but I can't see anything than congress can do
They havnt even an org account
They cant porpose any law
Or the way i cant see where they porpose it
Iv not seen any article from mr woldy or Either from congress
So this congress and government fails
You cant see people protesting on every article now
They need a responsive government
Have I not just been responsive?
Congress is an entirely separate issue to government. they are free to propose and legislate on any matter they see fit, and if voted through the government and Woldy will ratify it. If they choose not to and their activity is low that's their own fault.
You order to ppl that don't fight in straight battles
We have with usa and france?
And you don't mention to netherlands even
Why when we dont need wars you start em?
Its not like a joke?
By the way we will lose in rw battles
Congress havnt any ability cuz gov not gives em any power
We have a current Congress article open, and there's a new one opened every two days:
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-parliament-30th-31st-session-2599596/1/20
I'd suggest posting your requests for tax changes there as it's Congress that has the power to change that. You may also want to subscribe to that newspaper if you're interested in what Congress is doing as the "Speaker of the House" articles are where all public Congress discussions and proposals are supposed to take place.
iv seen are they proposing laws there?
you clearly are misinformed.
Three training wars, at the time the netherlands TW was coming to an end, which the NL government didn't bring up with me they wanted it to continue, however that war has been going on ALL month.
We do need wars. We are building up domination points to win tokens. Without the wars we wouldn't have any resources at all.
We are to win the RWs except netherlands, and this is how the training war works. We also aren't alone. every country in the eworld has a trianing war or two this month.
Congress has all the ability in the world. But guess what. They don't do anything. It's not a case of government not giving them power they have power. Woldy is literally there to keep the government to account and pass laws that congress pass. I can't do anything without congress approval it's not the other way around. I would suggest brushing up on all this before making accusations. Congress can do anything they like, literally anything. If they choose not to that is their own fault, not the governments. Trust me, I have been a congressman many times myself.
Actully we have many active wars
All of us know its profitable to win rw battles
But we know guys go for BH and win the other battles that you dont expect so having many traning war isn't really good
We can get enough domination with us and france wars
In their regions that wouldnt affect our production
We could of manage wars to not affect our production bonuses
I think today we had very low
If there were any laws that had been proposed, that's where they would be discussed and then voted on. At present there aren't any proposals to discuss, but I agree that we need to take another look at tax rates post-Resource Wars - if you could post there a brief summary of the changes you'd like to see made we can get a discussion, a vote, and hopefully have the new taxes implemented (if the vote is for a change) before the Resource Wars ends.
that comment confirmed to me you know very little about whats going on.
Wars dont affect our production. The resources we have after these wars will affect our production. We have training wars in order to win resources, however we have bad coordination in the UK and have been lucky to get the resources we currently have. After this month taxes will most likely go down due to the resources we have.
Choosing wales as capital
Then we arent affecting our production?
Wales had no connection to other regions
So bonuses were 10% half for today and tomorrow
That shown me lack of
Politics and economic information in gov.
lol we don't choose the capital, it automatically moves when our capital is taken. you could do with a lesson in game mechanics. and it's been unclear to what you mean, yes our production is suffering slightly due to bonus, that is why we lowered the tax rate to compensate, it would have been 6% tax rate.
Our production in the long run is not affected. The training wars have been a neccesity or 6 days from now we would have no future resources at all
You could of change it when before they attack london
If its traning wars so you could of known
Where they gotta attack aint?
I dont talk abt past in present we are not managing to have a good bonus but in the future the game totally will change !
Our bonus for today was very low !
And for tomorrow its low too!
Why usa dont fight us in irland border regions ?
Also france starts 2-3 battles same time
They. Get more bonuses but we get losses
That's all for now.
I've been playing this for years, and TBH I could do with lessons in game mechanics. They're reasonably obscure and it's almost impossible for people to work it out on their own.
As for Congress, we have a lot of laws on the books - yes, there's a site with all the laws on it - so if we're not passing new legislation, it could possibly be because there is no legislation newly needed!
As for the tax rate, those new won't know but quite a while back we had a couple thieving CPs who stole our money, then we were PTO'd by another country, we've been wiped a few times.... every time, to get our country back (or back on track) has cost a ton of money. For a long time we were on an austerity budget (still are, to an extent) so the increased taxes have been used to not only fund the necessities (no frills in the eUK, guys) but also to build up a buffer which is partly held by "Woldy's Angels" (highly trusted citizens, for disclosure, I'm one of them) so they can't be stolen should we be PTO'd again. Which is less likely because we passed, some time back, a very good law which limits the likelihood of traitors sneaking across our borders.
Razor no disrespect but I really can't understand a lot of your comments here. Our production in the short term is taking a hit, and it will be resolved. the wars are a neccesity and we compensate by lowering the tax rate. Im going to bed, feel free to message me or discuss this tomorrow
i think its lack of communication between you and
Usa & france cp to not to cut or regions or taking our capital
To give us a loss
But its days i see they cut between our regions
And we have 10% and 15% bonus on wep and house that we could of keep 20% -25%
As the resource wars started
You could of tell usa and france cp which region they attack
And keep our bonuses as high as 20%
Tell me if ima wrong
Usa could of attack us ln northern ireland or wales or other regions
But it looks more funny by cutting or bonuses na?
Its been long here let people judge between us.
Im not rushing you just let be honest
When france attacked london you weren't at desk
Idk if they think its funny
Well as you've highlighted much will change after the resource wars are over. We have in the eUK what has become a standard rate of 6% WT when we have all our region and bonuses intact - this is reduced to 1% during a hostile war and has been reduced to 4% for the resource wars as some countries should be paying us our WT back that they collect.
My view is that once the resource wars are over and we know just what production, bonuses etc are available we will need to consider our economy management carefully to see what is best for us, 6% may not be sustainable with limited bonuses.
Meantime here is a link to the legislation currently in place for the eUK - https://goo.gl/2GcZc5
Thanks for information
We can put our companies outta
and get more bonuses with same tax
Ain't better?
Also to clarify a point on Work Tax. This is a rate set on the average wage - currently 66.02, meaning at a rate of WT at 4% you pay £2.64 per WAM.
http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Work_tax
If you work as an employee it does apply the same as the old Income Tax and would be £4.00 on every £100 you were paid.
Resource Wars is yet another new and badly-thought-out idea foisted upon us in hopes we will get out our credit cards and hand over our RL earnings to Plato.... frankly, very few have the time or patience to really delve into how it works. Most, like myself, just hope like mad that we have some players who can follow the intricacies of the new boondoggle.
What is really hurting us is that we're very small and have a large percentage of what we call 2-clickers - people who come online, don't interact with anyone, throw a few missiles in a battle and disappear until the next day.
What we NEED is a lot of fresh new players with the interest to learn the game's ins and outs, follow the Daily Orders, grow strong and be ready to fight for the eUK as needed.
Problem is, the game isn't attracting a bunch of new players, some of the older, stronger ones are quitting and most of those who sign up don't stay active more than a few days. I am delighted to see a newer player asking questions and challenging us, it keeps us on our toes and gives us the opportunity to help that new player learn more.
Work Tax is applied each time you "Work", "Work Overtime" or "Work as Manager"
VAT is applied each time a transaction is made; e.g. 5% of the price paid goes to the Government for each unit of food, 3% for each unit of weapons etc.
Import Tax is added on top of VAT for Non-Domestic suppliers
All or Nothing seems to be the preferred Import Tax policy of Congress - 1% means cheaper goods for UK citizens and 99% would mean a protected Market for UK Suppliers however most likely increased prices and good shortages for some items on UK Markets for UK citizens.
What the UK has spent our taxes on can be found here;

+1 on Paul Tyndale's clarification on your point on Work Tax above.
My thoughts post Resource Wars; Unfortunately until we get the lay of the new world it's difficult to be too proactive as we don't know what tax rate will be appealing to those placing companies as we don't yet know what bonuses the UK or our neigbours have, the consequences of pollution.
In addition, "You will be able to work as manager in a Company only if you are located in the Region where the Company is established. If the Company is in a Region (historical or under occupation) of a country that has an open War with your Citizenship Country, your productivity as manager will drop. The Work Tax percentage for WAM (Work as Manager) will be the one of the Country where the Company is located. The tax income will be split unevenly between the Country where the Company is located and the the Country of Citizenship of the manager."

This should also be a major factor for all when considering company placement.
How in Hades does one choose where to place a company? Don't recall ever seeing that option when I handed over the gold.
It is a forthcoming option once these Resource Wars are over. Limited details have been released so far however hopefully the admins will enlighten us soon.
Aaron shouldn't be blamed for anything, the main problem was the previous CP, FightAndProduce, trust me.
No, the problem is Plato.
No, the game is perfect :3
we shouldnt let usa raid into our regions like that
Theres also traning wars between mexico and usa
Usa only attacks two region of mexico in baja and northwest of mexico
Not every region of mexico
Its not acceptable to have these low amount bonuses
While we can discuss abt it on irc with usa cp
But maybe our cp has no time for that
No time for that. Im literally always on irc... never seen you on!
We do have an agreement with the USA on what regions they take, believe it or not.
Why you porposed mutal pact with ireland
When we could of have traning wars with em?
You say we need more wars
So why not with ireland?
We havnt a disciple in our government
As what as been going on MoD that didnt publish orders for whole a week and you as cp
Can you tell me what resources you have got?
Wood 1 , sand 1 , cattle 1 iron 1 fruits 1 fish 3
All very common and common resources at this point
Even countrys like portugal , pakistand ... Etc small countries got better resources as what we have got
because Ireland have been our best allies since long before you were eborn. And if we were to NE them we lose a lot of MPPs that we would have to re propose. That's why not with ireland, or do you want more nations coming around our regions which you seem to hate so much, as they are aleady full with USA ad Hungary and the like.
You haven't a disciple in your government what??
MoD. I know, this I have already addressed and resolved.
I feel you are just bringing up the same criticism and complaint time and time again but worded slightly different.
I don't need to tell you, you just told me xD. Yes, they are common. Because smaller countries like Portugal and Pakistan have greater coordination than we do meaning they can actually time it on irc etc meaning they can go for the resources. We don't have enough people active on IRC to do that.
If you are going to keep bringing up the same complaints but re worded in a confusing and difficult manner I am going to stop replying to you.
I was eborn at day 317 when i dont think you ever heard of this game
I think that all excuses you have been pulling up
And lets see who has complains abt lil population and not organized army
Who should be organize ppl is you
Who should be organized out gus in irc
And battles is you and your MoD
Your period of cp will be remind as a shame on euk ppl memories
In the future you will see that
Aaron if you couldn't manage an army
An organize our tanks
Let it other may can do it
I suggest you to resign xD
lol well im not resigning and ive done the job three times.
I meant your re-e-birth. When you came back mate you clearly know nothing. You want me to organise army and get them all on irc? It's very easy in that position to critisise when you've never actually been on the other side seeing how difficult it is yourself so good luck. This conversation is over. laters
And I recommend lessons on the basic grammatical structure of the english language, not meant as disrespect but a genuine recommendation. It is very difficult to understand a lot of what you say.
Im not typing on desk im on mobile
Stop bullying
Resign aaron o/
Our new motto guys
Xlol
even so, I can at least make coherent sense when Im on mobile. Also, they tried the impeachment it failed. So good luck 🙂
So i sugess you as next cp
Seems your very interested to down with uk
Haha gogo aaron 🙂
My first though was: Leave the game! Don't complain... Just don't bother with this stuff.
But you seem very informed and have read about this stuff, so maybe.. 😉
But don't come into the game thinking you know everything, maybe wait a while and learn why things are like they are, then you can try to change them in the future when you are better known.
i'm don't live in eUk so i don't know..
Who are you
