What Can we do to get this into the 30's sustainably or get our prices of food down to make it more affordable to live?

Food prices are too high or wages are too low for the newer player to fight sustainably currently.
I believe this is something we need to seriously look at.

Maybe aim to get our food prices down a bit. Thus, I can bring down the import tax.
The Prime Minister would be responsible as the accountant to make sure funds are divvied up appropriately.

Military Funding

Support one Military Daily or Weekly.
Make sure that all players who fight are compensated in some form from the revenues.
This would be proportional to the number of fights in the day.
For instance, a player accomplished the mininum of 25 fights.
The total fights from the military was 250.
The person who hit for 25 fights, would get 10% of the funding received from the government.
This would be easier to track daily, so that accountability would be easier followed.
This would be tracked by the Minister of Defense.

General Funds

A healthy balance and a steady flow of income with a proper management of all treaties is essential to the health of our country.
The more people who spend money and contribute to our economy, the better.
For the communes, we may have to look at the VAT tax to encourage wages. Unsure on how raising this with lowering income tax would help though.
However, creating buying demand in our market may be necessary. I noticed the prices of our weapons are on the high side.
To create more revenue, I might increase import tax temporarily to bring down the price of food and weapons.
For a healthy market, we need to ensure that our nation is able to compete on the global market.
Right now, I can buy food or weapons from other nations for a lot cheaper than here.
Our population base might be a factor, and we need to come up with some boom incentives to grow our population base without endangering ourselves of a PTO
The larger our population, the less likely a successful PTO will be.

The Full Moon Cometh! Strength and Honour!
