Essay on Population


The "Theory of Population" of Thomas Malthus published in 1798 demonstrated his concern about the social issue, aggravated by growing poverty of the working class in England. He said the population grew geometrically (1, 2, 4, 8, 16 ...), while the means of subsistence grew arithmetically (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ...), which resulted in misery and poverty.

Malthus was against any government intervention to try to resolve the problem and stated that it would only serve to stimulate population growth and worsening issue. For him, nature would be tasked to solve this problem, because it increases the mortality due to hunger.

His theory could not resist the advance of mechanized agriculture or to individual methods of family planning. What would be the implications of it in eRepublik? As in real life proved to failure?

The populations of different nationalities in eRepublik have no natural growth, linear or predictable. Depend on external add (paid or not) and also the person to person chat to continue to grow. This device is extremely susceptible to alternate periods of peak growth, both high and low. In some cases even declining population.

The challenge is, as in "Theory of Population" Malthus, create conditions to support all this extra quota of peak growth, the famous "babyboom".

In order to find ways to sustain the current babyboom Our congressmen have much to discuss, not without strong resistance, approving a significant package of tax increases. Income tax of Land (oil, diamonds, grains and iron) will increase from 1% to 5%, and Building (Hospital and Defense System), will go up from 1% to 3%.

The extra revenue will be used to extend the current subsidies to all new citizens, keeping State businesses running, sometimes without even having profit; continue or perhaps even increase the distribution program army weapons. Since Brazil definitely takes its leadership role in ALA and, respectively, will act more frequently in the military scenario.

Finally, our population may even grow exponentially, but rather the "Theory of Population" by Thomas Mathus, we need the hand of a strong state or misery and poverty will laid among us.

POLITIC
What Happens in eBrazil


The only Brazilian candidate to the presidential elections, Bunaly (U😎, was declared the winner with 1586 votes or more than 70% of the total, against 338 votes of the runner up, Ryan Burnett (PR). As might be expected, the irreverent representative has declared himself &quot😉on Bunaly I, Constitutional Emperor and Perpetual Defender of Passwords, Grand Duke of Gauteng, Lord Protector Temporary Venezuela & Peru."

The actual congressmen (November / December) did a really good job! Through a serious and organized, have agreed by the majority and managed to pass the unpopular but much-needed package of tax increases. It was a tough battle. To get an idea, during the 23 days of the current administration, no fewer than 42 previous attempts were rejected!

Thoroughly analyzing the period were adopte😛 11 donations, 7 MPPs, 3 emissions of BRLs and 1 declaration of war. And it was rejected (not telling the fake offers): purchase of 17 buildings, 2 emissions of BRLs, 1 presidential impeachment and the 42 proposed tax increase for land, construction and manufactoring, including citizen fee and minimun wage. It was a tough management but will end with a happy ending.

INTERNATIONAL
The eWorld in Motion


As the Brazilian elections were extravagant, other countries experienced strong emotions. In Spain Durruti (PRO) beat Ballantines (NEL) for a mere 31 votes in a total of 3,626 voters! In other countries like the United States, Russia and Hungary were elected candidates clearly expansionary. The next thirty days promise!

MILITARY
Strong arm, Friendly hand


It seems that the famous character Plato will make a female companion in the coming days. Lana , as it is called, will serve in the military eRepublik. It's wait and see!

According to eRepublik Insider, Australia has elected by only 2 votes of difference, the extremist Cozza (eRA) . And the newly elected government has just released their plans for the short term: simply invade and defeat to Indonesia and take all its territories in South Africa! The detail relevant to Brazil is that Indonesia is a member of Phoenix and Gauteng "is part" of South Africa!
