Join the new world

The POTUS can make a tax proposal and vote it alone. The question is why would he when the country is making money hand over fist right now.

CPs can't make tax proposals unless they have recently changed it, that's one of the things that only congress members can do.

And we should do it because if we get no new players, we slip behind. If the new players don't get anywhere, why would they stay?

Well I guess that shows how much I follow the political side of this game. I'll stick to blowing things up.

As we don't have a Congress, the CP can do in-game whatever he likes. But we have a shadow Congress where even the CP can cast his vote. Bad meta-game is bad!

Valiant, he got no option to vote for tax proposals. The ingame mechanics do not allow him to do so.

Well, we could open a debate about a refund then.
Let's see who's more greedy: Plato or the government.

We also are incapable of refunding them as we can't move money out of the country treasury.

I have attempted to ticket the admins to ask for a one time exception to the rule due to the game change, but was denied.

You may take off your tin foil hats now please.

This game, after 3 years, sucks more and more each change they put in.

has there even been a change that everyone liked within the last couple years?

I'm quickly losing the ability to buy weapons and pay to move to battles. Won't take long to choke me out of the game.

admin should reset worker tax for countries without a congress , similar to new countries .. what an awful change

We need to protest this work tax. We need an Erepublik Boston Tea Party worldwide.

if a wiped country can have a CP why can't they have a congress as well ?

Congress is tied to territories controlled and at the time of congressionals we had no territories.

well it should be tied up to original regions regardless if they were free or occupied , i think occupier being able to collect bonuses is enough reward , while prevent wiped countries from playing the game , in this case a law is needed to lower the 25% worker tax , check spain new law

Technically, Congress is no longer tied to specific land, as in RL. USA.
In the most recent Admin "improvement", they changed Congressional elections to the "Party List" system used in much of western Europe. If you get elected, you are not the Congressman from Kentucky,, or wherever. You are a Green or Social Democrat placed on a list by party leaders. You don't vote for a person, you vote for a list chosen by party leaders.

you are fooked(im irish so can say such stuff in articles) well time to withdraw your cheap offers and put new stuff on the market with the work tax added. or be stupid and lose you shirts. the ppl with licenses to your market will probably drop the popular crap at just below your prices which is what they always did anyway.

yeah i canceld all my sell orders. but i am not sure yet how high prices will get. i wonder how many raw factories will be shut down until prices rise significantly. or will raw prices not go up?

I agree, but new players shouldn't buy any companies anyway, if they don't want to invest RL-money.
The best investments for newcomers are trainingbuildings.

until they get to D4 then they stand no chance , basically new players should look for another game

i am hoping though, that countirs will fund CO's and then new players will fight the CO. new players need weps. i think div 1 should get 5 points and dive 2 3 points and div 3 2 points and div 4 1 point 🙂 lol so that people want more people t owin div one 🙂 lol or have all divisions have equal points. to try to push people to pay div one much more with CO. or maybe let the president use government fund to put CO for the countries citizens.

We did good 😃

Who are yOU?

see in work tax all factory new cost lot of money and its becos o noobs goverment

Food prices will rise as people dissolve their factories.

This new tax scheme blows. It's like I'm Working in a Coal Mine. Taxed when you work, as well as when you sell. Hey, just like real life. Makes me want to put this aside. Glad I never spent any real money on this game. It's hard enough trying to make some money to upgrade stuff. I'll give it another week or so and then maybe move on to greener pastures.
