[MoFA] Ambassador Report 23 June (Greece)

Day 946, 04:46 Published in Norway Norway by Norwegian Consulate
Military
The Greeks last week fought to defend South Africa's Northern Cape against Brazil. The region was secured.
After it, they participated in the Training War Battle, in Lika and Gorski Katar.
They fought with Croatia to conquer Serbia's Vojvodina, but EDEN failed.
The next and final days of this week were quiet: Training Wars in Lika and Gorski Katar and in Southern Basarabia.


Economy
There is a New Minimum Wage: From 1 GRD it is 1.5 GRD now. Greeks have had many many conversations on this matter. Finally, The decision was taken because of the new facts of the game: New players begin with 100 wellness, so their productivity is higher than the productivity of new players some months ago (when they would start with 40 wellness) and they cannot make any donations, so this increase will give the babies of Greece more chances to survive.
Three proposals for changing the taxes in weapons, defense systems and diamonds were meaningless, as the congress members just wanted to gain one experience point because we are reaching the 25th.
I should also inform you that Greece has a section in their forum, where only Congress Members have access, and where they discuss about possible Proposals. For important proposals (like Economy Changes, changes of the Welcome Messages etc) they open a new topic where every Congress Member can express his opinion and arguments on the matter. After that, they open a 24-hour debate, where the Congress Members vote for Yes or No. If the majority is for Yes, then someone will make the proposal in game. So, the important part is out of the game 😉
A conversation has also begun about the possibility of using "Hellenic State Bonds", so that the State stores gold for V2. More details to come in case it becomes acceptable from the Congressmen.

Other
Because of the Version 2 and the new war module, the new Government decided to dissolve the private military units and accept their members into the Greek Army. The important thing in the new war module is not the quantity of the troops, but the quality. So, the new Greek Army will have fewer but more active members to be more efficient.
A new e-school will begin to e-educate the New Players.
In general, everyone in Greece is trying to prepare himself for V2.
