[DoI] I Want You! Donate to the Dept. of the Interior!
USA Department of the Interior
The Department of the Interior is a nonpartisan, not-for-profit government organization with the sole aim of making this game more playable to newfriends and mid-level players. The DoI serves members of every top 4 party, and most major eUS Military Units. By now you’ve heard of the programs that the Department of the Interior operates:
>Meals on Wheels
>Tank Up 2 Rank Up
>Bewbs 4 Newbs
These programs are crucial for the well-being of many new players. Tank Up 2 Rank Up processed over 1000 requests for supplies in March alone. That’s 5000 Q6 tanks, or $15,000. That number does not include costs from B4N or MoW, which cost roughly $5000/month. This brings us to a total of $20,000/month.
This is great, people are using our programs. They need the supplies to supplement what they are getting from their military units, from what they are producing on their own. They’re increasing the damage output of the eUSA.They are increasing in rank, strength and experience. None of us are playing this game alone. Some of us need help from you! These programs are running at the bare minimum, if we reduced supplies any further there would be no point! If we are graced with generous supporters, we could look into expanding these programs.
We hand out free stuff, but someone has to pay for that free stuff. The government no longer subsidizes the DoI. That’s the point of this article. We are humbly approaching the eMerican population, asking for your support. We’ll do the grunt work if you give us the stuff to hand out. No donation is too small, nor too big

Here’s what we really nee

Donate to DoI, Donate for Newfriends!
Even babies need charity!
Even babies need charity! x2
I hope you get many donations.
Congress needs to learn how to increase the DoI's line item. We all know that the DoI is beneficial to player retention. Congress needs to learn to stop crying poor and use the eUS' available funds.

The eUS is making less and less each month through tax revenue. I was told by congress that the American public. I happen to agree, I know well-off citizens know how important these programs are to retaining newfriends, who are the lifeblood of this game. Without us plebes, it's a group of rich RL guys willy wagging.
While less may be made in tax revenue, how much of a change are you seeing in the balance of the CBO? If the money isn't working for you, it serves no purpose.
That is not even considering the tax changes that could be made to change the revenue that the eUS collects. We are one of the few countries that has a 1% Import Tax. It could be increased as the eUS government should care more about their citizens ability to sell their products on the market than those who import.
Speaking from experience, the Secretary of Interior and those who work for Interior work in a thankless job (as viewed by the rest of the government). They look at the resources that are given out as having less bang for their buck because they are given out to newbs and not to "Tanks", forgetting that these newbs -- when properly treated, trained and retained -- end up becoming our future "Tanks". It is for this reason the DoI line item is the first to be cut, ignoring the long term effects these cuts bring.
I cannot comment on economic or tax policy, as that is not my area of expertise. I don't disagree that DoI might be seen as easier to cut. I am not only SecInt., but a member of congress. All countries in the new world are having to tighten their belt... we are no exception. If our most well-off citizens can spare a fraction of what they spend per month on DoI, our newbs will be in good shape!
So, with 2934.43 Gold and 3312402.72 USD in the CBO, you believe that the funding of DoI should come from those citizens who are well-off? It seems to me that the CBO is a lot more well-off then the sum total of our well-off citizens. As a member of Congress, you should consider funding the DoI from this more well-off source. It did come from the eUS citizens that you are looking to have contribute more of their funds to the DoI.
just donated 1000 usd. enjoy.
Feed a newbie!

Donated 20k cc. DoI does good work. ^ _ ^
Just my $0.02... it's insane that Congress cut this out of the budget. If the monthly expenses are 20k cc, we should drop two weak MPPs to keep the DoI funded. Strong DoI-style programs are at the core of most of the east European eNations. It's one reason why their retention rates are so much higher than ours. As Lysander said above (first time I find myself agreeing with Lysander) these programs are a solid long-term investment in the future and we are foolish to not make this investment.
sent some q2 food, q7 guns, and gold thank MM3 for shouting and me seeing it
Strange question. If the DOI has essentially become a publicly funded charity then why is it even under the supervision of the government.?
Because the aim of the organization is the betterment of the eUS through strengthening of our newfriends. The government still has an interest in retaining new players, but perhaps not the means (although that could be debated). In the end, the Secretary of the Interior must answer to the President, and that ensures that this work, this money collected is being spent.
Then the government should help fund it. If this organization is being funded directly by the citizens rather than by the government via taxesit should answer to them, not the President or the Congress.
I don't disagree. The current financial struggle is being framed as DoD or DoI. It's easier to ask SecInt to beg for donations, with the thought that eMericans are generous. This Donation drive, having already tripled the amount of cash brought in by the last drive, is proving that point.
It was suggested that it be cut entirely and left up to parties to serve noobs. Israel Stevens had a stroke.
Sounds like this could be a thread in Public Congressional Proceedings, as I am perhaps not doing the best job at explaining the Executive and Congress' position. A conversation on a greater scale would be good for this department.
I do think it's important to have a non-partisan organisation doling out these supplies. I also happen to think we're doing a pretty good job at it.
Oh, I think you guys are doing a fine job. I just wonder why you have to answer to anyone considering that you aren't getting any funding at all. You should just be a private institution since you are not receiving government funds.
I think an NGO would have less credibility, and would garner fewer donations. At least this way, taxpayers are relying on the elected government to manage the program, to disperse official gov't information, etc...
The DoI should remain a government program because it is a tool for information dissemination and player retention. If it is separated then it will eventually get pilfered or just cease to exist. People won't trust a free-standing DoI the way they trust a bona fide government entity. We were only able to slash the DoI because we got huge donations and we were frugal with stockpiling cash when we saw the crunch coming. Prior to the PTO fiasco DoI funding had been INCREASED by more than double the amount it once was. That should be tempered by the fact that USD was like Monopoly money at the time, but still, we got a big increase and then we tightened our spending when other programs needed the help. In my opinion we were being team players and the DoI was never cut out of the loop on government stuff, so why would there even be a reason to split it off?
Donated 60k cc!
