Part 1: If anyone is against this, especially congressmen I would like to hear from them, but at this time I dont stand against it.

Part 2: I am very glad to hear about this! This is exactly what eThailand needs if it ever wishes to grow in the future.

Part 3: I would like to hear from the President what he thinks about my proposed Citizen Program. I would also like to receive a messege from the eThai President about potential relations with eGreece.

Part 3: I would also like to enphize that the eThai government should be giving NO direct money or support to be used to those helping eIndonesia in their war against eRomania.

Mr President,

Can I request a citizen be shot?

Mr Jack Roberts,

Can I request that you try not to take that request personal?

One question, what is going to be done to ensure that multi's are not thrown into the mix here? Does eRepublik have anything set up to prevent multi's yet?

How about the citizen having to be of a certain age? That would help weed out some multis I'd think.

I have no problem with any aspect of the points stated here. However, I am wondering what our current stockpile of moving tickets is? If I recall correctly, for the last recruitment drive that we did we gave each potential immigrant two moving tickets, one for coming and one for leaving if they did not like it.

to answer a few questions:

@internetus internetian: citizenship has been requested by many, myself included. But it has to be implemented by the admins not by government. Because there is no way to enforce a contract if it is breached, especially one with such large ramifications.

@jack: I'm not sure if can fulfill you request.. 😛

@Jari: erep has a report system for multi accounts.

@gentyle & all: I dont think we can define a precise age for a citizen to qualify for the program. What is the right age? 1 month? 1 month and 1 day? 20 days? or 19?
I clearly stated that they would have to come from another country I guess with just have to thrust people will do the right thing.

@Albert: there is a pretty good stockpile of tickets in the governments Orgs. And even if those arent enough we have a pretty healthy ticket production in eThailand. If you need any just PM me and I'll send them to you (or to the people that need them)

Hey if anyone wants free gold check out:

eRepublik admins ban multis as soon as they can catch them. Or so they say.

I appreciate that the government is putting these questions on the table for an open discussion.

Part 1:
You know that I am against raising the value of the THB because it kills the export, but I regard the defense company question as a separate topic. Do we need a defense company, or do we need cash? Generally I do not think that the government should have companies at all. So please go ahead and wreck it down.

Part 2:
Great! Maybe we could combine it with a benefit for the people moving to Thailand, e. g. sharing the 100 THB between the sponsor and the new citizen.

Part 3:
There is one urgent topic: Please provide proper information to the public about the new value of the THB and which percentage of salaries reduction they should accept while remaining the same purchasing power. In the best case, announce a certain day where all companies should at the same time adapt the salaries and the prices of their goods to the new value of the THB!

I think these are all great ideas! Thank you 8l1nD355!

@Thingol

I agree on #3. It will be tough but we need to adjust to the new value or else our products will continue to not sell. Our value has gone up about 75% recently. We used to be at about 200 Baht/1 gold when the salary wars were started I believe. I could be wrong about that so anyone who knows please correct me. We should drop salaries by at least 25% across the board for our market prices to become more in line with other countries.

Otherwise we can expect our products to not sell eventually when everyone learns they can find them elsewhere, many times for less than half the cost in gold that they are here. When no one is selling then salaries won't be paid at all. Of course, some industries can handle the high salaries, mainly weapons, but others can't.

The only positive is that some companies will go out of business making the labor pool a little better...

Also a good idea: If this government action kills several companies' profitability, the Republic of Thailand could simply indemnify the owners by purchasing the companies and putting them out of business. Alas, I cannot put my company out of business myself, because I need first to earn enough gold to pay back my loan.

Definitely didn't realize I was the only one left working at Cyberdyne. Probably isn't a bad idea to end the company. Anyone need a Skill 5 Construction employee?

I like bl1nd! 😃

Everyone seems to be ok with me downgrading the DS company. So I'll do it.

Concerning salaries, companies and prices:
I cannot force anyone to change their salaries or the prices, all I can give is a simples value (and gentyle is right, a 25% cut across the board in salaries and prices should be enough).

I'll write this in capital letters to be clear:

IF A COMPANY CANNOT SUPPORT ITSELF THEN IT SHOULD GO BANKRUPT! THE GOVERNMENT WILL NOT GIVE MONEY TO A SINKING COMPANY OR TO THEIR OWNERS JUST SO THEY DONT LOSE MONEY.

SOMETIMES PEOPLE LOSE MONEY. DEAL WITH IT!!!!!!

Id also like to add with the value of the baht strengthening, we should start seeing prices in the market decrease unless GMs are attempting to gouge consumers.

@Bl1ndn3ss: I understand you point that the government should not get involved in private business. My problem is: "deal with it" is an impossible mission if the loss (by closing down the company) is higher than my personal assets. It would literally kill me. I agree that this is my own problem and has not necessarily to be solved by the government. What I am asking for is the proper information to the citizens about the new value of the THB. I propose that you write a separate newspaper article on this topic.

Thingol - If you can't repay your debts, do what the contract stated that you should do if you couldn't. Running at a loss will not net you a profit. Better give up the company right away.
I know the situation that you are in, I am there myself. To buy Weapons for Fun I borrowed 165 gold, now I am 50 gold away from repaying the debt.

The fact is that the company was doing well before that "raising the value of the THB without thinking about a plan for the transition period" action. And it will do well again when salaries (and sales prices) are adapted to the same level (in gold) as before. I am asking only for an official communication to all citizens about the new value of our currency. If the government introduces a significant change in our economy, it should at least inform the public by presenting the purpose together with an analysis of all effects and a plan how to reestablish the economic balance. Is this really asked too much?

"If the government introduces a significant change in our economy, it should at least inform the public "

We did inform the public. It was one of my main goals in the campaign. You can check my articles and you'll see it clearly written.

And in the comments (And in several other articles) the effects were widely discussed.

Funny thing I never saw your name there before the changes were actually made.

Now if you werent paying attention thats hardly my fault.

Sorry, I did not find the information about the targeted value of the THB and when and how much we should adapt salaries and prices in accordance with the change of the exchange rate. We seem to have different ideas about what is proper information in such case. I accept that you will not give additional information to the public, and I will have to act on my own now. Topic closed.
