[CT] Speculations about new political features (en)

Day 1,765, 00:08 Published in Germany Germany by omg_87


Good morning everypony,

When I checked the party-page recently I saw that banner telling there will be some changes in political module. From my experience I can tell that those changes have been more important for small countries like Germany/Denmark than they are for big ones (Just look at how Citizenships changed things). So what can we expect? Honestly I don’t know but there have always been good ideas.

Ban someone from a Party
That would be a great addition as there will be no internal and external Party-TOs anymore. If someone wants to TO a party he has to found his own party and waste gold. It’s also possible that the foundation of new Parties will be made more costly.

Ingame Ministers
Since 2008 every government had Ministers. It’s just fair to move on and make it an ingame-feature. One could take the most important ones: MoD being able to set the Campaign of the day and pressing the attack button, MoF having access to national treasury, MoFa being able to set the current alliance of the country (if they do ingame-alliances) etc.

New Government-Systems
Yeah, it’s eRepublik, so a democratic system is given. But there are many types of different types. The current system is more a anglostyle democracy. One could hope for having the choice to adapt something like the german model where there are Party-Lists of candidates.

Surveys
Well at the moment when there are things like “which alliance do we chose” a president can only let the congress vote. Ingame surveys can help keeping in touch what people in the country think.

National Ideas
Yes, this is a rip off from Europa Universalis, but national Ideas could be a nice addition. There could be an Idea like “Warrior society” (+5% influence, -5% industrial output) or “Neutrality” (-50% influence in offensive battles, +20% influence in defensive battles) or something like “Rebel suppression” (there can only be one RW at a time). This could be set at every president’s campaign and cannot be changed for the whole month.

I think I’ll stop here; there are tons of other ideas about this. Everything has been said, now the admins have the opportunity to do something great.

It might also just be an addition where you can buy votes for gold, so don’t be disappointed when they fail as usually.



Ps: The ones who don't have the result of the Bernd-Test™ will get their results most likely today.
