[eSwiss Governor] back with the accounts clean
Swiss Dep. of Finance
"Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes it's laws"
- Mayer Amschel Rothschild
Hello citizens of eSwitzerland
With the sentence above by Sir Rotschild I cannot stress more the importance of the money and finances in today societies (in eRepublik also). Unfortunately there weren't any finance related articles or discussions for a long time now in our eCountry, so I will have the privilege to write one now.
First, I want to thank our President @Blue Tongu3 Lizard for reaching out to me, and appointing me, at first, for viceMinister of Finance (viceGovernor) in her term. Now, Governor.
In the current socio-economic situation in the New World, we in eSwitzerland have steady flow of cash, without any disruption in recent past, mainly because the main focus on the major players is not in our region, and the war theaters are in the other parts of the world.
The Swiss treasury has collected 451.560cc for the period from 4431 to 4460, and 468.953cc for the period from 4461 to 4490 day of the New World.
Since day 4491 The Ministry of Finance began to track the the flow of money on a daily basis, and every citizen that is interested can CHECK IT OUT at any time.
I'm also pleased to inform you that the Ministry of Finance this month has made the data of our National Organizations clear and transparent for anyone that is interested in this kind of stuff. These organizations will be vital for financing any project in the future that the government will deem worthy.
Now, if you had a look at those numbers you had probably noticed that we are not collecting enough money, or collecting as much as we should collect, or as much as other countries do collect. If we manage to increase our income, and start financing different aspects of the game in our country we will become much stronger and active, both economically and militarily. As a positive exemple I'm looking at the Netherlands. They have same population as Switzerland does, according to the last elections (I know someone doesn't vote and those numbers could be wrong, but they are good start) yet they have monthly income more then 1million and considerably stronger army, which allows them sometimes to engage in major battles, and participate in different theatres of war in the world as we saw recently. If our long term goal in to increase our military strength and capabilities, I believe we must increase our income at least to 1 million, and not like todays moderate 450k currency, so we would be able to increase the funding for our army, and to create more active and healthy political activities (also like Netherlands do)
So how do we increase the income in our treasury?? The Ministry of Finance have several proposals...
- First, and the most effective way it would be if our diplomats can find some country that wants some of our resources for concession. That will be major financial boost, and our TW can easily be adjusted.
- Second, the money in our treasury should not be liability. Right now, a decent sum of currency and gold is sitting in the treasury without anyone touching it for months. This way our money are liability, and we should immediately turn them into asset. How?? By transferring them partly to some of our Organizations, and start trading them on the Monetary market for profit. The profit will be then used for different programs that the government would have for strengthening our military or enriching the swiss citizens.
- Third, we can use some of the currency/gold to buy food/weapons, which will be held as strategic reserves in case of price spikes, and be delivered to our citizens if such price spikes occur, and/or be sold for profit in future.
The Ministry has one more idea, but will be withheld for now, and we will leave it for discussion in future.
We thank you, for your cooperation and support.!

congratulations, I thank you so much! for the effort to organize all the information, it was a serious task, we want to be as transparent as possible.
Great article.
I also think money in Treasury should be used to speculate.
when i launched my candidacy i wrote something about it too but we should talk in Congress about Inspector ideas that i find very useful for Swiss economy profit
Thank you very much for this great article!
I agree with faugnero.
Excelent nice job but that name (Mayor...Rotch) made me sick
Indo, he has a reputation of a bad guy 🙂, but you must admit that what he said is 100% correct
we should sell some gold
I think we just got the best Governor in years! Well done TheInspector!
Also I agree with proposed measures to help our economy.

TheInspector, your article is well done and contains good bases for discussion to bring to Congress.
I agree with you on the opportunity to evaluate any countries that may be interested in renting our resources.
I am not, however, of your own idea regarding the confrontation with the Netherlands.
It is not our lower tax revenues that affect the strength of our army.
We have more than enough resources to support the demands of our citizens and soldiers, but an adequate number of active citizens is missing.
In the past, various initiatives have been made to support our men with weapons, gold or funding, with little success due to the limited number of members.
The MM is instead an aspect of the game that, if done by competent players, can give good results.
Anyway, congratulations on your job.
Hey Tim, thanks for your opinion I really appreciate it. I was observing The Netherlands for some time now, and for me they are example for success for small nations. If you think we have enough finance to support the grow of our citizens (and we don't need more) then we should implement it now. The Dutch have "The Flying Dutchman" and "The Green Baretts" and over the course of some time it has positive effects. Look how stronger are the Dutch citizens compared to the Swiss. Right now, our currency/gold are like a dead weight, just sitting in the coffers and nobody is touching them. My point is that these money are collected by the citizens and should be returned to the citizens with various forms of initiatives and support programs. Maybe, this (financial) support will not be enough to activate some members of our community, maybe MU commanders can organize some military strikes, maybe something else should be combined... I don't know, but we should do something if we want to motivate our people, or make someone from outside to join us.
All can be discuss. Ideas are possibilities is my moto
Excellent work Mr. Governor.
happy that you in charge and I think his ideas are very good and ti will helping our eCountry.
"- First, and the most effective way it would be if our diplomats can find some country that wants some of our resources for concession. That will be major financial boost, and our TW can easily be adjusted."
NOOOOOOOOO
Uncle. Give reasons besides being against. U can do it darling 😘
Graubunden has all our resources. We can't rent them. Most Swiss companies have (OR SHOULD HAVE) their factories in Graubunden.
i agree with rican here.
most of our citizens (myself included) have our factories and companies in Graubunden.
if we lose Graubunden, (even temporarily, in a trade agreement), this would essentially cripple all of our factories productions and noone could manage his/her company in an occupied region.
also using sarcastic remarks such as ''U can do it darling'' to a seasoned veteran such as rican is funny at the very least, and insulting, in other views of your expression.
show some respect for his opinion please, thanks.
as a "seasoned veteran", nobody needs to defend me.
I respect Rican and I have treated him like this always. Maybe you should stay away from relationships you dont understand.
I told this before
We dont have resources to give even when most of our businessmen have their holdings abroad. We need to expand, getting resources abroad.
And BRAVOOOO. You woke us up, Governor!!!!
I am far from understanding anything you have said
an interesting article, with some unique plans for the e-swiss economy.
i agree with using funds in order to invest in a stock of weapons/food items so that when the prices spike, that we can either provide food+weapons to our people, OR, to sell such items for a profit, in a high price.
but:
-our taxes should always remain low (except from the import taxes, ofc)
-we should never agree to trade or to concede our core regions, such as the Graubunden, for the majority of our e-swiss companies+factories, are homed in there.
selling out Graubunden, (even temporarily), would cripple all the work activity in the region.
-having an active economical plan, and ideas for investing (within reason, and with moderation), sound good tho.
we shall wait and see, i guess.
doing something is better than staying hold. I m supporting all actions which is trying to boost our economy.
or we can rent a house region from usa and canada ?
