More power to the Congress in V1 - Turkish denomination

Day 276, 17:18 Published in USA by Plato

As some of you already know in V1 the semi-presidential system that runs every country in Erepublik will be transformed into a semi-parliamentary system. Basically the Congress will have more powers than it has now.
Each Member of Congress will be able to propose a limited number of laws. The Congress will propose and vote the Citizen fee and the Taxes. Besides this the Congress will be able to:
- set a country minimum wage
- allow donations to SO's – besides the Citizen fee this will be the only way to take out money from the country treasury (with a limitation).
- impeach the President – 66% of Congress votes will be necessary to change the President.
These changes, besides giving more control over a country administration, will also help redice the unfair (to put it lightly) treasury administration that some Presidents have done.

The President will have a more important role regarding the defense strategy and foreign relations. More details concerning what the President will be able to do will be presented in one of the next Erepublik Insider articles.


Turkish denomination

In order to prepare the current version of Erepublik for V1 we applied a currency denomination in Turkey. The hyperinflation was creating huge problems to the economy so we applied the following measures:
- we deleted 3 zeros from the TRY accounts and salaries
- we've deleted the TRY offer sales from the monetary market
- we've analyzed the accounts that did mot respect the 4th Erepublik rule (enriching through an unjust method) and removed the money obtained in this way.
- we gave 10 wellness to Turkish Citizens because of the food shortage
We haven't made changes in the Marketplace prices (that's why we gave the wellness bonus) so the company owners should modify their prices. Neither have we changed the tax rates.
In the next days we might work on other currencies as well.

A new rule starting from this month is that we won't allow Presidents to issue enormous amounts of currency. The limit is set at 100.000 units of local currency per month. If a president wants to imitate Mugabe in Erepublik he will have to find other ways.

Thanks from the Erepublik team,
