More power to the Congress in V1 - Turkish denomination
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,

Besides this, an interesting night we had today fixing security issues in the forum. Still, not compared to the white nights that 4chan gave us last winter. Those were the days (nights)!
Can\'t wait for V1
>If a president wants to imitate Mugabe in Erepublik he will have to find other ways.
lols
Minimum wage shouldn\'t be mechanically enforced, but rather dynamically enforced through an unemployment office. Mind that this is still an option since no country HAS to has a minimum wage (make sure a \"clear\" or \"rescind\" option is available), but it seems legal enforcement of minimum wage might be implemented too much.
Also (with respect to today\'s goon attack), PLEASE implement naturalization and deportation controls. Delayed citizenship is a reasonable method for preventing infiltration, and it should be regulated by governments rather than through a gamewide rule (similarly to how you\'re making minimum wages government regulated rather than a gamewide rule).
*sigh* nothing about the API.
WHEN IS V1 COMING OUT ???
Sounds great.
Limit for issuing money was a \"must\" 😁
What will happen if a president is impeached? will the second most voted or the second in the leaving presidnts party get that place?
@George
if a president is dismissed from presidency,
will he continue as a Congressman ?
if a president is dismissed from presidency,
how will the new president be elected ?
Great!
Good measures. Since you\'re at it, you should check on Joimzhando. He was president of Argentina once, and at some point he escaped with a huge portion of the government\'s treasury. Just check his ranking, and I bet the staff can check the transactions in his accounts.
Great news, specially about the new congress powers.
George, tell Cristi to check his email, tia~
Wanna play V1!!!
Great !
* Vote *
Congrats!
eR is getting even better every day...
Just can\'t wait for V1!
I think its still a semi-presidential system since the government is not voted by the congres, so it doesn\'t needs a majority to be put in place. the 66% rule for the president should be of 50% and have a similar one for the executive team. I don\'t want to fire the president just to make him change his staff.
how will the law system work?
@Checkers - Minimum wage is an option for each country administration. Citizens naturalization is one of the first features that will be implemented after launching V1.
@Big Brother - even if it might take more than we expected be sure that the system will be implemented. Besides, it\'s my favorite module 😉
I wouldn\'t enter into details concerning the President Impeachment feature because small changes might appear until the launch.
Very good.
But... when? O_o
Great work.
cool
it shows as brazilian news
i love this admin thing in brazil
@topic

Great news, especially the limit to currency to be printed.
\"Still, not compared to the white nights that 4chan gave us last winter. Those were the days (nights)!\"
Where can I read about this?
I hope V1 turns out to be amazing.
Minimum Wage? Ohh lord. I can see the Socialist drooling now and businesses failing.
yeah yeah, rox rules congrats admin
Dammit. They deleted 3 zeros from everyone\'s TRY accounts....
socialist and communism will rule..😛
sound good...... but now I am going back to sleep ..... just wake me up when it \'s coming.... ZZZzzz ZZZzzzz
Minimum wage...socialist headed to Erepublik
HA! Lack of Confidence votes, me likes!
minimum wage
power to the people
and the lack of confidence vote should destroy anyhostile takeover
@>If a president wants to imitate Mugabe in Erepublik he will have to find other ways.
eeekkkkkkk! Mugabe is not a \"president\" as you may know... and undemocratic governments are not allowed in this new world 😛
Great.
Anytime you point out that the admins are playing favorites with Turkey by acting differently in this case, they delete the comment.
Guess they don\'t want people realizing that while mass money printing has happened multiple times before, they only care about it when it hurts their paying customers.
nice job... keep update...
I tought nacionality would be emplemented too... that way only people \"born\" in a country could be presidents and congressmen
😃😃 impeachment 😃
Great...!!!
CAPELLI
Parliament sounds exciting, and I hope we get the ability to more easily edit posts in V.1
I keep hearing about it, but when, oh when will it be here? It\'s like waiting for Christmas!!
Over all these are all good changes that I am looking forward to. I agree about the currency issue cap, but shouldnt\' it be 500.000 instead of 100.000? 100k Just seems to be slightly low, but I still think these are good changes
great news to hear.
Nice!
no comment \'till released...
Good news.. 🙂
the issue money limit should be proportional to the population, 100.000 in spain is nothing if we want to change the value of our currency...
