My fellow Citizens

My fellow citizens,
I am here to announce my intention to run in the next presidential elections.
I know that some of you may not know me that well and I do realize that I upset a few people with some of my comments in the eThai news but rest assure that my only concern is to make Ethailand a better place for us all.
But let gets to business. Next is a brief description of my presidential program and what my ideas for this country are.
I divided this into sections.
Military:
I think Vincent as done a good job, although I’m not satisfied with the low levels of participation of our citizens, but that’s hardly his fault.
My idea for of military is simple. Considering our small numbers we should keep a small but mobile and alert force. Ideally with a few high strength soldiers.
There is not a lot to be said in this issue.
Social:
Recruitment is key. There aren’t a lot actual Thais playing this game so we have to rely on recruitment to keep our numbers.
The best to bring new citizens to eThai is to get everyone involved that is why I defend the creation of a program for monetary compensation for eThai citizens (and ONLY citizens) that bring new people to the country.
My idea is to give 100THB (the value could be different) to the responsible for bringing a new citizen to our country. Obviously this is a program that someone could take advantage of (by bringing new citizens for only one day). That’s why that prize (the 100TH😎
would only be given 15 days (again, this is variable) after the new citizen arrives in Ethailand.
Economy:
Raise the value of the THB. Everyone has been saying it. Everyone knows it’s needed.
The only way to raise the value of the THB is to take out the huge amount of it that is floating around. And for that we need gold. Lots of it.
We have a Q4 DS company that’s owned by the government. I see no reason to build another DS and no reason to use, in our country, the one we have in stock.
So we can use the gold we would get from selling the DS to buy up some of the THB and raise the value of the THB.
We can also find an extra 85G from the downgrading of our DS company. Because no one will actually buy that company and we get some much needed Gold.
I am totally against company loans. We have almost no Gold in the country’ accounts and what we do have, we need to keep for a rainy day.
But my main problem with government loans to companies is this:
If a company can’t support itself and can’t gather enough money to buy an export license (and if a company is going to sell their products outside our market they should pay for it) or an upgrade then they aren’t making a profit. And we all know what that means.
Besides there are a lot of eBanks that can make that loan possible. The companies would get their upgrades and the government would keep their much needed gold.
That pretty much sums up my ideas. I know some of you won’t agree with me.
If anyone has any doubts feel free to post a comment.

I'm a bit green when it comes to the administrating of an ecountry, but nothing struck me as non-sensical.
I wish you luck!
I like your ideas and I'd also like to back the idea for the future of the DS company. Also maybe reiterate some points.
-Building another DS will take too much in salaries and Raw Materials for it to be worth building. We cannot get to the proper productivity for it to be cheap enough. There are companies out there that are selling for cheaper than what it probably cost us to make it.
-Closing the company will free up some more workers to work in the private sector which is needed very much right now.
-The DS Company will never sell on the market as is and we have no use to hold it. We can recover 85 gold by downgrading back to lvl 1. Then we can put it on the market for cheap. Maybe someone overzealous will buy it up for 10-12 gold.... (evil grin)
-We have no need for another DS in other regions right now. There are more important things to do with our gold ATN. We have no threats or reason to feel threatened. We have no high resources. No neighbors outside of Southern Thailand and We have the Q3 DS there.
I've already stopped working there because it makes no sense. We should sell the stock to someone and get the gold for that as well.
Good ideas overall, can't say I disagree with anything. You have much experience and also have good standing in the game amongst many people.
Yes, we should keep the military straightforward. That's good in my eyes.
Recruitment is always a dangerous thing to reward. Ideally, we have citizens flooding to our country simply because it is the most wonderful lush location for everyday loves and desires. Realistically, eThailand is a tiny country, and too many people think starting in eUSA promises awesomeness.
Rewards for recruitment aren't inherently bad, and I like that you've given more detail on it. I feel though, that it might be wise to craft more safeguards--perhaps recording every transaction in the forums, and occasionally drafting a contract for very large exchanges of gold or THB. 100 THB is acceptable, though I am unsure of how much motivation that would add. However, smaller amounts are always more preferable; otherwise, it'd provide motivation for multis instead of recruitment. I can't criticize this recruitment idea as much as I did Defenestration's because it's more specific, and I can't think of anything too horrible about 100 THB. Maybe when it happens, I'll be proven wrong.
If anyone was thinking about building another DS, they were insane.
As for companies, I wish we could somehow liquidate and eat up those many companies just lying around. No one's buying them--the owners should have an option to recycle a company and get whatever materials or gold that it was worth. Do they? I don't have any knowledge on companies.
Unfortunately, you can only downgrade to lvl 1 and get back half of the original cost. You can always sell the stock off market to another company. Luckily wood is used by 3 different companies. We could get another 13-15 gold for the stock.
Only 2 people have worked there in the last 5 days.
Recruitment rewarding, as long as it is cost-effective, would be good. I doubt many people will make multis to gain roughly 100 Baht for each one. Not worth the risk of getting banned.
For someone to get the 100THB they would have to wait 15 days and the new citizen would have to work for 15 days (or 14 - some days people just dont have the time).
I dont see this as a big problem even if we got 30 new citizens and thats about 10% growth in population we would only give 3000THB. Which isnt a lot.
Obviously we wont be given out the money to anyone.
A contract and a detailed list of all donations must be made.
Rewarding the citizen who convinces someone to move to Thailand is one way. Another way is to directly announce free moving tickets plus other goodies (Q5 food?) from the government for people moving to Thailand. Of course, the total value of all free items should be less than 2 moving tickets in order to avoid people moving here just for collecting the goodies.
I sell a food Q4 for 17.77 THB. You interes? Give me a message.
I want to add something to the idea
"Raise the value of the THB. "
This would kill the export. Salaries are already high in Thailand, and I guess that even if it is officially announced that the value of the THB is increasing, no employee would be happy with a salary reduction.
Same salaries + higher value of the THB = not competitive anymore.
Any ideas how to solve this?

Thingol
