Congressional Affairs
Switzerland,
This month is the first month in many moons we have had a congress. Parliament has been a flurry of activity behind closed doors, and now I come forward to elucidate what exactly we have in mind for this month.
Firstly, the parliament/congress has elected a Speaker of the Parliament, and that is me, TrogdorTheTroll100. This means I will be responsible for organizing, whipping, and directing congressional votes. It is a vital job, and I thank those of you in congress for electing me. I look forward to serving you to the best of my abilities. This will be a busy month, and we have a lot in store for you! Now let us meet your representatives:
TrogdorTheTroll100
Vasmegye
Sally Trotter
Uros012
Tomas Franceschin
Thedillpickl
ikacar
kimiyimi
Vadims Kamenevs
Asmadi
These lovely people will be representing you through lively and thorough discussion.
Now as we all know, immigration is vital to the vitality, firepower, and future success of Switzerland. Our government realizes that accepting as many immigrants as possible is the best way to fortify our country and protect it from everything from PTOs to military wipes. This month, congress members have voted for each congressional applicant, with a majority (50% + 1) needed to pass each person. The results can be found HERE and 8 citizens have been accepted. Welcome to the country immigrants! Get active and fight for Switzerland!
Next up we have the legislative agenda. Here is the country administration page-

Where you will find current laws and proposals. First passed was this law
which was a transfer of 1000 gold to a government org (appropriately named by Cronoss back in the day). This gold was turned into CC and put back into the government treasury for use with future MPPs and so forth.
This law here
will send 475 gold to another governmental org which will use the money to pay back campaign debts. This debt was a necessary evil of our month long conflict with Slovenia, and it is vital we reimburse our friends who helped us along the way.
Future donation laws will include a transfer of 25 gold to the MoD for the purchase of tanks in preparation for our next war. There are no other laws planned, and if you have any good ideas, feel free to comment or send me or any other congress member a PM, we are always looking for suggestions.
With that, hopefully you should be more informed and satisfied. Make sure you go here: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-moe-educational-challenge-october-2334264/1/20

Well done.
Very good
hooray....... Congress is active !
Work tax reduction?
It is at 1% 😑
Strange 😛
Actually I would support a slight increase to help treasury revenue. Speaking as a big WaM'er I don't mind paying for something, especially if it helps out. However I'm not willing to support the entire govt. because I WaM 100 co's.
We musn't raise the tax except if you want to loose players.
We have only 1 bonus regions, that makes eSwiss not really productive, don't fordid them to have money...
eRep econ does not work. This is fact. What is made in Switzerland is WaM'ed. Other countries have tried to replace the revenue from previous taxes when the econ did work with work tax. Admin knew this would be so and that is their way to curb overproduction. It is also their way to kill communes, which are a big problem. Most communes pay in products multiple times what is possible in cash wages.
Anyhow, the key is that the govt. does not get greedy. Like I said, helping is one thing but I'm not willing to support everyone else. Govt. will just have to do with reduced income like everyone else.
Congratulations Swiss!
We should name the Congress as "Federal Assembly" and call the members as "Councillors"
"I thank those of you in congress for electing me."
I know nothing about any election the Speaker, and I did not take any part in them. I think this election is invalid.
"This law here will send 475 gold to another governmental org which will use the money to pay back campaign debts."
I know nothing about any debt, and no one ever reported to the public to whom and what our debt. You're just lying to us and stealing the money.

And I just proved why you just lie.
lol, and where i lie?
I invited you to join the messages of the congress so that you have access to all information. You refused, and so you do not know anything, BECAUSE YOU WANTED.
I don't need you in my friendlist. All discussions of the Congress should be transparent to all citizens of eSwitzerland. Otherwise you're trying to hide the theft and betrayal.
I have nothing to hide.
The discussions have just become transparent with this article, in which you say is a lie, and when your lie is unveiled you keep changing the subject like a headless chicken.
you want to add me to your list of friends - I refused.
someone somewhere has chosen speaker, without inviting all members of Congress to participate in the elections.
WHERE I LIE?
Without you on the list of friends is not possible to put you in the IGM. Without you in the IGM you do not participate in discussions of the congress because you rejected. Do not blame us for your lack of interest.
I don't know what you understand about game mechanics, but let me explain it like this. In order to join a group message, you must be friends with the person who created the group PM. Because you have denied both my and Alexandre Walen's requests for friendship, we mechanically cannot let you into this discussion. Every other member of congress voted and your inaction, apathy, and disregard for your duties is not my problem.
this does not answer my question. where i lie?
You are rational enough to know where lied. But it is clear that the little baby asmadi still have difficulties in knowing his actions, the uncle walen can help you 🙂
If you weren't busy being a butthole you could be part of the discussion. That would require accepting a friend request. Shame you choose to have no real input, but please stick to your trolling.
You cannot force someone to add someone as a friend if they do not want to... You should have got a neutral party to make the message... you are both being as arrogant as each other xD
We have not forced him, if we had "forced" he would be in the IGM. And he is not because he wanted and since he wanted it, he has no reason to complain his own lack of interest.
there you go Wilshire........... a new citizen for 2 days and already you are disrupting things of which you know nothing.
Get a grip on yourself young man. Be hench or die trying.
Alex, you cannot say that someone has no interest because they will not accept someone as a friend. I know for a fact that Asmadi has a very high interest in what goes on. If you give a little, you might get a little back.
@Rican, I cause trouble involving things that I knew nothing about even before I got CS here again. Asmadi was insulting me earlier, but a valid point is a valid point...
He simply said not to all message, proving that he was not interested in receiving messages from Congress. This is clear in SS that showed up 😉
I would qualify this as giving a little Dan 😛

"You cannot force someone to add someone as a friend if they do not want to" this is such a stupid excuse.
If he definitely doesn't want Alex or Trog to be his friends, he could accept the request to make the common PM start and then remove them from his friendlist.
Best way to give more transparency would be using a forum. Unfortunately there actually isn't any running efficient forum, so while we're trying to fix this problem we cannot stay without any Congress spokesman, so it's just a matter of priority.
I'd like to mention that I like Asmadi. Unless someone is being an utter ass I respect and encourage differing points of view. That said, it is a simple thing to friend someone to receive an IGM and then when finished to unfriend that person. If we had been running a forum thread Asmadi would have to join that forum to post/read that thread also.
To each his own. Be mad and pout or play along, no big deal in the big picture.
@Asmadi, you didn't miss much except me getting pissed because I couldn't follow what was going on. 🙂

Over the past few years I have dealt with Asmadi. All I can come up with is that he is a professional malcontent.
I have no idea why he is so filled with hate and constantly spews insults and libelous remarks at good citizens trying to do their best for eSwitzerland.
@ Asmadi... either you want to be involved in government or you don't. Stop being a cry-baby and grow some "backbone" . I call it "backbone" here because if i said anything else, you would have my comment deleted."
I think that Asmadi is just a grumpy version of Kaad!

What a waste of a congress seat!
No, you are wrong, he's a swiss citizen like you, maybe he's not agree with the actual speaker and that's a valid position.
Aaaseilern no it's different. This isn't disagreeing. This is refusing to represent. He was elected to represent people, and he refuses to be part of the discussion and of the process, this is most certainly a waste of a seat. It has been stated before already that he could friend and unfriend later just to let the game mechanics let him be part of the congress process. He refused to do that, saying he doesnt have to friend someone. So whats the other option? Even if we have a forum for congress stuff, he'd come out and say....hey but I dont have to join a forum if I dont want to. Then you'd come and say he's right? But it's ridicolous if you dont want to adapt to game mechanics then dont run or bitch about congress at all.
And I've always wanted to see Asmadi actually be part of the governing and try to implement his ideas, but for that obviously should first start participating and not rebelling against Plato's created game mechanics. With this sort of bitching he only hurts the country and the people that believe in his ideas and no other swiss citizens can change the mechanics so it is pointless. He should just stop messing around and actually start trying to implement his great ideas and start representing the people who elected him not just being.
In order to actually try to change anything, one needs to participate. That is simple logic.
Are u serious this game is not about participation is about who has more members to accept a stupid law. "Representing people" which people, no one here represent any player thats the true.
And don't try to lie to me about this, because I try it a lot with Friendship and the SFP party and the answer was a lack of inactivity. More like people is about groups of friends helping each other to gain something in which case you guys are winning even if ur ideas sux or are u telling dill or trogg is representing the ideas of people like chucka or zubaran or sgtchewy or some others ofc not u donthave any idea about whats going on in these igm and is because some of them are selfish with a big ego.
He don't want to discuss when at the end we have the minority and everyone is with his little group of friend defending his own ideas so how the hell we can implement or improve stuff in the country, in resume this is just a waste of time.
ahahahahahhahahahahha
TL; DR IGM and answer?????
answer was NO.
Lacedaemonian answer.
Everyone above needs to show some respect, I believe...
that said Asmadi it's your choice to disregard what the government is doing although volunteering yourself to be a part of it. The only way anyone is going to listen to your ideas is if you stop refusing to participate then going to IRC and telling everyone your magnificent ideas and how stupid everyone is. I for one will never take you seriously unless you stop being so immature about having different opinions than other people, and I am getting the sense that the rest of Switzerland believes so too.
thanks.
