New Citizens

An extract from the fantastic UK Tutorial written by Spite313 and jamesw

As a new citizen hopefully you'll already be following the UK tutorial however I'd like to highlight two elements from it, "Jobs, Houses and Using your House" in the eUK media and see if the citizens of the eUK would like to further support from your Government on your journey as a new player in this regard.

Other eUK citizens and Members of Congress

Please read the "Help to buy" section near the end.



Job

". . .You can make a lot of money by getting a job. So click the green “get a job” button to be taken to the job market.

You can also get to this page at any time by clicking “market” then “job market” on the blue bar at the top of the screen. You should regularly check the job market to see if there is a better paying job, as this will be your main source of income in local currency. The market shows your gross salary (before taxes) and the amount you will be paid (after taxes).

Choose the highest paying job and click apply.

Now back on the company page you can see you have a job! Note you can resign at any time, so if you find a better wage elsewhere, feel free to quit. . ."


Endless opportunities of employment


Houses (Figures adjusted to reflect today's market)

". . . Houses come in five levels, which the game refers to as ‘quality’, players shorten this to Q; so houses are available from Q1 to Q5. Each gives you a boost to your maximum health, and also generates something called “overtime points”, one for each hour your house is activated. This means that for every house you have active, you can work another time every 24 hours.

Tip: Many parties and military units offer discounted or free houses, so check to see if you are eligible before you go any further: you could save some money!

Now most houses are expensive, but a Q1 house is relatively cheap. There is one for sale in the UK at the time this tutorial was made for 3,064.98 currency. Our salary after tax is 5,005 currency a week, so it pays for itself and the account would make 6,844.92 currency profit just from having the house active. A good deal in other words; but not only do you gain currency, the house will allow you to regenerate energy quicker, and also boosts the total energy I can hold. A Q1 house gives you 2 additional energy regeneration every 6 minutes, and increases your energy bar by 50

Tip: House prices vary with the market, as do wages. You may earn more or less than at the time of this account, but the relative benefit should remain. Q1 houses are always useful to have. Other quality houses generally are not worth it as a new account: they are mainly used to improve the amount of energy storage. Older players use this benefit to help get medals for getting the most damage in a battle (Battle Hero medal) . . ."


Houses ready to move into today!

Using your House

. . .To use your house go to your storage (My places -> Storage). . . When you hover over the house it shows the benefits, and a little power sign. Click the sign enter activation mode, then click the green arrow to activate the house. This methodology can be used with other things such as boosters and accelerators: which we won’t use now, but, will be introduced at a later date. All houses last 1 week and will give you slightly more energy regeneration, a boost to your total energy and the overtime points as previously discussed. . ."



Help to buy

This Government would like to buy new citizens their first home. The MoF is currently asking Congress to approve a budget of £62,000.00 via a Donate Law proposal to eUK Royal Mint which would roughly allow us to get 20 new citizens into the housing cycle.

The theory of eligibility if new citizens are working a minimum of 5/7 days then they'd be given the cash to buy a house. Theoretically with the overtime they would have enough to then buy the next house plus profit. With current wages and Q1 house prices the incentive to use Q1 house should require little Government nudging however it's still good to help.

In an effort for this ministry to be more transparent this gSheet will be available and kept up to date with all those the scheme has support. The funds available will also be viewable in the eUK Royal Mint

However as well as decided on supporting this Government proposed scheme with a vote on the donate law proposal. I'd also like to involve Congress with the approval of applications although similar to other Government Scheme for example "TG Loans" where day to day approval decisions could be made by the relevant Minister responsible. I feel it'd be beneficial to Congressional activity to have a sub-group of perhaps 5 Congressional Members or more to discuss and approve individual applications for a funds to purchase a first house. Another the benefit is that the scheme gets a refresh every 15 days or so from a potential new intake of Congress members involved with the scheme or a new Cabinet member administrating the project



These are my thoughts I'd welcome public / Congressional discussion on this article or in the in-game Congressional thread.

If you'd like to find out more or discover if you could be eligible for such a scheme message me, the Minister of Finance Huey George
