Here at Forward Canada, we believe in a strong military. We also feel that the best way to get a strong military is by putting complete focus on building infrastructure in MUs. Using communes as a way to give out supplies is the best way to maximize our damage output as a country.

Here's an example:

Let's say I work in a Q7 weapons company owned by my MU. I work there for minimum wage and have to pay for all WRM I use when producing Q7 tanks. If eCanada maintains a 40% weapons bonus, I will use up 2800 wrm per day at a cost of 0.04CAD per WRM. In a week, I will need to pay 784 CAD to cover my WRM. I will also make 14 Q7 weapons per day. Each Q7 tank is worth 12 CAD, so in a week I will be given tanks worth 1176 CAD.

That's 392 CAD of increased value. By doing this you obviously don't get a salary, so I would lose 17 CAD per day (or 119 per week) which is a small price to pay. Or if you factor income taxes into it, which really it should,
then you can look at 95.2 CAD per week from salaries.

Even doing this with Q6 weapon companies is still better than working in random companies for a salary.

14 Q6 per day * 7 days = 98 Q6 weapons per week
840 WRM per day * 7 days = 5880 WRM used per week
98 tanks* 4.05 CAD per tank = 396.9 CAD
5880 WRM * 0.04 CAD per WRM = 235.2 CAD
Weekly gains= 161.7 CAD

Once again, the weekly gains are larger than the weekly salary the average soldier would lose.


But most people know this already, so why isn't the government throwing all it has behind building as many Q6(and eventually Q7) companies? Doing so will ensure our military is fully armed for any enemy that comes our way.

What if an MU is already fully equipped with communes?
Well then kudos to them. All funding that MU would normally get should then be rediverted to supporting the newest players in the MU, especially those who might find it difficult to be part of an MU because of the costs of WRM.
My hope is that everyone gets into communes and everyone reaps the benefits of it.

I find it somewhat nonsensical that the government keeps throwing CAD at MUs so their soldiers can buy weapons when a long-term investment strategy with Q6 and Q7 companies yields better returns.

Of course, soldiers will still need food and this is primarily a weapon-supply system. Luckily, you can sell those weapons earned through a commune. It may require some education on the part of the more experienced members of the MU to strike that perfect balance of selling enough weapons to use all your food fights, but even if a soldier is forced to sell all of their tanks, they still end up ahead of just working at a regular job. And yes, I did take the VAT taxes into account when selling weapons.

So that, fellow eCanadians, is why Forward Canada feels that all MU funding should be directed towards buildinginfrastructure in MUs. No doubt it could take a little while to get everything up and running, but as a nation we
will all reap the rewards of such a program.

Any questions or concerns? Leave them in the comments and I'll get back to you on it.
