After some discussion with Jack concerning the Thai Union Party, we have decided to venture into a new direction to add a different perspective within the politic forum.
We have now changed the party to the FRoSEA Socialist Party, and will espouse a more liberal and broader government in which we support more government programs for our populace.
We support programs such as a National Wellness Program in which the government funds regular gifting to our citizens to further provide wellness for those who do not participate in the Sol Wargames.
We support housing raffles in which the government will weekly purchase at least a Q1 house and give it away to a lucky FRoSEA citizen whose number is drawn.
We support the idea of government companies for more than simply training vehicles. The government companies can make profits via exporting or be used to stockpile goods in the case of a national emergency.
We support a well funded military in which all our soldiers (those who have signed up for the military and participate in weekly roll-calls and follow orders accordingly) receive weapons, gifting, and moving tickets as needed to participate in the various operations around the world or at home.
These are just a small portion of our goals...but most importantly we need people who are liberally like-minded to join us. Dont be another DAP or FUP clone. Join the revolution!

Voted, always wanted a socialist-party in FRSEA
why would some citizen not participate in Wargames,it's best way to level up...
nice, some new culture. I like the wellness program, but i will stick with DAP.
Jeff, they support the current wellness program (which was started by me) if I got it right, so there's really no need to leave DAP over it. Of course you might like their stances on other things better.
And good luck to Babylibra7 and Jack with the party!
Btw would you increase taxes to support your planned more extensive spending?
Interesting. Good luck with the party.
Hmm, reading again I might have misunderstood and you'd provide additional gifting to those who are not participating in the Sol Games by their own will. True?
voted. I am in for socialist-focus, but i am sticking with DAP as DAP has clearer economics-focus with good social program (Welfare office and Gifting program).
I can only see the new housing raffle as something new.
If you re hardline socialist - may i propose nationalisation of all companies? Haha. too bad we cannot do 'individual taxes' otherwise, we can nationalise all companies, and then propose cheaper taxes for State-own enterprise.

"Hmm, reading again I might have misunderstood and you'd provide additional gifting to those who are not participating in the Sol Games by their own will. True?"
Yes. While strictly looking at this game mechanics wise, yes participating in the Sol Games is beneficial...BUT if you approach the game from a RP viewpoint...some may want to be pacifists and still have the good health benefits.
As long as Ive been in the game (well over a year now), simply playing for the sake of "leveling" is really going to get you nowhere, but bored out of your mind.
This is a party designed for those who want more out of the game than just "leveling" and clicking a few buttons.
Not to overshadow what Nagyzee has done, but ya know I was a two-time president in Thailand and I started the National Wellness Program quite successfully back in Nov of last year. And even then other countries ran such programs even before I did in Thailand.
The housing raffle also works and requires a very minimal raise in taxes.
In the end, if you want more out of the game than just being a vague, moderate carbon copy of the major parties...and more than just "leveling"...you'll take a chance and broaden your horizons a bit.
So should the state spend money on those who are not willing to push the fight button? I think if one wants to be a pacifist then he/she shouldn't train his/her strength maybe and push the fight button once per day strictly for wellness. It's quite a luxury for the state to gift people who are not willing to increase their wellness for free.
Of course I can understand if someone doesn't want to push a button and feels pacifist for it, but he/she should bear the consequences of such a decision.
Representing Federal Unity Party, I would like to extend my congratulation to the leadership of FRoSEA Socialist Party on its reformation from Thai Union Party. The reformation strengthen the nation democracy. I do hope we will be able to cooperate on common ground issues (social service, military funding).

I would like to hear more about your thinking behind the plan to help those who do not take part in the Sol training wars and any others that might happen along the way (check the International Events list for a hint).
If you add government openness to your ticket - and take 'authoritarian' off - I'm with you, and I suspect that a few others will be too.
Voted. If you think of it as either or then fighting is better than gifting. But there are two reasons to at least rethink that:
1. Gifting people below 40 so they can fight.
2. People that don't fight, for whatever reason, still work. Raising their wellness through getting them into battles is good, but barring that gifts are good as well.
So should the state spend money on those who are not willing to push the fight button?
The state should take care of all its citizens regardless of whether they participate in war or not. As I said, game mechanics wise, yes I do understand how fighting + hospital = healing works...Im simply offering another outlet for those who want more than to blindly work within the game mechanics.
"I think if one wants to be a pacifist then he/she shouldn't train his/her strength maybe and push the fight button once per day strictly for wellness."
They could do that...or they could continue training to raise strength so that if in the event of an attack on our soil ever occurred they would have the strength to possibly make a difference in the battle to help our nation.
@Gertrude
Done. Government transparency has long been an ideal that I have tried to follow. We've documented all our transactions for the Wellness Program and Housing Raffles in the past in eThailand. There's no reason we cant do that here as well.
I agree thoroughly with Jack statement:
"In the end, if you want more out of the game than just being a vague, moderate carbon copy of the major parties...and more than just "leveling"...you'll take a chance and broaden your horizons a bit."
I hope you can recruit more of the new babies to join your cause!
Developing a bit of socialist style RP, that could be a nice addition. The mechanics make it tricky, but free gifts for those who don't actually bother to fight, well, that's good solid socialism eh? The state takes care even of the lazy ones.... 😉
I can back up 100% that Jack Roberts has always provided a transparent government when it comes to fiscal responsibility. Programs developed have always worked in the favor of the betterment of the country.
Good luck to the FRoSEA Socialist Party.
I just don't understand what you gain by not fighting in a training war for wellness. It doesn't even make you more of a pacifist. But I'm fine with people doing that. I just don't agree with that the government should spend money to increase someone's wellness just because said someone is deliberately unwilling to raise it for free.
@Vincent Garibaldi, I think you are not aware of the current situation at all. We are already contacting everyone under 40 wellness and gifting / feeding them up to 40 wellness. The question is about whether the state should spend major money on those to gift them further who are not willing to raise their wellness for free from 40 up.
@Nagyzee
Let me explain a bit more for you...
eThailand was a lot different for a small country. There was more of an RP feel there. We had a hospital in every region and two DS systems. Those were not placed out of a matter of necessity, but out of national pride and a bit of social RP.
It made every region in the nation liveable to a point if you wanted to participate in a war, you didnt have to move to the one region with a hospital. It gave a sense of regional pride along with the national pride.
Again, its not simply about "gaming" the flawed design of eRepublik. Its about creating a real, breathing community in which it becomes more than the game. Its about attempting to mirror real life just a bit...in which in real life you arent rewarded with good health for fighting.
We're trying to recreate a bit of that peaceful community we had in eThailand and spread it to this union.
