As the operator of the Irish State Companies, I would like to re assure everyone that no one is starving. Everyone who has a State job gets paid 5 IEP. Q1 food is 3+ IEP and there is even Q2 food for less than 5 IEP.
Now as to the management part, Congress and the Cabinet have been discussing the selling of the State made products. None of which will be selling at competitive market prices. The houses we would like to sell here in Ireland to boost wellness. Now of course, not everyone can get a house, there will be those with out one for a long time maybe.
The other company is the Weapons.We have been discussing exporting the weapons Irish friendly warmongering nations. Again, not at competitive market prices, but also when supply is low and supply is high. But Collins has estimated that the weapons in stock are worth approximately 350-400 Gold. Now, it would probably be best if we the other country(s) Government and us can come to an agreement, it would look bad to see Irish State Weapons on the Romanian market or something like that. We will be trying to keep this all neutral, no nation above another due to affiliation with either alliance. A purely business aspect if you will.
On the forum in the Public Congress section, you will see there are a few aspects to such a counties likelihood to being selected for exporting our weapons.
And they are:
*Deman😛
What do ya know, war is good for something!
*Supply: This affects the overall demand due to how much or little there is selling there.
*Taxes: Just as we have import taxes, so does everyone else.
*Foreign Government: It would probably be best to make some sort of arrangement with the county's Government that we have desired to sell to.
*Cost: As part of any agreement, we would have to sell our weapons at non-competitive market prices.
All this is just what we have been working on over the past few weeks with your State Companies.

It does make to sense to have competitivly high import tax for weapons. As there isn't a great demand for weapons in this country as we well know.
any idea or date set for when state houses will go on the market in eireland because im in need of 1!!😃
@Sean the plan for Irish State housing is still in talks.
thanks pdiddy!!😃 is it likely it'll go ahead ot too early to say?
The only problem is were a neutral state, there would be people seeking to impeach our neutrality by calling us "Arm Dealers".
Nobody would know it a company owned by the state they would just see its an Irish company. And if your going to export state products then make the prices competitive its not like it will hurt domestic producers since its abroad
I agree with your formula for eligibility to receive weapons but I think we should work directly with large companies in those counries. If sold directly to those companies in bulk it would take much less oversight as the distribution could be up to them and if you're clever you could avoid that country's import taxes and not have to buy a market license.
I think the eUSA could be a good candidate, they have constant battles without actually trying to conquer other countries (except poor Baja).
I'm quite uncomfortable with this. No matter how you spin it, we are putting oursellves in a sitiuation where the Irish Government becomes an arms dealer. I believe the only people who should use arms manufactured by the Irish Government should be an Irish national in either defence or wargames.
@Patton - it wouldn't take too much investigation to figure out where the weapons were coming from
@Darktemplar, I am with you on that one.
Of course we'd have to sit down and decide where we would sell these weapons. Whether the country is an imperialist or not should be weighed against how high the price is. In terms of becoming "arms dealers" why would selling weapons be different from selling anything else? Every product in this game increases a nations ability to wage war as a final goal.
Exactly,selling weapons abroad is no different than selling food or gifts.
Ok i have a better idea, we organise war games and sell arms to the other country (well the spare arms we do not need), therefore our neutrality is not impeached as the country our wargames are against will be using them against us.
Hope this helps

Then the US/UK would be a good market in that case Niall
Umm I have lost forum link can someone please give it to me?
Thanks in advance
Am I right in thinking we'd need to have a defense system to take part in the War Games?
no we dont high
Hey, don't look now, but the Irish State gift company is out of raw materials and seems to have laid everyone off. Of course we can't get other jobs in the job market because we're still shown in the system as having a job. So if you could either get some raw materials or fire us all, that'd be great.
I think that we need to get our wargames sorted out, i really want the IDF to be tested as it looks good on paper but do we know if it will withstand a invasion by sticking as a force?
How about we keep a supply of weopons, double the number of the people in the idf, split the rest in half and sell half on the irish market and half on the us market before the wargames.

I'm very keen on some wargames soon! 🙂 I'd like to get some experience.
Year hopefully all of us will, especially the IDF im looking forward to what happens.
I'm just after applying for the Ranger Wing, got my Strength 5 today.. how do you get the "Advance 5 Strength Levels" to activate?
