[Proposal] - The eSouth Korean Experiment
Ambrose Didymus
Honorable Japanese President, Japanese congressman and Citizens of the eJapan/eSouth Korean Union,
I come before you today as representative for a group who view eRepublik as an opportunity to experiment. I don't wish to waste your time, so let me get straight to the point.
The Proposal
I would like to bring eSouth Korea back onto the eRepublik map, and propose the following:
1) Ambrose Didymus (myself) transfers 60 Gold to the eJapan treasury as a sign of good faith
2) Ambrose Didymus (myself) transfers 55 Gold to the eJapanese Treasury to start a Resistance War in Jeollabuk-do. (This region has only Medium level grain as a resource and currently only 2 citizens)
3) The eJapanese Government prompts its armed forces (and any international allies) to help win the Resistance War
4) The new eSouth Korea will be created and will sign an MPP with eJapan (using the 60 Gold that I transferred in step 1 above)
5) Ambrose Didymus (myself) transfers 30 Gold to the eJapan treasury every month for the next 6 months.
The Experiment
For those that are interested, the intention of my experiment will be to experimentally determine how successful an eRepublik free-market economy can actually be.
My intention is to run the new 1-region eSouth Korean government as an absolute free-market economy (or as close to it as eRepublik can get)
That means:
- 1% Income Tax in all industries
- 1% Export Tax in all industries
- 1% VAT in all industries
- No Government run organisations
- No Government hand-outs
In short, the new eSouth Korea will be a place which embraces the ideals of total freedom. A haven for both personal and economic liberty.
Conclusion
There is absolutely nothing to lose from this proposal, I hope you can see the mutual benefit that this proposal contains and consider it in the good faith in which it has been proposed.
Please send me a message or comment below if you would like to discuss this matter in more detail.

Nice one Ambrose, very interesting. 😃
This is gonna be fun.....
Very interesting proposal. Best of luck!
yes...Interesting...& nice..
Cool, South Korea are coming back.
I would love to help out.
This is Bold and Beautiful. I'm sure eJapan would take an interest in this proposal. If Just for curiosity.
I am sorry, but the trust that the people of South Korea put into us when they asked us for protection when their country was under threat is not for sale. Japan won't sell Korean territories and assets as we are to protect them, not give them out. Ultimate sovereignty over Korean affairs lies in the hands of the people of Korea.
I miss Kim Jong Rads Comment to this 😉
I don't think that it will be profitable for you
personally when you donate such sums of money but
it would be intersting to see if it works ...
^ As Kokawa has said.
As interesting as it is but im supporting on kokowa more
An interesting idea, but I do not believe the Japanese government could support such a measure.
Even if you were able to establish a laissez faire paradise in a reformed South Korea--and I think the pride of the noble Korean people would probably prevent this--I do not think it would work well. Perhaps in a region with more than just medium grain resources, it would work better as there would be more incentive and profit.
More likely you are trying to re-establish a single region country to get access to the sweet, sweet congressional gold. Flood the country with your supporters, win the elections, and you've got quite a nice haul of gold that would more than cover any payments you would make to Japan.
No, I cannot support this.
Pigdog, you dare to stand idly by as Japan steals your country, then you dare to buy it back from them to create a capitalist's paradise where you can act out your sick little fantasies from Ayn Rand novels? You are the worst kind of scum.
dam good economical research field mate an interesting and costly idea mate
but it worth paying go for it mate best of luck
The South Korean people have put their future and trust into the hands of Japan and its government. Ultimately it is the choice of Japan's government and people whether Ambrose's plan is accepted. However, I implore you all to follow Kokawa's lead in rejecting such a proposal. While this experiment would present interesting results, that is all it will serve to do. The results of the experiment will hardly be useful in future business ventures, or anything of the sort, as such a scenario will likely never be replicated. Anyways, the majority of the Korean Won is held by myself, Alfagrem, and the ex-government's bank. This will spoil the results of the experiment.
@Ambrose Didymus: Do you also have a few hundred people to make sure SK stays save from a political take overs ? Because without it your experiment will be taken over in no time.
As A Former freedom fighter and possibly Switzerland's next President I have to say that Kokawayoshi Makoto has good reason not to support this.
Why?
Because my vision of south Korea was impossible and caused a country to ultimately fail,fall and die off.
I,Richie450 am deeply sorry for my past actions and for disturbing Japans thousand year Peace.I should of never attempted to liberate south Korea in the first place,because of my foolish acts the people of japan call me kangaroo(even though I from Venezuela).
Akki:
Richie......what the hell does this have anything to do with People wanting to bring South Korea back!!!!!
Richie:
.....I ramble on too much haven't I?
(That was to save time 🙂)
Libertarian experiment FTW!
Like our president says. South Korea see us as its 'Big Brother' and what type of brother were we if we sell our little brother just for an experiment? Not a good one!
>"@Ambrose Didymus: Do you also have a few hundred people to make sure SK stays save from a political take overs ? Because without it your experiment will be taken over in no time."
eSK was a low-tax, free market country prior to the merger and aside from fixing the currency it had adopted a laissez-faire style of economics.
The results were good and eSK's economy was perhaps its strongest area in the game.
Our weakest area was in population as we didn't have the critical mass required to ward of even a moderate PTO. If you actually have some data on what level of population you can bring to a new eSK and it is deemed sufficient then maybe talks can precede.
bro shut up,
home dawg tis is some funky crap yo ass is givin' to us....
@Alfagrem - It would be impossible for me to guarantee a level of population, but I have the backing of over 15 individuals at the moment. Probably not enough to ward off a Political Take Over
I don't think this is the best argument against this though - it would be my Gold that I am spending and I know the risks going in.
Thanks for your comments all, i'm discouraged by the President's words, but if the people of your union are split over this decision, then I am willing to go talk.
One thing I would like to make clear is that I don't intend to run as President of this new eSouth Korea - I simply want to take part in the experiment...and can include this in any contract you would like to draw up
I do not stand to make any money from this, but I do intend to gain knowledge...which I believe to be far more valuable.
I hope those of you against this remember this peaceful offer when other more threatening individuals force your hand with a less-than-generous proposition.
Suddenly the comment by the article author threatening us with violence in the case of non-compliance was removed. How ironic.
True. I would help out if there were enough people supporting but as far as right now goes, I'm afraid socialist forces would infiltrate the government and use it as a stepping stone for their own ideals. Find enough players that are dedicated to the free market economy maybe. As far as the idea goes, it sounds like a plan.
Sorry, I wouldn't support this. We took in SK on the condition that we would help them better themselves. Until the time comes that SK can handle itself and stabilize (or the koreans think it will be), they will be under our protection.
No amount of gold is worth giving away one of their regions.
There is something to lose, for korea. Why are you asking us and not the people of korea?
Plenty of gold has already been spent on eSK (believe me).
If/When eCitizenship is introduced (and population therefore becomes less important) then we will be returning to an independent eSK and our model would seem to be a similar model to the one that you propose.
Anyone wishing to attempt a RW to create a new eSK is welcome to give it a go but they'd either have to spend a lot of Gold to get a decent region, fight off any PEACE comeback and invest over 400G in printing KRW to be able to acheive parity with our KRW reserves as well as starting up new companies etc...
If you got yourself a couple of thousand gold doubloons - go for it.
i must say that this experiment sounds interesting
but i, as a Korean cannot let my country be turned in to a capitalists heaven,
thus i must go against this proposal
@Dr.gen - In the first line of the article, i have addressed all people who would be impacted by the proposed change (which includes those formerly part of eSouth Korea).
I'll simply pursue something else with my Gold.
Although I think you have missed an opportunity to pursue something interesting instead of being just another eRepublik nation, I wish the people of eJapan/eSouth Korea all the best.
Thank you to those who seriously considered this proposal.
It is a very interesting idea but I also agree Kokawayoshi Makoto
> "Although I think you have missed an opportunity to pursue something interesting instead of being just another eRepublik nation."
The opportunity you offered is (to the eSK viewpoint) basically a return to what we had prior to the merger with eJapan i.e Free markets, free economy, numerous investment opportunities and companies in all sectors.
The reason eSK ceased to exsist was not due to lack of gold or riches but due to;
1. Low population = PTO's and gold miners.
2. Bugs in the export market depriving eSK of markets and RM imports.
3. The small population that we did have was largely inactive in the media and on the forums leading to poor retention rate.
If you can address those issues then you have something to offer. If you cannot then I'd helpfully advise you to save your gold for a safer bet.
I would help this experiment out if it came to be. If executed correctly, eSK could come out with thousands of citizens.
Pretty words, but the truth of the matter is that the Lesser Korean government will never willingly free the territory of south Korea.
They continue to claim they are helping south Korea while coming up with excuses to avoid supporting freedom whenever they can.
"I hope those of you against this remember this peaceful offer when other more threatening individuals force your hand with a less-than-generous proposition."
I must have missed this. Well, it contradicts to your whole plan. If we were to give you a region to inhabit, the chances of it being taken over while in your control is more likely. Since now we have a whole country behind it. Thanks for the warning though, I'll be sure to remember that you took the switch from peaceful to aggressive in a few posts.
Taking over a country, surprisingly, also increases its chances of being taken over.
>Pretty words, but the truth of the matter is that the Lesser Korean government will never willingly free the territory of south Korea.

The lesser Korean government has no regions on the peninsula and seems currently engaged in a civil war between president Snayke and some other goons.
I'm afraid you have the Lesser Korean government confused, sad gremlin man.
A.K.A. The leaders of the Land of The Rising Sun or some other shameful braggart phrase.
Seems nice, Ambrose! Now lets see if the president of Japan gives permission to that. Althrough, its better than the political state that Kim Jong Rad wanted to create.
A free market still has taxes... some sort of regulation of the government is needed..
