Manifesto(Early Edition)
Government Positions
Privacy
This question has been plaguing eIndia for MONTHS now.
I had planned to talk about it, but forgot to touch the topic in my early edition of the Manifesto.
Thanks to Ashwamedh for bringing it to my notice

What are executive powers?
-> Powers held by an executive.
In government, the president and his cabinet is called the executive branch. With the title comes powers too. Whenever any executive takes a decision without informing and consenting with the elected body of the country (Congress). He/She is using is executive powers.
What is the issue with it?
-> It is not an issue unless made one. Executive powers are a necessity and no government/Organization can function without them. But they can be misused or misinterpreted though.
Many times they are used to take decisions when the executive feels the congress will be against him. Many times they are used to take swift decisions which require national emergencies.
Differentiating between the two is all upto the person's judgment.
My take on it
-> I am going to be using executive powers, I can't function without them.
But I will make sure if and ever any executive power is used, the congress will be informed at alleviated pace. Then in most cases the congress will have the power to refute any decision if they vote against it, and the executive decision will be withdrawn.
The congress will have the final say in almost everything.
Executive powers will be involved in the following cases->
a) National Security is at risk.
b) Hung congress: The congress is split evenly at a decision, but something has to be done. So then an executive decision would be made.
c) Inactive congress: If the congress fails to respond appropriately to a pressing concern within 24 hrs.
Who has executive powers in my government?
-> All the top officials which includes the President, Secretary, Vice-President, Prime-Minister, MoX, MoEA, MoHA, MoF, MoD, TnC head, NPF head.
They all don't have equal powers, which I will explain here->
(Every higher authority also has the executive powers defined in the ministry which they directly head)
1) President: Has ALL executive powers.
2) Secretary: Has ALL executive powers(can only use them if he gets no response from the President within 6-12 hours)
3) Vice-President: Has executive powers over the Defense and the External Affairs (can only use them if he gets no response from the President or Secretary within 12 hours).
4) Prime Minister: Has executive powers over the Finance and the Internal Affairs (can only use them if he gets no response from the President or Secretary within 12 hours).
5) MoX: Has complete executive powers in the expansion dept. (can only use them if no response from the top 4 within 24 hrs).
6) MoEA: Has executive powers over diplomatic relations and modes of actions with other countries (can only use them if he gets no response from the President, Secretary, Vice President within 12 hrs).
He can take a final decision on any military related issue if he consults with the MoD. (No response from the top 4 within 6 hrs)
7) MoHA: Has executive powers over any of the three branches under him: IWC, IFA, CM.
He has no wait period (but President, Secretary or Prime Minister needs to informed ASAP)
😎MoF: Has executive powers over the operation of any company under the government. Has the authority over all the funds of the government. (No wait period for any transaction under 100g, for anything above needs approval of president or PM)
9) Mo
😨He can take a final decision on any military related issue if he consults with the MoEA. (No response from the top 4 within 6 hrs). Has the executive powers to deploy the Indian army as he wishes (No wait period).
10) TnC: He will have total executive powers over the funds allocated to him.
11) NPF hea
😛His executive powers will entrail Approving/Disapproving any incoming Immigrant requests + Banning any suspicious person in the forums.
All the Ministers will have to post in their specific forums with their reasoning as soon as they make any decisions.
Wage Structure:
I talked in my manifesto about wages for government officials, Here's how its gonna look like.
Job Tiers->
Tier 5: VP, PM and Secretary.
Tier 4: MoEA, MoHA, MoD, MoF, MoX.
Tier 3: (Heads)IAF,NPF,TCA,BEA,CBI.
Tier 2: (Heads)CM, IFA, IWC.
Tier 1: Citizens Mentors, Assistants, Committee members.
Wages
🙁In INR)
Tier 5 -> 30 INR a week
Tier 4 -> 24 INR a week
Tier 3 -> 17 INR a week.
Tier 2 was going to have wages, but I have decided to allow Tier 2 to be off the government payroll as their decisions do not affect our diplomacy. Hence they are free to join AHF,
Tier 1, can't be paid because of sheer numbers in the tier and the insufficient funds in the government.
National Goals
Because of this new introduction, I will spend some time telling my goals:
- Economy: Increase the GDP by 10 %
- Society: Increase the population by 10 %
- Military: Keep current regions (edited)
I have a low GDP goal, as GDP calculations are very skewed in eRepublik.
It shoots up and down depending on gold spent.
So if we create a Q5 company right now, the GDP will shoot up.
Our GDP was around 450g last week and is 360g right now. I have no idea what our actual GDP is, hence commenting on it is not really feasible.
Society goal is 25%: This is more than any eIndian president has managed in the last 6 months. Though the last term doesnt count because majority of the new citizens are multis.
Military: My target is to give India their last 2 plausible regions, not through wars, but through diplomacy.
Gold Rush:
I need a team of 10 committed members. This is going to be the MOST VITAL job in the government.
Their duties will be explained to people when they apply.
This wont be an official branch of the government, so these 10 members can be AHF members too.
PM me if you are interested.

niceone Good luck.. though in last 2 months we shoot up from abt 600 to 1k... which is over 50% for 2 months...🙂 and i guess this term saw abt 30% jump from about 700 to 980...
hehe logged into org..- Its shail 😛 sry
yes and I wrote in article itself.. the last two months dont really count, as 200+ out of those 300 gain is multis
Arj few points.
1> Idk about the wage, how much deserved it is. If its no issue, I'd like to skip the wage, my part at least, if I'm in the administration. Thx for the concern though. 🙂
2> Yes, Executive powers are most vital, and communication is a most significant component as I have maintained always. But the whole tier structure, isn't it over-complicating a simple thing? Sorry for the doubt, but it seems like it'll become a situation of too many cooks spoil the broth.
3> National Goals. Simply speaking the module is useless as such. At the moment you are and will be the only candidate, so there is no issue over competing over higher goals. While in essence our goals should be high, the whole point of the goals are achieving all and gaining those damn monuments. Heh
So in which case, let's just have the lowest possible targets/values. Whatever we DO achieve is a bonus for us, and there is no scope of being short of our 'goals'. We get the shiny monuments. Simple. Its not like in reality we are setting short goals.
Specifically though, I have no clue about our GDP and how much its increased or decreased. I doubt most know anyways. Still a 10% increase seems steep to me.
A 25% population growth is around 225 new Citizens, possible, but not definitive. Personally my target is to take it to 1200. But as far as the goal itself is concerned, imo we should keep lowest possible value.
Finally regions, imo we should target retaining current regions only. Given the delicate nature of foreign affairs, one never knows what's around the corner. And its not as simple as it seems.
Anyways these we will discuss more of course. Thanks!

I lol'ed 😛
Seriously dude, at one point you say govt. doesn't have enough funds, and then you say lets pay the rich guys more so we can get rid of that money?
They need money to serve the country eh?
They already have what they need, if not more...
P.S. The President is not allowed to pay anything to anyone without congress approval.
President 😕= Didtator or King.
@Akash - I see nothing wrong in having a wage structure for govt. officials. Whether they have enough money or not is not the question - they are working for the country and they deserve some govt. pay. This does not mean people will suddenly work for the money though if people are NOT working it will give them a reason to earn their stipend. And I'm sure some people will decline the payment...which is cool.
As for dictator/king I think Arjaa already made it clear that any executive actions taken will be overturned if the Congress rejects it. Its the first time I've seen a President/Presidential candidate put it down it stone so clearly.
My personal opinion is that all of Arjaa's manifestos put together give us a very good base to build a constitution for our country!
Akash #1.. rich guys?
If u know who those ministers are, 8/13 of them don't even own a company. haha
This is a small amount, which amounts to less than 2000 INR a month. and all of the money comes back as these people will mostly use it for buying more weapons. Hence not an issue.

#1 almost all of the people have asked to not receive a wage, which is a noble deed among all of us.
#2 The tiering is for wages, as for executive powers.. I wanted to give a formal outline.. so if we ever use it or misuse it. We have something to fall back and say -> we said this in our mission and we r not breaking it. Something on that order.
#3 National goals, yes I was very confused as whether to pick the lowest ones or the most useful ones.
10% GDP is quite attainable actually, this is pretty easy.. the other r d hard ones.
25% Population growth I have maintained, just so people can say.. we had a high goal and we did it.
2 region one, yea.. admitted foolish. Changed
I personally don't think its a) viable, and b)necessary.
This is not like RL bureaucracy where they are doing a 'job' as Govt officials and hence getting paid for it. Here we all have jobs, and this is responsibility we are taking on voluntarily. Moreover, imo being in Govt itself is pay enough, because, let's be frank, doing something more than work and train, itself is exciting - not a 'job' or a 'duty' per se. We get to use our talents for the sake of the community, and wages mean that the very community is paying us to do it. Why would or should they? After all the Ministry isn't elected. Only the President and Congressmen are. Yes we have their trust and support, but that does not mean we use that for our benefit.
I hope I am clear on my point though. If you guys feel its viable and fine, I don't have a say in the matter, except that as I said, I won't be taking any wages. Thanks
Good one..Promises to put in place a strong mechanism that could be used in future as well.
I'll skip my wage too Arjaa 😉 Thank you very much for the idea, anyway!
A little question about diplomacy: what do you think about Bihar RW?
we ask congressmen to donate their congress winning gs to IGB and here we are seeing proposal to give govt guys wages.
also executive powers.
these were the same ones for which guys like shail and david were crucified and were told they act like dictators
i dont need to give any explanation. all know what i am saying.
Vigi~~ they are working for the country and they deserve some govt. pay.
We are all working for the country, so what do you say? We are all going to get payed?
I don't think so, and even if that was promised I would never accept it.
If money makes them work, then at such high posts, I don't think they are worth sitting there.
I am sure all that are loyal to the country will happily decline the wages, then why offer them in the first place?
Do you know ANY country which offers wages to govt. officials?
hm.. non-existent I think.
Again, are we richer than the richest country that doesn't offer any wages either? o.O
This extra expenditure is not needed, but you have your own supporters on the point too. So I guess I will stop here. Its your choice, do whatever you want, but you don't have my support on the wage point.
Apart from the good luck.
i dun no which tier i am but i dont think i will need the wages , i join govt to help it not to get paid
@Akash - people working on official govt. duties are different from just you and me doing what we can for our country.
I'm not sure about whether any other country has it...
at one point you say govt. doesn't have enough funds, and then you say lets pay the rich guys more so we can get
Guys, please do note, Arjaa meant nothing but the best with this proposal. If there are issues, as I have raised with him here and on msn as well, I am sure he will smooth-en them out, and take the decisions that are best for eIndia. Let's not get into arguments over this. Thanks
Mav
Looks great! But one question...
Would the MoF's salary be Tier 4 or 3? Or is his salary the entire treasury? 😛

KEEP IT SIMPLE
nice
I agree with Rob and Vigi. If u want the wage, take it and if u don't want simply refuse it. But I must say u've worked hard on manifesto Arjaa, It's a nice one. Voted and My vote is for u in election 😉
Myung - MoF is in tier 4
I agree, who cares about the pay. If you don't want it don't take it. This is a nice structure, and it has nothing to do with rich or poor guys. And what is so horrifyingly wrong with making something in eRep similar to a RL situation. You do a job, you get payed. You don't want to get payed, then you don't take the pay. Simple as that. We shouldn't argue on this either. This is Arjaa's manifesto, its up to him.
HE is not giving the wages, if he is paying the wages from his pocket, then I'm sorry for misunderstanding.
The govt. treasury is going to be drained by this. All I know is even the richest countries don't have this unnecessary expenditure and neither should we.
I rest my case.
Lol so who is hiding behind the cover of IAI?
I have explained my reasoning, so if u can bother read thru. 😛
see Arjaa if u want to pay people back, then dont take 5 gold in the first place..forget that 5 gold payment and dont waste government pay on wages..
