[Kravenn/Kevy] Economic manifesto

Kravenn
This is my second manifesto and like the titles says, it will talk about economics.
With the unfortunate events running up to the 25th this month, we were unable to have congress elections. That mean that from December 26 to January 26 : we can’t move Gold or GBP from country accounts to our organisations. This is an issue but thanks to months of saving we have enough to survive. However, during this month I plan to cut where funding is not as important and focus on schemes like those mentioned in my domestics manifesto (here) because I feel that young citizen’s progression is vital to our future success.
Once we get to the 26th we should hopefully be able to gain congress again and have the ability to dedicate more GBP to different schemes if need be.
Current Economic schemes
Oil and Iron Scheme
There will be a change in this scheme : Even if Oil and Iron Scheme works well and give opportunity to a young citizen to use his Weapon Raw Material for Weapons or sell them on the market.
However, to help him/her in his/her progression : we will add a Fruit orchard. It will help the progression of the young citizen and (s)he will not need to invest 2000GBP for this company to upgrade his/her towncenter on Quality 4
Embargo every hostile country
Even with high import taxes, we have no reason to give our GBP to countries who want to wipe us. If I am elected I am going to follow what started a few months ago and embargo all TEDEN countries to avoid them making a profit on our market.
Our currency, even if we have enough, we need to take care (especially without congress)
Continue the scheme “Government Discount weapons”
This was the latest scheme launched by our Minister of Finance. For christmas, the admins proposed a new quality of weapon and food. However, the price of Q6 tanks can be high which is why I want to continue the scheme to cut the price if you buy your Q6 tanks directly to the government, with the more tanks you buy, the cheaper the price (per weapon) is
Land Grants
Due to the overwhelming demand for this scheme I want to limit the amount of land grants per citizens to 5 whilst we have no congress. Once we have congress again we can increase the limit. It’s a difficult decision to make but I’ve seen it as one of the best ways to reduce our spending temporarily whilst thinking of younger citizens at the same time. If you think about it a lot of younger citizens are not even going to purchase more than land grants at a time and this scheme pretty much benefits the older citizens of this country.
Just some clarification. If you received more than 5 land from the scheme, you need to wait 20 days. If you received less than 5 land, you can still subscribe to the scheme, no change (only limited to 5 during 20 days)
Reduce MPP costs
I don’t want huge changes but we need to reduce number of our MPPs. Don’t be afraid, MPPs with our main allies will be signed (ONE MPPs) but we have some MPPs with countries who are currently wiped. I am not against signing MPPs with them once they are back on the map or if they specially request our help. But it will not be an automatic renew.
But cut only where it is needed
Cut “work in ministry” scheme
Some months ago, this scheme was created : every citizen who worked in a minister received 500GBP at the end of the term and the best worker (of each ministry) received 1000 GBP. I am not opposed at this scheme, but without congress, I want to cut where it is needed. This cut could save us the price of one MPP (10.000 GBP).
Taxes Debate
Like I already said, without congress : We can't change taxes. However, once we will have one (on January 26), I will launch a thread about that.
Cabinet applications :
I am still looking for citizens who are interested in joining my Cabinet.
These positions are still available
- Minister of Defence (2 places)
- Minister of Foreign Affairs (2 places)
- Minister of Finances (1 place + 1 assistant)
- Minister of Home Affairs (2 places)
- Minister of Legislative Affairs (1 place)
- Minister of Media(1 place)
I would like to have a mix of old guards and some new fresh faces : Everybody has his/her chance to be selected.
To Apply for a job : Send me a private message on the forum explaining what job do you want (and why) and what is your current experience.

The reason you refered to the work in a ministry scheme as being months ago was because it hasn't been done since then... All you've written is "We will continue x".

It is never nice to cut in spending. But without congress it is best to do savings on the experienced ones. The new citizens we ned to become stronger. The old ones have their own factories.
Go Kravenn!

"With the unfortunate events running up to the 25th this month..."
That was a feature, not a bug.
trololololololo!
Asked a question on your Domestic manifesto. Hopefully you'd be polite enough to respon😛
Why do you, the MoD in charge of the UKAF during it's recent fiasco, dating back over the past 2 months, feel that you are qualified enough to run CP, when you completely ruined the UKAF?
The current UKAF is a disgrace, and it's entirely your fault.

good luck
Did I get it right? Are you planning to bypass taxing by selling weapons directly to citizens during the non-congress period? Does it mean you are planning to buy weapons from manufacturers on actual net price?
The Fruit Orchard scheme already exists, once again thanks to our lovely Veruvia, you might want to pay some attention to the forums.
I also fail to see how not giving newer players money for their ministry work helps strengthening our newer players.
You seem to think that we're going bankrupt in 5 days or something while our financial status is not actually that bad, we just can't spend a random 200k on something useless, and another 200k there.
Frerk: the forums are so crowded I cant keep track of anything that goes on there.
I've made a total of like 6 posts and I don't even know where, why or when 😛
If you need money, could you just raise it through minimal interest bonds to UK citizens?
The thing is, we're not broke. We've got tons of GBP. It's not like cutting 20K here or there is going to save our lives. : |
iirc UK reserves total in the millions of gbp we should be fine for atleast 1 congress term
