economy idea #11

Open ayatos opened 2 years ago

ayatos commented 2 years ago

I believe id thrown this into chat before but wanted to make sure the idea was available in here for it to stick.

I was thinking what a great idea it would be to give each nationality economical pros and cons based on their nationality and socio economic values. For instance with the capitalism we know and love from IN3 wed see benefits towards working a free market role of sorts such as Bourgeois benefited from proles. For the "USSR" of sorts nationality you'd have aspects of communism where maybe resources are more easily distributed among their people, and strong social communities built on their handwork. Another benefit is communism doesn't really have "taxes" since the distribution goes back to society in fact the USSR really never had a true taxation system leading up to the 1930s. Turnover tax and income tax is about all i could see from researching and it made up a super insignificant amount of revenue for the USSR. I think with capitalism the example of a con would of course be you make more then you pay more taxes to the glorious leader, but in turn are able to generate more revenue in the moment before tax time.

With the more "fascist" group it'd i guess need to be based in the economy similar to what Nazi Germanys was based in, which would be a mixed economy that combined free markets with central planning. Benefits in that economy went to those that owned businesses that supported the regime effort so i feel this nationality would find benefit in a wartime role or some form of government helping role (sanitar type work any enforcer position), they'd have free market ideologies with some benefits for whichever business or class supports their regime. Cons would be something like smaller workers or those who arent working for the regime dont make as much. Again just spitballing, but i think pros and cons no matter how small would be neat to implement into each nationalities businesses and roles. Im not sure how doable it is but i figured it was an idea worth dropping because it could for sure play a big role in each persons choosing of their nationality. Thanks for reading!

The game takes place exclusively in liver failure

cirrhosis takes place exclusively in liver failure, anyway but while frostbite and such are possible there's no chance of them happening unless cirrhosis does well
