Random Ideas

Hellz yeah, as long a we put out a disclaimer that, if the system ends up to be completely broken as is, it'll be reset.
 
Here's a really warped idea that might make this a whole lot of fun.......and make the game a whole lot more fun in the process!

What we do is this:

You pay government officials, NPA members, etc., a salary. You allow people to set up 'companies/corporations' to make money. You then set up a tax system so that the government can get revenue to pay for the expense of running the government.

Now, of course this means that the government must have a financial policy and maintain a proper budget. Which means that the government is responsible for maintaining a sound economic/financial policy, etc.

The government can run lotteries (The TNP Lottery) offering prizes and raising money for the government.

Then we could have all kinds of spending and budget legislation in the RA.

It would work fine until the socialists took over and created NationStates' very first true socialist state resulting in a massive underclass, social unrest and economic depressions.

Then, with companies trading stock on TNP Stock Exchange we would eventually end up with an Enron or two resulting in massive civil and criminal suits.

Man, it would keep everyone busy!

Oh, and there would be an undergound economy where people exchange cash under the table but don't register the transaction unless actual transfer occurs, leading to smuggling operations, etc.

I can picture someone getting busted for selling cyber-crack on the streets of Magicality City. :P

Of course, I'm an economic anarchist which adds a whole new dimension for fun!

Maybe I can bribe Poltsy to stop using his "!!" for a few days without any explanation just to freak people out a bit.


OK, that was all a bit much. ;)

I was just having a brain fart there. Carry on.
 
possible bonus's for recruiting tnp members onto the forum?

somewhere, im sure, i was reading about a 'top tnp citizen of the week'-maybe these also get financial bonuses?

ignore me, im thinking :P
 
A "Marketplace" forum should be opened up as a subforum in Bank of The North Pacific. There nations can open stores, sell things, and buy things with the new TNP money. Auctions could even be held. Anything from old puppets to NS scripts, etc. could be sold.
 
You know, if we have a couple of creative code-monkeys around here, we could create a TNP equivalent of 'E-Gold' in which each person could transfer cash to another person's account for payments, but you would need to access your account by password to do so.

Of course, this would make bribery a real issue. I like it! :rofl:


Hey, Fedel, I hear theres a real good cyber gun-running deal going down! Want in on it? :w00t:


"Romanoffia, Dealer in Arms - Dicount Weapons that won't cost you an arm and a leg..........maybe"

I'm guessing that would be hard to do with IF, since it has limited coding capabilities. But then again, I could be wrong; I'm not too good w/ Javascript, etc.
 
I suppose this would help out the NPBA... if it ever gets off the ground.

As for the coding thing, that would probably be a beast to code, and I would not put it in until I was completely satisfied that the forum environment itself would still remain safe to operate. Many of the scripts on IF Support seem to be extremely useful and would be good to have, but many of them cause certain features not to work, and will actually prevent some people from accessing the forum at all.

Hersfold... I'm scared...

Now all we need is the professional hitmen, prostitution and gambling!
 
Then there's the issue of privacy - if all exchanges of currency/monies had to go through an offical state-owned and runned bank, it would have a hindering effect upon the economy in general. This is especially true since all transactions would have to go through the government. State ownership of all banks, econcomically speaking, is in pure terms of economics, fascism.

There would have to be provisions for exchanging monies/currency between the individuals without any need for government knowledge of why the currency is being exchanged.
 
So, to be a little more organized, shouldn't we allow attorney jobs and leave the accepting of Attorneys to the Attorney General? I mean, wouldn't that be logical?

Well, more ideas are bankers, graphic editors, investers, bartenders, etc.

Going off topic slightly because there is no on-topic place for this discussion yet:
The Attorney General is the chief prosecutor of the regional government, as opposed to the head attorney of all attorneys in the region. The title itself originated with the royal court of England from which all nations that use common law traditions in their judicial systems.
Under the TNP Constitution, the AG could appoint a prosecutor for a particular criminal case, or permit a complainant to act as their own attorney in a civil case. Other parties may represent themselves or choose a representative.
The proposal for a TNP Bar Association would create a pool of individuals who would have demonstrated a knowledge of the TNP Constitution, Legal Code and court system. It's still a proposal that originated with Pulp Phenom when he was Attorney General (and when I was serving as Minister of Justice prior to the creation of the independent judiciary.) GBM sought to further develop the proposal but it got bogged down on whether there should be a bar examination and a couple of other issues. I plan to turn some attention to this proposal once the region is past the current elections, and the vacancies on the Court are addressed by the new administration.
Getting back on topic.
If I am going to make any money in this economy it will be with the bar. Wonder why that is? ;)

Stock market based on OOC spamming:

Each amount of posts you invest into that poster goes into their total post count. At the end of the week you see how many posts they have gone up and you get money in return for however much their count went up depending on how much you invested in them.

Then everyone would invest in IG or someone akin to that.

They couldn't, because if I become a public enterprise, then I'm only going to sell a limited amount of shares. Like, if I say I'm worth 20 shares, then I'll keep 11 for myself and sell 9 of them.

I think that's actually a pretty cool idea.


Also, on another note, if we ever have a TNP University, then we can charge tuition and books and stuff. That could be a great way to generate revenue for the gov't. We'd have a regional University.

It's kind of a hard idea, because we're going to have to sell rather abstract things. Services more than goods. Maybe we should discuss the TNP stance on prostitution right now, instead of waiting...:lol:

And who wouldn't want to buy a piece of Indie Girl?

Ok, now we need gambling and hitmen...
 
Is TNP going to end up developing copright laws?

Say someone starts up a little business selling something like scripts, someone buys a script and then promptly turns around and gives it out for free, essentially preventing the person who wrote the script from making any more profits off of it.

When the person sells, say, the script, it could be sold with certain license restrictions such as no distribution allowed.
