Domestic Department Thread: Term 3

[eyrei]

Sorry for my absence. A combination of sickness and network outages kept me offline.

I will update this post shortly.

 

[chiefpaco]

I wish to request a plan from the Domestic Dept. to build the Universal Suffrage wonder which I think will be a key to successs in our representative government.

It is in the works. We do, however, need the cooperation of the science department.

BTW, what happened to the history thread? I always use it as a reference while at work.

 

[Duke of Marlbrough]

The History Department Thread has been moved the the Citizens Forum. Here's a link to it.

We have fallen to 6th place in literacy! How could this be? What will we do to correct this terrible situation?

 

[Curufinwe]

I've been telling you people we've been falling for 1 month now, no one paid attention, now you know.

 

[eyrei]

The reason we are behind in literacy is that we have so many cities, and while most have libraries, it takes awhile to build universities in corrupt cities. The completion of the FP will help to remedy this. Most of the AI civs have far fewer cities to build science improvements in, and so most have universities.

I think that CAP and the upgrade of our military should take priority over saving 1000 gold. At the very least, appropriations should be made now based on estimated income. Arrangements could be made so that the appropriations are spent in such a way that the treasury does not fall below a certain level. For example if CAP is allocated 300 gold but the treaury should not be allowed to fall below 600 gold then we'd have to have 900 gold in the treasury before the CAP funds could all be spent. This would allow all or part of thes funds to be spent during a turn chat rather than postponing all spending for a complete turn chat.

 

[Chieftess]

This is a reminder too all cabinet members and governers to post their turn chat instructions here for tonight's turn chat, if you haven't done so already.

 

[Strider]

The NSD would like to propose a deal. We wish to bring the science rate as high as possbile while still making atleast 20 GPT. till we get Motorized Transportation.(Tanks!!!)

The current science queue is set by the most direct(while still getting all of the wonders as fast as possible)way. All other techs can be trades/bought from the other civs if possible.

 

[eyrei]

The fastest we can get industrialization is 7 turns, which still leaves us well over 20 gpt. We would take a loss if we raised it any higher.

 

[donsig]

I formally request that the domestic department post departmental instructions in the current turn chat thread. This should be done even if the department will be represented at the turn chat.

As a reminder, the domestic department supplies build queues for Istar and province #10 (Chondote), specifies the sci/tax/lux rates to be set, allocates funds from our treasury and makes decisions on wonder building.

 

[donsig]

The President's office has the following requests:

1) CAP be refunded now that phase one of our military modernization is complete and our economy is strong once again. This vital program was fallen by the wayside and must be ressurected!

2) Cooperation (via the science rate setting) be given to the NSD in our bid for technolgical superiority.

3) Our wonder building program be reformulated with a view towards the pre-building of more wonders. It may be best to build the Military Academy in Fox Nest or to hold off on building it altogether so that Pherris can be geared towards pre-building a wonder.


Turn chat 1315 AD (June 12)

hy eyrei,
i would like to point your attention to something, as ameri lost its governor:
1) civanatoria would be a good producer with ironworks, factory and massive railroading
2) ironworks cant be directly started because of some reason we could not identify (ppbly disbanding or de-foresting while prebuild)
3) almost no rails around it
so i would propose the following actions taken by the domestic leader, as interim governor of ameri:
1) rush factory in civanatoria (at any cost!)
2) start ironworks directly after this
3) massive railroading around the worked tile of civanatoria to max-out production.

we also have a salpeter-spot which lies withing the cultural border of our chinese neighbor neas san-francisco, which we can not allow, as sanfran is the capitol of our province! foreigners claiming our lands are a pain for all proud ameri citizens.

 

[eyrei]

I very much like the plan for Civanatoria, and will allocate the funds necessary if there are no objections.

 

[donsig]

Our settler is on the way to the east coast. Please include instructions for city placement in the turn chat thread! I'm not sure of the exact location so please specify: 3 tiles SW of Tsingtao for example.

We should have a name for the city as well. The current *naming queue* according to the naming rights section of the constitution is:

Chiefpaco, Strider, Rain

Naming rights in the constitution.

Turn chat 1340 AD (June 16)

 

[eyrei]

The Domestic Department hereby authorizes changing of the science/tax/luxury rate at any time provided it does not affect the number of turns taken to research the next tech.

 

[disorganizer]

hy eyrei,
could look look thru proposal "new provincial borders for Kashmir"?
if its ok with you then please post an official poll for approval of the border-change.
the governor and i believe this will boost both provinces (asphinxia and kashmir) and will get us rid of the lost province of chondote to be governed by the domestic department.

 

[chiefpaco]

The Department of Foreign Affairs would like to draw the attention of the Domestic Dept regarding a plan to build the Intelligence Agency. More details can be found here:
Foreign Affairs Proposal for June 20 Turn

 

[chiefpaco]

Can we start the Intelligence Agency somewhere?
