PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS

Our Government is actively engaging in increasing the prosperity of all players and opening up unprecedented transparency. We have much ambition for the months ahead, and have begun taking steps to ensure that the business of our Government is handled appropriately. Cabinet voting has been restored, and a shocking number of proposals have been made for the Executive to consider.

We've already begun bold economic policy, enacting a Universal Basic Income, a tax increase of on average $0.57 per day, and a repeal of the Minimum Commission. Our goal is to boost the private sector, as more private wealth means more taxable money, while at the same time providing a basic income to employed citizens to ensure everyone has the money they need to succeed.

We are also exploring potential new player initiatives such as a DOH tent near spawn so players don't have to stumble to the Hospital with a broken leg, and a strategic goods tent near spawn where players will be able to purchase things that are commonly needed like elytras, diamonds, and wood. Both of these tents will be privately supplied, private players will sell to the Government for profit, and the Government will then resell these goods to the public. Prices will be high to encourage player to player business.

The Redmont Bar Association has begun the process of analyzing potential Judicial picks and we should be able to make a Judicial nomination within the next week.

We will also be looking to increase plot prices. The plan we've developed is simple and effective. We will be increasing the base price of plots based primarily on how far they are from spawn and major warps/landmarks, but this will have no effect on the current plot owner. The price increase will only actually have an effect in the event that the plot is resold, then the next buyer will pay the increased plot price. Final prices not yet determined.

Signed,
HugeBob
President
