We have decided to dedicate Summer 2012 to politics. The sphere we are all undoubtedly good at. The one that influences your life even if you don't actively participate in it. The one that is believed to be the great art of compromise.
 
The political life of Virtonomics will begin with the introduction of Political parties and mayors.
 
The launch is planned for mid August. Here are some details about what's coming.
 
I. Political parties
 
The political life is mainly centered around parties, which are analogues to corporations (creation, joining, etc.). The purpose of political parties is to fund political campaigns and nominate candidates for elective offices of the Virtonomics government.
 
Each political party can choose its political platform . Political platform in Virtonomics is a kind of a "specialization" of the party which determines its internal policy of the distribution of costs and income, gives certain bonuses, imposes certain restrictions.
 
There is a popularity ranking for parties in each Virtonomics city where they are represented (villa). The ranking depends on the costs of political campaign of the party.
 
II. Mayors
 
The cities will be administrated by the elected mayors nominated by political parties.
 
Voting includes votes by members of parties and votes by citizens and lasts 2 days (we are thinking of making these 2 days regularly fall to Sunday-Monday) The votes of the parties are taken into account in proportion to the level of influence the parties have in the cities; the votes of private persons are taken into account in proportion to the income of their stores and enterprises of the services sector on the day of summing up the results.
 
After the elections the winner officially assumes the office for a term of 3 Virtonomics years. There is no limit to the allowed number of terms. You can be a mayor of several cities at once Yes There will be impeachments Well
 
Each city will have its own budget, which is going to be the mayor's responsibility (both: administrative and financial).
 
Income of the city budget includes:

  • rent from premises;
  • part of the companies' costs for building and modernization;
  • assignments from regional budget;
  • municipal taxes and charges;
  • mayor's private assets (if the overall income is not enough to cover all the expenses)

Expenses:

  • unemployment benefits;
  • office employees' salaries;
  • pensions, scholarships and other social payments;
  • educational programs;
  • Costs of city improvement and the maintenance of public order;
  • one-time municipal projects;
  • sponsorship from a mayor and/or his/her political party in case of city budget surplus.

A mayor can execute the following operations:
 
1. Change lease price per one square meter of office, commercial, storage, etc. premises;
2. Regulate tax rates and charges on municipal level;
3. Regulate the percentage of sponsorship payments of the political party;
4. Initiate major municipal projects - the sweetest part of the mayor’s rights which allows to change global characteristics of the cities: education and salary levels, population numbers, scientific breakthroughs of the city, etc.
5. Block for one turn the functioning of almost any kind of city enterprises. In this case the blocked enterprise will be in a vacation mode during an update.
 
III. Future
 
These are large-scale changes, which, however, don’t cover the whole possible political spectrum of Virtonomics. After the launch we’ll be gathering statistical data and your feedback, which will help us to decide how to further develop this sector or whether to develop it at all. For now, we see three possible options:
 
1. Organizing the chain of command: from mayors to regional governors, from governors to country presidents.
 
2. New opportunities for the mayors. For example, they can develop certain product lines, etc. in order to be able to better regulate the retail commerce in the city.
 
3. Better detailed model of the world. «Ecology level», «appeal for the tourists», etc. — these are the things that could make the game more interesting, and enhance the job of the mayors.

On January 21, 2013 the new political functionality is introduced.
 
1 . The full history of expenses of the city is available to mayors, the link to which is on the main page of the mayor ("more>>>>>>").
 
2 . A combo effect of retail expanding and the municipal project with growth of salary expectations, which will be expressed in the additional growth of retail prices on goods supported by the city hall, is introduced. Existence of a combo effect is checked and at Public subsidies project start, and at start of programs of retail support. The effect can be greased according to the retail programs started long ago.
 
3 . A combo effect of retail expanding and the municipal construction Affordable housing project, which will be expressed in the additional growth of market size on goods supported by the city hall, is introduced. Existence of a combo effect is checked and at New Neighbourhood project start, and at start of programs of support of retail. The effect can be greased according to the retail programs started long ago.
 
4 . A combo effect of retail expanding and city festivals is introduced. Three updates after helding a festival shops of the city will sell goods supported by the city hall much more actively. For the empty markets it will be the unambiguous benefit for all retailers, but for saturated can lead to competition strengthening.
 
5 . A new project is introduced: "Municipal TV channel" with the price equal to 3 game points. Can be bought once in Virtonomics half-year, it is cancelled if mayor changes. Gives "immunity" to natural decrease of popularity of the mayor, increases by 50% a popularity gain from other municipal projects, activates for the advertized enterprises of the city (shops, restaurants, etc.) an additional service: "Advertisment on municipal TV channel". Service will be available on the page of advertisment of the enterprises, the income from purchase of this service by players goes to city budget.
 
Advertisment on municipal TV channel will be available in the form of the separate button on the advertisment page. Pressing the button instantly gives 200 popularity to a shop. No dependance on the efficiency of office, qualification in marketing etc. Quickly and effectively! But for a money which entirely goes to the city hall budget.

municipal tv advertising: does it offer a bonus of 200 in popularity on top of current popularity or does it just raise popularity to 200 if it is lower?

Seems that everything is clear, but what will happen if my store has 600+ popularity?
Nothing will happen. Such kind of stores won't be supported by city hall, that would be a super-cheat.

Thanks for that intel. I was afraid you might say that Very we!
 
Will you be using any of these new features in Toshkent if you get re-elected? From what I've seen this far, I fail to see which of these changes are worthwile implementing... I would be very surprised if admin just developped this for fun. They must see possible uses...

I don't have any data for politics on Lien, but on Mary, there is no way that you can even remotely earn back any type of investment for your city. You might as well just burn your money. That way you can at least enjoy watching the flames...
 

 
And in the case of retail-affecting projects, I'm not even taking into account that the gains for one field of business turns out to be at the expense of the other sectors... Ie if you're going to sponsor say Foodstuff and Groceries in Toshkent, then you're killing the other sectors...

In Laws it says:
"The elections can be initiated by a Chairman of any of the parties represented in the city (by a villa) of a the level not lower than 2."
 
Does it mean that a party must have at least a tent in order to initiate elections?
What does not lower than 2 mean?
