Hello everyone!

 

"What does a minister can officially do?" I'm sure that you know the answer. A minister has no official power.

 

The country president has the ability to appoint (officialy) citizens to five roles: MoD, MoF, MoFA, MoE and PM.

 

Does it change anything? No, it's just an official political title. The official power is still in the president's hands.

 

I am sure that each current and former minister would like to have more official power. For example:

 

Minister of Defense: Allowed to propose NE & AS law proposals. Can also set the CoD.

 

Minister of Finance: Allowed to propose trade embargoes, money donations and propose changes in the taxes.

 

Minister of Foreign Affairs: Allowed to propose MPP law proposals.

 

Minister of Eduction: Allowed to change the welcome message.

 

These options are available to each minister, whether he is a congress member or a standart citizen.

 

The target is to give the ministers official power regarding their political role.

 

The congress members will still be able to propose law proposals.

 

However, after the minister has proposed a law, it will first pass to the president's "office" for examination.

 

If the president approves, the law will be sent to the congress. If it's rejected by the president, the law won't be proposed.

 

What is the target of this kind of change? Not much, but at least ministers will have some official power.

 

Another thing that could be a great addition is a new title: Minister of Immigration.

 

The immigration minister is allowed to examine citizenship requests BEFORE the congress members have seen it.

 

If he approves a request, the congress members are allowed to approve/reject it.

 

If he rejects it, the request will expire and not presented to the congress.

 

 

 

 

As mentioned, laws proposed by ministers will first pass through the president.

 

The president will see a brand new section in the bottom of the country administration page.

 

 

 

 

In case that a country doesn't have a congress, laws that can be proposed by both ministers and congress members will be removed.

 

For example: MPP, money donation, taxes changes etc are not allowed to be proposed by ministers.

 

This is an old suggestion and I'm almost sure that you've already read it. I still believe that it's better than the current system.

Don't forget about Minister of Interior! |:

Moreover, Minister of Foreign Affairs should be able to appoint country Ambassadors.

Moreover, Minister of Foreign Affairs should be able to appoint country Ambassadors.

 

I had a feeling that I should add this idea (it has been suggested more than few times), but it is not an official option in the game, so I chose not to mix it up in this post. Of course that if the admins add this kind of feature, the MoFA should be the one with the power to appoint the ambassadors.

I'd set this as a permission granted by the Country President when he appoints Ministers, a check for the option 'Can propose laws'; if you get the Country President to confirm every law Ministers propose, it's better to keep the actual system and let CP itself propose them.

Ministers should have the power of enforcing the laws passed by congress and signed by the President.  For example, Minister of Defense is responsible for enforcing agreements (NAP's), structure of the military and Defense fiscal matters.  Minister of Finance should have the authority, while in office, to enforce or review financial transactions within the borders of their country.

 

One additional position should be created: The Attorney General - whom, should it be needed, act as prosecutor against violators of the country's laws.

 

Judicial matters decided by Congress.

Minister of Immigration, well, it takes away democracy?

If one country is PTOed, and someone wants to ATO it, they won't be avaiable if Min. of Immigration is PTOer.. :/

Wow, I've read many good ideas at forum.erepublik.com but this one touched me, I Agree with most of it except of immigration..
I think CP should be able to give cs.

[Sarrena]

Another good idea which will probably be ignored. Would make the ministers jobs a lot easier than they are now.

[Ja nisam Bosko Buha]

You need to find a way how this options would make money for admins. Now this is just idea how to make game better for players but no money for admins.

Maybe implementing NEW ONE TIME ONLY MINISTER STASH, you buy that stash for idk 15 euro and you get all those options unlocked.
