OOC: Economical landscape

[Pero Coveilha]

Economical landscape

Are the GMs to formatize the economical landscape like they did about the EUtopian geography and history? Or have we free hands to give figures?
for instance, what are the average wage, the minimal wage (if it exists), retirement age, unemployment rate and so and so?

OOC:

I believe some (although not all) of that data can be found via "Eutopia: Links R Us." More generally, since these figures constitute game parameters players can definitely not make them up - that's the GM's job.

Edit: just to clarify, things like retirement age can, of course, be changed via in-game legislation.

I was the one who messed with most economic and financial data. Though GMs role haven't been defined between us yet, I could continue doing so and answer any questions people might have regarding this.

Also, in lights of the new EUtopia rules, I will have to change most economic data.

Can we have lights about the time it will take?... At the moment, the ECL can make only % demands. I accept to play as a populist, but I'd like to have "real" concerns though

May I propose you a list of data type I wish to be informed of?

Don't think you have to change much...
At least we tried to keep changes to a minimum...

Oh, but I do

As it seems now EUtopia has free healthcare, and that most of my economical data were copied and revamped from the US ones... well, you get my drift.

ok...
I understand

BB, may I bring back my questions? I'm eager to readthe description of eutopian economics you are to give
(and plz check the ECL thread, I'd like to know if the Union proposals are coherent with it)

Busy schedule here, but I'm working on it nonetheless.

I'm not big on descriptions, I'm more of a numbers guy.

Unlike the previous budget I did for EUtopia, it will be set more freely, without basis of comparison with other countries (except for the GDP, maybe). I'm not sure how big of an economy we want. Do we want to be a G7-size economy, or a smaller one?

Try to keep the same level as before.
Prehaps a bit less...
Definatly not G7 level...

I second peo. We could at the same level as Belgium (proportionnally to the population)

But don't limit yourselves to global figures. I'd like also to know more about average wages, social contributions level, and so and so. Perhaps all the players could discuss about this, then you'll have to decide among the different proposals
(sorry to be so insistent

Well, as I said, there is some differences in the level of interventionism. My last budget was made as a Canada-sized US-style economy (low interventionism, 5th economy in the world type).

I'm working on it.

Give me one or two days to finish everything a first draft.
