The Department of Internal Affairs and Treasury

SoIA Superique

This is the official government page of the Department of Internal Affairs under Superique’s Tenure.  That is the place where real orders and instructions are signed and it’s also the place for debating our internal issues. Any Regional Governor, Senator, President and Vice-President is allowed to post on that thread while citizens that hold no office may PM the SoIA or post on the Atlasian Hour.

[Maxwell]

Congratulations Secretary!

All the projects settled by the local governments will have to meet the criteria of promoting economical, environmental and social sustainability and will be evaluated by a local commission set by the Department of Internal Affairs.

Can someone stick that to me please?

[Sec. of State Superique]

Can someone stick that to me please?

Could you clarify what you mean by that?

I think I'm using the wrong term... Maybe, fix it? I don't recall the word. What I want is that my thread keep always in the top... =P

[Sec. of State Superique]

I'll send Gustaf a PM.

So what was the term that I forgot?

The SoIA, Superique.

Should the cap really be set that low? The minimum wage is currently $11.50 (and quite soon it will be $12.50) and a cap of $30,000 a year would put max hourly wage at around $14.40. With our minimum wage as high as it is prices are sure to be quite a bit higher than in real life; a max salary that low would be a major problem in places with higher standards of living. It also doesn't allow for any difference in salaries between experienced and more productive workers and new hires or for any salary differences for the lower level managers of works programs.

I'm certainly not objecting to any of your fine work; we need someone like you as SoIA. I'd just like to throw my two cents in on something I see as a slight oddity in your otherwise sterling job so far.

[Dereich]

Are you controlling for the 32-hour workweek and paid time off, Dereich? I calculate a maximum hourly wage of about $20 per hour. Benefits, I assume, do not count toward the wage cap.

Ah, no I actually hadn't accounted for that. You wouldn't happen to know the bill where that was passed, do you? With that in mind, ignore what I said. I don't THINK most of my objections still stand, although I'm trying to find out more about what sort of impact such a short week would have on prices so I may bring it back up later.

Offshore drilling spill´s Response finally improved in Atlasia.

In accordance with The National Offshore Oil Spill Response Equipment and Resources Act; the following Oil Spill Response Zones are settled in Atlasia. Proper resources and actions are going to be taken to create this specific area.
 

The following cities will host Oil Stockpiles:
 
Charleston, SC (Blue Zone)
Mobile, AL (Yellow Zone)
San Diego, CA (Green Zone)
Dutch Harbor, AK (Pink Zone)
Virginia Beach, VA (Red Zone)

Regions in the Northeast are still in need of further research until drilling is allowed.

You are doing Leip's work, Superique.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I draw your attention to this post by shua.

Does anybody know if Atlasia has established an official retirement plan for seniors, or is that already covered by the Social Security Act, the basics of which I assume resemble the real life version's?

https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/Comprehensive_Social_Security_Reform_Act

unless I missed it, section 8 of this bill has not been fulfilled.  That this program is being run without any account of its total cost and revenues is worth keeping in mind as the basic income bill is being considered.

Because there is nothing like returning with a desk piling over with paperwork.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I ran across these earlier and they might come in handy in terms of your recent projects:

Of course if future legislation has different mechanism, they supercede this and I think that is how we have almost invariably done it.

I'm not sure how I'm going to do this kind of Research. I'm looking forward for help of everyone on that specific mission!

Oh, I found the money.

[Lumine]

My most sincere congratulations to Superique for his efficient handling of Internal Affairs, now the Midwest will be able to fund some of our newest projects without any problems. To spend the money we go!

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Oh, I found the money.

I can already feel the chill emanating off of the ice wall...

Don't tempt me. The stimulus could very well turn into a special infrastructure project

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

What does our corporate tax structure look like? I want to propose closing the overseas tax shelter loopholes and lowering our overall rates if that has not been done already.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

To clarify, was this reduction ever passed by the Senate? Or was this simply a budget projection if the changes were implemented?

If they have not been, I plan to tackle that problem as soon as I can. I have learned a lot after my thesis on this very subject.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I don't know how Atlasian tax law works. I have proposed tax incentives and cuts in the past in the Senate, but perhaps I don't have to do that this time. I have no idea. If anyone else knows, please speak up so I can propose this change to the Senate.
