Well that was interesting wasnt it folks?  We have a country event which I am sure some of us if not most of us participated in.  Well done everyone who participated.  Shout out to the President for his efforts at diplomacy to make it a successful event.  I see the award was 1000 gold to the country treasury, again well done.  I dont know what kind of deals where made behind the scenes, but I have one suggestion here.  You can either agree  or tell me to go pound salt.
     Since I joined the game, all Ive heard about was how bad the economy is.  Now I am a player that is on a fixed income, so there is not a lot of dollars to go around.  I therefore will not be able to build a tank factory, or a aircraft factory as Ill never get enough gold to upgrade factories to meet the requirements for having the tank, and airplane factories.  That is unless I find a sugar daddy, or momma to fill my coffers with the required gold.  I am not holding my breath there.  So here is what I was thinking for country awards:
     You take a percentage maybe half so 50%, and set up a dedicated fund that people could apply to to help them with a little gold when needed.  Mainly to help people grow their economies when first starting off.  This way the new players are able to grow and contribute quicker to the overall well being of the country.  This way the economy will grow with people buying factories, and doing upgrades.  As a bonus they may be able to place items on the market, so tax revenue will grow from the sales there.
     Thanks for taking the time to read my article, its greatly appreciated.  You can tell me to go pound salt if you want, or let me know what you think.  Either way I am just saying
