Countries in CoinRepublik are run by players, who have the power to propose and modify laws. Only premium citizens can propose new laws. A tax or bonus law changes its target by a percent of its current value: a single law may raise it by up to 100% or lower it by up to 50%, and the system computes the resulting value—taxes stay whole percentages (capped at 25%) and bonuses are kept to a maximum of 4 decimals. Two treasury laws let a country move its state budget between gold and its national currency at the live market rate, with no fee: one converts up to 100% of the budget's gold into national currency, and the other converts up to 1% of the budget's national currency into gold per day. When a new law is proposed, citizens vote on it for 24 hours. Voting power is not equal and depends on the population of each player's town—e.g., a player with 70 citizens has a voting power of 70, while a town with 25 citizens has a voting power of 25—and only players with at least 25 citizens in their town are eligible to vote. For a normal law to pass, at least 10 different citizens must vote and the YES side must hold at least 51% of the voting power cast. If fewer than 10 citizens vote, the law is rejected—unless the proposer is a VIP member, in which case the law passes automatically even with no votes, unless the citizens who did vote reject it. Once a tax or bonus is actually changed by an approved law, that same target is locked from any new change for 30 days; if a proposal is rejected instead, the target is locked for only 5 days before it can be proposed again. This system ensures that player influence is proportional to their population, creating a balanced political structure. In addition, VIP members hold one special executive power: a VIP may instantly approve or veto a single law that is currently in voting in their own country, settling it immediately — without waiting out the 24-hour vote or reaching the 10-voter quorum — but only once every 7 days, after which the power recharges. This is the only exception; every other rule above, including the quorum, stays exactly the same.
Laws
"Asta e o taxa destul de suparatoare pentru ca deja la salarii se plateste catre fond / referer / oras care te-a ocupat...."
What this means
Salary tax is a percentage taken from every salary a citizen receives from a job. It is deducted in the same money the salary is paid in (gold or local currency) and goes to the state budget of the worker's country.
Raising it sends more of every paycheck to the state budget, but workers take home less, which can make jobs in your country less attractive.
Lowering it lets workers keep more of each paycheck and can attract more workers, while the state budget collects less from salaries.
This is a neutral explanation to help you decide — it doesn't favor either side.
Proposed by a VIP member
With fewer than 10 voters, this law passes automatically when the 24-hour window closes — unless the citizens who voted reject it. Once 10 or more citizens vote, the normal 51% approval rule applies to everyone alike.
