Last cycle we had a President-to-citizen income inequality ratio of 5:1. I was thinking that is a bit unfair, so put together a revised table (attached) which reduces that ratio to 3:1. Ultimately, I believe it’s up to the government to set pay rates. These are just suggestions.
Suggested income inequality ratios, corresponding with economic philosophies:
1:1 (Communism)
2:1 (Socialism)
3:1 (Social democracy)
5:1 (Centrism)
7.5:1 (Capitalism)
10:1 (Hyper-capitalism)
This introduces an economic aspect to the roleplay which could be fun.
The government may choose to pay itself way more than average citizens, but if it does so, then it might pay a price at the polls!
So choose wisely!
