New Non-Government Debating Entity: Adam Smith Foundation
I would like to announce the creation of a brand new organization devoted to the creation of economic policy for Apolytonia: the Adam Smith Foundation, or ASF. This new Foundation will analyze existing policy, research information and use it to help create ideas for domestic policy. As the new Minister of the Economy, I feel that the domestic aspect of government needs a debating body like the War Academy or Machiavelli Institute. So this thread has been started for these reasons:

1. To announce the creation of this new Foundation devoted to Economic policy.

2. To serve as a place where people may join the foundation and help further the debate on domestic policy.

3. To garner support from key government and former government officials.

I declare the Adams Smith Foundation officially open!

The members, in order of seniority, of the Foundation are:

This will be linked to soon enough, Donal, don't worry. You could also include a link in your sig to help it be remembered.

Don't add me though, I had enough of math in school. I will watch this one as closely as the Diplo thingy that Robber Baron named specifically so that I couldn't ever spell it properly however.

The area that is covered by the Adam Smith Foundation is pretty much everything domestic, as well as some foreign. The jobs of the following officials are all included in the area of domestic politics :Ministers of the Economy, Public Works, Imperial Expansion, as well as the City Planner. Trading can also be important when economic concerns are present, such as resources and luxuries, as well as gpt and lump sums of money.

The Foundation is designed to discuss anything of economic value, which does include City Planning and Public Works (roads increase trade, hence an economic effect). Pretty much anything domestic is covered, as the economy is not just how much money we have or make in a turn, but what we are building, how much maintenance we will be paying, etc.
