How difficult is it to acquire a house in your nation?

The Myravkan Communist Party (MCP) maintains a government housing program geared towards building residences for all citizens of Myravka. The planning boards and distribution offices spend a decent amount of time on city planning projects to ensure pre-revolution villages, towns, and cities receive new updated housing blocs. They're not one-family houses that are being built, but efficient apartment-like structures designed to give the vast majority of people an affordable place to live with utilities like electricity, heat, running water, internet, telephones, and garbage / recycling pickup outside.

So if we're being technical about it, you couldn't get a "house", but if house in this instance just means a good place to live, then the housing bloc units being constructed everywhere in true communist style are a high construction priority set by the MCP. Safety and comfort for our comrades is important.

In terms of difficulty of obtaining a place to live, not everyone is able to conveniently get a home at the standard level of quality because the housing blocs simply cannot be built fast enough. So local construction cooperatives are authorized to make very simplified tent/shanty towns out of prefabricated parts. Prefab residential areas don't have as many amenities as a proper housing bloc, but they at least provide the bare minimums, such as protection from the elements and a dry place to sleep.

yip, the board still as dead as ever :(

In Tazy, it's relatively easy to acquire a house. the government offers support, there are various programs and initiatives in place to help individuals and families own their own property. Tazy as a country values the importance of having stable and secure housing for its citizens, and has created a streamlined process to ensure that purchasing a home is not a difficult or lengthy process. Also, Hi Osiris! 💜

On the station, housing (dorm floors), is assigned to all citizens. The largest housing dorms are reserved for members of the Sovereign's family, Viceroys, and Magistrates. Other housing exists for the purposes of child-rearing couples and workers, as well. [If a citizen is deemed successful in their assigned career, they will then have a chance to apply for a coupling ( 'couplings' are what Cretanjan refer to as entering a domestic partnership ), if approved, a match that is deemed beneficial to rear a healthy child, will be setup and the newly formed couple will then be moved into a domestic housing unit called a "Coupling Chamber". All citizens not approved for the state sanctioned coupling live in four-bed "Bunk Chambers".]

incredibly easy. you show up, and you get a house. until we run out of empty land, it’ll probably stay that way. the majority of our land is reserved for housing

Very hard, and this time the geography is the problem and not the government! This is because our country has an absurd population density and there is nowhere near enough room for every single person, even if all our islands have been converted into massive skyscrapers. We generally rely on land reclamation, but this can only go so far.

Wait, wouldn't someone technically just make a blueprint of the house they want in your nation, and then it being built by drones?

It is not difficult. Incomes are high and housing prices are low (for some reason) in the rich areas like the northeast. However, in the middle of the circle, which is the poorest area of the country, many houses are self-built and the stone, concrete, beams, and bricks are often made by hand. The town colleges in the center of Kharostia are often corrupt and offer available and sturdy housing only to the richest.

Rome wasn't built in a day, a town in Little Alternia was.

That would depend greatly on one's circumstances. Most of Dennenberg's population remains highly rural despite the rapid increase of urbanization due to the widespread growth of industrialization, so it isn't uncommon for most of the population to reside in multi-generational homes that were built by their family or themselves. Any Minister of Housing would have nightmares over the lack of regulations for the construction of most of these homes beyond urban areas but there is a growth towards regulating these, particularly in southern regions such as Rijkhaven which can afford to enforce these laws. Within urban areas, the northeastern regions are known for the incredible ease of acquiring housing, provided that you are living in a company town. In the urban southwest, the housing market is known for its nightmarish competition between buyers who are willing to fight tooth and nail. One moldy apartment for rent can instigate dozens of workers into cutthroat competition, hoping that the proximity to the city could secure a dangerous but well-paid job in the factories.

Question of the Day:

What is a notable example of a work of media you encountered that was 'almost good'?

Tethys 13 wrote:My answer:
I have been watching a show called Superman and Lois recently. It gets so many things right that are easy to get wrong, such as Superman's heart, refusal to kill, and prioritisation of rescuing people above all else. However, it relies so much on established ideas of the characters that those ideas become 'informed attributes', things we are told and not shown. Lois is claimed to be the greatest journalist in the world, but we only ever see her be absolutely awful at it, writing unsubstantiated smear pieces and getting called out for her lack of journalistic integrity in all three seasons. Superman's abilities are wildly inconsistent, and he loses or only narrowly wins every single fight he gets into, while all of the side characters end up feeling as useless as Dragon Ball's supporting cast, with the comparison been most keenly noticed in a case where a side-character who is supposed to be powerful gives a several-minute speech about how it is his time to step up, then flies off, blinds the villain for all of a second, and immediately gets defeated, which is far too close a Krillin mirror, except we were supposed to take this character seriously.
Overall the show had such potential, and manages to hit some excellent key notes, but is dragged down by some extremely questionable writing choices.

This is, a controversial and probably a minority opinion, but Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. I watched a few episodes of it, but I could not finish it. There's something about the animation, the dialogue, something that I just didn't enjoy. But it's certainly not the worst. 😅

Blasphemy!
i do think they kinda drag out some parts of the show like how they did the movie and redid the movie but in episodes for the first half of s2, but smh nonetheless

We got an issue relating to some genocidal minor nation, but the only options were to invade it or defund the military. Why can’t we ally ourselves with it, which is likely what we would do in character?

Yea, the issues don't always have options your nation will choose. The people making issues usually try to list all likely options while making every decision a little wacky, but especially with older issues, some updates may be needed. I usually dismiss the issue or choose the closest option in the circumstances you encountered.

An explanation of the economy of the People's Republic of Myravka.

The country is still in the process of creating a developed, modern economy for itself. The country was highly agrarian and possessed little industry compared to other countries. The planning offices and distribution centers were instituted after the revolution. Many peasant workers were collectivized onto massive farms owned by the state. Even more vital than the farms, the nation's fisheries were already owned by great guilds that were effectively converted into nationalized corporations, bringing in much-needed protein.

Industries like steel, concrete, electronics, larger scale food production, and building construction are underdeveloped but steadily being improved. Many needed goods and services are imported at costly prices, forcing the Myravkan Communist Party to cleverly run a deficit economy based on strategically taking and repaying loans in a careful balancing act. The importation and debt policies are keeping the people well-supplied and able to continue working, but it cannot be said that Myravka is truly prospering or capable of supporting itself without heavy dependence on trade.

Economic projections are so dire for the People's Republic that the Myravkan Communist Party is working on a plan to tap Myravka's coal and oil reserves. It may cause pollution in the short term, but selling the nation's energy reserves and using what isn't sold to boost industrial growth is an attractive plan that the MCP has decided to compromise on. Coal powerplants are being built to help electrify the nation, and excess power from the grid is being sold to bordering countries. Crude oil is being extracted by pumpjacks, stored in massive tanks, sold, and piped out to the international market. Energy and fuel independence is crucial to reducing Myravka's deficit spending and easing the pressure off the national budget.

The more recent national focus shift towards tapping into fossil fuels and expanding industry for export is causing a slowdown in the development of civil infrastructure, but MCP propaganda is telling people to work hard and trust in the great plan. More infrastructure and jobs in coal and oil are needed to effectively grow the Myravkan economy and build a modern future for the People's Republic.
