New+Haven+EoT+2

[Earth Sphere's population remained 5000. I thought 5 population immigrated to Venus? Will we have natural population growth? Although colonies do need to build habitats to allow for that and Earth must have population control measures.]


 * Economy +++++ +++**

1. Immigration to New Haven +++++

Building new Habitats & Infrastructure for Immigration. I hope it will eventually count towards Solar Shield project.

[Gain Population from Earth]

2. Pearly Gate Resort +++

Completing the construction.

[Gain WO]


 * Morale +++++ +++**

1. +++++ I've got lots of immigrants, who have relatives and friends left on Earth. I'd like to encourage population to keep in touch and send regular mail, to give New Haven human face.

[WO gain]

2. +++ Convince population, giving resources to Earth right now, would pay off in the future and a good thing to do. Strengthen trust in government.


 * Military: 0/++**

1. Toughen security for taxes to Earth. This shipment mast pass through.


 * I. ESP: 0/+++-**

1. Again, make sure the taxes for Earth are securely shipped.


 * PO: +++++ +++++ -**

New Haven has highest tax rate among colones (75%) same as Titan, but they refused to pay, where we delivered. Many colonies have much lower tax rate or even get subsidies from Earth (like Promethean Shipyards, not sure they provided anything back to Earth Sphere the previous turn). Basically, we are the colony, that sacrifices the most for Earth. (Yes Central is working on new taxation scheme, but they were like this before and we paid them)

And we are willing to do even more - New Haven will deliver everything we produce in excess of our own needs this year, beyond tax rate - as 0% loan to be repaid, once Earth solves its resource scarcity problem.

Also, Pearly Gate resort is finished and I'd like to start delivering letters & press from Venus to Earth with regular ships going between us.


 * Resources:**

All above my R USE is sent to Earth.

[Current Resource Stockpile 10 (since the Pearly Gate Resort wasn't finished)]

R EXT: 160 R USE: 26.75


 * Population: 30**

10: Habitat Construction 10: Resource Extraction 10: Contacts with Earth (letters, articles in magazines on life on Venus, downloads from Venus internet like youtube, facebook, blogs, etc.).

P.S. If I need resources for Venus Internet, I'll pull some Economy from habitat construction.

[Plans for next turn: use my WO to convince Earth's population they should apply pressure on Central Government to direct resources to develop Venus - and get tough on the Moocher Colonies].
