The Plexus Expansion Act

The Plexus Expansion Act, hereby referred to in this document as the (P.E.A.), is an initiative developed by Alsandair Thraushtin, intended to give the individual Plexus Syndicate member ownership of their own P.O.S.(s) P.E.A. was developed for the extensive purpose of spreading The Plexus Syndicate presence as well as empowering the individual Plexus Syndicate member with their own means in which to make serious isk. This document will provide the guidelines and stipulations involved to those who are interested in P.E.A. Please note that those pilots who have their own P.O.S. violate Plexus regulations. All members wishing to own their own P.O.S. must have approval by Alsandair Thraushtin and Plexus Bank (if a loan is requested) under the binding auspices of P.E.A.

RULE: No member of The Plexus Syndicate can have their own P.O.S.(s) without submitting a succesful application into the P.E.A. Once approved you will then be labeled (P.E.A.). It will be a license to show you can in fact have a personal P.O.S. within The Plexus Syndicate.

This document was one of the most inspirational ideas I have ever had. This single document in effect, will over time, change our very own inter corporation governmental structure from a more socialized system to a more capitalistic system. The Plexus Expansion Act reminds me of America's Homestead Act. Go out and grab your land. This one simple document will in effect make all divisions obsolete, except for U.D.F... YOU will be, as an individual of The Plexus Syndicate, the very businesses that support our infrastructure. Each one of you now will represent a facet of industry. However, this does not change the fact that we will still and more than ever need the U.D.F. By accepting 30% taxes from the P.E.A. act and all pilots, as well as raising the overall corp tax to 30% we can, in time, afford to pay all of our soldiers a salary, pay future governmental workers in different branches yet to be determined, and in the future create government programs which aid our citizens. At the same time, this maximizes the profits made by individual pilots in industry 100 fold, far exceeding what they could have made working in a division.

From this point on there will only be two classes of pilots within the Plexus Syndicate:

Citizen - (All industrialists are now labeled Citizen)
Soldier - (Ranking System and Specializations Stay for all U.D.F.)

Citizens and soldiers alike are now required to pay a monthly tax of 30% on all profits, on all goods sold in the markets, and personal business ventures. Please note that you are being taxed 30% on all PROFITS... NOT TOTAL SALES. This tax payment goes to a character in our corporation labeled "Plexus Tax" who in turn will put this isk in the coffers of the Plexus Syndicate for the sole benefit of The Plexus Syndicate and for the shareholders of The Order of The Bank of New Eden. Please send the tax payment on the first of each month. The tax rate will be increased to 30%. Keep in mind that Americans get taxed at a rate of 36% on all income on average. We are switching to a capitalist government. The taxes will be used to keep our military stocked on what they need to defend our ideals as well as their salaries in the near future. It will also be used to increase monthly dividends to those who have invested in us. I repeat, our system is now a Capitalist form of government. If you violate your commitment on your taxes or commit tax fraud you will be kicked out of Plexus. At the end of the first week of each month those who have not paid their taxes on all personal profits, will be posted in a corp mail. A personal warning via eve-mail will be given if your taxes are still not paid at the end of a 4 week period. Two straight months of not paying your 30% tax will get you expelled. Of course some of you who have real life commitments and have notified me properly of your absence in EvE, will be omitted and expected to pay upon your return.

This is an honor based system. Since you are pilot's of Plexus I have no doubt of your honor and integrity. This means that I understand, as your CEO, you all understand our philosophy of We Are One. Keep in mind the 30% tax of your profits is in direct relation to the success of the corporation and will benefit the whole, making us all more successful. This new capitalistic model gives pilots more freedom to go where they wish, do what they wish, and have more fun. The work load will now be distributed evenly by the individual, who in turn makes up the whole. Work will no longer be unfairly put on the shoulders of those who have to bear the burden of others who aren't as active or do not make good on their promises to help. I will be making Bud Brigman Secretary of State & Meena Skuel Secretary of The Treasury. They have lent me amazing support and help amongst big adversity and I trust them to help me run this corporation with all the heart they have always put into Plexus. This new system will make each and every single, individual, pilot personally responsible for the success of The Plexus Syndicate... truly reflecting our nation's philosophy.

We Are One,
