The option where we get paid won. Do tell how much we should get. (If you hate all the listed figures, say so. They're intended as ballpark guesses.)

2000 ECs is what your average country has earned in it's entire life, maybe even a little more than that. I think something in the order of 1000-1500 ECs, about what you'd get for winning a contest.

Note that contest winnings (along with other sources of ECs) were recently doubled.

2000 EC still seems like a lot to me. Again, that's like the size of some statelets.

Although, yeah, if it's at the end of their term of service, I guess 2000 seems reasonable.

I'm voting for 5000. It does seem like a lot, yes.

Let me preface this next thing by saying Alicorn is truly doing a marvelous job as Speaker :)

But remember when we tried to elect a Speaker? No one wanted it. The two people who tied for it fought for the right to not be Speaker! I think a substantial reward for being Speaker will motivate the elections next time and perhaps even encourage intrigue into securing a Speakership to advance one's statelet instead of the seeming like a shackled dead weight (which I think is the reason no one wanted it before.... certainly was mine ;) ).

I am voting for 2000 EC. Not because this is a job that shouldn't have some sort of compensation, but because we don't want compensation to be the sole reason for becoming Autokrator. A person should want the job, not bear it as a burden simply because they're being paid.
