Our minimum wage is set at $500.00 an hour, that way all of our people are rich because that's how minimum wage apparently works to far too many otherwise civilized and intelligent nations.

While not specifically banned by any constitutional article; (many arguments for a ban can easily derived from the articles that protect free commerce and trade as well as most labour rights) not one single Republic, including several run explicitly as communist and socialist organizations support a minimum wage.

The very idea is laughed out of our universities, business guilds and political forums whenever it is brought up. Well, it would be, we're it not for the sad truth that many people believe such laws will help the poor, when in reality they do almost entirely the opposite.

Would that not cause massive inflation?

Minimum wage in Arkiasis is C7 (13.02 USD) an hour. Our high minimum wage is particularly due to our high cost of living.

We don't have a minimum wage, simply due to the fact that we're highly unionized.

Minimum wage is harmful to small business, and we promote competition among our corporations.

Therefore, this would be counterproductive.

Depends on the race. Human minimum wage is 17 gold pieces per hour. Elves get 50 pieces an hour. Demons only get 3 pieces an hour however they also recieve 1 corrupt human soul per day of work, and minions get 3 cents per 10,000 years of work

Actually as a matter of economic law, the price of living will eventually adjust to whatever the minimum price of labour is, making the actual number at which you've set the minimum more or less entirely unimportant.

Really the inevitably result of the minimum wage; higher unemployment, artificially high requirements in experience & skill and rampant nepotism in hiring practices are far more worrisome than mere rapid inflation.

No minimum wage will be found here. Public industry is better for Karcha and it's working class than private industry. Public industry managers treat our workers very well and pay them generous wages, which is about €300.00 Crests a week which is about $429.00 USD.

YellowApple, Inc. does not enforce a minimum wage, instead encouraging supply and demand to establish salaries and wages for occupations. This has resulted in a significant lack of unemployment.

Yes, we have mnimum wage.

Those who are 15-17 get minimum wage which is 14 rubies a hour.

Once you turn 18, no matter what job the bosses must pay them normal wages and not minimum wages.

Does your nation have a minimum wage?

Not at the national level, and only a bare minority of the States have minimum wage laws.
