Hey all CNCers
Here is a quick overview of my platform for your consideration. I will put out an article with it in more detail, but for now this should give you an idea.
Treian/Cypher Rhal, President and VP
Greetings my fellow eCanadian citizens. Today it is with great pride that I announce my official candidacy for the office of the Prime Minister of eCanada. I have had the pleasure of serving our nation in many different rolls over the last near year in eRepublik, and I now ask you to follow me into our new era with V2 approaching.
As V2 is nearly upon us, preparations for the changes that are coming become essential to each nation. Playing into strengths while avoiding weaknesses will be key to keeping eCanada one step ahead of our would be enemies.
Training Wars
The CAF and all its divisions are a huge strength to our nation. What we lack in quantity, we make up for in quality and heart. We can pack a stronger punch than other nations can who sport more active citizens, and as such we need to keep this train rolling. In preparation for V2 I propose holding off on any “wars” that could turn the favor away from us when the change occurs. I would like to give our military minds time to become accustomed to the new features so that we might better plan out strategy and ensure eCanadian victories. In its place, I want to organize a continuous “brolliance” training war to keep our soldiers and citizens fighting and ranking up.
Rank Up Program!
As our military men and women grow closer to that next level, whether it be moving from General to Field Marshal, or from Lieutenant to Captain, each rank up offers a stronger fight to that individual. I propose a program to help soldiers who are close to achieving their new rank get it a few days faster by offering better quality weapons to them. On a percentage system, each active soldier can apply to get these weapons to rank up days faster, facilitating higher damage producing soldiers sooner than they would have in the past.
Division of Rolls
This may be something that the high command is already tossing around behind the scenes, but I would like to see a spread sheet set up allowing, command, officers, high ranking soldiers and the rest of the CAF to sign up for the new posts that are coming out. We must be prepared for anything, and a well balanced military that consists of tanks, choppers, artillery and infantry will be important. While I would want to oversee this, I would of course allow our military leaders to take point on this project.
Balance of Government Companies
Speaking of keeping things balanced, the government must keep it’s affairs in order and ensure that any companies going through a “change” in production must be divided up to ensure that we will have stock of everything we need. For example, our two gift companies can’t both be made into tank producers. The minister of industries will have to keep a close watch on his flock in the coming weeks.
GRP (Governmentally Regulated Prices)
Now this may come with some heat, and that’s fine, however in this game, some are business owners and ALL are consumers. By stockpiling goods and putting them out onto the market at set prices the government can help to curb inflation of prices and keep the consumer happy. Everyone will make money if we are all buying goods, it’s when prices get out of control that the consumer stops purchasing and then we all lose money in the form of wages and profits.
Jobs for Everyone
We need to keep up with this to ensure that all new eRepublik citizens who chose eCanada as their home can work and train. While I understand that new citizens aren’t the best producers at work, they are essential to the growth of our eNation and the game. The government will continue to provide these entry level jobs that keep young eCanadians employed, interested and engaged in the game. Baby boom is great, however population retention is huge.
Foreign Affairs
I believe that our fellow “brolliance” and Eden nations are our most important allies and that our relationship with them is of the utmost concern. I also believe in having respect for our enemies. The foreign affairs department will ensure good communication between us and the rest of the eWorld.
Economic Stabilization
By keeping the CAD stable and prosperous we can help keep our exporting profitable. I propose we lower the value of the CAD just slightly to be close to or on par with our “broliance” nations, and our EDEN allies. This will allow us to take advantage of our Titanium and the export posabilities to our ally nations.
Titanium Protection
I believe in the protection of our resource and not its rental. We do not “rent” high iron regions from Greece or Spain, we import. While we realistically only “need” one region, having control of both puts us in an advantageous position for export. Because of this, I say we hold them and defend them and the income they will provide us. ( Unless Spain is looking to swap…… I joke)
Strategic Reserve
Since my last run against the former PM William Duncan, I have advocated for a reserve of CAD and Gold to be put aside for V2’s coming. This is still in need of being done. For the eCanadian government to react to any and all situations that may arise, we must be proactive in this measure. As V2 approaches, Gold will be bought off the market as a safe investment over currency. If the government were to put some away, it could be put to many uses, some more important than others.
National Unity and Inclusion
For those of you who know me and my first run for the CP, the principle of inclusion and unity isn’t new. My eCanada includes everyone, and for us to be strong and prosperous we need all of our citizens. The formation of the Union National proves that there is a strong francophone population here in eCanada and they have proven that they are a strong voice in our nation. However, we have citizens from all nationalities and they are all welcome in our country and should feel at home. It is my hope to use our training wars and the arrival of V2 to try and bring our nation together once again.
That my friends, is what I plan to do with a term as your PM. While I do have other long term ideas, they are best left to a later date. I will be posting in game with slightly more detail however I wanted to get to you a general overview of my ideals. I welcome criticism as I know I am not perfect. Because of this fact I am putting together a team of cabinet members who excel in area’s I may not……… More on that to come soon.
