[BC4CP: Policies] Victoria’s real secret? She’s voting Baron Chris
BaronChris
Happy New Year. I write this following my announcement to stand as CP for the eUK and want to outline a few ideas that set me aside from the rest of the candidates. For citizens of the eUK, it will mean a greater time economically, socially and politically; with a number a ways to get involved and grow your political CV.
It’s a bold and ambitious plan, but if implemented, we will be the toast of the new world. Of course, it can only be achieved by a copious supply of experienced citizens, and I have a number already, I am still looking for people to be in my government. Send me a message if you’d be interested. This is your chance to serve your country. Firstly, I want to explain some of the people who will greatly benefit from my term as CP.
Who will benefit?
-Young and enthusiastic citizens looking for a political start.
-Proactive UK military units.
-Those who liked to be entertained.
-The UK media machine.
-The haters, naturally.
Finance
MoF will be key in watching the coffers and making sure that we are spending within our means as well as building up the countries reserves after a long period of war and large spending. Finance will also look at new ways to raise capital for the country and its various new schemes. The department will continue to run the training ground loan scheme.
NEW: Ministry of Business and Innovation
The MoBI is responsible for economic growth in the eUK. It will publish regular articles encouraging citizens to build their industry with tips on how to make the most of their money running their businesses; from employing staff and selling their things to market. It will also streamline a scheme to give grants and loans to budding entrepreneurs who want to improve their industry capabilities.
Defence
The MoD this term will serve to protect the eUK and it’s regions, and make sure that MU’s are alerted regularly of eUK priorities. MU’s that comply will be given significant publicity and praise from the department in gratitude for assisting the eUK. An MoD consultancy service will also be set up to help MU’s (who want it), in attracting members and keeping them active. A weekly most valuable soldier article will also go out to say thank you to those patriots in their divisions.
NEW: Ministry of Projectiles
I cannot take full credit for this ministry; it was an idea thought up a while ago that I really wanted to see happen, so I’ve included it in my manifesto. This new ministry is a project similar to the NHS scheme that gives food daily to younger players, and provide weapons to players to assist them in fighting in the eUK. Once set up, the National Armament Scheme will be seperated from government and run devoid of government or political control for the good of the citizens of the eUK.
Foreign Affairs
A list of options will be compiled by MoFA, and will be given to congress to vote on our options, including the option to abstain from taking any action.
The reorganisation of the ambassadorial programme, which will give dozens of younger and less experienced players a chance to start their political careers. It will be organized using regional directors, managing areas of the New World who will help the ambassadors carry out their roles in their countries.
NEW: Ministry of Governmental Affairs
This department deals with the transparency deficit in government currently. Reports will be given the MoGA and fortnightly, an article will be released to the public with information on what each department has been doing and spending and where. The department will also deal with congress disputes and votes on non-game law. It could be seen as a replacement for the Ministry of Legal Affairs which was not fully enacted (long story) a few terms ago.
Home Affairs
There will be the return of the daily news update (which I started a few months ago whilst MoHA), selecting and publicising the best of UK media. Home Affairs will also provide guidelines (NOT RULES) on what to look for when approving and denying citizenship. Differing from past attempts to solve the immigration problem, this is a move to advise and guide newer congressmen and women, and not to demand or punish wrongdoers.
NEW: Ministry of Tourism
Reportable to the Ministry of Home affairs, this is a trial run if elected. The department which will encourage experienced players to come to the UK to fight and contribute to the UK economy. It will be in charge of creating literature for prospective citizens
Entertainment
The department will bemuse, amuse and confuse over the next month. As a department close to my heart, there will be more funding for MoEnt, so that more competitions and prizes can brighten the day of eUK citizens. Also, an awards ceremony will be organized to celebrate 2014 and the people who have shone in the last year in the eUK (and those who haven’t) held live on IRC.
Education
A stupendous number of articles giving advice to younger citizens in different areas of the game, written by MoEd and commissioning articles from experienced citizens of the eUK. The Minister will be responsible for asking citizens to write articles for the department.
Congress
Congress will play a huge role in the next term. On top of a very important advisory role, congress will be invited to vote on matters such as our alliance options, among the regular in game votes. I see congress as a very important machine and will run the country, while myself and my cabinet try and keep everyone happy and prosperous.
Well. That’s it. Hope it gets your vote.
Kind Regards,
Baron Chris
UK CP Candidate

Vote, sub, comment, shout, endorse! Any of these would be most appreciated!
You forgot to mention that you told me that I surely will not be in your MoD.
So I have to ask, who will be your MoD?
Serf, how could you work with someone who you called a slime ball on irc? You've shown by your conduct you have no interest in working with me, so it makes it hard to want you!
Still no answer on who will be your MoD... And yea, someone trying to get us into LETO and betray all allies is a slime ball.
Still no answer on this...
The MoD will be someone who either spends hundreds of dollars of RL money on a mid-level tier country or someone who is not. Just because one person pays to play this game more than someone who does not does not make you a stellar MoD. And this is not to say you don't know how to war on this game, but you will always have an edge on someone who just doesn't give a hoot about paying to play.
It would be impressive if you tried your job without CO's though. Now that would be commendable and worthy of a fine MoD.
Someone asked you something? Last night you admitted you're USA emissary here so why do you interfere in our politics? And obviously you have no clue about who is spending what or our history OR what I did for the UK.
lol i said I'm done with interfering too. or did you forget already?
Try and do your job without CO's and then tell everyone how badass of a MoD you are.
What job does the MoD have if he isn't using COs? There's barely anything else to it. SerF hasn't proved he is a stellar MoD through the amount he's spent, he's proved it through his dedication in going without sleep several times in order to monitor his COs and battles that we and our allies were involved in.
Will the MoBI pay for a few factories for me? 🙂
That's the idea! It will start off small and grow 🙂
I should have made that face more of a shit-eating grin.
I think you might be overdoing it with the number of new ministries, it's a struggle just to get the current ones to do their jobs, but at least it's better than not changing anything at all, and some of the other weird CP ideas we've had...
It will be a bold move, but I feel that those in the ministries, I have worked with before in some capacity and will do a good job in pushing this forward. On top of this, I promise not to sleep for the term to make sure it all works 😛
Won't it be a bit of a waste of money? There is very little gain to be made in the dead Economy module, so there are probably more cost effective ways to help out players. Any money we have to give away should go to TGs and Contracts. The rest is essentially a waste of money
The way I see it is that factory grants should only be granted to those with maxed TGs, after you've got your TGs and a contract the only other thing to do really is upgrade your company crap to try and make yourself a bit more self sufficient. But getting companies before that point is a waste of time really, strength is much more important.
Good luck BC 🙂 o7
Good Luck!
What we need Minister of Tourism... lol 😃 .Seriously why you are announcing something that even not exsist at least as official role.Other things are quite good.Also what MoBI be,is that we have to replace MoF.Good luck BC.
P.S will I be in your cabinet?. o7
A lot of the new departments are trials to see if they make things better 🙂 That's the aim of the manifesto. MoF and MoBI will work closely together 🙂
Message me mate, there's always room for my buddy Alex 🙂
Seriously, this is the best manifesto I've seen in a long time.
BC is probably the best candidate so far, some really innovative and good ideas here.
BC4CP!
Except for fata, that's a damn strong candidate there.
What innovative ideas? For the important ministries he used lots of words to say very little, and the 'new' ministries are gimmicks to appear like he's got 'fresh ideas'. Since when can the CP just appoint someone to 'settle congress disputes'?
I thought BC's ideas, recycled or not, are quite clever and fun.
I think you're forgetting the "Ministry of Glorious Praise".
Anyway, I suppose you look at BC's work with more scrutiny than I, which is why I think it's good and you think it's bad, which is fine.
Er, did you just say that the MoGP was BC's idea?
"and the 'new' ministries are gimmicks to appear like he's got 'fresh ideas'. Since when can the CP just appoint someone to 'settle congress disputes'?"
I was reminding you of the MoGP in reply to the last sentence.
I made sense in my mind!
At least I'm trying new things adrastos instead of collecting titles and doing nothing of value.
Adrastos does nothing of value?
He was pivotal in organising ATO movements.
You keep alienating a lot of players who have really helped the eUK in previous months.
You're the one that lists your titles on your profile BC, not me..
I was a vCP once, clearly better than you tossers amirite
Ministry of tourism sounds like a waste of time if I'm honest, but the rest of your department ideas could work in theory, so long as you don't go all out straight away like that daft national MU idea BigAnt had.
I've got a good team behind me who will keep me from doing anything daft 🙂
Who is in that team...
Soon!
Soon? You told me you don't want to reveal the team not to piss of the pubic...
*public... lol
Well you're just a lying little shit then aren't you? You're a nasty little bully and need to grow up.
Wait what? lol
No Ministry of Glorious Praise, no vote
"Finance will also look at new ways to raise capital for the country and its various new schemes"
Care to elaborate, this is a rather generic bold statement without anything to back it up. Unless you have prior knowledge from Plato the only way to raise Capitol is to increase tax or conquer other lands for more taxes.
"NEW: Ministry of Business and Innovation"
Basically this whole paragraph is about increasing people's production. Do you have any plans to offset this increased production against the already over saturated markets. Prices have been dropping for months.
"An MoD consultancy service will also be set up to help MU’s (who want it), in attracting members"
And where will these members come from? Imported players, new players or just stealing people from other mu's?
"NEW: Ministry of Projectiles"
Good idea, how will it be funded? I know from my multiple nhs supplier stints that income is done from fishing the monetary market and resource production and donations are needed more than ever. If this scheme will require a lot of donations then that could eat into the funds the nhs receives from private citizens. Do you have a plan to counter this?
"The reorganisation of the ambassadorial programme, which will give dozens of younger and less experienced players a chance to start their political careers."
As a 3 time former ambassador I always like to see this programme rebooted, how do you plan to attract dozens of people to join? The best scheme I participated on only had about 6 active members plus the MoFA.
"The department will also deal with congress disputes and votes on non-game law"
How will it deal with congress? This department will require the good will of all elected congressmen. And also could you clarify how it deals with non game laws, as it's department will be elected by yourself and not the public so therefore shouldn't be dealing with any laws at all.
"Ministry of Tourism"
Will the first tourists be more federalists?
tl;dr
Nice to see people being vocal about voting bc4cp can't be bothered to read questions about his manifesto. Talk about the blind leading the blind.
I think you hit all the potential issues with the manifesto on the head here, tbqh. From what I know of his plans, a lot of this is a trial or attempted trial, if it doesn't work BC will drop it or change it to be more workable.
I think trying and flexibility is key here, and, tbf, at least hes put a lot of thought into it. Still, your concerns mirror mine, and will be interesting to see if he ever pushes through them!
Main issue: He's in MU that sets CO against our allies, makes shouts to fight for PK and against our allies and its Commanders confessed he's a foreign government emissary here.
Haha, I did actually read it, I'm just very, very tired and it was hard-going.
Calm down Kieran, I'm not exactly sure what you'd like me to say other than that you make a lot of radical assumptions, such as this:
"Will the first tourists be more federalists?"
I'm fairly sure assumptions don't end in question marks
Assumptions don't necessarily replace questions.
I agree with Boh that Kieran covered the issues.
Some good criticisms there, no doubt the answers will be revealed sooner or later.
Great article it seems you have much sense something which the eUK has been missing for a while, the UKPP has a good member here!
Good Luck
"there will be more funding for MoEnt"
Where will the money come from?
"congress will be invited to vote on matters such as our alliance options, among the regular in game votes"
Does it not require a congress vote to join or leave an alliance anyway? So what's the point of stating they will be invited to vote?
Also I have another few questions outside your manifesto.
1) Under Alex's term you tried to gain access to all the orgs passwords when you didnt need to and you done it in an under hand manner that would have suggested an attempted robbery, screenshots can be provided. Why did you attempt to gain access?
2) Under Suezo's term you held talks with enemy nations behind our allies backs and attempted to secure a place in an enemy alliance potentially destroying our relationships with several countries who helped us numerous times. This was also done without congress discussion. If you where willing to do this why should we vote you into CP at a time where we need to build trust.
3) Can you address what appears to be the importation of federalist voters and you public ally trying to strengthen ties to a party in an almost hostile nation.
Don't forget he promised Canada our oil if they let us into LETO! lol
You can tell this is a decent manifesto as you've got Serf, Adastros and the DC crowd jumping on your back. When Wayne wades in, you'll know you've got them really worried 😉
Good manifesto BC - nice to see someone come up with something new.
